She had been careless. She just wanted to take the shot. She felt nothing in her shoulder, but the old man was over her, pulling her against the wall by the door, speaking words of comfort, pressing gauze against her wound. She was happy; she had seen the villain fall.
“Are you alright?” asked Besh. He looked past the open door, then stood and ran through.
Heaven pulled herself around to face the sunlit scenery. She blinked against sudden pain. She felt the earth shake, and saw motes of dust fall through beams of light. She sat and turned. She saw the villain staggering toward a tall monolith covered in vines. Besh, for an old man, pursued with determination. A stab of pain caused her breath to catch in her throat. She blinked again and focused on the pursuit. They were small figures moving in the distance, a villain in a white and blue robe, a nondescript stranger running behind.
Heaven pressed the gauze against her bleeding wound, but she had more interest in the chase. Would Besh catch the Evil Overlord? Could he prevail against a villain who had once been his friend?
She almost missed it; she had been focused on the black tactical vest Besh wore. She blinked and looked again. The Villain had disappeared into the rock. Voices came to Heaven’s ear. Yes. It was Driscoll and Olaf calling her name. With vision dimming, Heaven shook her head, sensing the approach of the Lieutenant through the dark storage.
Heaven focused her eyes on the standing stones. Besh was there. Driscoll was speaking to her, kneeling beside her, checking her wound. It hurt like hell, but Heaven did not care. She could not look away from the monolith. And then, she saw it with her own eyes. The old man disappeared into solid rock.
