Even if I escape will I get there on time? She bit hard on the right hand's knuckles. Doesn't matter, have to try. Quit whining and do it!
608Please respect copyright.PENANAviAJhcx1sf
She stepped over to the door, jostling the handle. The handle wavered became hazy and vanished. That was cruel.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAgMCydjNyCw
That burning sensation started again, she bent over in pain as the vines worked their way past her shoulder blades and up to her neck. The long vines burrowed into her skin. She stood there gasping while trying to resist pulling them out like last time. Not now!
608Please respect copyright.PENANAnRgUM2oJBO
They worked their way up to her Elvin ears, wrapping around and, into them. She reached back, touching the vines. The vines developed small bumps on both sides.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAQwtVopyvS0
She reached for a long one behind her back and looked at it. The bumps unfurled into leaves that split down the middle.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAzN9Am49ch4
The painful burrowing needled into her neck at a faster pace. Her sanity became a seething madness where Unnamed lurked behind the corners of her mind. Every memory, every thought she could feel him there, peering in, ready to pounce. He slammed her with the memories of that city burning.
608Please respect copyright.PENANABRyFm0ePFW
When she tried to think about something else ... it dropped an image of Maxwell's son, burning in the fire his skin peeling off, complete with the boy screaming to the heavens.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAOTHWA3SqCq
She clenched her chest, it hurt. Sweat fell down the sides of her face in rivers, causing her hair to stick her face. She bent over kneeling on the floor with her hands supporting her. Hyperventilating. Stop it Breathe.
608Please respect copyright.PENANABzNGh1NXWo
I ...
608Please respect copyright.PENANA6zYfaxzRPt
...
608Please respect copyright.PENANAwa5hXpu8tf
Ordain it.
608Please respect copyright.PENANA6p8tD9KGUm
A mental hold snapped.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAq2v5qW04iF
She shrieked along with the vines until her breath ran out. And then screamed, repeatedly. She dropped on her stomach gulping in deep breaths.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAbaHrBBLaRa
Why fight me so? These lands need a leader, they need to be reborn. The planet is dying and I can revive it. I'm still the god of nature, young one. I'm coming back one way or another, why cause yourself pain? Think about it.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAXWqm3m61NW
You lie.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAu8HevIdb9j
You're not scared of what will happen, you're scared what I say is true.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAkndTSdwDmf
She stiffened, you are wrong, I will keep fighting you no matter how long it takes.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAU1mqpaC93P
The god growled in her mind. You can't even save yourself or your friends. Pathetic.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAYNSphn2P8o
I tricked you once didn't I?
608Please respect copyright.PENANAZeOPuWZSs2
Never again. The god pulled back inside; smoldering.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAme2d5QA0XI
A dark crackling of energy appeared near the door, it became wider and Maxwell stepped into the room.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAHWISgWEe9l
"Time to go."
608Please respect copyright.PENANAn4EyI9cdaC
His rough hand grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Now what?
608Please respect copyright.PENANAtykUqbKa4W
"Come. It is time," he said.
608Please respect copyright.PENANA5FwRL65L5h
She leaned away from him. With her free hand started to pull out a dagger.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAIMRgHvqwHp
He smacked it out of her hand, it bounced onto the floor slid across it and fell into a crack under the floorboards on the left of the room.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAysSTy2r97c
"Move!" He pulled and jerked her towards the portal by the door.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAlKMSklqK6V
The portal. Wait.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAdKxrbc4pjo
"Let go of me!"
She whispered a quick prayer to the wind spirit. He came and granted the boon. "
Thirty seconds. After that your life energy." He flitted away through the wall.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAqsAGk9chiw
Her body thrummed with pure energy granted from the great winds. Need to do this, and quick. She whipped her arm and broke free from his grip.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAMfC6sGgAEg
Rushing towards the window at the end of the room her, she jumped onto the thin windowsill balancing there.
608Please respect copyright.PENANATUVS9ATB2x
"I don't believe this-" He ran down the tower, passing by the outer windows.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAwdpSu8wzTM
Merryn weaved and grabbed the edges of the window. Maxwell strode over to her. She sprang up clawing at the roof shingles, they fell off the roof seconds after grabbing them and shattered on the ground. Going to die, again!
608Please respect copyright.PENANAZCEZx3zSly
She clutched to the edge of the roof with the tips of her fingers. No! I refuse! An ill timed wind passed over her sweat soaked skin, she shivered.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAE0VWZS3QoK
The edge of the roof cracked and crumbled away. Oh, come on!
608Please respect copyright.PENANAqv0c5CTy2b
She shrieked while falling thirty some feet below. The stars above were brighter than she'd ever seen them. The spirits of her clan streaked down silent, a sadness emanated from them. One said something, but it was too far away.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAqUQUaf4obB
She rolled over while failing. The details of the ground cleared and grew larger.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAvFk0NSIKiS
It hurt; failing them. Failing everyone. Hot tears streamed from the sides of her eyes. Perhaps the god would die with her, she held on to that thought and squeezed them shut.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAtbIqHY3q1F
"You take the last hope with you!"
608Please respect copyright.PENANAkwWOKRXcYU
She slammed into the ground. The pain didn't register for a handful of seconds. She wiggled her fingers, then slowly sat up. How? He felt her back cold, slimy gunk ran down it. She reached up some, a mass of vines covered her back.
608Please respect copyright.PENANA0mcUnZjoZa
Why?
608Please respect copyright.PENANA3HsDYbs7aM
Told you I'm not done.
