Even he had died?
"Why do you look so surprised?"
Schierke's voice came from beside me.
I turned toward her and found her smiling at me.
It was a playful smile, one I had never seen on her face before.
"Don't impose your own logic on everyone else. Not everyone is an anomaly like you."
I turned fully toward her with a frown.
"What exactly is that supposed to mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean."
She answered while walking leisurely toward Jackson.
"Ask yourself one simple question…"
Schierke stopped beside the fallen old hunter.
"Would this battle have ended the same way if Ethan Heart had been here?"
She began using her magic to heal Jackson while Luna did the same for Moon.
For some reason, her question lingered in my mind.
What would have changed if I had fought here alongside Jackson and Moon?
Could I have changed the outcome?
I was far weaker than Jackson.
But strength wasn't everything.
I knew that better than most.
