"Sh'ara!" Merry Merry and Leandrial both let out a horrified scream as their sister collapsed to the ground. Blood and bile spilling onto the ground.

Leandrial quickly rushed to her side, a potion in her hands as she treated their sister. Merry Merry would've tried to do the same, but...

"Gah!" She let out a grunt as a fist smashed into her chest. Her already damaged exoskeleton shattering fully by the attack.

The creature didn't even give her a second thought as it turned and charged towards Leandrial and Sh'ara.

Merry Merry watched in horror as the creature shot forward. Hand raised, it swung at Leandrial so fast she couldn't see the attack. But she did see the results.

Leandrial grunted as the fist smashed through her stomach. Tearing a hole clean through. Her armor having done nothing to stop the attack.

Her sister let out a gasp of pain, blood bubbling out of her mouth, the creature seemed to smile before pulling out. With a sick twist and slosh. The fist came out and her sister fell to the ground.

Her body in the fetal position, cradling her wound. Her hands futilely attempting to stop the bleeding before she lost consciousness.

Merry Merry didn't give the creature another second to attack. Letting out a roar of challenge, she charged forward and made to tackle the creature, it didn't give her the chance.

In a blur, Merry Merry was grabbed by her collar and hurled through several trees. Her body crashing through each in a wave of splinters and pain. Her broken exoskeleton was shredded to pieces by the attack.

Merry Merry hit the ground.

She didn't get back up.

Leandrial grunted as she stood up, blood pouring out of her stomach. Guts squelching as they were exposed to the outside world. She limped over to Sh'ara, her sister's gurgling had grown soft. She was dying.

She held the last potion they had in her hands. Either she treats herself and gain a fighting chance, and let her sister die in the process. Or she saves her sister and perishes herself.

It wasn't a choice at all. Uncorking the potion she dumped it all straight onto her sister. In minutes, her sister's vocal cords would grow back, her throat would be repaired, and her skin and veins cleared.

She wasn't able to think any further when the creature that had attacked them came face to face with her. Its hands covered in dark green bile. The same liquid that had run through Merry Merry's entire skin.

She was dead. It was a realization that Leandrial knew. Some of her last words with her sister were arguments. Leandrial's body grew cold at the realization.

But she wouldn't let another of her sisters die. She had the blood of two of them on her hands. She wouldn't let it grow again.

She turned when she heard Sh'ara choking. That was all it needed.

With a flash, a shadowy fist punched through her chest and right through her heart. The attack causing the organ to explode in a sense. Her spine shattered, the pieces breaking off and tearing straight through her lungs and ripped out of her back.

Blood spilled out like an avalanche on the creature. Chunks of flesh and bile and blood bathing the creature in a dark red hue.

Her eyes locked with Sh'ara's. Her sister looking at her, horrified. She only mouthed 'run'.

With a slight nod, her sister took off into the forest. The creature quickly moved to catch her but tripped and fell flat on its face. Dragging Leandrial to the ground as well.

With a silent smile, her magic began to consume everything it touched, including herself. Her final thought was looking at the thing that had killed her sister. And whispering the words.

"Go to hell."

For a minute, it did.
