Moments after death, her body slumped. The black tentacles slowly ripping out from her back, snapping bones as it went, before halting to a stop as her silver blade penetrated the midnight tendrils, destroying the core and soul of the monster. The carcass of the monster melted away, leaving only a gooey black puddle in its wake. The body of the young warrior fell to the ground with a thud, next to her lay the silver blade, engraved on the hilt was the cursive message 'Blade of Britain, Hero to All, Lutecia is the name I take down below'.
