"Marcus! Help Isabella, leave right now," I scream at Marcus, my voice filled with urgency and desperation. The battle rages around us, but my focus is solely on Isabella, lying wounded on the ground.

Marcus hesitates, his eyes filled with concern and uncertainty. He questions me, his voice strained, "But if I leave now, you're going to be defending the side alone. Are you sure?"

I look at Marcus, my heart pounding in my chest. I know the risks, but Isabella's life hangs in the balance. I can't bear the thought of losing her, not after everything we've been through. "Leave now, Marcus! We are running out of time to help Isabella," I plead, my voice filled with desperation.

Marcus looks at me, his expression torn between duty and concern. He takes a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination. "Wait for me, Cyran. I promise I will come back real quick," he says, his voice filled with conviction.

I nod, my heart filled with gratitude and hope. "Hurry, Marcus. Isabella needs you," I say, my voice barely above a whisper.

With one last look, Marcus turns and rushes towards Isabella's side. I watch as he kneels beside her, his hands moving swiftly to tend to her wounds. The chaos of battle surrounds them, but in that moment, they are the only two people in the world.

As I watch Marcus and Isabella, a surge of determination fills me. I can't let them down. I can't let Gem Castle fall. With renewed strength, I charge back into the battle, my sword raised high.

The enemy forces are relentless, but I fight with a fierce determination. Every swing of my sword is fueled by the love and loyalty I feel towards Isabella and Gem Castle. I will not let them down.

Time seems to blur as the battle rages on. The clash of swords, the cries of pain, and the thundering of footsteps fill the air. But through it all, I keep my focus on Isabella and Marcus, praying for their safety.

Finally, after what feels like an eternity, the enemy forces begin to retreat. The battle is won, but the cost has been high. Gem Castle is scarred, and many lives have been lost. But Isabella and Marcus are alive, and that is what matters most to me.

As the dust settles, I make my way back to Isabella's side. Marcus stands beside her, his face etched with exhaustion and relief. Isabella's eyes flutter open, and a weak smile graces her lips.

"Thank you, Cyran," she whispers, her voice filled with gratitude.

I take her hand in mine, my heart overflowing with emotion. "You're safe now, Isabella. That's all that matters," I say, my voice filled with love and relief.

Isabella's eyes meet Marcus's, and they share a silent understanding. They have faced death together, and their bond has only grown stronger. I watch as they exchange a look filled with love and determination, knowing that they will face whatever challenges lie ahead, together.

As Gem Castle begins to rebuild, I know that our journey is far from over. But with Marcus by my side, I am filled with hope. Together, we will protect Gem Castle, and ensure that Isabella's sacrifice was not in vain.
