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!
621Please respect copyright.PENANArjww1JQJ80
She stepped over to the door, jostling the handle. The handle wavered became hazy and vanished. That was cruel.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAZdHVM4lMMZ
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!
621Please respect copyright.PENANAeZOMHGtrp1
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANA8ewcURdDQp
She reached for a long one behind her back and looked at it. The bumps unfurled into leaves that split down the middle.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAUWBOY3ezZi
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAD5o2iwyPh3
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAH0keWYw1Su
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAxvfAIRwVhi
I ...
621Please respect copyright.PENANAdoSK4Y3qfe
...
621Please respect copyright.PENANABp7JdzqEfz
Ordain it.
621Please respect copyright.PENANA7FZofSBQDL
A mental hold snapped.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAyR9u6iELNa
She shrieked along with the vines until her breath ran out. And then screamed, repeatedly. She dropped on her stomach gulping in deep breaths.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAInU3uvDWl2
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANA6fbWfvg63G
You lie.
621Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rdskcb01c
You're not scared of what will happen, you're scared what I say is true.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAH6cKtRhFb3
She stiffened, you are wrong, I will keep fighting you no matter how long it takes.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAZwoy6kqqFp
The god growled in her mind. You can't even save yourself or your friends. Pathetic.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAqwPx3bLcmp
I tricked you once didn't I?
621Please respect copyright.PENANA8axVKP2kuK
Never again. The god pulled back inside; smoldering.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAkDNYy6dZXu
A dark crackling of energy appeared near the door, it became wider and Maxwell stepped into the room.
621Please respect copyright.PENANA8ACiGiYiwe
"Time to go."
621Please respect copyright.PENANAhmGpBmLUD1
His rough hand grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Now what?
621Please respect copyright.PENANAuwJ5JCT3UG
"Come. It is time," he said.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAlZxFS0InaJ
She leaned away from him. With her free hand started to pull out a dagger.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFefdauLB4R
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAUwFQ6bpqDk
"Move!" He pulled and jerked her towards the portal by the door.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAIxaO9a2Hhb
The portal. Wait.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAndoyT4eGwz
"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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAOhuNYS5zzp
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAesikfXS00g
Rushing towards the window at the end of the room her, she jumped onto the thin windowsill balancing there.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAQPJYZVbQhp
"I don't believe this-" He ran down the tower, passing by the outer windows.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAoKlpNDNatM
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!
621Please respect copyright.PENANAgYGzrzhi5N
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAtGo7ONHE6X
The edge of the roof cracked and crumbled away. Oh, come on!
621Please respect copyright.PENANADalA8zCkMY
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAoPv733lHAf
She rolled over while failing. The details of the ground cleared and grew larger.
621Please respect copyright.PENANA0Yl3hNQwtG
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAOWl95mx3T7
"You take the last hope with you!"
621Please respect copyright.PENANANFjHU7XqPV
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANABBxxjw2RRS
Why?
621Please respect copyright.PENANATKj6Jfrx0a
Told you I'm not done.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAZZAq1NmEX6
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAbfbqjiXrZo
Maxwell spotted her as he crossed through the portal. With inhuman speed, he rushed over and struck her across the face.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAMgKRYSbuLU
Merryn flew over two hundred feet way, smashing into a large pinnacle tree.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjRNYQqX3qV
"I warned you."
621Please respect copyright.PENANAPyUKn1CLEf
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAYNLMqnD8nA
Flashbacks of what happened with Maxwell hit her unrelenting. Not Unnamed. Calm have to-
621Please respect copyright.PENANARsIiXMqZJv
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjB7boTZEGO
Not I, control yourself!
621Please respect copyright.PENANAsm9ZtGJfr9
Sweat drenched her clothing and she shivered. The burning intensified down to the marrow. She collapsed to her knees, still screaming.
621Please respect copyright.PENANArvxBqReoMj
We will die!
621Please respect copyright.PENANAvQcfJWHWgA
I don't care all I want ... now is ... is chunks of his flesh in my hands!
621Please respect copyright.PENANA8iqNjrKSRM
Maxwell held his hands over his ears, unable to move, stunned. Her screams continued and smashed into his chest, pushing him back.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAwwdeVeA64X
She stood. All emotions faded, but one. The burning from within that bubbled to the surface like a poison.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAJrfqEyCQzf
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANASOWMCyCtk8
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAXP6WUUt8Fp
His lip furled, then he gritted his teeth as he came closer.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFg46qTai1g
"I make no promises."
621Please respect copyright.PENANAnVhgpKe0OZ
"Do it already. Just remember you caused it this time."
621Please respect copyright.PENANAXsWZgYol2u
He bent down towards her, his face smooth and unreadable. "Yes, quite."
621Please respect copyright.PENANA2V1JuPmWC2
A tear streamed down her face, it dropped onto the palm of her hand, crystallizing, damn it. Hurry.
621Please respect copyright.PENANASKbHkDAQeu
"I'd rather be your prisoner then have this happen, hurry damn it!"
621Please respect copyright.PENANAF46AMWZJ3h
He broke into a run his gaze on the crystal.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAEI2iDTlfJN
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANA3y2Le06nKq
She strained to push the arms back, they wouldn't listen.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAbzYAUQ6mur
As if each arm was being pushed from under by an unseen spirit. Will alone wasn't enough.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAhSoJnOrKVs
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAruzOWnweTU
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?
621Please respect copyright.PENANAbm1UuMpQud
Maxwell worked over real slow. The light washed out parts of his face while the rest stayed in shadow.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAVV6LrO6NsZ
Not much time left.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAQmjRV7rnLk
"End it." Her tone was faint, less than a whisper and tinged with an underlying chime.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAGlVJA0QCN7
"I thought I'd enjoy this more, the necessity of this takes from that."
621Please respect copyright.PENANAyBMfV6qLLX
His lips thinned as he gripped the sword in both hands and swing it at her.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAXfgzUwlW1p
He turned to the side at the last second and rammed it in deep into her side.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5m3Kh8iGo
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?
621Please respect copyright.PENANAstKFK5Bx8b
He went over to where the crystal laid picked it up and put it into a pouch.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAtuNug5Ruoh
He stood over her, his features smooth and flat.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAkX1jAXHGmF
Her vision grayed out and his features became a hazy blob.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAJzfmCmgoRn

621Please respect copyright.PENANAys4BdT96tW
621Please respect copyright.PENANAQfvhRcQedv
621Please respect copyright.PENANArZ1IxJbSVr
An unknown time later she felt something slamming into her chest and she gasped. Her chest was heavy and cold.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjuoJdIQcNn
Another slam.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAPwNPnTdePM
A grayed out forum stood over her. His arms were raised up with a ball of ice floating in between them.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAuEHoVbLpRC
He tossed and it slammed into her chest before spreading out and down like tiny knives.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAC5Xr3COQmJ
Live. Die. Just make it stop. This went on for what felt like forever.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAJlryaXbk6n
The person stood and as her vision cleared. Maxwell.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAzFsJFOOfdA
He kneeled down at her side.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAZOHhhrwdPw
"You will die when I say it's time."
621Please respect copyright.PENANA2yFc2nxLL3
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.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAz1NXEOdg6k
Trying but unable to move. So tired, let me go.
621Please respect copyright.PENANAvcvZIL81Zu
Maxwell crouched down and picked her up and carried her behind the building. 621Please respect copyright.PENANASmfZnr3u6T
