Eli gasped as he ran.

Every particle of dust and water registered in his mouth.

He saw the terror spread before him for at least a mile.

Buildings were wrecked.

Houses were reduced to rubble.

His feet ached as he parkoured.

Parts of the street were stained red.

His nostrils were flooded with the scent of blood.

Wizards lay around, weakly moaning for help.

Domus Flau roared in the distance.

The teenager rapidly shook his head.

He closed his eyes and focused on his hearing.

"I've had enough. Let's settle the score once and for all, Shadowy Slut!" a voice cried in the distance.

"You the same, Scarlet S***," a deeper feminite voice countered.

The Sun Mage opened his eyes to a flash of black light. As he ran, Eli felt an immense gravitational force pulling him towards his destination. Including the shadows.

Off in the distance, a sphere of darkness rapidly grew. Seconds later the teen was enveloped into complete darkness!

His mouth tasted normal.

He couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

His nose stopped smelling.

He could only hear basic movements.

"Callie!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

No response.

"Callie!"

Nothing.

The mysterious gravitational force grew in strength.

"Oh no," he whispered, "Cal, did you open your Second Origin?"

He narrowed his eyes.

"No. It's probably Scarlet Witch."

Eli dug his feet into the earth and jogged forward.

"Cal, where are you!" he yelled again.

A flash of white light appeared in the distance. Seconds later he was thrown backwards!

Eli opened his eyes and looked down. He was kneeling on the ground with Cal's head in his hands. He removed one hand and saw it coated in crimson. Another glance forced him to see her hooked up to endless wires in the hospital. Flowers coated the edge of her bed.

"Calypso!" he cried.

Her pale face had death written all over it.

Bee-beep. Bee-beep. Bee-beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

"No! No! No! Calypso!"

Time: April 26th, X820 ~4am

Location: Sabertooth

Objective: To heal

"Calypso!" the eighteen-year-old yelled as he sat up.

Eli scanned the darkness.

He swung his long arms around. One hand collided with a pillow behind him. The other smoothed out sheets along his legs.

He leaned over to the right and tapped around. His shaky fingers pressed a button, illuminating the darkness.
