Ash looks at me concerningly. My head feels as heavy as a whale on land. I could barely keep my eyes open. I'm relieved that this battle is over. I close my eyes once again. I'm just so tired. I'm so sleepy. I feel something hit my arm. I jot them open like a lightning bolt. 

"Sorry Puck this is going to hurt." Ash pulls my arm.

I yelp in pain.

"Yep, it's broken." Ash says.

"What took you so long to finger that out ice boy?!" I hiss.

"Sorry, wow. You're in worse shape than I thought." Ash says.

"Thanks for the confidence." I hiss.

"Let's get you up. Oh, and it's going to hurt." Ash says.

"Ow. Ow. Ow." I hiss as Ash pulls me up.

"Hang in their Puck." Ash says.

"I think I have massively broken my arm and my pride." I sigh.  

"Heck, I know you. It'll take more than that to destroy your pride." Ash says.

"Okay, okay. Point taken." I wince. 

I look up and see the rest of them coming forward. I feel myself slip through Ash's fingers. I slam into the ground. Ow... ow... ow... at least the sky is finally clear. The sky is blue like the sky. However, everything around me turns black. Voices meld and all I feel is silence. I feel the calmness of the water. I can feel the earth. I can feel the earth's heart beating as I sink into it.

"Puck!"

"Puck!"

....

"Puck!"

... Ngh...

"Puck!"

"....Hi..." I slowly open my eyes.

They were all staring at me. Mabe put her hand on my chest which was gutted open like a fish. I look down to the side of my face. I see blood pooling out of me. from beneath my fingertips. Yeah, that's not good. That's really not good. This feels awful.

"You are weak now Goodfellow. We have to get you back to the castle." Mabe says.

"Please do." I say.
