Chapter 23 - Chapter 10: Then, I died (Part Three)

The orb started to glow a purple color. Orion smiled at this, which probably meant it was going according to plan, but then something odd happened. My eyes widened as the orb started pulsing red. My chest was frightened. Orion's expression grew confused. He opened the book and started searching frantically. He mumbled something under his breath. Then said, "Luna get your hand off there, NOW! Don't look into the orb!" I tried to look away, but I couldn't it was too late, the orb wouldn't allow me to let go. It had taken it's hold.

"LUNA LOOK AWAY!" Orion shouted but his voice felt far away. Then, I heard the voice speaking to me but it wasn't to me, the orb was speaking through me. "You would dare bring impurity into MY DOMAIN!" The orb said through me. I wheezed. I once again tried to take my hand off but the orb wouldn't let me. I felt like I was being suffocated and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Leo ran turning into a Lion then he pushed me off the altar afterwards, he transformed back into a human then leaned down next to me as I struggled to breathe. "Leo." I managed to get out. Wheezing.

A giant burst of light this time, not from Leo and I came in with maybe around 50 people. "The Eclipse Order, they're here," Orion said. Their leader front and center with all the soldiers behind her. "Orion," She said, not even greeting him. Orion stood in front of Leo and I. "Solara, what do you want?" He asked. She smiled evily and pointed at Leo and I, who were still helping me to breathe. "I want the impures, they must die." Solara said. Leo got up, transforming back into a Lion and stood beside Orion, guarding me. "No." Orion said. Leo growled.

"Very well then," Solara lifted her hand into the sky. "ON MY SIGNAL." She yelled. "Let the games begin." Then she waved her hand, and all the men attacked. Orion summoned stone, turning it into a sword, and started to fight. Leo was jumping on the men left to right, attacking them as a Lion, causing them to fall down. Orion was having a sword duel with the men. I lifted my han,d trying to fill one with fear to help but I couldn't. I was too weak. My hand dropped like a sack of potatoes. I was still struggling to breathe. Orion stabbed another gu,y and Leo jumped on one. 

I didn't think I'd make it, I was taking my final breaths. As Orion was battling with one of the men, he looked back at me. "LUNA!" He yelled, quickly disposing of who he was fighting and running toward me. A singular tear fell from my eye, and another burst of energy came out of me. This time, it was blue. It went through the field like a wave causing all the men to fall down and they all started to cry. Solara didn't fall to the floor, but tears came from her eyes. She wiped her eye looking pissed.

"Do you see now, Orion? You've brought an impure disgrace into this world! She's too powerful and must be taken out. For her and our own good. "Not on my watch," Orion replied. One of the men who fell down pulled out a taser. I tried to scream to Leo or even tell Orion, but I couldn't get the words out, I was too weak. "Leo." I whispered so quietly not even Orion heard me. He then electrocuted Leo which caused him to fall down and whine as a Lion. This was the end, this was the last thing i'd ever see, hear, or say. And then, I died.
