Aspen Invidia's death

The battle ensued between the Wayfinder and the Riftmancer. Two opposing forces clashing between swords and staff. The gravitational forces of Nakiri had warped around her ethereal warriors amongst the field, diminishing them into nothingness and lowering the Invidia's forces that hazed the field with her blood and ice.

But yet, even after consuming that of which empowered her senses, yet lowered her defenses, the Ghoul found herself being thrashed around, pushed back, and dodged all over.

Within battle, she was sustaining more damage. More. More. And too much more. It was exhilarating! Every passing second the adversary's abilities stuck at Aspen relentlessly, it filled her soul with more fuel.

She'd finally found someone worthy to fight again.

Not that of the Ixis clan. Not the Luxata's, but Nakiri Reiha, and as Aspen skids across the ground, her silhouette follows in suit, swirling around her body along the ground in what appears to be a defensive stance.

Despite the powers of the other woman taking a toll on body, Aspen's now inability to control direction finds her laid back against the ground in that instant.

It was as if the world grew silent in the wake of the emerald hues that flashed above, and every force of her body was plunged within the ground before she could muster up the ability to find herself standing again.

'Forgive me.. Malentine.. and Runa.. for not returning.. your blanke-'

But before Aspen was able to finish the final thoughts that came forth in her mind, her body had been crushed under the weighing forces of Nakiri's magic.

Huangzhou had, in truth, been her place of death.
