"Gilgamesh, no!"
My final plea left my lips too late, the comprehension of the act left me paralyzed as I stared at the graphic scene playing before my eyes. As if in slow motion, he plunged his hand through her chest and took what he wanted, not a care for anything or anyone else. The little girl couldn't even scream as he ripped out her heart.
Shirou crashed through the balcony, unwilling to process the fights conclusion, he challenged the Demi-god and was met with mocking response.
I felt my body become limp, knowing in my heart there was nothing left that I could do to help her. She'd left this world, along with her servant and caretakers.
The Chains of Heaven relaxed, and I was left with overwhelming grief for the life of a child.
