It happened all in a panic.
Richard returned to Clion and found Amelia struggling to breathe. Her condition made him panic and his senses turned numb until Bellarine shook him and made him realize the severity of the matter.
Amelia needed him. It's about her life and death.
"Ri-Richard…it's too unbearable…" Amelia was crying, holding onto him as she felt her insides burning and her body failing to keep going.
She felt she was dying from within, a sensation that was nowhere as painful as any of those training sessions.
Richard felt his heart trembling at the sight, as he soothingly whispered, "Just a few minutes, Amelia. Please, for me and our child…please…" For someone who couldn't even see his loved one shedding a single tear, Richard was facing quite the situation.
Any opponent in the world wouldn't have been able to make Amelia cry this much, however, here, the being giving her such excruciating pain was their child, their essence.
