---- "Ss, wake up, wake up, please, Im begging you!" Tears streamed down Sigrids face, her hands pressed to Sss chest, giving him thest of her power, neglecting her own wounds to heal him.


    Green, life-infused energy spread across his ckened skin, the veins like dark spiderwebs visible beneath patches of pallor.


    Sss faceGoddess, his face lookedpletely burned, his eyes closed, though Sigrid imagined both orbs were tainted.


    His chest barely rose and fell; he had pushed his elemental body to the brink.


    "No...


    mydy...


    the poison...


    I wont make it...


    save your energy to escape...


    run...


    run..." Ss lifted his cold, trembling, weak hand.


    He ced it over Sigrids hands on his chest, revealing pupils like bottomless pits.


    "You idiot, bad ve, you''re bad! Why did you disobey me?! why?! " Sigrid screamed at him, tears pouring down endlessly, mingling with the soft drizzle.


    "Ss, no, no, dont give up, dont leave me alone, please, dont leave me..."" She cradled him in her arms, trying to give him all her energy, to heal him, but he resisted.


    He knew he was dying, and if it was for her, he didnt care.


    In these final moments, he realized that for this woman, he was willing to give everything.


    It was the first time he fully epted disappearing from this world, despite all his grievances.


    ---- Sigrid watched his hand fall to the ground, suffocated by helplessness and pain.


    Ss had absorbed all of Renatas poison to save her, overloading his body to give her a chance.


    This was all that damn Selenias fault! Family or not, shed never forgive her! Sheid Ss down gently and turned toward the arguing pair.


    A man was dying because of them, and they were talking about love in her facethey were despicable! "Save him!" she shouted, shoving Alessandre aside and grabbing Renata by the cor of her blouse.


    "save him right now, you bastard, or believe me, you have no future! I dont care about anythingif you let him die...


    wont leave until I rip your head off!"" She screamed in rage, tears, rain, and spit sttering across Renatas serious face.


    "What the hell is wrong with you, Electra?! Let her go!" Alessandre tried to intervene.


    "Wait, Alessandre, dont get involved." Renata extended her hand, stopping him, staring deeply into ''Electras'' eyes.


    "Tll do it.


    Ill save him.


    Lets not waste more time." Before Sigrid could threaten her again, genuinely ready to set ---- herself aze just to take her head, Renata made her decision.


    She tightened her grip and dragged Sigrid to where Sss dying bodyy.


    Without much ceremony, she knelt and drew out arge portion of her power, converting it into healing.


    A dark, green mist flowed from her palm, merging into Sss chest, extracting her own poison while simultaneously feeling him voraciously absorb all her ck magic.


    This elemental was special toofar too dangerous.


    Who had made him like this? Was it the one impersonating Electra? "Ss!" Sigrids soul finally returned to her body as she saw him gasp for air, pulled back from the brink of death by mere threads.
