"Noah..."
He sat down next to me.
"Are you okay?"
I keep quiet.
"I'll take that as a no... what happened?"
Tears brim my eyes.
"The g-general..."
He bites him lip.
"She's wrong. Whatever she told you, she's wrong."
I wanted so desperately to believe him, but I couldn't. Why should I? She was right, I wasn't cut out for this. I wasn't born a leader, I couldn't be like my parents.
"Did you regret what happened last night?"
It obviously caught him off guard, he flinched.
"Do you?"
I take a deep breath.
"No, never."
His eyes almost seemed to sparkle.
"I didn't regret it either. I'm sorry-"
I slam his lips unto mine.
"Don't be."
Suddenly the voice was quiet.
The voice was finally quiet.
"Come on, we have a general to prove wrong."We run to the battle, we see the general standing on the sidelines, not bothering to fight.
I clench my hand in a fist but I sigh and survey the battle. We seemed to be holding on for the most part, but I knew that help was needed.
"Which element?"
"Nature."
I nod to Noah and dive into the battle.
Since most of the attackers had the water element, I had a easy advantage over them, yet they kept coming. There looked like no end to the attackers.We fought for hours on end, my energy was very depleted and the army was much much smaller.
I noticed the other army's numbers were getting low too, but not as much as ours.
I couldn't imagine how much control Lucifer would have if he took control if this kingdom, so I took a risk.
Every spell being fired, I took control of. Any element or branch was under my control now. Of course, I positioned my self in the very back of the battle now, even away from the generals.
Then I did my final attack.
I can't begin to explain how much energy that took out of me. I almost died that day, but I didn't. By some strange stroke of luck, I didn't.
Noah found me a few moments later, panicking.
He told me later that I looked like a ghost. That he thought I was dead before he checked my pulse.
"One of the scariest moments of my life. Your pulse was so faint I could barely feel it. Never do that again."
I couldn't promise that to him now or in the future.
But, they never did find out the person who saved the Fire Kingdom.428 words
