Fallen Stars

Fallen Star

-Kei'ral POV-

My body was damaged to an absurd extent...

My left arm was done for, I'll probably never be able to use it again...

My legs are giving their last signals of life...

I could feel half of my face practically gone...

My organs were almost turned into ashes by my own flames...

My muscles are completely torn...

My bones feel shattered...

Yet...

This is nothing compared to the pain I felt inside that blood.

And in front of me... A black dragon.

Standing with its body almost as damaged as my own.

Behind me... Sarah Fortune.

Misguided and resentful of her own survival.

Me: Shit!

The Gore Magala in front of us can and will keep fighting, it will not stop until we die...

Sarah is being affected by the frenzy virus this thing is releasing constantly and it appears that I underestimated the damage it can cause in someone's organism. When it's supposed to not be lethal to humans, I never considered that this was another damn world. The people in this world has never faced anything like this virus and their bodies wouldn't be able to fight it.

At this pace, Sarah is going to die... and me too.

I coughed blood and tried to think on anything while looking around me, expecting the answers to this dilemma to simply come as a miracle.

But maybe the only miracle that can happen tonight is for one of us to survive...

Me: Run away!... *Pant* I'll keep him busy long enough for- *Cough* *Pant* For you to escape...

Sarah: What are you-!?

Goddamnit! Just listen to me for once!

Me: Don't say a fucking word! *Cough* *Cough*

Damnit! Those dark explosions really trashed me up.

Me: Just leave!

Sarah: But-

Me: SHUT THE FUCK UP AND RUN!!!

I turned around completely and grabbed her by her clothes, pushing her away with as much strength I could, not achieving much really.

Me: I'll keep it here... just run and live... please.

This might be the end...

Sarah: I...

Me: Just run...

As long as you keep on living, things are going to be fine. The Star Guardians are the ones that fight for this world's safety, they can manage to keep going without me.

Sarah: But I-!

Please understand that!

Me: RUN!!!

She finally heard my pleas and left the place, seeing this, I turned once more to face the beast in front of me. My sword in the ground, unscathed even after all the punishment it received from the Gore's attack. Shyvana's scales are truly something special.

With my only functional arm, I grabbed the long sword. As I kept limping towards the dragon, it did the same and moved slowly at me.

Resting my sword in my shoulder to not put any unnecessary pressure in my arm I pierced the dragon with my glare. Even without eyes, I could feel the intense glare that that thing was giving me.
