Daniel started to freak out. “What fire? What’s wrong?”

"The.... the memories are back...." Rex whispered vehemently, shuddering.

Helda was waiting for him anxiously, and he could see a large man holding axe.

This time, Tayen did not look at her. He felt weak, useless. He was limp as they tied him down, only momentarily screaming and going tense when he felt a particularly intense stab of pain.

Daniel put an arm around her, trying to calm her. “You’re stronger than them.”

 Helda began to cry softly as the executioner raised his axe.

Does the leader want to say anything?

"Am I, though? I lost them for a reason..." Rex drew her knees up to her chest, curling into a little ball in his arms.

He held her tight. “You can be. I know you can.”

"How do you know? I'd be better off dead, than with all these horrible things inside..."

The man sneered at Helda. "Don't think I'm forgetting you. Just let this be a lesson. While your friend here is more resilient than I'd expect, no one is invincible. And any who defy me will pay a price."

The axe dropped.

Helda shuddered, then screamed as Tayen’s head separated from his body. She ran out of the small building, as far and fast as she could.

"But they do control me!" Rex wailed, "There's nothing I can do!"

Tayen's body was dead, and he entered Limbo. Naturally, the pain remained, and it was harder to avoid. He did nothing.

“Rex,” Daniel said pleadingly. “I need you. I need you to be strong. I know you are.”

 Helda stood in the forest again. She had to find Tayen. He would be in limbo, he should be. But…if she left would she be able to come back? Did it matter? Without Tayen she was nothing. She left her body and entered limbo.

"... I don't know if I can be!" Rex didn't look at him, sobbing into the front of his shirt instead.

Tayen lived the the pain, letting it eat at him until he truly wished he could die. He lost all sense of himself, felt his mind begin to slip away...

He pulled her tight against him. “What if I help you?”

 Helda grabbed him, pulling him to her. She merged with him for a moment, reminding him of who he was, of why he was needed, of how he was loved.

"How would you do that? Aren't you as broken as I am?"

She merged with an empty shell, devoid of anything but pain. It did not seem to understand.

“That’s why we need each other. We can help each other.” Or I’ll help you enough, then leave before that would break you again.

 She screamed in agony, knowing what Tayen had become. He was nearly a shade. She cried out, trying to reach him.

Tayen's form began to blur and flicker.

She tried again, tearing apart her own spirit in her attempt to bring him back.

I haven’t really defined the rules of limbo, but probably not. That’s why she’s trying so hard to bring him back before that happens.

Helda heard the faintest whisper. ...Failed her. I loved her, and I failed her.

You didn’t fail me. I’m right here, just come back!
