Snippet #2623673

Muttering under her breath, she picked Lukas and his staff up again, scanning the surrouings for a safe shelter to leave him in case things got scary. Zephyrus seemed compliant enough, but she wasn't sure about Lukas. He didn't seem aware of how truly weak he was. She spotted a cave on the far side of the pond, And began running towards it, shattering some of his potions. A tingling sensation shot through her body, making her feel slightly dizzy, but she kept going. She thought she saw something at the corner of her eye, but dismissed it. She got to the cave, setting him down gently. Opening his pack she found the potion that had shattered. It was labeled "HALLUCINATION - UNTESTED" Sighing, she looked around. "Thanks a lot, Luke." She ran back for Zephyrus, throwing him over her shoulder and began to run back. Was she...floating? Suddenly the oasis came alive, and arms began reaching out to grab her. She tried to run, but realized her legs were dissapating into dust. She continued running towards the cave somehow. Or was it a cave? It looked more like a giant yellow eye now, watching her every move. The ground In Front of her crumbled, leaving a massive chasm in front of them. A child looked at her in fear as he jumped into the endless depths, making the crevace disappear. And then she saw her. It was her sister, Ariel. She looked angry at her, making Mae scream. "ITS NOT MY FAULT! ITS NOT MY FAULT!" Tears streamed from her face as she ran over to her, only to have her turn into a pile of dust. She saw the cave, and continued running, eyes wide with fear. Reaching it, she deposited Zephyrus inside. Her arms were bleeding profusely. So were her legs. But, it wasn't blood. "Is this...water?" Oh no! She was melting. She screamed as she felt herself turning to liquid. There was nothing left to do now.
