Octavia's eyes had softened when Lucius had dropped the sword and smiled softly. For a moment, the conflict had seemed to be over. "Thank you for sparing him... And for coming for me." She had whispered softly. 

However, the tender moment had quickly disappeared. All time had seemed to stop as all Octavia could only watch as a giant beast came up from behind him and smashed him into a tree. "No... No, no, no, no, no, NO, NO! Lucius!" She screamed in horror as she rose to her feet. This isn't what she wanted! She just wanted the fighting to end, she didn't want to see Lucius become something he'd regret! She didn't want to see anymore people getting hurt! This was all of her fault. If she had just ran when she had the chance instead of coming back to help the witch, then none of this would have happened. If she had never existing to begin with then this would have never happened. Nobody would have to get hurt! 

Before she could run to Lucius, however, Octavia was stopped by the witch. She offered a potion that could replenish her magic and, more importantly, give her the strength and time to help Lucius. Octavia didn't hesitate to check if it was poison, she was a goner either way. She downed half of the potion and gave the other half to the demon at her feet, immediately feeling it's effects. A second wind washed over her. The pain had subsided and she felt a new strength arise in her chest. She exhaled then grinned to the witch. "Octavia. My name is Octavia. Thank you. I promise I will repay what you have done. Should I survive this, that is!" She replied to the witch with a slight laugh.

Octavia rose to her feet again and drew her dagger. "STOP! STOP HURTING PEOPLE! " She screamed at the beast as she ran and dug her dagger into its mid back. She was doing a fools errand. One more hit and she was done. She wouldn't be waking up again if she was hit by the beast's claws. Octavia removed the dagger and stabbed him again and again and again, until she was out of breath. She removed the dagger and backed up a few feet. Hopefully, her attack had done something, or at the very least, got it's attention. She continued to back up a bit more, but not far enough to not strike it again, should it continue to advance towards Lucius. 

Octavia wept bitterly and grit her teeth at what she had done. She had not wanted anyone else to get hurt. Yet here she was, attacking some unknown creature. 

Octavia was breathing heavily. She was in no condition to fight and this was most definitely going to come back to bite her back really hard. Yet she had to try... Even if it meant she was going to die in the process.

" Keep this guy busy, understand?! " She called to the young prince as she circled around to to Lucius. She knelt down beside him and placed her hands on his chest. A warm light, this time brighter than before, glowed from her hands. The light soaked into Lucius' body and headed directly for his broken ribs and collapsed lung.  " Hold still, my great Knight. I will not let death take you from me just yet." She said to him softly and reassuringly. 

The light could be seen glowing from the inside of Lucius' chest as it healed his ribs and lung. Soon Lucius' breathing stabilized and the pain had subsided altogether in his chest. However, his leg would still be broken but at least his life was no longer in danger. "There. Now don't move, alright? Just rest. I will protect you. I promise. " She murmered to Lucius with a gentle smile as she rose to her feet, then turned to the beast.

@RiverMaiden yeah... A lot of the people she cares about are going end up hateing her. She has known this from the beginning. But she is doing this for them to protect them. If Asher were to die then the threat and the war would only grow worse for everybody. That's the main reason why she protected him. Either Lucius doesn't realize this or he hates her regardless, I don't know. But Octavia is always protecting them, whether they realize it... Or not. And as a result, it is going to cause a lot of people she cares about to hate her and want her dead.

What's worse is she wants to help Lucius but she can hardly move herself. She can't do anything but watch as her once faithful knight is killed by a monster before her very eyes.
