Agony felt an intense heat on her skin, she opened her eyes to see herself back on the Tower. Agony looked around to see it on fire. No, not fire, fire doesn't move that smoothly, fire doesn't move like it knows what it's doing. Agony looked at the banners, the Iron Banner was raised. The red substance swarmed around the banner. Agony reached for her side-arm then checked her hip when she couldn't find it. When she looked back up at the banner it had completely caught fire, and the swarm was charging towards her.
Agony flailed her arms as she woke up and did a quick check of her surroundings, she was still in her ship, somewhere in space, far from Earth, far from the Tower.
"Are you alright?" Tenebris asked concerned.
"Yeah, it was just another nightmare," Agony sighed as she ran her hand through her hair.
"The same one?"
"Yeah... it's probably just the guilt... or all the stress from work is finally catching up to me," Agony replied. The two sat in silence for a while, until an alarm when off on the ship. Agony turned it off then checked the notification.
"We need to land, the ship's falling apart and we need to refuel," Agony said as she took hold of the wheel. Agony flew through the void of space for what felt like hours, when she saw a planet in the distance.
"Think it'll be safe to land?" Agony asked while opening her communications.
"I sure hope so. I don't want another fight," Tenebris confessed
"Oh come on, that last one was fun!" Agony jokingly protested
"For you maybe, they kept trying to capture me!"
Agony laughed, "well here goes nothing."
