Chapter 115: The Snow Lion
Annalise felt her heart shattering as the realization of her failure dawned over her... she failed to save the snow beast and now it had lost its life, an innocent soul that first lost itself to the dark energy, and now it had lost to death.
Tears rolled down her eyes as she felt her powers crying along with her soul at the loss. She was supposed to save it, all those poor creatures out there needed to be saved, but she was too late to do that.
She felt her husbands moving around her before she felt their arms wrapping around her shaking body. Their warmth enveloped her cold soul but it didn’t take away the pain. She felt it at that point, the need in her powers to save the innocent creatures out there but because she had failed to do for the snow beast, her powers were at a loss.
"Little bird, you did try your best. If anyone is responsible for its death then it’s us, we only cared about killing it at that moment and didn’t even try to think that it’s just an innocent beast taken over by dark energy." Kenric tried to comfort her but even his words didn’t seem to help much with her pain.
She felt a soft tug on her powers but didn’t pay any attention to it, she just rested her head against Damien’s shoulder and let the tears roll down her cheeks.
"Annalise, look at this..." There was an urgency in Valerius’ voice as he shook her hand to pull her attention to whatever he wanted her to see and even though she didn’t want to, she still opened her eyes and followed the direction he was pointing at.
As soon as she realized what he was showing her, she immediately straightened up and watched along with all her husbands as the miracle took place in front of their very eyes.
The snow beast was covered in bright silver light and its size was growing smaller and smaller with each passing second. When the light finally disappeared after a couple of long moments, the four and a half feet tall snow beast had already turned into a baby that was merely the size of both her palms combined. Its majestic wings had also turned smaller and its body was rising and falling with every breath it was inhaling and exhaling.
"Is... Is it alive?" She asked with pure surprise even though the answer was pretty obvious considering the snow beast was now breathing even if it hadn’t opened its eyes yet.
