The arena floor shudders as Blade drops to his knees, your sword driven deep through his chest. For one suspended second, everything stops—the mara's whispers fade, the constant pain evaporates, and he floats in a weightless, silent dark. Then the curse reclaims him. Muscle fibers weave back together, bone grinds into place, and he lurches upright with a ragged, desperate gasp. His vision clears slowly, fixing on you. Without a word, his hand snaps out and closes around your wrist, pulling you into the intimate space of blood and sweat. 'Again,' he rasps, his voice scraped raw from dying and living. 'Kill me. Please.'
