In the midst of my self-loathing, I registered the return of Finn’s warm darkness only seconds before the world exploded around me. A deafening thunder rolled in from the ocean, blowing anyone standing off their feet and causing my hearing to falter. In a haze of silence and pain, I noticed I had fallen to the sand; released from my glowing prison of affliction. Nadia and Selene were already beginning to stir several yards away, and the vial containing my essence was dispatched in the opposite direction. It nestled into a secure pocket of sand, and I prayed they wouldn’t find it. Keto’s emerald eyes snapped open with surprise as her soul reconnected with her body lying below.

Commanding my body to take action I awkwardly leaned onto my shoulder, while the excruciating pain I had become accustomed to radiated from my shoulder. It was so profound, it muted the agonizing fire emanating from every bare piece of my skin. I gasped in horror when I saw why. My ravaged skin was torn and swollen, burned from the evil smoke and scorched several layers deep. I would have fared better if I’d been dipped in a river of lava.

Out of the corner of my eye, three figures emerged from the waves; stealing the attention of Nadia, Keto and Selene. Unfortunately, my body would not listen to my commands to move, so I lay there helpless once again and watched the events unfold before me. Taking a hint from the sea earlier, I began to pull from the sand in order to recharge my energy and heal my body.

One of the new arrivals ran up the beach in my direction and I tried to call out a warning to her, but my voice betrayed me — coming out as a useless whisper. She was only a few yards away when a glowing red ball of light struck her from the side and she slumped to the ground. The dark spray of blood across the untainted white sand was an image I would never forget. Somehow I dragged myself across the blood-splattered sand with one arm to reach her.

“Stasia…” she tried weakly. I knew by the severity of the wound in her side that she only had moments to live, so I swallowed my despair and forced a weak smile.

“Tina!” I managed to pull myself up so I could see her eyes. “It’s okay, you’ll be okay…”

“I know you’re lying, but-” She attempted a grin, although it morphed into a grimace as bloody coughs wracked her dying body. “ I believe in you….” she managed. “We all do…” Her eyes widened in pain before settling on my gaze once more.

“No!” I pleaded with her. “You’re going to be okay! Stay with me!” As I spoke, her green eyes focused on something behind me before losing their light altogether. Her body went limp beside me and I felt an intense loneliness as I felt her soul disappear.

“Tina!” I yelled, but my voice was barely audible and I was overcome with grief.
