My eyes fell shut, as I breathed what I thought would be one of my last breaths as I coughed up blood. Then...the window shattered. A girl with brown hair stood there, her eyes seeming smug, even though I couldn't see her mouth.

"Mari, stop showing off and let's get out of here. Guards are coming, on top of that, he's going to die if we don't get him medical help soon. You may have stopped the bleeding, but if it gets infected, he's a goner." The girl said in a flat tone.

Mari nodded, "Right. We need to get to the base. Use the air to fly us back." The girl nodded. I just sat there, utterly confused, through the whole thing.

**Time Skip to the Base**

There were two more people at the base waiting. One was a guy, he kept a stern look on his face for the whole time. I decided I'd best be wary of him.
