An Extra’s POV

Aurora was weak and powerless.

She was not the only one who found herself in such an awful predicament, however.

All of her sisters had been subjugated by the might of the Dragons. Beneath them were the several Elves—both Youngs and Elders—who watched the sight of their defeat in sheer horror and pain.

Upon noticing the many gazes that met her, she tried to summon strength to resist, but it was all useless.

'I-I can't do anything. I can't defeat him. I can't protect… I couldn't protect the High Elder.'

The last memory Aurora had of the High Elder was her impending execution. She had tried to finish her own opponent quickly so she could assist the latter, but with her situation now in such a precarious state, the fate that must have befallen their oldest was already clear.

She was most likely dead.

The very thought broke her heart. Sure, she and the Head Elder did not agree on a lot of things, and their relationship had soured over the past couple of months, but she was still her dear older sister.

Such a death had to be mourned with the whole heart.

"Hm? What's that?" As Aurora drowned in grief, she heard U'riah mutter to himself as he gazed to a somewhat far distance.

His distracted eyes seemed slightly disturbed by whatever he was staring at, and the frown on his face depicted mild confusion.

"Why is R'azak not ending that woman? No… why isn't he moving at all?"

Perhaps it was because U'riah was distracted, or because Aurora used far more energy than previously, but she was able to turn her neck in the direction that he was staring at in order to witness what disturbed him so much.
