I should have seen it coming. Things always seem to take a turn for the worse when you least expect it. If we survive this I swear I'll punch Murphy in the face. "Help me!" the Void Knight cried. I jumped from tile to tile, praying that none of them would give way, until I hopped onto the tile the Void Knight was despirately clinging to. "Hold on!" I shouted, grabbing the void knight's hand and despirately tried to pull her up. Then I felt the tile beneath my feet begin to tremble.
There was only one chance for me to save us both, "Hold on!" I ordered. Grabbing a lotus dart in each hand, I launched myself towards the wall just as the tile gave way. The darts made impact with the wall, and wedged into the cracks. I let out a sigh of relief, "Well, I guess we're going to be hanging around here for a while, at least until the others devise some sort of plan to get us out of this mess, assuming they didn't fall to their deaths." The Void Knight didn't seem convinced, "Look!" she pointed. The darts were slowly begining to lose their grip from the wall.
"There's only one way you're going to survive this." The Void Knight said, begining to loosen her grip. "Don't play the hero! We can still make it!" I yelled. "Tell Commodore Tyre that I gave it my best, and...tell Eccentrix that I..." the Void Knight lost her grip and began to fall to her death. "No!" I shouted in despair. She was my responisbility, I couldn't let her fall to her death like this. A dark shape plummeted after the falling knight.
To my astonishment, the dark figure captured the falling knight and lifted her to safety. It was a fruit bat! "You weren't thinking about dieing on me now weren't you miss?" a familiar voice chuckled. "Eccentrix, is that you!" I called out. "It most certainly is!" Eccentrix replied. "When you're done playing hero I'd also like to get off of this wall." I shouted back. The fruit bat emerged from the dark and gripped me by the shoulders, lifting me off the wall.
There's ALWAYS a bigger fish.
