And....die, it did actually. In fact the electricity from the staff's blow caused the creature to actually explode upon impact.
Which, unbeknownst to her, left Lilith with nothing to defend herself with anymore, aside from her own nails on her hands. Her world burned to the ground again just as it had when Vincent Loque trespassed into her land.
She waited impatiently, hearing Andy yell and then another crashing KABOOM but then nothing else. Perhaps all of them were dead? Would have been a bonus, really. With some spellwork she could eventually conjure up another scythe monster later, anyway.
She moved her hand and with its movements, the thorn walls shifted to allow her to see.
To Lilith's dismay which was clearly shown on her face (wide eyed and gaping mouth and all), both Andy and Jasmine were still alive.
'....DAMMIT...'

"It's over Lilith!" Andy yelled, carrying Jasmine under his arm. "You lost, give up now!"

She had to think of something. Something, anything. Lilith couldn't let him leave, not when the girl was so close to death like she should be.
Lilith bit her lip, her first instinct to scream out 'never'. But maybe there was another way for her to turn this around. She was getting desperate enough and it pissed her off that she was at the mercy of some kid.
You know, again.
"What would you say if I said fine?" she finally spoke, intent fully to stall him at this point.

"I'd say never show your face in Crepusculum again, and never attack the Louqe family ever again!" Andy yelled, feeling a little unsure of himself. This was wayyy too easy... and it normally never seems to end like this.

Lilith tried her best not to smile. So, despite him fighting off her entire army mercilessly like a real mighty warrior he really was nothing more than just some stupid, naive little kid.
'Heh. Nice "heroes", Yeligar Maelstrom' she thought to herself as she tilted her head the side, placing her hands on her hips.
"I've got nothing more in Crepusculum to deal with, I've realized just looking around at my burning forest for the second time now in the past year that obviously pursuing the Loque family for revenge really isn't worth the time and effort. Hala Loque is dead, so is my sister, and so be it," she started to move towards him, slowly, cautiously, and kept her hands where he could see them, "you're not the only one looking for peace, you know. Just because I'm involved with the Sumata doesn't mean I'm coldhearted, and it certainly doesn't mean I'm a terrible ruler--I've got my responsibilities with my kingdom, I care for my people. I care for things to be fair."
She stopped a good six feet away from Andy, holding out a hand cautiously, but respectfully.
"I've only ever done my immoral deeds because someone's wronged me."

Listening to her speak was odd, she said all the right words and moved in the right way, but her tone seemed...forced. There was something so disbelieving about this, even when Zelos announced betrayal one could easily tell the conviction in his voice. There was a sense of true change. Lilith though...something was wrong, oh so terribly wrong.
...He knew what it was. His rage. His rage sent him on high alert, his rage reminded him of what Lilith did...and how she did it without a blind eye. She could have killed them all right here, and she attempted so with a great conviction that Andy knew that she was an enemy, not someone misunderstood.
"...You done immoral deeds because you chose to do them, no one forced you to do anything. I watched you stand of Hala's body with no remorse, no apologies, no revenge in your heart satisfied either. Just pure sadistic choices." he said, his form returning to normal and his huge cleaver sword in his hands. "Instead of trying to kill Vincent, you chose to strike his family. You have no remorse. I care nothing of your 'apologies'. You're a Sumata through and through."

Lilith remained silent as she listened to Andy, her position never changing. She was quiet as she answered him finally.
"I suppose I did make the choice. I assure you though, I have security in search of Vincent Loque all over Alberisato so that he may get what is coming to him," she was calm and waited patiently hoping he'd drop his guard, "though have it your way. The girl lives and I stay out of Crepusculum from here on. Vincent Loque, should he step into my land I can't guarantee anything. We are in agreement?"

Andy narrowed his eyes, his blade still being gripped tightly by his hand as Lilith talked. He had no idea why the hell he was still here, Jasmine was barely alive and the more they talked the more time he wasted. He needed to get her help.
"..Ph, whatever." he said, turning around and walking off to Guasto direction. Hoping if Zelos was as reformed as he said, he'd help him out.
...he'd never thought he'd be admitting Zelos may be a good person.

She smiled as he turned his back to her. What a real piece of work this one was. What kind of a warrior just walked away on their enemy like that? Clearly not a real one.
He walked off and she followed, pulling her hand up to strike. She only needed one good shot and time would ensure his death.
"Andy, you really are stupid!" Lilith swiped with her hand, nails plunging into his neck...shoulder...somewhere in that area. She didn't care, she only knew she managed to claw something on his backside.
"That's why you'll die in a few days' time instead," she laughed, "then you can't interfere with anything, anything at all. You'll be unable to do anything but watch your 'family' die."

Andy yelled out, she managed to get something, he fell on his knees and growled against the sudden pain. What the-damn it, damn it, I shouldn't have let my guard down.
No shit Andy. His inner evil sighed, Why do I have to finish your dirty work?
Wait...what are you doing?! Andy thought as his eyes became black and gold, his body not obeying him, even through the poison his Inner Evil put Jasmine down and was making him stand up. Like a healthy man rather than one poisoned. He turned around, the Inner Evil wanted her to see his eyes. See the urge, the thirst, the need...to see her blood all over the grass.
"Watch this Andy," his Inner Evil spoke, "This is how you you knock over the first domino."
Andy felt his hand grabbed Lilith's shoulder, holding her as his other hand thrust the giant cleaver sword for her chest.
"You watch this too Lilith," he spoke to her, "THIS is how your hasty actions damns you."

Jasmine was having trouble trying to keep her attention focused, things seemed to be blurring together at points because her mind was solely on the crazy amount of pain her body was going through. Blood loss probably also added to that.
She moved her head in the direction Andy had left as she was put back on the ground. She never saw his eyes make the change, and while she could hear something was amiss about him all Jasmine could see was a scratched up Andy take his sword and deliver to Lilith what she had coming to her.
"Andy..."

Andy's eyes changed in colour, his whole demeanour seemed to change suddenly as he turned to face Lilith. It was off-putting and actually quickly removed the snarky attitude from her entirely as she made to move backwards.
"W-wait, what the hell?!" she spat as he grabbed her. Her eyes widened as the sword came at her, having only enough time to suck in a sharp breath before hot blood splattered across the grass. She toppled over the large blade, trembling for a moment afterward before her whole body fell limp.
Lilith Damnedblood, the queen of Alberisato was dead.

Andy's eyes returned to normal, his hand still on the blade that ran through the Lilith. His body in shock of what his inner evil did...then the poison took effect and Andy fell to his hands and knees, crawling over to Jasmine he scooped her up.
"J-Jas...it's over...you're safe..." he groaned against his own pain, holding her up.

Jasmine watched Andy crawl back to her, knowing something was very wrong with him. He wasn't as strong as he just was, and it didn't take her long to piece together what had happened.
"Andy..." Jasmine said, forcing herself to move to try to meet him and as he went to pick her up she threw her arms up to wrap around him in a hug.
"...I-it'll be okay. Mother said so," she spoke softly but confidently, "l-look after me...I'll look after you..."

"Thanks Jas...I....GAH!" Andy yelled, the poison striking him. Causing his vision to go blurry. "God...damn....she...poisoned...me..."
He leaned against Jasmine as he waited for these effects to pass over.
