Screaming. Blood. Clashing Swords. Arrows shooting. War was occurring and I was in the middle of it.

I looked around and saw many animals on the ground either injured or dead, but I ran passed them. I continued my constant pace toward a gigantic phantom that was slamming its tentacles towards the ground on many animals. I cringed as I thought I could hear the sound of bones cracking. I got out my bow and pulled out an arrow, keeping my distance from the phantom. Along with other animals, we shot straight into the big eye, receiving a big screech from the terrifying beast. The phantom began to rub and cover its eyes with two of its tentacles and the Alphas found an opportunity. They began to gather together and glow in white. Suddenly, the beast opened his eye which in surprise, was recovered.

"NOW!" I heard Sir Gilbert yell.

They jumped in the air and launched towards the phantom with each of their own alpha swords. The phantom opened its jaws as the Alphas flew in, causing a big explosion.

I ducked and covered my head with my paws as rocks and dirt blew into me. Finally, the strong gust of wind stopped and started to slow down. I looked up from under my paws and noticed there was black sludge everywhere, even on me. The Alphas were nowhere to be seen.

I slowly got up as I looked around. Trees were torn apart. Rivers were completely dry. Dead animals everywhere. Such a disaster... I began to cry and sprint into the dead forest.

I ran deep into the forest and found a cave. Tears in my eye, I went into the dark cave. I slumped down on the cold ground and began to weep. I felt traumatized by what I have witnessed and seen. I wiped my tears to notice my paw was completely black and purple. I widened my eyes and tried to clean it off with my other paw but it only got worse.

I felt weak as it continued to spread into my veins. The poison was getting into me as I began to lie on my side. I was breathing hard and wincing as I felt the toxic go through me. My sight began to get dizzy and I saw black spots. So this is how I die. Poisoning. I looked up to see stalactites. Many beautiful stalactites. I started to go through my memories before I died.

"Goodbye everyone.. Goodbye Lily," I whispered.

"Goodbye Mother.."
