I couldn’t do much more, my energy failing. I wasn’t going to be able to hold them off any longer. I flung whatever my mind could get a hold of at them, but they just kept on coming. Come on Gaia close the portal I know you can do it! I created a shield around myself to block their blows, but that drained most of my energy. I was failing. I couldn’t fail though, or else Gaia would get hurt… and the world. Something bashed into my stomach, making me fly many yards backwards. One of them broke my mental barrier. I was weakening, but I couldn’t let myself stop! I pushed up against the ground so I was kneeling. I was distracted from my planning of the attack on the tree creatures in front of me by my name. I turned to where Gaia had called me and saw her running away from the control panel, what was she doing? I saw her toss something at me, then turned away. When I saw it was the necklace I’d given her I lost my stomach.“What are you doing?!” I yelled after her. The portal was still open and every second thousands of those monstrous beings were flying into our world. Then I realized she was running straight at the portal. I chased after her. She couldn’t do this!!!! I had to stop her, it was suicide. She was too far ahead, and my legs couldn’t move any faster, I was going to lose her. Even before I could tell her I loved her. She reached the portal and without turning back, jumped.
“NOOOOOO!!!!!!!” The shimmering light of the portal disappeared, it had closed. She was gone.
I fell to my knees ignoring the rain pouring down from the storm just overhead, ignoring the millions of creatures scattering across the land of our world. None of it mattered now. I lost Gaia because I wasn’t strong enough…
