Hellbound With You (WN)

It was not just Lilith who was shocked at what was happening. Everyone who was looking at Zeke ’s action was rooted to the spot as well, eyes rounded and mouths agape. The moment the sword was pulled out from Alicia ’s body, silvery particles began to appear from her wound as if her blood were turning into silvery dust motes. And they seem to be floating about, twirling around her in the air, as if unsure where they should go.

Everything seemed to have come to a standstill as they absorbed what was happening before their very eyes. However, Lilith ’s reaction seemed somewhat different from the others. She had her eyes wide opened as though she was witnessing something totally unbelievable. From her body language, it seemed as if she was extremely agitated. However, one could not tell if that agitation stemmed from being overly stressed and worried or being excessively excited.

The silver particles then slowly began to spread out as if to surround itself all around Alicia ’s body. And to the onlooker ’s surprise, Alicia ’s hair which was now dark began to turn silver again, little by little. As they looked on, it was getting more obvious that more and more strands of darkened locks were miraculously turning silvery white. Even Zeres who was deep in his anguish froze as he too, noticed this little bit of aberration occurring on the body of the woman in his arms and causing him to put aside his agony for a moment. His eyes were desperately hanging onto the figure of Alicia, wondering what on earth was happening to her.

Everyone could not help but hold their breaths. Could it be that something bad was happening even to her already lifeless and still form? Or perhaps, a miracle was going to happen? Was she going to come back from the dead?

Hope shone in their eyes as their gazes trained desperately on Alicia and the silvery particles that were circling about her. Perhaps, something they were not aware about had happened and now she would be returned to them, all hearty and hale. Or perhaps, the gods had heard Zeres ’ cries and have sympathized with him?

None of them made a single sound nor moved a muscle. They simply stood there attentively watching and patiently waiting for what was going to happen next. Hoping against all hopes that she would be given another chance and wake up.
