She lay on the rubble laced floor in a slowly expanding pool of her own blood with nothing but large pieces of the wall surrounding her and a small broken goddess crouched down next to her. Her thoughts were everywhere but there was one main concern that bothered her the most. No, it wasn't her own health but it was the health, safety and well being of the beautiful blonde crouched next to her who was trying to stop the bleeding.

"Y-Ymir… You'll be fine, okay?"

"Christa… Stop. Stop pretending… That it's going to… Be fine…"

"It's going to! I know it is! I promise you!

Ymir was weak but she still managed to chuckle loudly.

"That's one of the many things I love about you. You always seem so positive and happy no matter what the situation. I'm going to miss you…"

"You're going to mi… NO! NO! No, that's not going to happen! They'll arrive soon, they'll fix you, you'll be fine!"

"Christa, I'm not healing. I'm obviously dying. Don't tell me I'll live when obviously I won't."

"No… I… Ym…"

Ymir struggled but slowly lifted her crimson stained hand to cup Christa's cheek.

"Let go."

"But…"

"Let go… Okay?"

"No… I…"

"This will be much easier for both of us if you just let go."

The sound of tears hitting blood filled the silence. But they weren't Christa's tears. They were Ymir's.

"Funny… thing actually…"
She struggled to speak through sobs.
"…I actually knew I'd die this way… I actually hoped I'd die this way."

Christa was confused.

"Huh? I… Don't understand…"

"I wanted to die protecting you because I know then that I died for something important… For something I love… For something that means more to me than life itself."

There was a pause. Christa stared at the ground in silence. The only sound that could be heard was her and Ymir's heavy breathing. Then once again the sound of tears hitting blood filled the silence.

"Ymir… I… I want you to know that… That I…" Before she could finish she realized something. Ymir's eyes were closed and the sound of her breathing could no longer be heard.

"Ymir…? Ymir…?! YMIR?!"

Her ocean blue eyes grew wide and the pace of her heartbeat raised rapidly. The only thing she kept thinking was "NO THIS ISNT HAPPENING!"

"C'mon Ymir, wake up, okay? They'll be here soon and they'll fix you. Come on. Please! Wake up! Open your eyes! Please! Please! Don't leave me!"

In the distance the sound of galloping could be heard and Christa would be cheering if she wasn't too busy trying to wake Ymir up.

"Wake up okay! They're here! You'll be fine! You'll…" She stopped mid sentence, suddenly feeling light headed and dizzy. She could feel it and knew she was going to pass out any second now. The last thing she saw before her head hit the ground was a flare being shot in to the sky.
