Despite the dizziness brought by exhaustion, once Stormis' dark powers had fully dissipated and he collapsed onto the ground, marking the success of her skill, she ran toward him without considering her own well-being.
She used a large portion of her remaining strength to run and spent another portion to scream out his name, the care of a mother strongly hinted in her voice.
Marlon was nearby.
He gave the mother and son duo some space and simply watched.
"Mom…"
Stormis muttered, his voice lacking both his usual cheerfulness and the fragmented echoes that often accompanied him, leaving only a weak tone fitting his age.
He lifted his hands weakly and gently caressed the face of his lovely mother as the dizziness slowly caught up to him.
Mrs. Victoria held his hands against her face, a relieved smile appearing as she softly asked him to sleep.
The trust and love between the two allowed Stormis to fall asleep quickly.
Only then did Marlon step closer.
