There was no doubt within her mind that in the history of the spoken word, no three words had even meant so much to someone. Breathed from his lips like a prayer, they brought tears to her eyes and as he curled her into his chest, she wrapped her arms around him and held on for dear life. She had never imagined finding something so precious in such a wasteland... but she had, and Thalia be damned, she wasn't going to let it go, not for anything. She loved him, and if it meant running and hiding for the rest of their natural lives, she could handle that, so long as Thalion was by her side.
Gregian's voice split across her thoughts and pulling away, Minette turned to find a particularly strange sight, her gaze moving from the duke to the orb he clutched in his hand with curiosity, "What are you..."
But before she could finish, the orb was tossed, hurled to the ground, shattering into splinters in the grass. She felt it. She felt it shatter, somewhere deep inside of her and she knew... before reality set in, before anything had happened, she knew what he had done. Spinning on her heels, she watched as, too late, Thalion crumpled to the ground and as a wave of panic washed over her, she dropped to her knees, clutching his arm.
"No... no, no, no... Thal!? Oh God... no..." Wide-eyes twisted to Gregian, horrified, "What did you do??!"
But she knew.
And within seconds, the creature... that horrible, wicked woman returned to confirm the living nightmare. Gripping her chest, which felt as though it might explode into shards as the orb had, she turned back to Thalion and shook him, gently at first, then harder, too hard, and to no avail, "Get up! Get up! Don't you do this! Don't you dare! Thal, please... please don't leave me. Please don't go..."
Her head dropped to his chest, but there was no comfort in the empty, hollow sound. He was gone. He was gone, and soon they all would be.
Straightening, swiping one hand across her cheeks, brushing tears away with venomous fury, she reached with her other hand for Thalion's sword and tearing it free from the sheath, rose to her feet, swinging it in Gregian's direction, "...Why?... Before I end you, you tell me why you did this!"
