*Sigh

"I can't keep them locked, my only option is to kill them, but can I really kill them? do they want to die? do they want to end this immortal life which only brings them vanity?"

Nikol questioned himself. He clenched his fists, his conflicted emotions swirling within him like a storm. "I can't bear the thought of losing either of you," he murmured, his voice barely audible. "But I also can't stand idly by as the world falls into chaos."
