You wake up. Krimson crying in my arms as I gently rock her back and forth.

"Shhh shhhhh it's ok little one... it's ok."

I notice your eyes open and I smile only to have to shift my attention back to our baby.

"See? Look mommy is ok. I told you she just needed a nap."

She reaches out to you. Tears rushing down her face.

"M....m.....ma...mama!!!!!"

As you sit up I gently sit next to you. Petting you and looking you over while Krimson crawls on your lap and cuddles you. Sleeping instantly in your arms. You look at me and notice the cloth over my eyes.

"What happened..."

I sigh.

"Look.... there was too much to deal with... I just... did the best thing to take care of all the threats..."

I can feel your glare as you rub lightly once over my eyes. I sigh again and point. Your eyes strain as you look where I'm pointing. Only to realize... that's the point. You softly stand still holding the baby. When your eyes adjust to the darkness you finally see it. Instead of the graveyard we were in... all that is left is a smoldering crater. No bones. No ashes. Just a crater. You turn and wait for me to speak.

"Planetary bombardment..."

You growl.

"I used my eyes to call down a literal... meteor... but... the physical requirements are... harsh. I'm blind. For a while."

I feel you sit next to me. I sigh.

" I'm using magic to sorta see. Its... more like a picture but I can sorta tell where I am."

You wave your hand in my face and realize I'm not lieing.

"C...can we go... home?"

I nod but just as I stand I collapse again. Gasping for breath.

"What's wrong!!!"

I reach out and shudder as I black out.
