Tyler's ~ Wildcat's ~ Perspective

Holy shit... What are we still doing standing here?! We're going to die if we don't run for cover! "Guys. We new to help the solders fight." Even says, exchanging looks between Marcel and I. "Are you crazy, Evan?! We have little to no training and our men are getting shit on! They've been training their whole lives and they're losing! What do you think will happen to us if we try to go out there?!" Marcel spits. "Look, it's either we go down as ordinary people or we go down in history as brave heroes because from the looks of it, we are getting our asses kicked. We have no chance of winning. The kingdom is as good as gone. Do you want to die knowing you stood up for our kingdom, or do you want to die knowing you ran away like a coward." Evan argues, leaving Marcel and I speechless. "I'm in." I state, walking over to Evan and giving him a fist bump. We both look over at Marcel with puppy dog eyes. He let's out a big huff before walking over to us. "Fine." He groans, making Evan and I smile. We give him high fives before facing the fight we're about to enter. "Alright, let's go mother fuckers!" Evan exclaims for making a mad dash towards the battle. Marcel and I follow closely behind him.
I separate from my little team to go help a wounded solder. He is laying on the ground, defenseless while an ice solder hovers over him with a wide grin. "Hey snowman! Mess with someone you're own element!" I exclaim, throwing several waves of fire balls at him. He turns around just in time to receive a fire ball to the face, knocking him down with a pain-filled scream. I run to the solder's side and life him up from the ground. I wrap his arm around my shoulder and did my best to carry him away from the fight. Walk into one of the houses to see a couple with their two kids, cowering behind their kitchen table. "I'm sorry to bother you, but this man needs medical attention." I say as I pull out a chair and lay him in it. The couple rush from their spot to the wounded man's side. I nod at them before running towards the exit. "Wait! Why don't you have your armor on, solder?!" The man I just saved asks. "Because I'm not a solder." I reply, giving him one last look before leaving the home and going back into the fight.
Everything seems fine. I'm actually doing pretty decent, same goes for Evan and Marcel. Surprisingly, I managed to find them in this cluster fuck. I think we may even be doing better than the ordinary solders, seeing as though none of us have died yet and we're still up and kicking. Well, that's until I feel an extremely sharp pain in my side. My breath hitches before I tumble to the ground. I let out a pained groan as Evan and Marcel run to my side. "Tyler! Tyler, are you okay?! What happened?!" Marcel asks, but his question is answered when he sees the long shard of ice sticking out of my right side. "Evan, we need to get him out of here!" Marcel says, looking up at a guilty Evan. "Alright, lets get out of here." Evan says, grabbing my arm and wrapping it around his head. Marcel does the same, and they carry me away.
We manage to make our way to the forests. They drag me through the maze of trees until they deem it safe to rest. They lay me against a tree on the ground carefully. "What do we do?! None of us know how to address a situation like this, and we're in the middle of fucking nowhere!" Marcel curses whilst examining my right side. "I-I-I don't know. Maybe we can find a village or something!" Evan stutters nervously. "A village?! Really?! Like a said just a second ago, we are in the middle of butt fuck nowhere! We can't go to any of the other nations because everyone hates each other right now and they'll kill us on site! The only safe place I can think of right now is that outcast island, and no one lives there but animals!" Marcel growls with anger. I'd try to shut them up, but I'm too weak. I feel like if I even try to whisper, I'll pass out.
I feel my eyelids growing heavier as my vision begins to blur. No... Not like this. Not yet. I don't want to die yet. There's still something I haven't gotten to do yet, and I'll never be able to forgive myself if I die without it. Before I die, I want to find someone to love. I want to die in their arms. Not in the middle of the forest to a simple piece of ice. I can't. Not yet. Not now. Not here. I grit my teeth and clench my fists. Evan and Marcel's argument is growing incoherent. Its as if they're miles away from here. I begin to feel a tingling sensation throughout my body. It's as if I'm growing lighter.
I begin to feel light headed, my body growing cold and limp. Out of nowhere, I hear a twig snap, so I turn away from Evan and Marcel to see where it's coming from. I see a pale figure standing behind the two blabber mouthes. I try to say something, but the figure holds their finger to their mouth, shushing me. The figure begins to change into a man, and a very majestic one at that. His green shirt and brown pants are torn and worn out, hanging loosely on his small body. His hazel eyes are a mix of dark and light green with specks of brown in them. A black pair of glasses rest on the bridge of his tiny nose. An Earth Elemental... What is he doing near the Fire Kingdom? He should be at his own kingdom. He smiles down at me, revealing his beautiful white teeth. "Meet me at the abandoned island. I'll be there, waiting for you. Go to the town square. I'll see you there." He says.
I feel a sudden strength rush through me, so I stand up and pull the ice from my side. "Tyler?! What are you doing?!" I hear one of my friends ask, but I ignore them. I slowly approach the mysterious Earth Elemental. He steps back a little before running away. I mindlessly run after him, ignoring the sharp pain and the warm, wet too running down my side. "Wait! Don't go! At least tell me your name!" I call after him. He stops and turns to face me, so I stop running. "I'm Craig." He giggles before disappearing. All of my strength completely drains out of me all at once, making me collapse onto the cold, hard ground. "No! Come back! Please! I don't want to die alone!" I plea, but he doesn't return. All I hear is his voice. "Your not going to die. Not yet." He says before my mind goes blank. I feel myself being lifted from the ground, but I don't pay it any mind. I feel my eyes close, so I let myself drift away into the darkness of sleep.

Done! Next! Did you like it?
