Explosions.
BAM BAM BAM
Fire soared; more explosions.
BAM BAM BAM
The bird took me higher, the thick black smoke rising with us.
I couldn't see what happened on the ground, which became farther and farther away, but when I turned my head, I could see the beautiful crystalline world burning brightly.
The gigantic trees fell one after another; there were constant explosions, which must be the other crystalline figures.
The fire should have already reached the portal, and if it was like in my vision, it should have crossed the portal into our world.
My head hurt tremendously, and I retched a few times, unsure if it was from what I was seeing or from the black smoke that was everywhere.
I looked at the heart above me and fired my gun at it—this was what I should have done the moment I saw the soldiers entering.
Fuck, there was so much I should have done up to this point.
So many dumb mistakes.
