Shadow Element

"We don't have much time."

Eliza peered out from behind the boulder where she was hiding, observing the monster slowly approaching them.

"I'll buy as much time as I possibly can." She said this with an uneasy expression on her face.

Luke sighed as he looked at Eliza and the others. He did have a plan to get them out of this situation alive.

Another truth he had kept hidden, even from his own family,

A secret he would like to keep for as long as possible, but now is not the time.

"Eliza! Don't worry, I'll be there to support you."

"Instead, fight!"

Luke yelled, drawing the monster's attention.

Eliza hastily tilted her head at him, perplexed. "Was he telling her to die?" She hesitated.

"Believe me!"

She paused, then let out a small laugh. Eliza had decided to give this guy a chance because she didn't have any other alternatives.

"I'm prepared."

Then she raced out, catching the attention of the monstrous corpse flower.