608Please respect copyright.PENANA8oJR3c9y8c
The vines separated and hissed as while falling off dead. She knelt on a knee. The grass spun, and a pit if acid rose into her mouth.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAPLNoytaaau
Maxwell spotted her as he crossed through the portal. With inhuman speed, he rushed over and struck her across the face.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAVPSkQmoTa0
Merryn flew over two hundred feet way, smashing into a large pinnacle tree.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAnbLaxCOBTb
"I warned you."
608Please respect copyright.PENANAgeWhjZUcmz
Her body slid downward, and she stared at him. A warmth burned from deep within, it raced through her body. It's back again. The last time ... so many died.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAR2FqOTl09V
Flashbacks of what happened with Maxwell hit her unrelenting. Not Unnamed. Calm have to-
608Please respect copyright.PENANAmB8CkIUEvH
Her sense of time cracked and wasn't sure how long that she had been screaming. Her throat now raw, unable to stop, she screamed to an even higher frequency.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAK4xYYfG8dH
Not I, control yourself!
608Please respect copyright.PENANAIqLTvfJbkH
Sweat drenched her clothing and she shivered. The burning intensified down to the marrow. She collapsed to her knees, still screaming.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAwVZobKm7mE
We will die!
608Please respect copyright.PENANA2eWvtc3wNK
I don't care all I want ... now is ... is chunks of his flesh in my hands!
608Please respect copyright.PENANACkkKecdwEa
Maxwell held his hands over his ears, unable to move, stunned. Her screams continued and smashed into his chest, pushing him back.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAbnYtLK4eOL
She stood. All emotions faded, but one. The burning from within that bubbled to the surface like a poison.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAK7LOg6b3wU
A prickling ran up and down her arms, up her neck and a rush tingled her scalp. She shook her head while a slow grin spread. "Human stop me now or I'll rip you apart ... and enjoy it." Before all the hell happened he had been an ally. Though he'll be far less gentle than before. Just as well.
608Please respect copyright.PENANA2CRElZsfzr
Maxwell gave a cut nod, then took his hands off his ears then moved forward. He took his spear off of the back holster and walked towards her.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAD0ht8xBWLb
His lip furled, then he gritted his teeth as he came closer.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAdMiZF7jgFr
"I make no promises."
608Please respect copyright.PENANABE2UcG5EKR
"Do it already. Just remember you caused it this time."
608Please respect copyright.PENANA8WDfiKrXL0
He bent down towards her, his face smooth and unreadable. "Yes, quite."
608Please respect copyright.PENANAwCuL2ioHd6
A tear streamed down her face, it dropped onto the palm of her hand, crystallizing, damn it. Hurry.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAuENtLhIAnJ
"I'd rather be your prisoner then have this happen, hurry damn it!"
608Please respect copyright.PENANADdiysrypMK
He broke into a run his gaze on the crystal.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAylyRuFply6
The crystal emanated a soft glow from within, every moment growing brighter. The burning faded and a coldness spread through her body. Unable to stop, she began chanting the forbidden spell.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAycIqF5kEVs
She strained to push the arms back, they wouldn't listen.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAPFN7Vm7LYn
As if each arm was being pushed from under by an unseen spirit. Will alone wasn't enough.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAkQLPk3RHXO
She tossed it up into the air. The tear spun as it did it sent out a glowing nova dot of light. Next, it widened into a halo. This enveloped the entire area in a blinding light.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAGNfADm6oVC
The elders said that it would only go off if there wasn't any choice. But, this is the second time it's started on its own?
608Please respect copyright.PENANAdcBSFfl8V6
Maxwell worked over real slow. The light washed out parts of his face while the rest stayed in shadow.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAHKEWRAsHWx
Not much time left.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAzK5XmEnmhN
"End it." Her tone was faint, less than a whisper and tinged with an underlying chime.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAJLKBCdqH9X
"I thought I'd enjoy this more, the necessity of this takes from that."
608Please respect copyright.PENANAdqXxQbyeKL
His lips thinned as he gripped the sword in both hands and swing it at her.
608Please respect copyright.PENANA0M3NuQwngC
He turned to the side at the last second and rammed it in deep into her side.
608Please respect copyright.PENANATaLytyJxmf
The crystal tear flew out of her hands. She shrieked. Pain everything became this as a numbness again. She fell on her side shaking. Did it stop?
608Please respect copyright.PENANAwOoIBUkyFI
He went over to where the crystal laid picked it up and put it into a pouch.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAo1wjEjkjzu
He stood over her, his features smooth and flat.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAoGKAoPpOmM
Her vision grayed out and his features became a hazy blob.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAc5xfDh7JGW

608Please respect copyright.PENANA1YynVTi9XF
608Please respect copyright.PENANAVzfrJGSeQk
608Please respect copyright.PENANA0gn2uEUHt3
An unknown time later she felt something slamming into her chest and she gasped. Her chest was heavy and cold.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAW5q7Qi8bN0
Another slam.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAjA7J48RSEw
A grayed out forum stood over her. His arms were raised up with a ball of ice floating in between them.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAxv3gBHKZod
He tossed and it slammed into her chest before spreading out and down like tiny knives.
608Please respect copyright.PENANApnV6PsXgPq
Live. Die. Just make it stop. This went on for what felt like forever.
608Please respect copyright.PENANABOafKEGpTb
The person stood and as her vision cleared. Maxwell.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAmkL3LKih8f
He kneeled down at her side.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAH3JhmOEtPu
"You will die when I say it's time."
608Please respect copyright.PENANA2RRobc6tJQ
From under the palms of his hands, a hidden dagger shot out dripping with a thin pearl gray fluid. It caught her in the neck.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAY6Pb1bNDbs
Trying but unable to move. So tired, let me go.
608Please respect copyright.PENANAlibbVwaLCt
Maxwell crouched down and picked her up and carried her behind the building. 608Please respect copyright.PENANAwHeTTjxbGp
