The ground rumbles and you hope to any higher power that my be out there, that it's mama Hawk, but you know better. Hands pop out of the ground like daisies, clawing at the dirt, reaching for your ankles.
You leap into the air and take flight. "Hawk!" Your worries are soon soothed as he munches on something and turns into one of those flying stingray things the new generation rode. The reanimated corpses climb over them selves quickly piling up to catch you.
"How are there so many?!" They've towered up and are now toppling down toward you. You narrowly dodge the bodies, getting caught by the ankle briefly but you singe the hand before it can drag you down. "We have to get outta here!"
"I like that plan!" Hawk squeals zipping his way back to his mom, but when you try to follow, you feel as if you were just struck by lightning.
Hawk cries out for you as you plummet to the ground. Your head spins and you're vaguely aware of hands clawing at your body. After setting them ablaze you stumble to your feet only to be tripped up by more hands.
When the fog finally clears you're completely submerged in gross rotting hands, you feel like throwing up. Fire explodes outward and you can see the sins fast approaching. You give them a cheerful smile while waving, perhaps you haven't completely recovered. The blood loss probably isn't helping either.
You watch their faces churn in horror as you're hoisted up into the air, one bloody tendril in each shoulder. Lin throws you against the ground. "Oh look, now your friends get to watch as you die."
Woozily you hold your head up to watch the sins helplessly pound against the barrier trapping you inside. "Too bad, those demons who are running amuck won't be here in time. I so wished it would have been you watching your friends die, for you to suffer that pain right in front of my eyes would have truly been a treat."
"Wer- what are you talking about?"
"Oh you didn't actually think I was going to kill dearest Linette did you? No, no, what that barrier actually does is inform the Ten Commandments when a certain someone steps inside. But like I said, you'll be long gone by then."
Diane even slams Gideon against it a few times, it shakes the ground but nothing more. You make eye contact with Gowther who's sobbing and ponding against the glass. Instinctively you reach out to dry his tears but end up getting electrocuted again.
Ban is also in a sorry state angry tears blazing a trail down his face, he's yelling something, but you can't hear. So you just smile and give them a thumbs up, trying to portray that you'll be ok.
With a renewed fighting spirit you turn to Alistair and Lin. In a millisecond you're crouched down using your fire to propel yourself along the ground toward Lin. You grab her by the ankle and toss her outside of the barrier, if your theory is correct she won't be able to get back in.
You focus on turning all the corpses you can into ash, assuming they're his only offence. But while your distracted you don't notice Alistair walking through the pile of corpses to shield himself. Timing it perfectly so the moment you stop for a breather he pops out of the pile and buries his fist in your chest.
Your movement halts as you now focus on clawing at his hand to attempt to get it out. You try your flames but they seem to not work... He ends up removing it on his own, dragging your heart out along with it. Falling to your knees you claw at his robes trying to help yourself up to get to your heart back.
The sounds of out side finally reach your ears and you can hear the sins calling out to you finally. But it's all drown away by a pain far greater then you've ever felt before.
