“No,” Lilith begged, holding Adam in one arm while reaching out to the potion with the other. She had been so close, but Zelda held it just out of her reach, snatched out of her hands before she could feed Adam the fatal tonic. And Lilith wasn’t sure she’d have the strength to go through with it if she was delayed any longer, if Zelda didn’t give her the poison now.....it was hard enough to rally herself this far and the longer the poison was out of reach, the more she was delayed, the more she felt she couldn’t do it. But she had to, she had to keep him from the Dark Lord.
“I can’t keep running, Sister Zelda. He’ll always find me, always....this is the only way to keep Adam from him. I need to free my son and free myself; it’s the only way, don’t you understand? We’ll never be free, never” She implored Zelda to give her back the potion, to let it be done. “He’s given me just six hours with Adam and then he’s coming to take him, to make him suffer, he’ll...he’ll do everything he did to me, everything he did to make me ‘worthy’ he’ll do to make Adam ‘tough’” There were tears pouring down her cheeks even though Lilith wasn’t aware she’d even begun to cry, “Please, it’s the only way. I’d rather him dead than raised by him...and then he’ll kill me too. We’ll both be free. But not if you don’t give me back that potion. Please”
