"Yes. I'm fine." She wanted him to stay focused and not pay any attention to her. She swallowed the pain and faced the last two mages casting lighting down from the sky. One dodged to the side while the other fell to the ground.

Terra gripped her side tightly keeping her eyes in front of her as the battle raged on.

With a few well placed strikes Bartz is able to take to the remaining mage down on his own. But it looks like they've about reached their limit. Bartz shoulders his spear again and walks over to Terra.

“I think we've done what we can in this fight. We should probably go.”

And since she looks like she's hurting pretty bad, he doesn't want to just grab her and pull her along. So he reaches out and very gently picks her up, princess style. And then it's time to get to safety.

“Let me know if anything hurts, okay?”

[greenmagick]

Terra instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck worried that she might fall from his grasp. She really wasn't used to people picking her up and she whelped in surprise as he began walking away from the fires.

"A-alright."

She wasn't sure if she was ready to stop fighting but she wasn't in very good shape to continue so she let Bartz carry her away without any struggle. Her eyes watching the fires fade into burning glows in the distance.

Once they're a safe enough distance away, he'll stop and set her down gently.

"There. We should be alright here."

Bartz glances back in the direction of the battle. It's hard to tell the state of the conflict from this distance, but there does seem to be fewer fires than before. He flashes her a grin.

"Hey, that plan of yours was pretty good. I think taking out those mages made a real difference."

Her gaze followed his to the flames hoping that there wasn’t anyone still left in those burning buildings. It was amazing and terrifying how fast fire would spread. He pulled her attention away from her musings with his boyish smile. She was glad that it went well and that he wasn’t hurt any more than that first attack that he had shielded her from.

“Yes.” Terra didn’t know what else to say. She could feel her heart beat frantically drumming within her chest even though the battle was so far form them now. It would be foolish to try and do more but she couldn’t shake the images of flames from her mind.

He lets his gaze drift back to the flames. He can tell the whole thing has still has her pretty shaken up. Turning back to her again, he rests a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry. There were a lot of heroes out there. Fighting with us. There's no way our side's gonna lose."

Bartz is able to say that with genuine confidence. He's good at believing in other people.

If your cool with ending this here PS I LOVE BARTZ!

"Your right."

Terra smiled up at Bartz grateful for everything that he has done for her even if she wasn't the girl her remembered.
