The Medoran Chronicles-No Hope

No Hope

I do not own these characters, give all the praise to Lynnette Noni, though I don't know why she decided to kill Niyx (;~;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Niyx knew what was about to happen. He muttered a curse under his breath and used his Meyarin speed to put himself between Aven and Alex, with no time to block Aven's powerful strike with his sword, he had no choice but to block it with his body.

A searing pain bloomed in his chest but his scream was drowned in a flash of light as he and Alex were transported by her shadow wolf.

They both arrived at the summit of Mt Paedris where they used to train daily before Alex tried to unite the races. With his body weakining by the minute, Niyx leaned his weight on Alex. She lowered him to the ground and he knew how bad his wound was when Alex tried her hardest to choke back a sob. Niyx knew he was dying and he knew that Alex couldn't save him...not this time. Despite the black dots appearing in his vision, he tried to calm Alex down as much as he could, he felt terrible for leaving her like this but he knew that the only way he would willingly die, was from protecting her.

He obeyed when Alex made him drink laendra and tried not to groan when she moved him so she could cradle his head. His mind flashed to all the jokes and fun times they both had, a stark contrast to the scene that was unfolding before his eyes.

He had suffered in prison for her...risked his life for her...protected her. The truth was that Alex had brought hope into his life, he suffered years in prison for her and he knew that if he had to die in order for Alex to live, he was fine with it. If he had the strength to do it, he would've told Alex that she was one of the best things that had happened to him. That he was lucky to have met her. That he would rather die five times over than to have not of known her. But all that came out was a hacking cough. Slowy opening his eyes, he saw Alex's tear streaked face. He hated this...the pools of tears in her usually laughing eyes, the way the hope seemed to drain out of her.

Niyx rested his hand atop Alex's and savoured the warmth. One of his hands then slowly made their way to cup her face. She pushed her cheek into his hand and tried to smile at him. His other hand went to his own face, wiping the blood and tears away from his eyes so he could have one last good look at her. He knew that this was the last time he would see Alex and his heart wrenched at the thought, but protecting her was his choice...Alex's eyes widened when she knew that he wasn't going to last much longer and Niyx felt her tears fall onto his face, her breath came out in heaving sobs.

The last thing he saw was a frantic Alex, still hoping to save him, sobbing and hopelessly using the torn cloth of her shirt to try to stop the silver blood flowing from his wound...failing to save him.
