Suddenly Archer was beside me and Luc was near Beth. We were backing up, but I didn't feel my feet moving of my muscles working. My eyes were trained on Daemon until the others of his kind swallowed his light. Fear coated the inside of my mouth and turned the blood into slush in my veins. In that instant I couldn't help but think of what Dasher had said about what would happen when the Luxen came – and whether Daemon would stand with his own kind or with mine. I wasn't sure Daemon even had a choice. I wasn't sure I did, either.

In a moment of sheer terror, the protagonist finds themselves frozen in fear as Daemon, a powerful entity, is engulfed by others of his kind. Despite being surrounded by allies, the character feels an overwhelming sense of dread and uncertainty. As they instinctively back away, they grapple with the chilling realization that Daemon's true allegiance might not be clear, raising questions about loyalty and survival.

This unsettling situation is compounded by haunting thoughts about a prior warning concerning the Luxen's arrival. The character not only fears for Daemon's choices but also contemplates their own lack of agency in this overwhelming scenario. The dynamic raises critical themes about identity, belonging, and the struggle against fate in a world fraught with impending danger.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
