~He gave himself up to save her~

He made the wrong choice now he had to pay the price.

√√√√√√√√

Careful little princess, careful little boy what you choose, for to consent, is to lose.

The dragon's mouth is wide, filled with bones. It reeks of death and human flesh.

With gold and diamond, he lures you in. 

He has beady pearls-flames for eyes, 

And like a sheep to the slaughter, you're served on a platter.

He never gets enough; for like a lion, he goes about seeking whom to devour—his sole desire.

So children, run, keep your concession, 

Or ye might be next. Ye have been warned.

Remember this tale...the serpent never sleeps.

The Concession

 "I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes upon you. 


By the multitude, of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade, you profaned your sanctuaries. So I brought out fire from within you; it consumed you and turned you to ashes on the earth." 


 After they had been able to stabilize Will, Hope stayed as well as two others to take care of him. 


The torment had taken a great toll on him such that he was coming in and out of consciousness. It hurt Hope a lot seeing him like that. 


The second female among them noticed her sullen expression and looked away. 


"You know something like this wouldn't have happened. Falling in love with him had been a terrible mistake on your part Hope." Hope's eyes were downcast as Mary, the second E, spoke her mind. 


She'd always been very blunt. She was her long term friend and has always been the most rational.
