Chapter 6
The breach was sealed, and the group was back in Haven. People celebrating, dancing and laughing. Enjoying the win.
Lights in the distance. So many lights. Attack on Haven, red Templars and horrors.
A demon-god, and a dragon.
So much death. CJ tried. She tried so hard, saved Lysette and Seggrit. Adan and Minueave. Not Mindy or Jonas. Humphrey. Karl. Bessy. Tolly. Mira. Anisa. So many innocent people she failed to save. Screams. Screams of the dying. Of the injured and terrified. Children crying for parents who didn't answer. CJ not moving fast enough, a child caught in a blast of fire. The explosion threw CJ back, slamming her into the ground. His screams echoing in her soul.
The strange boy, Cole, showing them a way out, CJ refusing to leave Talon. No way in hell was she going to let him face these monsters without her.
Fighting, fighting so hard to reach the trebuchet, to launch one final attack. Sword wounds, dagger to the side, several hits on her helmet that left her ears ringing. CJ shook them all off. Templar grabbed her by her throat, lifting her in the air, fire appearing around his hand, burning her skin. CJ cut his hand off and then slit his throat.
A monster. What was that monster, which used to be a man?
Talon telling them to run. To clear out. He'd be right behind them. CJ refusing, yelling. She would not lose him as well. Pain, a sharp pain in her head, and all was black.
