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!
604Please respect copyright.PENANA7i8sxWEScg
She stepped over to the door, jostling the handle. The handle wavered became hazy and vanished. That was cruel.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAtGVhUQ6Ohi
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!
604Please respect copyright.PENANApVFeeTl2gV
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAr2zeHAneFt
She reached for a long one behind her back and looked at it. The bumps unfurled into leaves that split down the middle.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAT2pDLzTfOR
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA3H6siDUzzB
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAwXYJoeGXIm
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAp48UX0VbwF
I ...
604Please respect copyright.PENANAHqhQmnRfp3
...
604Please respect copyright.PENANANBXdatzoTj
Ordain it.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAourQPnQL9y
A mental hold snapped.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAJr3RkwWFS3
She shrieked along with the vines until her breath ran out. And then screamed, repeatedly. She dropped on her stomach gulping in deep breaths.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAzZWQc9ECaq
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAJfUDnpbB4y
You lie.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAdLTjURbT20
You're not scared of what will happen, you're scared what I say is true.
604Please respect copyright.PENANARTGwQIv0ya
She stiffened, you are wrong, I will keep fighting you no matter how long it takes.
604Please respect copyright.PENANASjAnE1zLKA
The god growled in her mind. You can't even save yourself or your friends. Pathetic.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA0gy4aOTc6H
I tricked you once didn't I?
604Please respect copyright.PENANAnEDfweuvIc
Never again. The god pulled back inside; smoldering.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAYQJ7zpPZUa
A dark crackling of energy appeared near the door, it became wider and Maxwell stepped into the room.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAUnj833CQyy
"Time to go."
604Please respect copyright.PENANAoLoq0jNTin
His rough hand grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Now what?
604Please respect copyright.PENANAeboqpfEgYY
"Come. It is time," he said.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAtL2lrZSPws
She leaned away from him. With her free hand started to pull out a dagger.
604Please respect copyright.PENANADubipcRzpX
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAZaqcCFreiR
"Move!" He pulled and jerked her towards the portal by the door.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAQTie7K7Eaj
The portal. Wait.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAkqU8Vx4hs9
"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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAYeMv1GfUNn
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA332TaxjyLH
Rushing towards the window at the end of the room her, she jumped onto the thin windowsill balancing there.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAGR9MHqiUZc
"I don't believe this-" He ran down the tower, passing by the outer windows.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAaNjdIVWJZK
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!
604Please respect copyright.PENANAYUDhEmEirA
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAXU2tmxMT5g
The edge of the roof cracked and crumbled away. Oh, come on!
604Please respect copyright.PENANAe9aGZJFsUA
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAFbd3sVvAkA
She rolled over while failing. The details of the ground cleared and grew larger.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAU1fCnER2cR
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANArDBe1pIOCv
"You take the last hope with you!"
604Please respect copyright.PENANAibADySiTNN
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAU0JBrGPpvZ
Why?
604Please respect copyright.PENANA4T700PGIgw
Told you I'm not done.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA3DVMXeYTH7
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA4y3H8qh86S
Maxwell spotted her as he crossed through the portal. With inhuman speed, he rushed over and struck her across the face.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAjHTxtfKc6S
Merryn flew over two hundred feet way, smashing into a large pinnacle tree.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAwGOVUr8y5h
"I warned you."
604Please respect copyright.PENANA193wRRRVvN
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAXKsziFwSqU
Flashbacks of what happened with Maxwell hit her unrelenting. Not Unnamed. Calm have to-
604Please respect copyright.PENANA3q0SMzL5sm
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAW46yKtbuxD
Not I, control yourself!
604Please respect copyright.PENANAwiri52R6Lz
Sweat drenched her clothing and she shivered. The burning intensified down to the marrow. She collapsed to her knees, still screaming.
604Please respect copyright.PENANATqa1HYEEMV
We will die!
604Please respect copyright.PENANA67ALpkrtOf
I don't care all I want ... now is ... is chunks of his flesh in my hands!
604Please respect copyright.PENANAiLAjHODkJA
Maxwell held his hands over his ears, unable to move, stunned. Her screams continued and smashed into his chest, pushing him back.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAf5wK8a9Khs
She stood. All emotions faded, but one. The burning from within that bubbled to the surface like a poison.
604Please respect copyright.PENANASsafmIi8Ru
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANArfeP4zk9Tm
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAMAzJ774Hrh
His lip furled, then he gritted his teeth as he came closer.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA1bYYAMlquL
"I make no promises."
604Please respect copyright.PENANAydZkhTwyqY
"Do it already. Just remember you caused it this time."
604Please respect copyright.PENANAvODSrfroNy
He bent down towards her, his face smooth and unreadable. "Yes, quite."
604Please respect copyright.PENANAnQx6Fs25sN
A tear streamed down her face, it dropped onto the palm of her hand, crystallizing, damn it. Hurry.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAYzH6zVy7DX
"I'd rather be your prisoner then have this happen, hurry damn it!"
604Please respect copyright.PENANA9wXvP2H2RU
He broke into a run his gaze on the crystal.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAwf2BdN21QD
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAqvMXLVUnTz
She strained to push the arms back, they wouldn't listen.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAxRAMKFtRcM
As if each arm was being pushed from under by an unseen spirit. Will alone wasn't enough.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAmH5G79VedV
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANADy26VBRpTe
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?
604Please respect copyright.PENANAeqF3Iti7lN
Maxwell worked over real slow. The light washed out parts of his face while the rest stayed in shadow.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAKov82DiTTq
Not much time left.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAxgHjYTehWF
"End it." Her tone was faint, less than a whisper and tinged with an underlying chime.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAUh1BaMZM83
"I thought I'd enjoy this more, the necessity of this takes from that."
604Please respect copyright.PENANAH2931vrlrq
His lips thinned as he gripped the sword in both hands and swing it at her.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAkBguUmnGB5
He turned to the side at the last second and rammed it in deep into her side.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAEoU8I61Ukd
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?
604Please respect copyright.PENANAzuZJ1WUgVS
He went over to where the crystal laid picked it up and put it into a pouch.
604Please respect copyright.PENANApGPPNaTg2c
He stood over her, his features smooth and flat.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAyDbKyD3tdr
Her vision grayed out and his features became a hazy blob.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA8Aa6S7ZPdV
####
604Please respect copyright.PENANAi5h2RrFRop
604Please respect copyright.PENANAHVEcdeZUMN
604Please respect copyright.PENANACTaAtsBmKX
An unknown time later she felt something slamming into her chest and she gasped. Her chest was heavy and cold.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA18ndKld8tD
Another slam.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAjjafZYo6p3
A grayed out forum stood over her. His arms were raised up with a ball of ice floating in between them.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAM8NUSFEX2B
He tossed and it slammed into her chest before spreading out and down like tiny knives.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAXnMugLsV07
Live. Die. Just make it stop. This went on for what felt like forever.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAdzi3iodvGL
The person stood and as her vision cleared. Maxwell.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAPr0vngZE7m
He kneeled down at her side.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAWUlFak8LHM
"You will die when I say it's time."
604Please respect copyright.PENANAhPqyT09z7P
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAa9aiqvfn7h
Trying but unable to move. So tired, let me go.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAQPPxRxm473
Maxwell crouched down and picked her up and carried her behind the building. 604Please respect copyright.PENANAh51zNMvOI4
