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!
793Please respect copyright.PENANAhXhrTbX0EG
She stepped over to the door, jostling the handle. The handle wavered became hazy and vanished. That was cruel.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAA1hem8qpN7
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!
793Please respect copyright.PENANAvr2c8S9Zpl
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAuh5TBtOiQr
She reached for a long one behind her back and looked at it. The bumps unfurled into leaves that split down the middle.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAyt8w5RSQlQ
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAkEMEw0VI8p
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA21HgvsKEcx
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANApDOmSAwu3C
I ...
793Please respect copyright.PENANADDAQMRjGQG
...
793Please respect copyright.PENANAANTLjQLD6r
Ordain it.
793Please respect copyright.PENANARl9y5inrgv
A mental hold snapped.
793Please respect copyright.PENANArWfZpZrLK6
She shrieked along with the vines until her breath ran out. And then screamed, repeatedly. She dropped on her stomach gulping in deep breaths.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAN0wvQtphX8
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAE8ezUlMY6g
You lie.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA6UEWlh3YJy
You're not scared of what will happen, you're scared what I say is true.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAEz91NQYF0g
She stiffened, you are wrong, I will keep fighting you no matter how long it takes.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAn2uZg1GZcy
The god growled in her mind. You can't even save yourself or your friends. Pathetic.
793Please respect copyright.PENANACCE55qc6kv
I tricked you once didn't I?
793Please respect copyright.PENANAlySAan6sKr
Never again. The god pulled back inside; smoldering.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA47pHN4mKPj
A dark crackling of energy appeared near the door, it became wider and Maxwell stepped into the room.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAC5WWhxmAqP
"Time to go."
793Please respect copyright.PENANAbKm7mfeVM7
His rough hand grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Now what?
793Please respect copyright.PENANAfa71SLktJN
"Come. It is time," he said.
793Please respect copyright.PENANANOUTA7utcS
She leaned away from him. With her free hand started to pull out a dagger.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAbGVR8xb8nJ
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAI52rnciXxP
"Move!" He pulled and jerked her towards the portal by the door.
793Please respect copyright.PENANASEFtTzowi7
The portal. Wait.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA5PoTY2j3Tc
"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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA7XrDesYfhC
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAzzuOt2gd00
Rushing towards the window at the end of the room her, she jumped onto the thin windowsill balancing there.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAufETh6Zouo
"I don't believe this-" He ran down the tower, passing by the outer windows.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAsVw3pBBmZ6
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!
793Please respect copyright.PENANA3VrPscvUyq
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA3K68BYLUIc
The edge of the roof cracked and crumbled away. Oh, come on!
793Please respect copyright.PENANAb3UpqjVpUd
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA7dkBDRsDDU
She rolled over while failing. The details of the ground cleared and grew larger.
793Please respect copyright.PENANALw1ziLeNoT
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA0PGzmr984l
"You take the last hope with you!"
793Please respect copyright.PENANA06p2ogoxvc
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAIFTkAdZV21
Why?
793Please respect copyright.PENANANJSbT261xK
Told you I'm not done.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA57qn9S1hff
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAJCKFMjQax8
Maxwell spotted her as he crossed through the portal. With inhuman speed, he rushed over and struck her across the face.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAW0dXaDh7IZ
Merryn flew over two hundred feet way, smashing into a large pinnacle tree.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAMmN1wMpfwE
"I warned you."
793Please respect copyright.PENANAKfgcQar7kM
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA8qo5cm8h2R
Flashbacks of what happened with Maxwell hit her unrelenting. Not Unnamed. Calm have to-
793Please respect copyright.PENANAPEraa4unBw
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA3oScdKIa0D
Not I, control yourself!
793Please respect copyright.PENANANKmdaLIhjJ
Sweat drenched her clothing and she shivered. The burning intensified down to the marrow. She collapsed to her knees, still screaming.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAip6iFCS72J
We will die!
793Please respect copyright.PENANA5zqIwmeFav
I don't care all I want ... now is ... is chunks of his flesh in my hands!
793Please respect copyright.PENANAhwir51BeS5
Maxwell held his hands over his ears, unable to move, stunned. Her screams continued and smashed into his chest, pushing him back.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAehuGlqHgKu
She stood. All emotions faded, but one. The burning from within that bubbled to the surface like a poison.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA9veN9x9i2q
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAf4gr9cqgO9
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cl5xPImO8
His lip furled, then he gritted his teeth as he came closer.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA1c7yQ0YT3H
"I make no promises."
793Please respect copyright.PENANA1H8HZ0K6I0
"Do it already. Just remember you caused it this time."
793Please respect copyright.PENANAvNUZcTZ0eJ
He bent down towards her, his face smooth and unreadable. "Yes, quite."
793Please respect copyright.PENANACFbSi047O4
A tear streamed down her face, it dropped onto the palm of her hand, crystallizing, damn it. Hurry.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAW0yZlafloe
"I'd rather be your prisoner then have this happen, hurry damn it!"
793Please respect copyright.PENANAWTDxqsQQ7p
He broke into a run his gaze on the crystal.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAdz26oYx6qK
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAQwbwtTeklP
She strained to push the arms back, they wouldn't listen.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAhWIbsGFgoG
As if each arm was being pushed from under by an unseen spirit. Will alone wasn't enough.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAW0I4gBewyb
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAQCOmDmQjYS
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?
793Please respect copyright.PENANAgi3mXOSIT4
Maxwell worked over real slow. The light washed out parts of his face while the rest stayed in shadow.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA6GE1mkfZBk
Not much time left.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAUcSzdiFjBk
"End it." Her tone was faint, less than a whisper and tinged with an underlying chime.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAxNLtcOQYQO
"I thought I'd enjoy this more, the necessity of this takes from that."
793Please respect copyright.PENANAglDdAnmkxY
His lips thinned as he gripped the sword in both hands and swing it at her.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAnYfepJmvJV
He turned to the side at the last second and rammed it in deep into her side.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAFqw8vFy1j7
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?
793Please respect copyright.PENANAUnidoqU5QE
He went over to where the crystal laid picked it up and put it into a pouch.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA26OYJSX8Gz
He stood over her, his features smooth and flat.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAJCSRmgwGgu
Her vision grayed out and his features became a hazy blob.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAxFhD1DfgfW

793Please respect copyright.PENANAnvWhdzgxCF
793Please respect copyright.PENANAw4PMyugRUo
793Please respect copyright.PENANA5FutgP6Ace
An unknown time later she felt something slamming into her chest and she gasped. Her chest was heavy and cold.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA1d8csD4SmC
Another slam.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAknwv7Hj2An
A grayed out forum stood over her. His arms were raised up with a ball of ice floating in between them.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAw19YkgRfBI
He tossed and it slammed into her chest before spreading out and down like tiny knives.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAB6RQpPsCZ9
Live. Die. Just make it stop. This went on for what felt like forever.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAB2sSXvYJxP
The person stood and as her vision cleared. Maxwell.
793Please respect copyright.PENANACrQQgkb5ux
He kneeled down at her side.
793Please respect copyright.PENANAJId0GdAQmV
"You will die when I say it's time."
793Please respect copyright.PENANAacLkycoQ3b
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.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA5o9guifD75
Trying but unable to move. So tired, let me go.
793Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kb5FsZe9g
Maxwell crouched down and picked her up and carried her behind the building. 793Please respect copyright.PENANA2hAcDzoD4w
