The morning light grew stronger and Arielle only grew paler.
Shelby noticed her conditions and said “You did good Arielle, place us down and get some rest”
Arielle only nodded and the group descended to ground level.
The surroundings were forest and a huge mountain looming over them. Shelby conjured butterflies again and they flew off into the surrounding areas. “Cody stabilize the grounds; we don’t want another mishap like before.”
Cody gave a scintillating smile and saluted “Roger” and multiple glyphs appeared on the ground and trees. Caitlyn’s breathing grew haphazard and Jesse became frantic. “She’s going into Shock, due to her conditions she has at most a few hours, the worst would be a few minutes” Jesse adjusted the jacket to cover more of Caitlyn’s body as well as propping the legs up higher.
The team’s face became grim at this news and Shelby could only kneel down beside her friend, a butterfly propped on her finger which landed on Caitlyn. “May your soul be in peace, go be with William and live a happy life”. The butterfly propped on Caitlyn grew slightly, it sparkled and flew before being absorbed by Shelby.
Caitlyn’s body stopped struggling and her breathing shrank till it subsided. A single tear slide down Caitlyn’s face before it fell to the ground.
Jesse slumped to the ground in defeat and Cody's smile disappeared. Arielle sniffled as tears rolled down her cheeks. Terry was devastated by the loss of a team member, now all the front-line fighters were dead or missing.
'We gotta finish this moving quick or we're going to die.' Terry started to sweat as he looked at his surroundings with caution. Anything can kill them,
Shelby got up with a hard look on her face and muttered "Rest up, we have to tackle tomorrow"
The morning became afternoon and no special occurrences had happened. All was quiet and Terry woke up from his slumber.
Shelby was off to the side watching everyone rest as she keeps watch.
"Afternoon we're about ready to move out so wake everyone up" Shelby smiles meekly and stood up, dusting her legs off and proceeded to shake Arielle awake.
Terry stretched before getting up; a huge yawn was emitted from his mouth and he dozily looked around with half-opened eyes.
The sun.... it was a bit brighter than usual. Terry recieved a bad premonition deep in his heart and glared at the bright light in the sky.
"Shelby, don't you think its brighter than usual" Terry asked while trying to get a clearer vision of what was in the sky. Rubbing his eyes he looked over for an answer.
Shelby shielded her eyes and looked to the sky, she concentrated and sent out a butterfly which flew skyward toward the weird light that Terry had pointed out.
After the amount of time necessary to boil a pot of tea had passed Shelby's face sunk in despair. "We have to barricade ourselves NOW"
Terry was flustered by the sudden change in Shelby and asked "What is it, what is coming toward us?"
"Arielle make an air dome be sure to isolate outside air, Cody reinforce it with your glyphs, we do not want anything to penetrate" Shelby bellowed with madness, the fear deeply rooted into her eyes.
Cody and Arielle had troubled looks on their faces but they complied, a dome of air with many glyphs surrounded everyone as the light grew closer and closer.
Terry tried to look at it but the sight seemed to burn his eyes, finally as it grew closer and closer Terry could see it. A plane part of the body was missing and the most of it was on fire was descending rapidly as if it was a falcon diving for its prey.
Terry could understand why Shelby wanted to stay put and hold out instead of rapidly fleeing. The rate of descent was equivalent to a falcon and with Arielle still wonky from just waking up there was no way that they could have escaped unharmed from the explosion and shrapnel that would have came.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Jesse fell powerlessly to the ground quivering in fear, and what seemed to be a puddle of liquid excreting from her lower half.
The plane crashed directly into the barrier, part of it grew dim and some of the glyphs gave out but it held. After a few seconds a bright flash and a sound of what appeared a resonating thunder blast Terry's ears apart.
The barrier shuttered and all the glyphs went out it suddenly became hard to breathe and Terry opened his eyes after a long time. Everyone was on the floor. People like Terry and Shelby were suffering scratches from shrapnel and minor burns from the whole ordeal while others like Jesse had one long cut down her arm and her legs partially burnt.
The two people who was suffering the most was both Arielle and Cody. Arielle due to having to maintain the whole dome throughout the explosion had several hemorages in her head. She was bleeding through every orphice on her head and she could only mumble nonsense as she glanced around with glazed eyes.
Cody had it worse as the dome failed partway shrapnel had gotten through and pierced Cody in his left shoulder, multiple spots on his back and even sliced one of his legs off entirely.
Shelby's eyes suddenly lost will and she slumps to the ground holding Arielle and Cody, trying her best to soothe them.
Cody painfully smiled and raised a hand to give a thumbs up and a notification popped up.
