Out

I watched it disappear and collapsed in relief.

That relief had lasted only for a moment before I remember worrying about things.

I looked, and a horror reappeared on my face.

The red energy is still covering me, which is good. I am torn in every part of me. If this energy disappeared, I would die, and it wouldn't take me even a second.

The damage is too big.

'I hope you will help me with it,' I said to the being, and as usual, there was no reply.

So, I waited. For the being, for the other help, while I analyzed my condition and every angle, I looked, I could not see a way out.

The injuries are too deep.

Even with all the forbidden power and the rarest of resources, I couldn't save myself.

I hate to admit it, but I couldn't.

If I had a minute, I could do something, but here, I couldn't do anything. I would die, the second energy would disappear.

Which isn't much of a time.
