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!
611Please respect copyright.PENANAV27eo1jRLr
She stepped over to the door, jostling the handle. The handle wavered became hazy and vanished. That was cruel.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAlk1lYyHx7a
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!
611Please respect copyright.PENANAoS8o0xlm2g
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAfJFSQ5XPgH
She reached for a long one behind her back and looked at it. The bumps unfurled into leaves that split down the middle.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAmYuBfC7vfj
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAo6K5QiPvjh
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANA4aCVt5IuWm
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAiEc5LLfleP
I ...
611Please respect copyright.PENANAWQf0uOqrLK
...
611Please respect copyright.PENANAm7aODE4Ant
Ordain it.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAE2Exs5YDee
A mental hold snapped.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAcYo1KDqn26
She shrieked along with the vines until her breath ran out. And then screamed, repeatedly. She dropped on her stomach gulping in deep breaths.
611Please respect copyright.PENANA5WQK3m3hEG
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAvxBtw8nfTp
You lie.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAOa4cDZnKxh
You're not scared of what will happen, you're scared what I say is true.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAvhQZI2c3bZ
She stiffened, you are wrong, I will keep fighting you no matter how long it takes.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAmIAVUmL7Vd
The god growled in her mind. You can't even save yourself or your friends. Pathetic.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAzJinIrRB6e
I tricked you once didn't I?
611Please respect copyright.PENANAzxeFZaHxW9
Never again. The god pulled back inside; smoldering.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAUbsySOZnDF
A dark crackling of energy appeared near the door, it became wider and Maxwell stepped into the room.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAzAm3uICFRm
"Time to go."
611Please respect copyright.PENANAHQZoOwLI9O
His rough hand grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Now what?
611Please respect copyright.PENANAddQljjW4Jq
"Come. It is time," he said.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAbjoD6f8n09
She leaned away from him. With her free hand started to pull out a dagger.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAhUAFiiqiKg
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANA6fR953lENS
"Move!" He pulled and jerked her towards the portal by the door.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAv6qJXKDowp
The portal. Wait.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAxVLvtxttyC
"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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAfTjDmv3JQu
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAFApcru7Bec
Rushing towards the window at the end of the room her, she jumped onto the thin windowsill balancing there.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAM7NhlPFAJT
"I don't believe this-" He ran down the tower, passing by the outer windows.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAdJT6vbsX2p
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!
611Please respect copyright.PENANABfJ0mpLy67
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAiTIdSOBifG
The edge of the roof cracked and crumbled away. Oh, come on!
611Please respect copyright.PENANAA6bxC4sFdH
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANABXKt56qJx7
She rolled over while failing. The details of the ground cleared and grew larger.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAG6viae5c9G
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAHc65mMMCuC
"You take the last hope with you!"
611Please respect copyright.PENANArIW8JByz9p
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAyupy9bfXnT
Why?
611Please respect copyright.PENANAgsa56f5RQm
Told you I'm not done.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAnPUZAYh6c3
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAOlROUCr8Vk
Maxwell spotted her as he crossed through the portal. With inhuman speed, he rushed over and struck her across the face.
611Please respect copyright.PENANArD6UNlCC1H
Merryn flew over two hundred feet way, smashing into a large pinnacle tree.
611Please respect copyright.PENANA2kqLIvIJHz
"I warned you."
611Please respect copyright.PENANAaL21E2TYGs
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAwsQavnxWjL
Flashbacks of what happened with Maxwell hit her unrelenting. Not Unnamed. Calm have to-
611Please respect copyright.PENANAFVy2005ZDE
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAAy3lvzgc24
Not I, control yourself!
611Please respect copyright.PENANAJdaI3813Xg
Sweat drenched her clothing and she shivered. The burning intensified down to the marrow. She collapsed to her knees, still screaming.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAKsX3SjZoGl
We will die!
611Please respect copyright.PENANAZIf31iOpHN
I don't care all I want ... now is ... is chunks of his flesh in my hands!
611Please respect copyright.PENANAshGB6k8DQ6
Maxwell held his hands over his ears, unable to move, stunned. Her screams continued and smashed into his chest, pushing him back.
611Please respect copyright.PENANA4NVMpVd5e6
She stood. All emotions faded, but one. The burning from within that bubbled to the surface like a poison.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAX3jcsoDJCf
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANALUHtmOpflP
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAgzrpHokny1
His lip furled, then he gritted his teeth as he came closer.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAWfAC7WdWK5
"I make no promises."
611Please respect copyright.PENANADJ1yDg4YDl
"Do it already. Just remember you caused it this time."
611Please respect copyright.PENANAfII2070LLf
He bent down towards her, his face smooth and unreadable. "Yes, quite."
611Please respect copyright.PENANANojFC7UOak
A tear streamed down her face, it dropped onto the palm of her hand, crystallizing, damn it. Hurry.
611Please respect copyright.PENANA8F7KPB3zKn
"I'd rather be your prisoner then have this happen, hurry damn it!"
611Please respect copyright.PENANADqbW8l5wRn
He broke into a run his gaze on the crystal.
611Please respect copyright.PENANASKcfG70BON
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAkscfMctxNy
She strained to push the arms back, they wouldn't listen.
611Please respect copyright.PENANA6Iw6BwdDQa
As if each arm was being pushed from under by an unseen spirit. Will alone wasn't enough.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAscYtzkhu4n
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAJQE71ExpNH
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?
611Please respect copyright.PENANACk8xeqWzjJ
Maxwell worked over real slow. The light washed out parts of his face while the rest stayed in shadow.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAUDdKG5mdP6
Not much time left.
611Please respect copyright.PENANA4YTbMMtqhN
"End it." Her tone was faint, less than a whisper and tinged with an underlying chime.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAsWLijiFK6R
"I thought I'd enjoy this more, the necessity of this takes from that."
611Please respect copyright.PENANAcLogNbi4X3
His lips thinned as he gripped the sword in both hands and swing it at her.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAgDSaINhsCs
He turned to the side at the last second and rammed it in deep into her side.
611Please respect copyright.PENANACxOuD8zfj1
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?
611Please respect copyright.PENANAfCNqEUSjBl
He went over to where the crystal laid picked it up and put it into a pouch.
611Please respect copyright.PENANA1VWWYnN0Kq
He stood over her, his features smooth and flat.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAm9vKzeCa4c
Her vision grayed out and his features became a hazy blob.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAonkYKLiCHc

611Please respect copyright.PENANAMlaItdEQcs
611Please respect copyright.PENANAFRHOQpOO78
611Please respect copyright.PENANArYzq5i6Vgc
An unknown time later she felt something slamming into her chest and she gasped. Her chest was heavy and cold.
611Please respect copyright.PENANA7EUKGyXTC3
Another slam.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAKW2EhCU9Ud
A grayed out forum stood over her. His arms were raised up with a ball of ice floating in between them.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAxjZJC36goa
He tossed and it slammed into her chest before spreading out and down like tiny knives.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAZUpldQwIen
Live. Die. Just make it stop. This went on for what felt like forever.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAuLSc8XMXuR
The person stood and as her vision cleared. Maxwell.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ1Mngysq3
He kneeled down at her side.
611Please respect copyright.PENANALf6PRcaiCx
"You will die when I say it's time."
611Please respect copyright.PENANA3jyX9xNPQo
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.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAIDreBtoRcX
Trying but unable to move. So tired, let me go.
611Please respect copyright.PENANAEUhhHAm0az
Maxwell crouched down and picked her up and carried her behind the building. 611Please respect copyright.PENANAK1wC1GC18z
