Just as she thought, it was her end, and now finally she could no longer open her eyes.
When all the hope has died down. Suddenly, she felt her stiff body was returning to its normal state. She could feel the energy that had left her returning back again slowly.
From within her soul realm, the shadows began to rise.
They emerged slowly like wisps of dark energy unraveling from her spirit, moving like smoke and mist, curling around her body protectively. One by one, they dissolved back into her, pushing warmth into her frozen veins. A rush of life swept through her chest—powerful, but fleeting. Aeris knew what it meant.
Her shadows… were sacrificing themselves.
They were giving up their essence to keep her alive, just for a few more minutes.
Her time was slipping.
She held her baby tighter, and her heart ached. She didn't have time to think. She had only one purpose now: to make sure her child was safe.
Her mind raced.
