The night is spent yearning for him, even if the fire consumes her. Would she be able to solve the mystery between her dreams and reality? What if she would do when her dream started to collide with her reality?
Azrael burns whenever he refuses to take her; it is losing her to the Realm of Light. To never see her again or this. He can't take her and cannot lose her, but time is running out if he doesn't take her to the Realm of Light.
The Shadow King would take her, and she would forever lose her existence.
What would he do? Take her? Leave her? Lose her?
