"Can you arrest him again?" asks Clara still in a fighting position.

Curt was lying beside me, there was still a little blood that had run down his face. The other two were standing, a tank and an archer, we still have a balanced team, we can take him down, but without a warrior we will end up taking too long.

"I can" speak. "Can Arly hit a few arrows to get your attention? I need you to come a little closer."

The archer looks at me and then at the monster, he knew he didn't like me, but working together was our only option these days. I look at our opponent, he wasn't moving, it seems he just wants to bar our way. Probably more of them are on their way.

"We have to take him down fast!"

When I finish talking, an arrow is shot, hitting the troll's neck. He gets completely angry as soon as he is. .h.i.t, he starts running towards us at full speed, different than expected, because of his size, his speed was frightening. Another arrow hits his chest, but doesn't stop him from running.

"I stretch my hand towards him while I finish talking.

The earth rises quickly, knocking him down, the ground holding his leg like a hand. Clara starts to run towards him, Arly shoots arrows in sequences, they hit his back and shoulders that were exposed.

"Stay behind me." I hear the voice coming from my side.

"Thanks Ty" I appreciate it.

Ty wasn't much like me either, but I see him coming in front of me, now the rear was fully protected, we could attack without worrying about being exposed. Clara hit several blows in a row, but her dagger didn't seem to be able to hurt that hard skin. The arrows were still being shot, but now they just hit and fell to the ground. Your defense is increasing.

"Back off" I call Clara.

She tries to jump back, but her reaction wasn't fast enough, she ends up being hit by a punch from the monster that was getting up. I'm desperate to see my friend being thrown, but I can't lose my cool now.

"Lightning."

A big lightning bolt comes out of the end of my staff and hits the troll, which was almost getting up is. .h.i.t on his shoulder, his speed really didn't match his size, he had aimed at his chest, but he managed to deflect at the last second. This is my most powerful attack, but I can't use it many times, maybe one or two more.

"Take him down, Ty." Clara speaks by raising her voice, she was fine.

Ty runs with all his might hitting him, the beast falls back a few yards. This was our chance.

"Help me carry Curt" I'm talking to Arly.

Listening to me, he quickly runs to our disagreed friend. I took his left arm and put it over my shoulder, Arly does the same thing with the other side. We started running, we had to pa.s.s the fallen monster to get to the road. At that moment we hear something, trees fall behind us.

"His reinforcements have arrived" Clara speaks looking back, her face was pale.

"More trolls, they're coming, they're coming" Arly starts to despair making Curt slip a little off his arm.

"Stay calm, we need to run the maxi..." I can't finish talking. Curt slips down on both of us.

I look away, but all I see is Arly's back, he was running ahead without us. He's abandoned us and he's running away on his own.

"Bianca!" Clara screams running at us, her leg looked bruised, she was limping.

Ty seemed very down with his friend's sudden action, but decided to stay by our side, he runs to me.

"I carry him" says by loosening his s.h.i.+eld and putting Curt across his shoulders.

We all get up to run, but looking ahead the vision is horrifying. The troll had recovered and was standing, in his hand, half closed, there was a great ma.s.s of flesh, he takes a bite and chews while looking at us, in his feet was a bow, his rim was broken in half. I feel a package in my stomach, even though I haven't eaten anything it feels like something wanted to come out, I can feel the bitter taste in my mouth for a fraction of a second, as well as a tightness in my belly. I put my hand in my mouth, but nothing comes out.

"We've lost the loophole we had" Ty speaks as he kneels on the ground.

"We can't..." Clara begins to speak, but her words are interrupted, I can see a worried expression on her face for a thousandth of a second, she comes towards me.

I feel a strong impact on my back that throws my body, my vision goes out for an instant.

I open my eyes quickly, I'm looking at the sky and the leaves on the trees. I was lying on the ground because I could feel the gra.s.s touching my skin, my body is sore and too heavy for me to try to move.

"NO" Ty's terrified cry wakes me up completely, then another great impact can be heard.

I try to get up, but something prevents my movements, I realize that something was on top of me, when I look it was Clara. Now I clearly remember, before I was. .h.i.t by someone, she got in front of the blow so that I wouldn't get hit.

"Hey, Clara, are you okay?" I lift my left arm up hard and try to move it.

There's no reaction, I hear the noise of the big monsters approaching, I pull Clara to my side carefully, then sit on the floor.

In front of me was our two companions, actually their bodies were there. Curt had been stepped on by a troll, Ty could not be seen, at least not his whole body. Perhaps because of the shock not a single tear dared to come out of my eyes, looking around was surrounded by at least five of them, there is no escape now. I feel a little pull in my hand.

"Clara?" I look in your direction.

"Me..." She spits blood when she tries to talk.

"Don't talk, it'll get worse, I'll heal you right now" I talk by kneeling and putting my hands on your back.

She giggles a little when she hears me talk.

"You know very well my condition." Cough twice more, your breath was heavy. "Can you turn me around on the ground? I want to see your face."

The monsters were standing still, I really don't understand them, but at least I'll be able to talk to my friend one last time. I see your body just as I had asked, now the shock of before has pa.s.sed, I know very well what happened and what is to come, tears are inevitable, but the greatest pain at that moment is losing the most important person in my life.

She looks at me and smiles, her face was pale, the hair she cared for with such zeal was all messed up, I put my hand on her head.

"He always fought me to take better care of me" I speak.

"And you never listened to me..." She laughs again, but is interrupted by a cough. "You know this isn't your fault, right?" He tries to raise his hand, but he can't, seeing that I hold his hand. "Your visions, they... are not..." I needed more and more effort to get some word out. "Cursed..."

His eyes lose focus, the breath that had become weak was now non-existent, the little strength left in his hands fades. My tears fall on your face, but the clean ones after you close your eyes. Even in death she continued with a big smile.

I try to get up with the little strength I have left, I use the staff as a form of walking stick, but even this strength is not enough to keep me standing, I end up falling to my knees on the ground.

Sorry to do this with your last words, but I really can't believe them, this is the second time... Even though I've been through it, I haven't been able to do anything again. I look up. The sun is up, there is no cloud in the sky, today the weather is great, we decided to make the route today just for that.

The monsters seem to have grown tired of playing with me, their heavy steps begin once again. I look at the one blocking the road, if it hadn't been for him we might have managed to escape. I don't know if trolls are smart, but looking at his face I have the feeling that I saw him smiling, in the end we had no chance since we arrived in this forest.

"Just get it over with" I speak.

He stops, then his body falls to the ground making a big noise, from behind him comes a man. Her clothes were black, just like her hair, next to her is a little girl.

"Finish them all." He says taking a step towards me.

His look was truly frightening.
