sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as he reached close to her, a scythe materialized in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body moved swiftly, propelling itself back to evade the scythe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\" Young Shyamal clicked her tongue in annoyance as she jerked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She' wanted to kill at least one person close to Shyamal so it would

the room as a cluster of green covered young Azariah's entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slowly moved, covering the bodies of both Ashlyn and Arianell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Older Shyamal looked up, while her younger self turned toward Azariah, radiating with life energy, his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah turned and hugged older Shyamal tightly, burying her face in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want her to see what happened after that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Move.\" Shyamal whispered quietly, pleading with him. \"....Please, I want to know what happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah thought hard before gently moving aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Shyamal grinned as she rushed toward Azariah, her gem-like eyes glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of metal clashing resonated as Shane arrived just in time to save Azariah's head from getting sliced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a gentle hit on Shyamal's wrist, he made her lose her grip on her scythe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one hand, he grabbed her before throwing her to the ground, slamming her hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Shyamal groaned in pain as the black threads around her began to dissipate, vanishing into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sigh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shane sighed lowering his guard as he turned to look at young Azariah, who was somehow growing paler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved to stop Azariah, but before he could, his instincts kicked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his body around, but it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shyamal's scythe cut right through his stomach as he turned around, gutting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with one last smile, Shyamal's body turned limp, falling unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Older Shyamal let out an unrecognizable cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Azariah froze in his place as he noticed someone else in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...A maid with an ordinary
