She lay there: half dead, half alive; barely able to open her eyes. Fear consumed her body, but not her heart: not tearing her fully a part. Cassiopeia was about to look death in the eye, and blink. She was bleeding out, her vision had gone shaky, her breathing heavy, as searing pains ripped through her leg, then running up her spine, and crackling like explosions of fireworks in her head: the world around her was going dim, but beyond the searing pains ripping through her leg: a pain stabbed her
