Crack.

Crack.

The sound of something breaking caught my attention, I looked around confused, there was nothing but the dark abyss ahead of me, I turned back and saw nothing but the same thing, the dark abyss.

From what I remembered, I was supposed to be with Lisa, dying by the hands of a well known royal.

No..

...

I was.

"LISA!" I yelled, as I desperately tried to save her from the danger ahead.

I widened my eyes as I jumped in front of her out of instinct and touched her wrist, gripped it tightly and closed my eyes.

I could feel the heat slowly coming towards us, I could even feel sweat slowly forming due to the warmth it radiated.

The sound of fire crackling reached my ears, and flames burning.

'No.. no no no!' I thought to myself as we both disappeared, and reappeared somewhere else, I couldn't careless, adrenaline caught up to me quickly, making my brain not process correctly. Gasping for air, I looked at Lisa, who was still in a state of shock.

I slowly let go of her wrist,

And sat down, from what I could feel, dirt and looked at the ground, trying to calm my overly fast beating heart, my ears rung wildly, felt a small stinging pain from the back, as I could hear yet another source of noise near me.

It was a small sob.

I looked at my friend, confused but that confusion turned, like a knot was twisting my stomach, and that string wasn't even fear, nor anxious.

It was something more calming.. maybe silence? Relaxed?

When I turned and looked at my friend, I was expecting Lisa slowly calming herself down, and trying to at least turn herself into smoke, but what I was met was..

Her, Lisa, who's now crouching and covering her face with her hands, silently sobbing, and someone beside her, a female staring at me with her dulled eyes, and a very pale face.

Her body was frail, and old looking, the skin had wrinkles and her fat was now decimated, only showing the structure of her bones that was wrapped around her thin skin, she was also crouching, and facing her whole body onto my direction.

I don't know why, but I seem to be.. more.. relaxed when I saw this figure before I was trying to calm myself down, she radiates a very soft and gentle aura.

She opens her mouth, and whispered something that I couldn't hear, as if her voice was picked up by the slow and calming winds.

The female then smiles as she slowly disappears, confusing me.

'Was she an imagination? Why was I not.. scared of her presence..?' I asked myself while knitting my eyebrows, Lisa finally looks up, she looks at me, her face was wet with tears, she had red and puffy eyes, some tears slowly falling down from her eyes to her cheek.

I abandoned the topic I had in my mind and looked at my friend with a worried face.

"Are you okay..?" I asked worriedly as I slowly lifted my hand out and wiped some of her tears away from her face.

"No," She answers, still sniffling and sobbing.

"I nearly died, I nearly died.." She mutters, while slowly breaking down into tears again.

"Why did you challenge a royal..?" I asked in a confusing tone, I know that she won't challenge someone without a reason.

Lisa looks at me, smacks my hand away from her face as she wipes her face quickly, her mood changed quickly alerting me.
