The love that they won't take from me

'If I could! If I was just…'

'Huh? My body… How am I…? I'm… I'm a specter. Then, Mathew's words of a critical skill of ghosts must be true… A chance! I'll grow strong, I'll let the ones I care for be safe, and I certainly won't let the likes of Mathew control me ever again! But, he was able to kill Alissa so easily… Will I not just be reduced to a slave again? No! Like he said, it's because Alissa was already some kind of slave, is why she got overwhelmed so easily. That's right… I need to eat! I need to protect Artemis! No one, no one will take away the one I…love.'

As if time had slowed down, Z0a levitated on top of her own physical corpse, emerged inside her own rapid coming thoughts. While she was thinking, she looked at her astral arms in admiration and with a sense of hope…

'My powers. They're gone… Well, it is a genetic modification.' *Sigh…*
