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!
605Please respect copyright.PENANAULVFJ01VPa
She stepped over to the door, jostling the handle. The handle wavered became hazy and vanished. That was cruel.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAWe9hu5v6dn
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!
605Please respect copyright.PENANA1kErs6jAY9
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAMtsMIelpKw
She reached for a long one behind her back and looked at it. The bumps unfurled into leaves that split down the middle.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAMs71TR0i8W
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAShd91OP8DG
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAOnZGa8MxjR
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA81J4KNbaEW
I ...
605Please respect copyright.PENANAxHxlN5D8gs
...
605Please respect copyright.PENANANEzqTiIAuB
Ordain it.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAT83fd13N1B
A mental hold snapped.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA8W97BxTwdN
She shrieked along with the vines until her breath ran out. And then screamed, repeatedly. She dropped on her stomach gulping in deep breaths.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAIWsOFDpGDh
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAn3jrJ5cYdX
You lie.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA5jtPu2DV3z
You're not scared of what will happen, you're scared what I say is true.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAd9Uoq5yvvL
She stiffened, you are wrong, I will keep fighting you no matter how long it takes.
605Please respect copyright.PENANADnR5QIBmlm
The god growled in her mind. You can't even save yourself or your friends. Pathetic.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAb3AlgcDeMc
I tricked you once didn't I?
605Please respect copyright.PENANA6IcaXPuJ9o
Never again. The god pulled back inside; smoldering.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA0jP5ijV1Cl
A dark crackling of energy appeared near the door, it became wider and Maxwell stepped into the room.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAJOBdegPL0A
"Time to go."
605Please respect copyright.PENANAhWYJwsaytS
His rough hand grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Now what?
605Please respect copyright.PENANAFvJmhZ2XW8
"Come. It is time," he said.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAjvzRZ5AL5x
She leaned away from him. With her free hand started to pull out a dagger.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAA8eXjMswSc
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAQUvycfb3S0
"Move!" He pulled and jerked her towards the portal by the door.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAmsycsjQv1P
The portal. Wait.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA1w9h6TYqn5
"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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANABcAmIKfmrJ
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANATq7Bc7BSnz
Rushing towards the window at the end of the room her, she jumped onto the thin windowsill balancing there.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAHvNCbf9Ww4
"I don't believe this-" He ran down the tower, passing by the outer windows.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAGAq6jmSddn
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!
605Please respect copyright.PENANA4Og6VK0NBQ
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA2V83YPn8G6
The edge of the roof cracked and crumbled away. Oh, come on!
605Please respect copyright.PENANA6BPnAmrbvJ
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAZcUEu661ii
She rolled over while failing. The details of the ground cleared and grew larger.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA6zytHinST8
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAxGxDj3AlFA
"You take the last hope with you!"
605Please respect copyright.PENANAs752shWVV5
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAh8jnSKtkce
Why?
605Please respect copyright.PENANADks1eJpshS
Told you I'm not done.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAEDaq40lbHx
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAIJeg03vbKH
Maxwell spotted her as he crossed through the portal. With inhuman speed, he rushed over and struck her across the face.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAOL11Cn1FPd
Merryn flew over two hundred feet way, smashing into a large pinnacle tree.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAHbVInUzPjw
"I warned you."
605Please respect copyright.PENANA3eN1bfdUng
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAc9bZwfwAzZ
Flashbacks of what happened with Maxwell hit her unrelenting. Not Unnamed. Calm have to-
605Please respect copyright.PENANAbXjkQThdtx
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA3mPZNZ6E8P
Not I, control yourself!
605Please respect copyright.PENANArc9glCT7BC
Sweat drenched her clothing and she shivered. The burning intensified down to the marrow. She collapsed to her knees, still screaming.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAajOV8RDPZc
We will die!
605Please respect copyright.PENANAnsmBi6rXMY
I don't care all I want ... now is ... is chunks of his flesh in my hands!
605Please respect copyright.PENANAgXAEM9Q8Da
Maxwell held his hands over his ears, unable to move, stunned. Her screams continued and smashed into his chest, pushing him back.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAXHjMnpx69x
She stood. All emotions faded, but one. The burning from within that bubbled to the surface like a poison.
605Please respect copyright.PENANABtdbPe7MPR
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAuEokKkh0N9
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANABmgWFhvtN4
His lip furled, then he gritted his teeth as he came closer.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAzcz89YF7nS
"I make no promises."
605Please respect copyright.PENANAdIUBhH68fL
"Do it already. Just remember you caused it this time."
605Please respect copyright.PENANAg4tYfQVB9L
He bent down towards her, his face smooth and unreadable. "Yes, quite."
605Please respect copyright.PENANAw9yPOpVNLu
A tear streamed down her face, it dropped onto the palm of her hand, crystallizing, damn it. Hurry.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAOGI8TrfQZo
"I'd rather be your prisoner then have this happen, hurry damn it!"
605Please respect copyright.PENANAvuKz1WVloc
He broke into a run his gaze on the crystal.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ7TfxmlVw
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAa6TgXt8aWG
She strained to push the arms back, they wouldn't listen.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA2SKJy7IuLF
As if each arm was being pushed from under by an unseen spirit. Will alone wasn't enough.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAbgRUxAk4yL
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA0jCDbIMOqT
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?
605Please respect copyright.PENANAJXb6mxIQOA
Maxwell worked over real slow. The light washed out parts of his face while the rest stayed in shadow.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAAZllq5vMiY
Not much time left.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAghdkqZjswE
"End it." Her tone was faint, less than a whisper and tinged with an underlying chime.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAq99NfnsG77
"I thought I'd enjoy this more, the necessity of this takes from that."
605Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ8cKnqRur
His lips thinned as he gripped the sword in both hands and swing it at her.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAti0KAEwCkO
He turned to the side at the last second and rammed it in deep into her side.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA0nlBTIa2Y4
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?
605Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z5X9Lntnn
He went over to where the crystal laid picked it up and put it into a pouch.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAxSMF2EMnF4
He stood over her, his features smooth and flat.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAkJQE4ioRw6
Her vision grayed out and his features became a hazy blob.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAsGoUapTD2Y

605Please respect copyright.PENANAh4VxIKge9E
605Please respect copyright.PENANAuSU6LNZBzY
605Please respect copyright.PENANANnbcz8LcHb
An unknown time later she felt something slamming into her chest and she gasped. Her chest was heavy and cold.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAIxCqTcuH7F
Another slam.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAmtNEOPEZ4A
A grayed out forum stood over her. His arms were raised up with a ball of ice floating in between them.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA8hNtjCqH2v
He tossed and it slammed into her chest before spreading out and down like tiny knives.
605Please respect copyright.PENANA7UHSGQLjBT
Live. Die. Just make it stop. This went on for what felt like forever.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAAqmhZmqPqW
The person stood and as her vision cleared. Maxwell.
605Please respect copyright.PENANALJ5o3zLm9t
He kneeled down at her side.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAKtFMf89ZIx
"You will die when I say it's time."
605Please respect copyright.PENANAQvThARNt4O
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.
605Please respect copyright.PENANANWVr9GjW84
Trying but unable to move. So tired, let me go.
605Please respect copyright.PENANAXgOKruTS4k
Maxwell crouched down and picked her up and carried her behind the building. 605Please respect copyright.PENANA8O6xaLsgcO
