Ok, I made this out of mere whimsy. Yes, as you question my understanding of 'whimsy' as you read, do know that I am knowledgeable to it's definition. -.-' Heh, read on...

"Gemma!" I watched as Felicity yelled to Gemma, who was trapped between the claws of a Winter Lands monster and the green grass of the garden. The monster was huge and furry, like a dog, but with blood red hair, long talons that could easily slide through ten men at once, and teeth just as big, dripping with lethal poison. On top of that giant dog monster, holding its leather reins to control who it attacked, was none other than our once dear Pip.
"Kill her, kill the Most High! I want to see her blood, smell it, taste it!" Pippa yelled, using the whip in her other hand to lash out at the monster. But she needn't do that, the monster was very intent on killing the girl beneath his massive paw already.
"Ann, here, take the amulet! Take it and run!" Gemma screamed at me, throwing her amulet towards me. Fumbling clumsily, I caught it, just as one of the monster's talons slid straight though Gemma's ribs, piercing her heart. She screamed in agony, arching her back like a scared black cat. Then, her life left her, and she fell limp, her eyes eternally wide open, fear frozen in the green orbs.
"Gemma!" Kartik, whose first trip to the Realms was not going well, cried out for his lost lover and pulled out his sword, threatening to kill the monster and Pippa. But he never got a chance to, either, because another monster similar to the one that had killed Gemma leapt out from behind, grabbing Kartik in his teeth. One crunch and the monster could impale Kartik with his teeth. But that wasn't what scared Kartik. It was the man on top of the monster that was laughing ruthlessly. "Amar…"
"Say goodbye, little brother! Soon you'll be among our ranks with your dear English lover!" Amar whipped the monster, and it bit down into Kartik, injecting it's venom into his blood, as well as crushing his lungs painfully.
"Gemma…" Tears formed in his eyes as the pain refused to leave. The monster, disgusted with the Indian crushed in his teeth, tossed him away, and Kartik landed right beside Gemma's body. I watched, crying hysterically, as he inched towards her, laying his head on her chest and shuddering, taking his last breath. Life left his body, as well. I'm afraid Lucy couldn't top this tragedy right here.
The monster controlled by Amar turned to me and advanced. I backed away, looking to Felicity in desperation. No use. She was being confronted by Pippa and her monster, and couldn't fight back, for she was too stricken with grief and betrayal.
"Ann, run!" Felicity yelled at me, and she ran as well, straight towards Amar and his monster. I ran, too, but not towards Pippa. I ran away, heading for the Gorgon. I knew this amulet was important, and needed to be protected with my life, as well as the rest of the Order's.
I climbed aboard the serpent ship and told her to take me to the Philon. She obliged and started down the river. As we disappeared, I watched Felicity engage battle with both of the monsters. I watched as she made them both advance towards her, from opposite ways at a speed fast enough to kill anyone in their path. Then, she stepped out of the way, her arm grazed by one of Pippa's monster's poison-filled fangs. The two monsters crashed into one another, killing both them and their riders instantly.
But I knew, Felicity was dying, too. She had had the poison injected into her blood stream, and there was only a small amount of time before she, too, collapsed, lifeless.
"What has happened to Most High?" the Gorgon asked, her yellow eyes showing she already knew the answer. I sighed, a tear running down my sickly pale cheek.
"She left us, Gorgon. And I'm going to miss her so much…" More tears escaped, and soon, I was crying on the wooden bottom of the boat.
"So will I, Lady Song. So will I…"
