When the light finally cleared…
Most of the ground and everything within several hundred meters of it was gone entirely now.
And at the center of a massive scorched crater lay two figures…
Astaroth's body rested limply across Asmodai's legs as he cradled her gently. Her skin was covered in burns and her breathing shallow…
She laughed weakly, it sounded broken and mixed with tears as her life began slipping away…
"We… almost had him…" she whispered hoarsely between labored breaths.
Asmodai said nothing. His own body was covered in scorched burns as well and tears welled up in his eyes as he held his twin sister close.
"You stupid girl" he said, then smiled a bit.
Her hand reached up weakly to touch his face one last time, then it fell and her body starts disintegrating into floating dust.
Asmodai closed his eyes tightly as grief tore through him immensely. He may not have shown it so much but his twin was the only one he did actually care about.
