Step… Step…
Leo slowly walked towards the relic, his legs were dragging, the strength in his body already drained, he could barely keep his consciousness, his muscles, every inch of his body was screaming for release… as if they wanted to lie down and take a deep rest, not wanting to move an inch too.
But he forced those dying limbs forward, breath ragged, vision trembling, every step a silent argument between life and collapse.
Yet, he didn't have any option… other than moving forward!
That's all he could do!
That's where his hope lay… he kept moving forward… his hand holding his sword like a lifeline, fingers tightening around the hilt, as he slowly reached towards the hovering relic. Its glow shimmered like a heartbeat in the void, a pulse calling him closer.
Just then,
Tang!
His hand moved back, blocking Camazotz's sharp claws.
