Chapter: Serafin's Death/Disappearance
"Serafin!" Three's (Kitealla) stomach dropped at the sound of Twelve's (Sage) distressed voice. She quickly ran in her direction, spotting her in a clearing. Three reached Twelve and grabbed her around the waist, pulling her protectively against herself. Three followed Twelve's intense gaze, freezing at the sight of the bloody mess on the ground in front of them.
Three dropped her grip on the girl, slowly moving forward and gingerly picking up Serafin's sword, untouched by the mess.
Suddenly, a piercing scream easily recognized by Three and Twelve as their captain's rang out. Twelve stood frozen, Kinder, just now being noticed by Three, trembled from where she stood off to the side of the clearing.
"Serafin!" Sage burst, finally able to react. Kinder ran up from behind Sage and clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Three, no matter what Twelve says, that's the monster, and our captain is dead." Kinder confirmed what Kitealla had painfully known was true as Twelve wriggled wildly beneath her grasp. "Three, we have to go. She's dead." Three nodded, grabbing Twelve and signaling for them to leave. Kinder leapt into the air, and Three grasped the emotional woman tightly, giving her an apologetic peck on the forehead before following Kinder's lead.
"I'm sorry, love." Kitealla whispered as Twelve began to sob.
