My strength had still not returned to teleport to Valkyrie, so my only option was running. And run I did. I was always an alright runner at school, but now wasn't a little competition and I was gasping for breath, but I kept going. It was a matter of saving a friend who needed me and who I needed.
I ran to a clearing close to the forest, but suddenly stopped. A Faceless One was running fast. It stopped and looked down, then lifted its hand. Slowly.
'Who's it aiming at? And why did it stop? Maybe Val. Did find the sceptre and is aiming at the faceless dude. Yeah that's it! Its gotta be and it's the only good thing that can happen right now. Nice one Val!'
Black lightening shot towards it causing such an ear-splitting, inhuman shriek of pain. I almost felt pity for the destructive god. The skin was doing something I couldn't see from here, but it looked like it was moving. Then it stopped and turned to dust.
