Battle for the Earth (8)

The scythe got dislodged moments after I spoke. At the same time, the earth beneath our feet exploded. I felt myself getting dragged up into the air as I lost my grip on the scythe.

Vixia screamed and buried her head in my chest. 

The dark pit of nothingness covered my entire field of view. I closed my eyes shut. It was too much, and nothing at the same time. Having experienced death once before, I was more scared of the stream of memories that followed than the event itself.

I felt something around my ankle, and then that something yanked me back. My eyes shot open as I frantically looked at my feet, only to see a branch of some sort wrapped around my ankle. Like a lifeline, it pulled us away from the black hole.

"What?" Vixia whispered. 

"No way…" I mumbled, could it be? Was it actually possible?
