The man stood, hesitating. Her tears were an undoing of sorts. He had broken her in spirit, as his own had been broken by the need for power. He disgraced her the way he disgraced himself along the way, and now she was broken. "You will be spared. You are no challenge to me." He also couldn't kill. He didn't have it in him. As much as he wanted to finish what he started, he couldn't.
He waved his wand over her arm, uttering a spell that would cool it. The mark remained, but the pain would recede. "Never forget to fight. You have to earn your jewels like you have to earn this sword. Consider this sword my gift."
