Lorenzo’s hold is like an iron curtain, blocking out the world.

Alaric reaches for his throat, his coughs echoing through the air. The chains clink against the wall as he strains. He glances in your direction, his features contorted in a plea for help.

But you both know the truth of the situation:

It’s you or him.

He takes a deep, shuddering breath as his spirit fades away…

A sense of dread floods your body, and your fists instinctively tighten. You remember the feeling of despair the burned village evoked.

So much killing.

“What?” Lorenzo asks.

“Was that necessary?”
