192 The Bitter Revelation

Rowena's eyes quickly darted towards the heart of the Kraken, though her eyes trembled at the sight of the man in a cocoon.

His body was pale and weak, wrapped tightly in the tendrils that threatened to snuff out his life.

Her heart clenched at the sight of Asher, a fierce surge of emotion welling up within her. Though she was used to keeping her emotions in check, in that moment, they overwhelmed her.

"Asher!" she cried out, her voice laced with a mix of horror and determination. 

Without a moment's hesitation, she dove down from her position above the torn-open flesh, her wings cutting through the air as she descended with terrifying speed. The world around her seemed to blur and fade away, her focus solely on reaching him before it was too late

Her face was a mask of cold fury, a fierce determination to save the man she couldn't bear to lose, radiating from her very being.
