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!
852Please respect copyright.PENANAltwPNMhpAs
She stepped over to the door, jostling the handle. The handle wavered became hazy and vanished. That was cruel.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAtwl0QDQ3or
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!
852Please respect copyright.PENANAGRsm4BkOFp
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAK5lXqdoLNd
She reached for a long one behind her back and looked at it. The bumps unfurled into leaves that split down the middle.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAZVDNPBGDJV
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAQc2P57iPQU
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAE5HOQl6Yev
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAGd1bq4Exir
I ...
852Please respect copyright.PENANACPJ1zlw34A
...
852Please respect copyright.PENANAUYFz6X67Xt
Ordain it.
852Please respect copyright.PENANA8s7JUAWUlZ
A mental hold snapped.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAOhhhphXI57
She shrieked along with the vines until her breath ran out. And then screamed, repeatedly. She dropped on her stomach gulping in deep breaths.
852Please respect copyright.PENANA2OOBFRf6Sv
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAaVupENoHBA
You lie.
852Please respect copyright.PENANARQ1EoBVoRD
You're not scared of what will happen, you're scared what I say is true.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAhq7E4hiExr
She stiffened, you are wrong, I will keep fighting you no matter how long it takes.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAo2Blq07jNt
The god growled in her mind. You can't even save yourself or your friends. Pathetic.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAAGjFF8fLhe
I tricked you once didn't I?
852Please respect copyright.PENANA7VWptQpUyN
Never again. The god pulled back inside; smoldering.
852Please respect copyright.PENANA4UDoYzs8EK
A dark crackling of energy appeared near the door, it became wider and Maxwell stepped into the room.
852Please respect copyright.PENANABh0xQVswxP
"Time to go."
852Please respect copyright.PENANAhxldoSivB2
His rough hand grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Now what?
852Please respect copyright.PENANALL8ktAfHrM
"Come. It is time," he said.
852Please respect copyright.PENANALFKTMMJBy7
She leaned away from him. With her free hand started to pull out a dagger.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAMzOR0VTv37
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANACzpty14xWG
"Move!" He pulled and jerked her towards the portal by the door.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAoQG2224JEU
The portal. Wait.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAlCLXQWcxXq
"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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAriKg8oDqJL
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANASPjnA98x7T
Rushing towards the window at the end of the room her, she jumped onto the thin windowsill balancing there.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAMFnh3iUvaI
"I don't believe this-" He ran down the tower, passing by the outer windows.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAqVH12RGJ0c
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!
852Please respect copyright.PENANAQeJ9IwhMOH
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAvRsYEyZ3me
The edge of the roof cracked and crumbled away. Oh, come on!
852Please respect copyright.PENANApZyxkvSRq7
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAK9hvTkO78R
She rolled over while failing. The details of the ground cleared and grew larger.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAz9F5Ql3Bjk
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANArVCJjE91If
"You take the last hope with you!"
852Please respect copyright.PENANAAQOyzzghbq
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANATtGT6jhyy2
Why?
852Please respect copyright.PENANAZXKASjXSiE
Told you I'm not done.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAHhSKlMA4D3
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANA150jWFaYW4
Maxwell spotted her as he crossed through the portal. With inhuman speed, he rushed over and struck her across the face.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAcsOAPWz5mo
Merryn flew over two hundred feet way, smashing into a large pinnacle tree.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAtjeJTMNqjz
"I warned you."
852Please respect copyright.PENANAI5J9i9MEnX
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAZl6eyyxlDX
Flashbacks of what happened with Maxwell hit her unrelenting. Not Unnamed. Calm have to-
852Please respect copyright.PENANAuAnLTUcL3m
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAuLe6w0YS0B
Not I, control yourself!
852Please respect copyright.PENANANB7k1YCzDr
Sweat drenched her clothing and she shivered. The burning intensified down to the marrow. She collapsed to her knees, still screaming.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ6pauE6YE
We will die!
852Please respect copyright.PENANAdbUCti2b1A
I don't care all I want ... now is ... is chunks of his flesh in my hands!
852Please respect copyright.PENANAk4WIFL8hYl
Maxwell held his hands over his ears, unable to move, stunned. Her screams continued and smashed into his chest, pushing him back.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAj0noHFMtIr
She stood. All emotions faded, but one. The burning from within that bubbled to the surface like a poison.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAtsRTsZwge2
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAh3srI7dPqg
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANA4tRkziTAgS
His lip furled, then he gritted his teeth as he came closer.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAqM0kCzXEnj
"I make no promises."
852Please respect copyright.PENANAkuH3zaY6w1
"Do it already. Just remember you caused it this time."
852Please respect copyright.PENANAZN92bb2tFW
He bent down towards her, his face smooth and unreadable. "Yes, quite."
852Please respect copyright.PENANAP3tCn2M5Fv
A tear streamed down her face, it dropped onto the palm of her hand, crystallizing, damn it. Hurry.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAqTA4EZ6uQ7
"I'd rather be your prisoner then have this happen, hurry damn it!"
852Please respect copyright.PENANA4cjzd95CVl
He broke into a run his gaze on the crystal.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAa2xwa2Vneo
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAEnn5KXSZPG
She strained to push the arms back, they wouldn't listen.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAS29EJCxUSE
As if each arm was being pushed from under by an unseen spirit. Will alone wasn't enough.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAc1p2lvtJEO
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANALp4erivegn
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?
852Please respect copyright.PENANAD4NkhuYzZ3
Maxwell worked over real slow. The light washed out parts of his face while the rest stayed in shadow.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAvx3g7dl4Nl
Not much time left.
852Please respect copyright.PENANALbwu7mt9sv
"End it." Her tone was faint, less than a whisper and tinged with an underlying chime.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAuClKY6x1uq
"I thought I'd enjoy this more, the necessity of this takes from that."
852Please respect copyright.PENANA42BQVUhwD4
His lips thinned as he gripped the sword in both hands and swing it at her.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAlHJIEXoiO4
He turned to the side at the last second and rammed it in deep into her side.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAtTVkGvUGNv
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?
852Please respect copyright.PENANA0og3Wzn3SI
He went over to where the crystal laid picked it up and put it into a pouch.
852Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZkfAiQOKH
He stood over her, his features smooth and flat.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAlbpd1vdMYM
Her vision grayed out and his features became a hazy blob.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAlvajcLgxaA

852Please respect copyright.PENANAQNYPydMhg2
852Please respect copyright.PENANAUkI3GYbAZi
An unknown time later she felt something slamming into her chest and she gasped. Her chest was heavy and cold.
852Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cuj1nntcc
Another slam.
852Please respect copyright.PENANA2mwRjfYHl1
A grayed out forum stood over her. His arms were raised up with a ball of ice floating in between them.
852Please respect copyright.PENANA5OlLKIomzZ
He tossed and it slammed into her chest before spreading out and down like tiny knives.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAYVKZuxZclk
Live. Die. Just make it stop. This went on for what felt like forever.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAMaFMefTL1y
The person stood and as her vision cleared. Maxwell.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAdm2M85oiqO
He kneeled down at her side.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAeYMRiHeUkI
"You will die when I say it's time."
852Please respect copyright.PENANA538p9tWqpM
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.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAQWUiVxorRR
Trying but unable to move. So tired, let me go.
852Please respect copyright.PENANAe1U1oFfduU
Maxwell crouched down and picked her up and carried her behind the building. 852Please respect copyright.PENANAiRWePGsfEt
