BOOM!
The sound spread through the entire forest, then it was quickly followed by a graveyard silence.
Aria's eyes widened as the impact from the bullet tore straight through her stomach. She felt all the energy she had gathered before leaping up fade, leaving her unsupported mid-air.
THUD!
She fell to the ground with a loud thud. The strong metallic scent filled the air as her cold blood seeped into the earth, painting the ground crimson. Her eyes remained locked on the leader of the group, who floated above her on his hoverboard.
His loud, mocking laughter tore through the air. "Ridiculous," he spat as he pointed his own gun down at her. "I didn't plan on causing this much havoc, but I guess you're all too stubborn." He gently pressed his fingers against the trigger.
The Orcs could only watch with hopeless gazes as he prepared to execute Aria.
"Sir, we've found the crystal!" one of the men suddenly shouted, catching the leader's attention.
