Snippet #2182625

Azer slashed through one of the creatures that tried to make its way inside. She gave a nod at the guys who she now knew as Dante and Sikes. It felt like they had killed about twenty or more each but the number of the creatures didn't seem to change. They just kept coming and most of the ground was now tainted by the darkness that the death of the creatures left. Azer heard Dante ask what they should do and, honestly, Azer had no idea but to keep fighting the creatures off. That was when a loud roar made its way from where the masters had headed. Azer glanced toward the direction in the distance to notice the one of the same creatures they were fighting — the only difference was that the creature in the distance was as big as the building they were in. Her heart filled with dread just as she heard Sikes yelling, "Wait... no... no the masters fell into a trap!" He pointed at the stained floor and then at the enormous creature. "Won't that massive thing also release darkness when it's defeated?!"

Azer felt her body freeze, fear hitting her like a wave. The amount of darkness that would be released by the giant creature would be immense — that amount of darkness could end up devouring the entire world and them along with it. "I don't think the world can handle much more darkness!" Azer heard Dante say and then add with a troubled tone, "If it's destroyed, the world is hurt. If they don't beat it, the world is still hurt...." He turned to look at Azer and Sikes. "I don't think this is going to end in a way we want."

Azer returned his pained look and her eyes looked back at the giant creature. Her fists clenched, finding herself feeling helpless. That's when a flashback appeared in her mind and the image of her mother laying in bed came to mind with a younger Azer that couldn't do anything but watch. It's just like that time, Azer thought and felt a jab at her heart. She let go the breath she hadn't noticed she had been holding and only found herself able to say one thing. "... We should prepare ourselves for what is about to come."
