The room fell into an eerie silence, broken only by the mother's heart-wrenching sobs. The dark king held the lifeless girl in his arms, her frail form an unsettling reminder of the terrible power his blood possessed. As the moments passed, the girl's pale skin began to regain a touch of color, and her breathing, though shallow, became steadier.
The ominous aura that had hung over the chamber began to dissipate, replaced by an almost imperceptible sense of hope. Dysis, the griffin, let out a mournful cry, but it was different this time—filled with relief. She had sensed the transformation taking place within the child. The dark king carefully handed the girl back to her mother, who cradled her daughter with a mix of wonder and gratitude. Tears flowed freely from her eyes, but this time, they were tears of hope and redemption.
" I... I don't understand," the mother stammered. "Her color, her breathing... she's alive! How can this be?"
The dark king looked at the girl, his azure eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.
"My blood is both a curse and a blessing," he explained, his voice softer than before. "It can inflict great suffering, but in rare instances, it can also bring about miraculous transformations. Your daughter is one of the fortunate ones."
The mother hugged her daughter tightly, whispering words of love and gratitude. Dysis, the griffin, let out a contented purr, her wings folding gracefully by her side. As the dark king watched the reunion between mother and child, he couldn't help but wonder about the girl's future. His blood had spared her from death, but it had also bound her to a destiny she might not yet comprehend.
