One request: please don't kill me.
There was a scream in the night. There was blood splattered. Then, there was fire. Everywhere.
Rollan wasted no time to get up. The enemies have reached them. It took him long enough to realize that, already.
He drew his dagger up, just in time to catch a huge conqueror and stab him. He called up Essix from dormant and went to join the others. He ran as fast as his legs could ever carry him.
Halfway, a conqueror swiped his saber at Rollan. Shane. It must be Shane. Rollan dodged and kicked him in his middle. Shane jumped and fell. Rollan ran as fast as he could to Conor. He swung his dagger at some conquerors on the way.
"Rollan? Is that your mother?" asked Conor, pointing to the conquerors.
Yes. That was Aidana. That was definitely her.
Rollan ran towards her, not even thinking about what he was doing.
Some liquid rolled down his back. Blood. Someone stabbed him in the back. He turned to see Shane's smile. The devourer had killed him. He screamed, and then fell down. The pain reached across his chest. He couldn't breathe.
And it didn't matter, he was ending.
Essix screeched and dove for him. She covered her wings on his blood.
He heard someone else scream. Meilin. Her footsteps echoed across the vast space as Rollan's vision fade to the ground.
"Goodbye Essix." He managed to say. "I hope that you will always remember me."
Essix screeched again and that was the last thing Rollan heard.
He belonged to the stars now.
Alicio will be very mad if you try to kill her. I just wanted to make this tragic story. I know, I'm not the best writer so it might be a bit cheesy but yeah. First tragic story. Pls review. And thank you so much for all the reviews on aftershock.
