Prologue
Ahahaha....I'm going to be killed for this.

Probably by YuNiK.
Blood...smoke...ash...fire...death.
My eyes opened, tears falling down as I looked around the place so many of us had called freedom. A place we had all found sanctuary in...a place we could call home. It was crumbling at our feet.
Our comrades, friends...they were all still in place. Everything was cold, like stone. They were all frozen in place and time. Frozen with something odd. Something I couldn't name. It was something I don't think anyone could name. No names at all...none untill I heard my own.
"....?"
It was our second in command. Working so closely on a crew of so little you begin to learn things...like voices. Voices and feelings. You learn and recognize them so quickly it's as if they were always there. Always by your side. Always in your head.
He ran foward, that stupid new pirate hat being held in place by his hand. I wanted to laugh. It was always so amusing, seeing him run foward in those baggy clothes...like he was a child again. I wanted to laugh so badly...but it wasn't the time nor the place. It was likely there would never be another time nor place ever again. This was going to be it. There was no other option.
"CAPTIAN!",he shouted, unusually worried. He was never worried...and he never called me captian. Apparently he could sense it too; the situation was that big. "What do we do?!"
I was hovering, feet above him in the air. My wings were tired and torn. Blood was dripping down. I was injured, but I felt nothing. Maybe it was the adrineline...or maybe it was because I wasn't supposed to. Maybe... He screamed at me again. I was ignoring him, but not on purpose. Stupid self! This was not the time to be distracted!
Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, I prepared to shout back the orders. Slipping farther and farther from grasp; time was not on our side. These would likely be the last orders I would ever give to anyone.
Mere seconds after I began another voice reached my ears. It was soft, but full of worry...worry that came natural to it. I didn't want to look. I knew whom the voice belonged to. I knew if I looked...we wouldn't win. I would die before completing what needed to be done. Everything rested within these next few moments. Everything rested within my focus...
Using what little strength I had left, I acted. I looked. I shouldn't of looked.
He was staring straight up at me. His eyes were blue. Why were they blue? Weren't they...funny. I can't remember their colour. They weren't blue though! Blue wasn't right...It wasn't right.
"Dama..."
I couldn't turn away. My eyes wouldn't shut. I shouldn't of looked! I was helpless, like a deer into headlights. I was done...this wasn't going to end as it should. This wasn't going to end at all as it should. Things were over...they were gone. It was all going to be over. Everything we had worked for! Strived for! Everything... It was all fading away like a dream. A dream that ends in darkness, but pierces your heart for all eternity. We were about to die.
"CAPTIAN!"
Snapping back into reality, I glanced down. Tears were still falling, but I would not faulter. I couldn't now...I had lead everyone into this. I had created our own destruction. I had fought the loosing battle and lead us all to this hell. Hell...no. That wasn't good enough for this. This...was a never ending nitemare. Even when I died, I could tell the images would never leave me. They'd be imprinted unto my soul forever. Forever always seems like such a short word untill you realize that it's the end...
Gathering past my limits, I took another breath and shouted out the final orders.
"TAKE EVERYONE TO THE SOUTH SIDE! UNDERGROUND!"
"Then what?!"
I paused. That wouldn't be enough would it? I'd have to do something drastic...something hard... I would have to do something fatal.
"Then...SEAL OFF ALL THE DOORS! DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT LET ANYONE IN OR OUT!"
He stared at me. Shock, I suppose...then with him, no one could ever tell. Sincerity wasn't something he normally showed. Only honesty and half the time it was brute.
"...lock...the...but.....those left behind...",he murmured looking up at me. I honestly couldn't tell if he was angry at the idea or just couldn't grasp it yet. Either way, it would be his decision to listen or not. I couldn't order him around anymore. At that moment, I was no longer the captian...but another member. Just another person on the field of battle. Another figure fading away.
As I flew away, I could feel his aura retreating too. He was listening... 'Thank God.',I thought feeling some relief, though not much. He was listening. For the first time, he was listening. Of all the times --- !!!
...Atleast they'd be safe. That was what mattered. I couldn't save them myself, but he could...he could do what I couldn't. He could take it all on and at the end of the day, smile. He was just like...like...where was he?!
My eyes nervously scanned the field of battle, falling upon the last spot I had seen him. There! He had called to me from there! I needed to find him! No matter what, he was key! He was everything! He had to stay! He had to... He had called...he....he...
Suddently there was nothing. My mind wasn't there...I could feel it. It was slipping. It was all...That was it. I felt like laughing, but I don't think I did. There was nothing there after all. I was at death's door and he was accepting permanent guests. That was it.
They'd have to begin it all now...all on their own. They'd make it...maybe.
Ahahaha....I'm going to be killed for this.
