The flash of light disappears, my skin on fire. Lightning flashes, it's sharp body zipping above in the dark clouds. A loud whining in my ears, my vision blurry. Most of my muscles, already exhausted, stop working, I lose flight. I begin to fall, my back facing the corrupted earth below. I can't feel my left arm, parts of my chest burning to charred flesh. My wings flap limply above me, smoke trailing from ember feathers. The massive tyrant roars, it's exposed ribs vibrating intensely. It's minions below shriek in approval, their claws and teeth waiting to catch me, tear me apart. I plummet, losing grip of my sword. Wind whips my hair around, pieces of my armor detach, I'm losing consciousness. My lungs twitch, losing air. My mouth hangs open, I taste blood. My eyes start to roll into the back of my head, my heart failing. Is this; how I die? I have much more, I need to stay awake. I fight, I've come so far. The edges of my mind corrode away, images flash past of everyone, smiling faces, false hopes, forgotten fears. But it was short, torn away like a child from their mother. Someone screams my name, but it's drowned out by the hum of utter silence. The tyrant opens its mouth, a snakelike tongue springs out. It rushes through the sky, reaching out for me. I feel it, warm and wet, the smell of blood. It grips hard, I feel my body get yanked. Goodbye everyone, I won't be here for it, but I hope you will all survive. I voluntarily close my eyes, my last chances of living taken away. I accept my fate. I don't. A voice, loud and present. What?

I gasp, my body firing alive. Muscles work together, lifting my torso up. My hands reach out, bracing for a fall. They land on soft grass, I freeze. I take a few seconds to stay sitting up, my mind blurry. I can't remember anything, a light breeze whips at colorful and vibrant flowers. Clouds, white and fluffy, roll in the blue sky overhead. Distant mountains littered with trees and waterfalls line the horizon, the sun high in the sky. My mouth feels parched, like it was open. My body aches, I feel a small bug crawl over my fingers. A white bunny hops by, stopping to look at me. If sniffs, it's black eyes large and soulless. It's ears rear back, it jumps away. I watch it go, not hearing the footsteps behind me. It hops into a bush, the leaves rustle as it squished itself under branches. Black shoes stop, a voice speaks out. "Hey." My body stiffens, I whip my head around. The sun partially blinds me, I squint. A silhouette stands, the outline of a person. He kneels over, blocking the sun out. A bow and quiver resting on his back, a satchel full of strange colored mushrooms attached to his side. Blue jeans, and olive shirt. Brown hair, a worried face. "What are you doing sleeping out here?" I take a second to look around, the rabbit takes it chance to escape, it's white fur waving in the wind as it bounds away. "Hey, are you ok?" My mouth opens, still a little dry. "I." I think of the words to use, but I don't know what to say. "I don't know."
