I open my eyes. Adira's blade was inches above my head. She was hesitating. I could see her eyes; she didn't seem to intent about this. I look at her.

"Well... are you going to do it?" I ask.

She lets out a breath. She drops the blade. I'll take that as a no. I look at her.

"I'm sorry Hector, none of us can. There has to be another way." Adira said reaching out her hand. 

"There isn't!" I yell standing up.

There is only one way to stop Zhan Tiri, by stopping me. If I am not stopped, Corona will be doomed. 

"Hector, we'll find a new way." Edmund said.

"There is no other way!" I yell. 

My anger caused more black rocks to spread. They erupt out of the ground. I draw back. My breath quickens.

"It's okay, it's okay Hector." Adira said walking over. 

I back away. I can't hurt them. I can't. I grip my head. I take a breath. Calm down. Calm down. I look at them. Every eye is telling me that they can't do it.

"Hector none of us can do it." Quirin said walking over.

"Except one." I say. 

I take the sword. 

"Hector no!" Adira yelled.

I was about to plunge it into my chest, but something grabs it. The shadow of Zhan Tiri. Everyone gasped.

"Oh, so now they can see you?" I look at her.

"There's a time and place for everything and you didn't think this would be so easy." She said.
