    Summary

    Heinrix fights not only for Isha's life but also with his crippling guilt. Deep in the night, at Isha's sickbed, he confesses to sentiments he otherwise keeps hidden deep in the recesses of his mind. Beside him, Jae struggles with her own grief - a life taken from her, a damaged friendship, a shattered faith.

     

    "Isha had no more life left to give.

    Heinrix stood amidst the vast destruction Commorragh had wrought upon her body and wept. As the first tears dripped down his cheek, he gathered the scattered petals and affixed them to the stem, as if repairing the rose might undo the damage inflicted upon her. Time after time, he came away empty-handed. In his despair, he reached a bloodied hand towards her heart, pouring all of himself into her. All his love. All his life. Everything he was and everything he could be. Beyond the pain paralysing him, he found a plea and wrote it into the essence of her being – Let this not be the end but a beginning – followed by a more desperate – Fight, Isha, fight! – and a final whisper – I love you."
