I stared back at the clearing, seeing Thyll's unmoving body. I was still in shock. He was leaving Thyll. I was leaving Thyll. I was abandoning him.

I began screaming again, clawing at Ivonous's scales and shrieking at him to go back.

"We can't leave Thyll! What are you doing?!? We have to go back and save him!"

"M'lady, we are heavily outnumbered, we must retreat."

"So we live and Thyll dies?!? How is that fair!?!"

"They are not going to kill him immediately. They need him for their Elf Anihilation Project."

"And that's so much better, how? It just means he will be in pain before his inevitable death! We cannot leave him!"

"Think! This will give us time to rally some troops from base and rescue him. Now we must leave!"

"But-"

"We are leaving. It's what Young Master Thyllrand would want. We will come back for him. I swear."

"Thyll! We'll be back for you! I promise!!" I shouted down to him. He didn't move, still unconscious. I began sobbing, he never looked this vulnerable. It was such a polar opposite to his usually bright and bubbly personality.

I continued sobbing as Ivonous started soaring higher into the sky, away from the forest. Away from Thyll. Away from my friend, companion...lover?
