AND: Here's the next chapter I promised. Hope you all like.

The Elon queen turned her eyes to the heavens. The silver disc hung like a beacon in the shadows of the night. The fighting had lasted throughout the day, and soldiers had made their way to fighting by firelight and explosions.
"The Mother," Lista whispered and turned to look at her own mother.
"We need to get out of here," the Elon ruler said and made the motion for a retreat, leaving the Earth to fend off the invaders for themselves.
They're leaving? Why? What could be causing this? They're leaving the Earther soldiers to die! Eva thought as she "watched" the battle from her connection to the ground. A heavy weight settled on her shoulders. She knew that the Crog would not stop for the Earthers would not stop. She had to act quickly.
First she relaxed her hold on the earth and tried a long distance summoning. It was tough, but she could do it. Slowly, a misty wolf appeared on the battlefield and took on physical form. A long soulful howl filled the air. Every Elysian backed away from the Earthers, who were now scared half to death from lack of allies and the big wolf appearing out of no where.
"Return to your worlds. The treat has passed. They are fleeing. Let there be no more loss of life tonight because of your arrogance," Alistar said. The Naurasians and Elysian backed off immediately. It only took a stare down from the great wolf to make the Crogs turn as well.
"What are you?" a brave Earther private said.
Alistar gave him a wolfish smile. "I am the before and beginning. I am Alistar of Elysian. I am the wolf guardian of war. I am your savior by the words of my mistress." She disappeared into mist after answering.
Within the safe room, all was quiet. Politicians looked on the monitors in shock. Their allies had abandoned them. Eva lay on the cold ground for a few moments more before sitting up and rubbing her eyes, as if she had been asleep.
"What's going on?" she whispered to Jordan.
"The Elon left us to die, but the Crog and their allies pulled out when the Elon did. No one's really sure why the Elon pulled out," Jordan whispered and stood up. He offered her a hand, which she stubbornly refused, and she stood up on her own.
Inside, Eva had become numb. It wasn't a new sensation to her. It happened after all of the battles she had been in. Shock at the brutality, shock at the death, and shock at what she had done. She would break down later, hopefully when she was on Elysian.
AND: Forgive me for this chapter. One, maybe two, chapters left for this story. I know I'm going to get questions, so if you even have a tiny, itty bitty question, go ahead and ask it. I'm thinking of making a forum just for the questions I know are out there about this series of mine.
