Somewhere else....
"They're almost here to find out the truth," The figure said, clearly mourning. "Alas, it shall be sad in the end."
"But Madame," Another figure said, having the voice of a boy. "She will make it. I absolutely know it!"
"Have you developed softness instead of no mercy?" The figure asked, sneering at the thought. "No! We shall wait and see."
Ally
I stopped at the border where trees turned into bare, black trees carrying soot and ash. I took a deep breath, feeling heat.
"We're getting closer." Will pointed up at the distance, where a volcano full of Unborne, towered over.
"And soon we'll know if Ally will die or gain eternal life." Keesa replied in a tiny voice.
I could only nod, then checked my marking. It kind of looked like a '❂' overlapping an eye that was halfway 'open'.
"Only 12 more hours until it's your doom." Will said, shaking his head. "Don't panic."
"I promise." I could only reply.
We continued to run through the fiery forest. I touched the black bark, and suddenly felt a new burst of energy. Suddenly, I got extremely thirsty. At the very end of the trail there was a giant white glass flower with a golden tree sapling, dangling a pearl. It was filled up with cleansed water, making me get thirstier even more.
"Water!" Will gasped, and he went after it, followed by Keesa. Then, a strange trance came over me, and I ran after them.
You'll have to pay for what you do. I heard the phoenix say.
I didn't bother listening. I was so thirsty! I just needed one little sip; just one lick of water.
Keesa and Will loaded their mouths with water, and after satisfaction, they happily rested their feet. Suddenly, they saw me charging at the water, and their eyes suddenly brightened as if they were broken from a spell.
"NO, ALLY! DON'T!" I heard Keesa say.
She tried to block me, but I was catching on fire from my longing. Then, I dived into the water, and felt instant pain.
"You're a human form of fire!" Keesa said. "You've touched water! You'll die!"
I reached the surface, and paddled towards the ground. I felt like I was out of the spell, but my breathing grew ragged and raspy.
Will lifted me out of the water, and Keesa left to grab branches on fire.
You now have to do the consequences.
I slowly lost consciousness, but Will kept shaking me.
"No Ally, no!" Will's eyes filled up with tears, but not from the fact I was going to go 'extinguish', but because we came all this way for nothing, and that the Unborne will never be stopped for another million years. The people will be murdered, and all because of my greed for water. I was too dumb enough to know that even under spells, I had to know I couldn't touch water.
"Ally!" Keesa said, and threw the fiery branches right onto me, the water drying up. But, water had soaked into my body, and we couldn't get it out unless I pricked myself.
That was it!
I sat up as fast as I could, and took a sharp branch. I let the sharp edge go into my skin, and took it out fast enough so that I couldn't add any more pain.
Water seeped out mixing with blood, and it was kinda like squeezing water out of a sponge. I pricked myself again, and felt myself relax more.
"Ally. You're going suicidal." Keesa said, and ripped out a piece of her sleeve then tied it around my arm.
"We have to take as much rest as she could until Ally recovers." Will told Keesa, as I slowly closed my eyes for rest.
"I know! But like you said, it'll take 12 hours before her doom. It'll take like 10 hours before full recovery." Keesa said.
I heard a pause, and felt as if Will was thinking really hard. "Then, that's it. I'll just have to try and kill as much demons as I can, and then Ally would recover on the way up without worrying to fight anyone."
"Will, as much as I hate your guts, you can't die!" I heard Keesa say. "You're like the last of the Samton's! Your brother is dead, your mother and father are either dead or an Unborne, and then you'll die too?"
There was another pause.
"I don't care. All we need is Ally alive!" Will said, and that's when I fully fell asleep.
