In Another Realm

Ethan ran around the building, huffing and panting. Cries of Agony filled his ears, but he carried on running. He could see some people had formed ranks and were fighting the invaders, but their powers were hardly doing a thing.

Ethan ran into an almost demolished building. Rubbles and chunks fell, but he didn care. All he could manage to think of was

”Hag, where are you? ”

He continued running aimlessly around the building, until he came across a room and saw a woman lying on the ground.

”Hag! ” he screamed and ran up to her. But the state he saw her in, punctured a hole in his heart

”Oh, Im sorry…. so, so sorry. I should –, ”

Hag coughed out blood and smiled at the kid holding her in his arms. She could see clearly he was worried for her. But that was where the problem was, because she was also worried for him. And what was about to happen, she just wondered how he would take it all in.
