"Run" I yelled
But Lissa wasn't having any of it and stood her ground. The guardians began to approach us and I decided I was going to have to fight. I knew that I would likely loose but I had to protect Lissa at all costs or die trying. I took out the first 2 guardians with ease. Then I noticed that it was a distraction they clearly just wanted to distract me so that the other guardians could surround me. I punched one in the face before realizing that obviously I was just going to be overpowered. So I did something I promised myself I'd never do... I accepted it.
The guardian ahead of me looked at little confused as I was surrendering but still standing my ground in front of Lissa.
'Will you take care of her, keep her safe? '
' I will' he replied softly.
I took that as my cue to allow my body to fall unconscious and to give my mind permission to wander.
