Chapter 35

*ROAR*

The creature had once again roared, but this time it seemed to be a little further away while the noise that had been created from its roar echoed throughout the cave, reaching the outside and causing me to pale even more than I already was.

'Crap'

I found myself whispering "One more push" More often than ever.

My blood was rushing through me faster than ever which not only meant that I was getting adrenaline to calm my pains but also meant that the blood loss from my missing arm would only increase in rate and volume.

Yet, no matter how fast I might have been, I was simply not as fast as I would have liked to think I was.

The ground shook, evident when looking at the rocks that bounced up and down whenever I would hear the footsteps behind me, slowly but surely getting closer to me even though I was moving at my fastest speed.

Maybe I would have had better chances with two arms, but one?

The chances did not look like they were going to be in my favor this time.

Was this going to be the end?

Was I really going to fail everyone and everything that had ever believed in me?

Am I really going to die in vain, just like everyone else?

Was this... Was this really the end?

*Quaaaaawwwk*

A loud, sky-shaking shriek reverberated throughout the lands and swept through the forest, making every creature within it shake involuntarily.
