Andrew placed his hand under his chin like a Detective as he was figuring out a way to save Kasturi without hurting her. The child checked his weapon if it's still active, but the dried ice seemed ran out, which makes it useless if Kasturi breaks free again. By the look of her frozen state while being tainted, it would take a while to find a way in waking the princess up.
"Hmmm..................We wait." Andrew answered with a cheerful attitude as he discarded the weapon aside and slowly walked towards the ice containing Kasturi on it, he placed his hands on the freezing ice even though he knew he doesn't have protection on his hand from frostbite. "Kasturi.....Kasturi gonna wake up soon....I know it.....Sure of it....." The little child smiled with optimism, it's like he knew his older sister figure even though they're not blood related. "Not her fault....Dainsleif did...Made her mad...And hurt lady.....But.....Kasturi say sorry soon....And then....lady and Kasturi be friends again....No more hate....Just love...I know it...." Andrew looked at the lady with a sincere smile, his optimism still hadn't fade and he was sure that Kasturi and the lady will get along like friends once more.
Slowly, the ice started to gain cracks around it, including that part where Andrew's hands being laid on the ice were.

Alpha-7 looked at the boy as he walked closer towards Kasturi. As he spoke, she couldn't help but feel for him. He seemed so full of optimism and hope, speaking of Kasturi with such kindness in his words. He seemed certain that things would work out, and that the two of them would be able to reconcile after all this. In a way, he reminded her of Delta-4, or 'Dee', as she liked to be called. It had been so long since she last laid eyes on her. As she thought back to her friend, she remembered the promise she made; the promise to find a way to fix her, to help her, to save her. The promise she failed to keep.
Just then, Alpha-7's thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of cracking in the ice. She was suddenly alert as signs of Kasturi breaking free began to show.
"Kid, get back!" Alpha-7 called out as she reached out towards the child.

Andrew backed away as Kasturi broke free, large debris of ice were scattered everywhere and the temperature began to return to its normal temperature because of the melted ice. Emerging from the ice was instead of the monstrous form of the princess, it was Kasturi as a human once more. She appeared to be exhausted from the fight between her and the lady, evidenced on how dirty she was from her face to her attire along with tear marks on it.
But despite from that, the child was glad returned to who she really is when she was consumed by Dainsleif's rage and darkness, he was so worried that Kasturi might loose it and never return to normal. "Kasturi!" Andrew ran towards his older sister figure with open arms and embraced Kasturi with a hug, his face was etched both happiness and worry at the same time. The princess returned the child's hug with one arm as she looked at the lady with a straight yet tiring face.

Alpha-7 let out a sigh of relief. It looked as though it was finally over. If she'd known all this was going to happen, she'd never have picked a fight in the first place. If that was the kind of power Kasturi had, then maybe she didn't have to worry about her as much as she thought.
She then took a couple of weary steps forward, and extended her hand.
"Truce?" Alpha-7 asked.

Andrew released Kasturi from the hug and smiled at her along with the lady from the proposed friendship, he felt excited to imagine that his older sister figure and the lady be friends.
However, Kasturi didn't seem to answer. Her stale face was unmoved as she slowly pulled out her hand behind her back, the hand of where Dainsleif was held. To the child's shock, Dainsleif was still active despite Kasturi not being tainted with the Curse Sword's darkness anymore. The sword may appear to weaken, but it's still dangerous enough to inflict wounds. It seems that Kasturi wasn't done with the lady that she didn't hesitate to dash towards her and used all her strength to perform a final strike to the lady.
At the thrust of her sword, a sickening stab was heard. She would have expected that she wounded the lady, but her eyes widened in shock that someone else took the blow. Right in front of her was Andrew, with the Curse Sword sticking out of his abdomen. The child had his arms open out wide in terms that he was protecting the lady from Kasturi, blood began to stain his vest and began to drip on the ground. Andrew, despite experiencing pain from being stabbed by his older sister, kept on smiling towards her even though the blood was dripping on his mouth.

