Alari was forced back to reality seeing Hotaru move, immediately seeing the change. He stood up wanting to stop her, he needed answers, he needed to know why Kaori had done all of this, he wasn't about to let him die without answers to every single one of his questions. He reacted to late however and Murio made no attempt to move out of the way. His hand reached into his kimono and he pulled the flower out as he noticed Sybil get closer to him, but when Mary's voice echoed in his mind his eyes widened and perhaps for the first time since he had taken this form a small smile formed on Murio's face.
"Strong as always...no wonder I fell in love with you."
The claws pierced his chest and his body fell back as blood spurted out of his mouth, he shut his eyes as he felt the life slowly leave his body, waiting for death to full embrace him. However before he could sleep into endless dark slumber his body was pulled back by an unknown force and he hit the ground, in the next moment seven silver swords fell from the sky and stabbed into his torso causing his eyes to widen as immense pain filled his being.
"Sorry to finish off your kill."
A low feminine voice echoed through the field but no presence showed itself, Alari could sense someone nearby though and he knew that voice, it was one of the commanders, a nasty one at that.
"Murio died as a traitor just what he deserves. Guess this means you lose Alari Wisdom...leave the rest to us."
In the next moment the presence faded and the swords disappeared, Alari looked down at Murio's body and to his surprise saw a faint smile on his face, but he pushed that aside turning to check on Hotaru since Sybil took control.
This was extremely bad, Larel was dead and Sybil was out in Hotaru's body of all things, he didn't like where this was going.

"Kaori!"
Alari's eyes widened as a force slammed into the field, throwing up petals in the process until they surrounded the young man whose attention immediately moved to the body of Murio. His eyes let off a bright glow as he grit his teeth seeing the scene before him.
"...L-Larel!"
Larel stood in the field a purple glow surrounding his body, his head still somehow attached to his shoulders, Alari felt an immense amount of relief fill him but it was quickly replaced with confusion as Larel ran over to the body.
"Damn it," Larel said reaching his hand forward. "I got here too late."
"Larel...how are you still alive? Murio didn't kill you?"
"Kaori just tied me up and hid me nearby with some weird magic. Told me he was going to fake my death to save me...said he needed to do something to fix the mess he caused...that idiot told me his punishment would be his death at the hands of a friend. I told him he didn't need to go that far but he told me why he needed to do it, he said it was necessary to save me from his actions, guess that Kabuki theater really did pay off..."
Larel knelt down and picked Mary's flower up which by some miracle had survived being harmed by the amount of torment his body had endured, almost as if he had protected it.
"He told me to apologize to Mary and give her flower back too," Larel said before his gaze moved over to Hotaru taking note of Sybil's control, he flexed his free hand causing black darkness to circle around his hand. "You got some horrible timing, and I'm in no mood for you, go away Sybil."
Kaori's body burst into small bits of yellow energy filling the area with a small glow as all evidence of his existence faded from the world, but at Mary's request he didn't erase himself from the minds of his fellow companions, though his name among other things left the world leaving only a blank spot where his name once was.
Alari could feel it, Murio's body was gone, if it wasn't for the memories in his own head he wouldn't believe a body was ever here...what a sad existence, what a horrible power, these thoughts ran through his head as he stared where his body used to be.
