Eternity, Part Nine

{Mel}

Back at the fight against Kate, Mel, Zura, and Athene had her cornered. Kate's eyes darted around, looking for an escape. Her movements were quick, but she was tiring, her breath coming in ragged gasps.

Kate tried to slip away, but Athene sprinted forward, cutting her off. Athene's sword and shield were raised, her stance unyielding.

Kate, wounded and bleeding, spat out some blood, a defiant look in her eyes.

"You think this will stop Vy? Even if I die, even if Vy dies, we'll still win."

Mel watched, her hands ready to cast another spell if needed. She could see the resolve in Kate's eyes, but it was clear Kate was weakening.

Athene's expression remained stern, her focus unwavering.

"Enough talk."

She activated {Judicator's Judgment}, her sword glowing with a righteous light. With one final, swift slash, Athene ended Kate's struggle.