Alpha-7's eyes widened the moment she saw the blade. The next seconds that passed seemed to draw out into an eternity. The fight was not over, she was still possessed by that thing, or at the very least, she still wasn't through with her. The options were few, she didn't have the strength to dodge, words didn't seem to dissuade her, and nothing short of ripping the girl's arm off seemed to work. Was that what it was going to take? To mortally wound her? Or worse? But even if she was able, at this juncture, that wasn't possible. She'd let down her defenses, left herself vulnerable. She should've checked to see if Kasturi was still holding the sword. She should've-.
*SHCK*
The sound of metal through flesh filled her ears. It took a moment for Alpha-7's to process that she didn't feel any new pain. As she looked down, she felt her breath escape her. The young boy had taken the blow in her stead. All of a sudden, a mixture of guilt and dread filled her entire being as she watched blood start to drip from the open wound. She couldn't wrap her head around this entire thing. This wasn't supposed to happen, she didn't mean for things to get this far. She was there to protect them, it was their job to prevent harm coming to them, not cause it. The situation had spiraled far beyond her control, and now an innocent had suffered the consequences.
Quickly, Alpha-7 shoved Kasturi away, taking the boy into her arms. The weapon had pierced his abdomen, the wound was severe, he looked to only have a few moments. Alpha-7 hesitated to remove the weapon out of fear it would exasperate the wound. There wasn't time to waste, they needed a doctor now. Without saying word, or even glancing back at Kasturi, she picked up the boy, and dashed towards the exit. She needed to get to the medical tent, and fast.

Kasturi stared at the two without having the thought of standing up, she hesitated in going after the lady because she has Andrew with her. Her thoughts were racing all over her head from what just happened seconds ago, everything went fast from her. The transformation, the fight, and the aftermath just took a toll of her energy whether be physical or psychological. When she saw Andrew tried his best to wake her up even if it took his own life, her mind just went blank all of a sudden before she and the child separated. The princess felt like a hypocrite, she vowed to protect the innocent but she killed one in the end because of her obsession. What she did to Andrew was obviously unjustifiable, she just stabbed a young boy with a curse sword! The little child was a Peacemaker, he always tried to make solutions with words and not swords. He even tried to befriend the enemy without any thoughts that he get killed at the shot of a bullet, but no. The worst part was that the little child was smiling, he understood how she feels and even forgives her when he was hurt.
"Andrew....What have I done.....?" Kasturi murmured while tears began to flow on her eyes.
~~
Meanwhile, Andrew was trying to keep himself awake from getting unconscious from the stab wound he had from Kasturi. It's true that Dainsleif would almost kill a person at one slash and would come that the wound can't be healed, he's pretty much lucky that the curse sword weakened when Kasturi went back to normal. But he's still in danger of getting killed because of either infection or blood loss, yet he was glad that he stopped Kasturi and the lady from fighting each other. The lady just took him away from his older sister figure without a word to say to her, he didn't care that his life was in danger though. Andrew took a peek at the tent to see Kasturi frozen on the spot, he was shocked to see that the princess was actually crying. He felt so bad. Kasturi was so guilty that she hurt him in the battlefield, and she's gonna get in trouble from the fight because of him.
He can see that the Dainsleif was still on his abdomen, he wanted to remove it as much as he can. And maybe after that, he can say that he's sorry from what happened. With the remaining strength he took a grip on the hilt of Dainsleif with both of his hands and began to pull the sword up.
"....I......I'm.....s.....s-so....rry...." Andrew apologised with no stop in removing the sword, it was painful but he had to do it. The Dainsleif sword had done its job in shedding blood, and now he has to sheathe it once more, "I'm....sorry....All my fault.......Made you....and Kasturi fight....Please....Forgive her...."
Suddenly, the mark on his right hand began to glow in yellow. The red and black magic from the sword began to fade as the yellow glow began to dominate from Kasturi's sword, he's still continuing in pulling the sword until it's removed from his wound. The sword, now extracted from his abdomen, began to lose its darkness as the light covered the whole sword.

Alpha-7's legs ached as she dashed out the main performance tent. She had to ignore the pain, whatever she was feeling was nothing compared to what the boy was going through. She had to get him help, there was no time to waste. As she ran, she heard the boy struggling to speak. He was apologizing. Alpha-7 couldn't help but shed a tear at the idea, that this kid was offering up an apology to her for what happened.
"Don't talk, kid," Alpha-7 said, trying to put on a brave face, "everything's gonna be fine. Just hang on for a few seconds and-."
She stopped suddenly when a light began shining in her eyes. It was coming from the boy's hand. It was only now that Alpha-7 looked down, and saw him removing the sword from his abdomen. Before she could say anything, the light began to envelope the sword, and transform it again. She was distracted for only an instant as her eyes refocused on the open wound in the boy's stomach. Quickly, she clasped a hand over it, hoping to at least slow the bleeding long enough to get him to the infirmary.
"Just sit tight," Alpha-7 said, pumping more strength into her steps, "everything's gonna be alright."
((Continue in infirmary tent?))
