"In the Mirror and Out Again"
Her right eye was killing her and her body was aching most furiously as she half staggered away from the besieged palace. Clutching her injured side, her arm hung dead at her side and she was quickly losing feeling and movement in her leg. Her comrades were just as battered if not worse. The bag on her back was heavy, its strap digging into her already painful shoulders. All four of them dragged their dying bodies to the treasure chamber and pushed their dwindling life forces to carry them to the vault at the back of the chamber.
She used everything she physically had to open the vault then haul it open. Her strenuous movements worsened her condition but it didn't matter. As long as they escaped, their Kingdom would live on. It was impossible for her to survive another fallen royal reign but yet…
"How are we going to get out? There's nothing but the condemned treasures in here." One of her comrades pointed out as she stuffed the already heavy bag with every treasure inside.
"That's exactly why we are in here. These can't fall into the enemy's hands. Countless other systems will fall to those bastards and I am not about to have more innocent blood on my hands." She told them, stuffing her glittering and powerful charges into her bag. "Stratos, help me-my other arm is dead. I can't do this with what little feeling and life I have in the other."
"Cronos, this-all of this isn't worth dying for." Stratos protested but helped none the less.
"The enemy seems to think otherwise, my friend." Cronos reached for a silver box. "Gah!" her side opened up more and pain racked her body. "Damn it…I can't give up…not now."
"Cronos, Stratos-hurry!" One of the remaining two warned, watching the chamber door through the vault's gapped door. Cronos pulled a bloodied crystal from under her armor.
Stratos knew that crystal all too well. "Cro, you can't be serious…that much power to transport you alone could sign your gravestone!"
"Then I die for my comrades and friends. As long as some of us live, our Kingdom will continue to exist. Either way, I'm getting you and these treasures out of here." Cronos gripped the crystal with her remaining living hand the best she could and channeled energy to it. Her light got the other two's attention. They realized what she was doing. "Give them hell for me on the other side. I'll be waiting for back up but don't die too soon or this effort is pointless. I wish you all a safe journey. Hades, Thetas, Stratos-it's been a blast working with you but it's time for this convict to pay her dues." Cronos gave them all a happy smile, like she did in the near forgotten past so long ago. "I'll miss you all. Good bye."
"Cronos!" Thetas cried. Hades reached for her.
"Don't be an idiot!" She tearfully spat.
"Farewell…I wish you all a safe and speedy journey."
FINALLY! I finally got to post this!
