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!
811Please respect copyright.PENANAXMELNuLdZP
She stepped over to the door, jostling the handle. The handle wavered became hazy and vanished. That was cruel.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA2fl2FFAJbV
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!
811Please respect copyright.PENANATEX960zk0x
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA1hjpR1pU9s
She reached for a long one behind her back and looked at it. The bumps unfurled into leaves that split down the middle.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAVCvNeooJiA
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAtSdjwRYcAr
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAPXhSZsB9jf
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAaaIkFXbFVo
I ...
811Please respect copyright.PENANA7QAGEAzP1N
...
811Please respect copyright.PENANAy7RhNkKBhD
Ordain it.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAheKLpJ2bRz
A mental hold snapped.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA68HPaEUkN0
She shrieked along with the vines until her breath ran out. And then screamed, repeatedly. She dropped on her stomach gulping in deep breaths.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAEcr9ncEVe7
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAoSqmFo1PIx
You lie.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA7DqpemWxhz
You're not scared of what will happen, you're scared what I say is true.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA41HfepZL9N
She stiffened, you are wrong, I will keep fighting you no matter how long it takes.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAQvxikpOl5H
The god growled in her mind. You can't even save yourself or your friends. Pathetic.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA5c32Sg6ceo
I tricked you once didn't I?
811Please respect copyright.PENANAvwfxijchK0
Never again. The god pulled back inside; smoldering.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAXEHiRanzzE
A dark crackling of energy appeared near the door, it became wider and Maxwell stepped into the room.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAIBf7xx1MpF
"Time to go."
811Please respect copyright.PENANAHESu5mnUgT
His rough hand grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Now what?
811Please respect copyright.PENANA8ComQWdKZ4
"Come. It is time," he said.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAcQw3svigrj
She leaned away from him. With her free hand started to pull out a dagger.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ50hqp9ne
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAEupyBJNRRC
"Move!" He pulled and jerked her towards the portal by the door.
811Please respect copyright.PENANASk8qz3QKuB
The portal. Wait.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA8xbasHZv6a
"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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA9OpqFuN4IQ
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAeIV2dn7MmO
Rushing towards the window at the end of the room her, she jumped onto the thin windowsill balancing there.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAK3VP3fZ4WC
"I don't believe this-" He ran down the tower, passing by the outer windows.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAEJXZ0sCUc0
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!
811Please respect copyright.PENANARpv3CKzvmp
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAhi7AjlzKEv
The edge of the roof cracked and crumbled away. Oh, come on!
811Please respect copyright.PENANAG2qEZHfZZf
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAzDbzPQgFyJ
She rolled over while failing. The details of the ground cleared and grew larger.
811Please respect copyright.PENANASfRkSoXgK2
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANASJxMlO8GbV
"You take the last hope with you!"
811Please respect copyright.PENANAvPiJQjO8cU
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAteCwmjNfTN
Why?
811Please respect copyright.PENANA8gWqix5jhJ
Told you I'm not done.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAT0k7INjXYW
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAnn9HR14Exe
Maxwell spotted her as he crossed through the portal. With inhuman speed, he rushed over and struck her across the face.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAJjJiiCRWUp
Merryn flew over two hundred feet way, smashing into a large pinnacle tree.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAA5X1uiXr05
"I warned you."
811Please respect copyright.PENANAJEzoihx8WM
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAxBK40MCOqn
Flashbacks of what happened with Maxwell hit her unrelenting. Not Unnamed. Calm have to-
811Please respect copyright.PENANAv7WWFJBr86
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANArJLkWWVx6c
Not I, control yourself!
811Please respect copyright.PENANAeSFCuZoplo
Sweat drenched her clothing and she shivered. The burning intensified down to the marrow. She collapsed to her knees, still screaming.
811Please respect copyright.PENANALioMthW21n
We will die!
811Please respect copyright.PENANA0gUU8iv47i
I don't care all I want ... now is ... is chunks of his flesh in my hands!
811Please respect copyright.PENANAeiOquHcBzr
Maxwell held his hands over his ears, unable to move, stunned. Her screams continued and smashed into his chest, pushing him back.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAlDEb67w3xZ
She stood. All emotions faded, but one. The burning from within that bubbled to the surface like a poison.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAmnR8wtBUXT
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAVZiOzQWHjH
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5kHaM7RtV
His lip furled, then he gritted his teeth as he came closer.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAHlWdDJvBET
"I make no promises."
811Please respect copyright.PENANAh8zTmckSav
"Do it already. Just remember you caused it this time."
811Please respect copyright.PENANAeL99tLdcmD
He bent down towards her, his face smooth and unreadable. "Yes, quite."
811Please respect copyright.PENANAFEJ1SGwsgs
A tear streamed down her face, it dropped onto the palm of her hand, crystallizing, damn it. Hurry.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAdSnCg5JiKG
"I'd rather be your prisoner then have this happen, hurry damn it!"
811Please respect copyright.PENANAucEoOiM50Z
He broke into a run his gaze on the crystal.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAIAzDaZVGkx
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAsX2Fei8uYo
She strained to push the arms back, they wouldn't listen.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAD1TQ9fsvsS
As if each arm was being pushed from under by an unseen spirit. Will alone wasn't enough.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA8kzIY0sYS1
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAlNsOvnZht8
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?
811Please respect copyright.PENANA0noWfgAOmB
Maxwell worked over real slow. The light washed out parts of his face while the rest stayed in shadow.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAWjcmD7ayBU
Not much time left.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA3oo0AWRb7t
"End it." Her tone was faint, less than a whisper and tinged with an underlying chime.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAv0ivvDpH0K
"I thought I'd enjoy this more, the necessity of this takes from that."
811Please respect copyright.PENANA4IOZOrdn54
His lips thinned as he gripped the sword in both hands and swing it at her.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAb15xnqNDjK
He turned to the side at the last second and rammed it in deep into her side.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAPNnzVHlkzM
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?
811Please respect copyright.PENANA1gP4P5Mq3W
He went over to where the crystal laid picked it up and put it into a pouch.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAuqJ5ZoPLAW
He stood over her, his features smooth and flat.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAboOTVROOAp
Her vision grayed out and his features became a hazy blob.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAia5CKyuTkq

811Please respect copyright.PENANAfCl0w6G87e
811Please respect copyright.PENANA1EkMavrsYB
811Please respect copyright.PENANAoUlHTBtSdL
An unknown time later she felt something slamming into her chest and she gasped. Her chest was heavy and cold.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAmUBBhEzOOj
Another slam.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAIEHgIQfw5g
A grayed out forum stood over her. His arms were raised up with a ball of ice floating in between them.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAoLiniyx8if
He tossed and it slammed into her chest before spreading out and down like tiny knives.
811Please respect copyright.PENANABhS7cpqLa3
Live. Die. Just make it stop. This went on for what felt like forever.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAZHGRSneqPR
The person stood and as her vision cleared. Maxwell.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAQWCIf4Rt0F
He kneeled down at her side.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAdKPB3MPcM4
"You will die when I say it's time."
811Please respect copyright.PENANAsn2ZcvuwVm
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.
811Please respect copyright.PENANA4h4LBOdxs9
Trying but unable to move. So tired, let me go.
811Please respect copyright.PENANAnwY2HOjT2z
Maxwell crouched down and picked her up and carried her behind the building. 811Please respect copyright.PENANACzxSlPetsY
