Charging, we don't care who we attack, just as long as it's an Eraser. They retaliate, blasting us with magical fire and lightning. Luckily, we are more powerful than they are. They also have more people, though. They just keep coming, and we find ourselves slowly being pushed backwards. We are tiring by the minute.

A crash and a boom resound behind us. I don't dare look, knowing it's more Erasers. Will this be the end? I think.

I glance behind me. To my surprise, it's not a horde of Erasers. It's a whale. Actually, many. They begin to circle around to the Erasers. Knowing their plans, I begin to create a thick wall of sea glass between us and the Erasers. They start destroying it, but that's all part of the plan.

The first whale smashes into the glass, breaking it with a mighty smash. Water pours into the Erasers' side of the hall, and they are trapped behind the glass. They cannot fight in the steadily rising water.

I don't wait to hear their screams. We flee down the hall, back out of the building, swimming to the surface.

I don't look back.
