"I-"
*Wsssh!*
The trees shook with the wind as a piercing noise, one so high a human couldn't pick up such a sound, resounded throughout the area. However, it disappeared in an instant only to be replaced by...
"I-"
*SHHHHKK!*
...To replaced by that almost meaningless noise. Gabriel's face changed after she realized... What she could've done, what she should've prevented.
Issei stood obvious to the pain, since his body hasn't registered the pain by ultra-pain-killers. Such a powerful mechanism, the human body was. "Gabriel?" He took in her horrified look. It looked... really misplaced, and... It made him sad to see it on her face.
It reminded him too much of his last day with Irina, and her face.
"Gah..." He suddenly spat out blood, but only saw such things on TV. "Gah!" It happened again. He still didn't know why.
"I-Issei-kun, y-your..." Her façade disappeared and her older yet more elegant features were starting to replace, minus her wings and halo.
He followed her eyes down her body. "Guh!" He felt the blood wanting to rush out his throat. The painkillers be damned. The slight throbbing he felt vanished once he saw the gaping slash in his body. It made him feel faint and lightheaded. He barely recognized that he was just mindlessly watching his... red fluid... he was beginning to forget the name of the fluid? Or was it red water?
Gabriel watched him fall to his small knees, his adorable face soiled. It caused a sudden growth of blood to pour out. She began to move closer, her hands shaking as she raised them.
*Spat*

Issei couldn't see anymore. "H-Hello?" Where was he? Where was Gabriel?
[You're dying, Child. I moved you here. A child shouldn't feel such a pain, after all.]
Issei heard the voice coming from... everywhere? Even though, tears threatened to fall from his face, he spoke with an innocent voice with a hint of worry, "Is G-Gabriel o-okay?" If he was dying, did he, at least, somehow, save his new, yet nonetheless, precious friend?
Even the almighty Ddraig found it hard to speak to the child. He lied... in a good way. He could smell the energy that radiated off the girl before the senses of the boy vanished. She would be safe no matter what happened. [She is safe, no need to worry, Child.]
He let his tears fall as he fell to his knees. "That's a relief..." He moved his lower arm to his face and began to wipe away at his non-stop flow of tears. "B-b-but... I w-want to s-see O-Okaa a-a-and O-Otou."
"I w-want t-them to p-please be h-h-happy... a-and d-don't b-be s-sad... I-I w-w-want to say g-g-goodbye a-a-and t-thank you! Uuuuuu!"
Ddraig grunted quietly within the shadows. He wondered when was the last time he saw such a death or the death of a child? Ddraig only regretted being awoken. He didn't need to see all that. He didn't need to hear all that
He definitely didn't need to lose a tear that drip down his metaphysical face.
He was a heavenly dragon, dammit.
He certainly didn't feel like one...

"...What?!" Wasn't the small girl, a small girl?! ...Whatever it didn't matter, she would kill her too. She was just a normal human... though she faintly reminded her of a certain someone... a lot.
