Heathcliff woke up, abandoned in an empty cave.
The moment he got to his feet, a light flashed on one of the walls and a distorted image appeared on it, showing the face of Duchess.
Of the Rani.
"Mistress!" Heathcliff said suddenly, saluting.
"You betrayed my trust, boy," she snapped.
"W-what?" Heathcliff cried. "I did no such thing! I would never! You are the one responsible for bringing me back. I owe you everything!"
"And I will be the one responsible for ending it, too. I saw you transport with Captain Jack and the others. Trying to escape, hmm?"
"No! Duchess, please! I was trying to spy on them, f-f-for you!"
"I don't believe you," she muttered.
With a click of her fingers, an Enallion appeared in the cave with a gun in its claw.
"NO! Duchess! I'm begging you please don't kill me!"
"This Enallion is going to kill you, okay? It's going to shoot you and while you regenerate, it's going to shoot you again. You will die today, Heathcliff, and you've got nobody to blame besides yourself."
"No," Heathcliff cried. "Please!"
He hadn't time to beg any longer as the first shot sounded and struck him through the heart. Moments later, golden energy started to overwhelm his body.
"Aghhh!"
And the last thing he saw in that form's eyes was the gun pointing directly at him, ready to shoot him once again in that moment...
