The hole is now almost up to her shoulder. And now that the sword is gone, Friedrich cannot slice through her arm to free her. Maybe he has a dagger...
Just as she is about to ask after another weapon, her guard begins to pull at her other arm. "I've got you, Princess. This beast will not eat you alive!"
She's not too sure about that, anymore. She watches with increasing dejection as the darkness envelopes her whole shoulder and begins to lick at the length of her body and neck. It's a terrible thing to laugh at a time like this, but it really tickles.
"What is going on in here?!" The voice of her father echoes around the shadowed room, overtaking her laughing fit. "Erza, what's happened?! Friedrich, what is this thing?"
Her father and the guards that Rostan went out to fetch cannot come in the room without risking the hole. Still, a few of the newer soldiers race impulsively into the darkness to avenge the loss of her arm. They never reappear, even as their comrades call out for their return.
"It's an impenetrable mass, Your Majesty," Friedrich cries, still pulling at Erza's other arm. But there is not a single budge. "It takes and doesn't give back!"
"Father," she says, voice cracking as she forces another giggle down, "I think this must be farewell. This end doesn't seem too bad, actually; I don't feel any pain. It may be a bit sudden, but—"
Her father cuts her off, sounding more frustrated with her than worried. "Erza Faverin, this is not the time for your jokes. Be serious, you are about to be taken from this world!"
Inappropriately, she chuckles again as the shadows creep around her sensitive stomach. A portion of her jaw is even lost to the blackness, now, giving her some difficulty with speaking.
"Well, if you do not want any jokes," she huffs, "then I will be silent."
And with perfect timing, the mass covers her mouth like a soft mask.
"I will find you, Erza," her father vows, standing tall as he instructs his guards to go searching for nearby witches or sorcerers. "We will seek justice for this treason. This magic will not go unpunished. Go. Go and I will find you and your mother on the Other Side."
No heartbroken farewells, no tears for lost family. Such is not the way of her people. Instead, she only feels happiness to be in the company of so many to see her off. Better than going to the Other Side in her sleep or alone in the forest somewhere.
Taking charge of her own fate, she simply pushes off her bare foot and disappears completely into the still black void.
ERZA FAVERIN V.

NOTES ;
DID I SAY I WAS GOING TO POST A CASSIAN FIC? NO? WELL, I DID IT ANYWAY.
ERZA'S STORY HAS BEEN ONE I'VE BEEN THROWING AROUND QUITE A BIT, AND SHE WAS KIND OF BEGGING TO BE WRITTEN.
THIS FIRST LITTLE LOOK INTO HER CHARACTER IS A BIT...MUCH, I'LL ADMIT. FIRST OFF, HER WORLD AND HER...SPECIES ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE USUAL, WE'LL SEE MORE ON THAT LATER ON, I PROMISE. AND ERZA IS VERY MUCH NOT YOUR TYPICAL HEROINE. SHE'S A LITTLE SILLY, A LITTLE NONCHALANT ABOUT EVERYTHING, AND EVEN KIND OF LOOPY. I'VE DRAWN A LOT OF INSPIRATION FROM LUNA LOVEGOOD FROM THE HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE. NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE A LITTLE MORE INVOLVED WITH HER THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS AND STORY. AND HOPEFULLY IT'LL MAKE A LITTLE MORE SENSE
ANYWAYS, IF YOU HAVE SOME THEORIES ABOUT HER STORY ALREADY, I AM SO EAGER TO HEAR THEM. ERZA IS QUITE SPECIAL...IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. AND SHE WILL BE VERY SPECIAL TO CASSIAN.
IF ERZA IS NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA, THEN I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. BUT I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HER CHARACTER SO SHE'S STAYING. IF YOU PREFER A STRONGER, MORE CONVENTIONAL MAIN CHARACTER, GO CHECK OUT MY AZRIEL FIC. IF YOU'VE ALREADY READ THAT, THEN...GO OUT AND FIND SOME OTHER FANFICTIONS IDK.
OR YOU CAN WAIT FOR MY LUCIEN FIC TO COME OUT ;) THAT MC WILL BE A TOTAL 180 FROM LITTLE ERZA
I HAVE ALSO CREATED A PLAYLIST ON SPOTIFY FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT. LINK: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/207DeQ3vJIntLqagFVcjYy?si=bO7jrg7bT0aWTmK3yq9lvQ&dl_branch=1
