It happened so fast that no one knew how to react.
One minute, Sylus was standing next to them, about to head out, and the next he was falling into the dark pit, a spear pierced through his chest.
"Prince Sylus!"
Zani was the first to act, instinctively jumping into the pit as well.
It seemed like she was going to catch up, her hands stretched forward, trying to catch him.
But the deeper they fell, the further apart she was from him.
She was visibly upset, her eyes twitching, fighting off the urge to cry.
"Sylus!"
Her voice rang out, begging for her prince to open his eyes and hold on to her.
An action that never happened.
Further and further, Sylus was slipping away from her, plunging even deeper into the darkness.
"Sylusss!"
Her voice clung to hope, hope that was shattering with time.
And then, like that, they both fell, consumed by the unknown darkness.
…
'Uhn… did I get... stabbed?'
