A Missed Chance

"Stop! Your men are falling." Regaleon shouted but the queen acted as if she didn't hear anything and continued.

"Damit!" Regaleon cursed. "Disperse out. Don't let yourself fall." He ordered.

Regaleon looked at the queen that was looking at him with a piercing gaze.

'I need to stop this lunatic and fast.' Regaleon thought as he was thinking of a way out of this predicament.

The queen's men together with his men are clinging for their lives in the splitting ground. Under them Regaleon can see molten lava flowing calm and steadily.

"My queen… help… ahh.ahhhhh." One of the queen's men shouted. The earth he was holding on gave in and he fell and sank on the molten lava. "Ahh… help me…" The man's screams seized after the lava swallowed him.

"Queen Patricia, are you crazy?!" I looked at her standing at the edge above them. "Your men are falling to their deaths."
