Maybe this will kill me. Oh gods, I hope so. I throw my hand out. My magic was flickering in my hands. I can't hold this forever. I mean, I probably could. How long can I hold this as we run. We were getting father and father away.

"Calidain stop!" Vax grabs my hand.

I push him back. I throw my other hand forward. I can see my own vison blurring. Definitely a good sign. Maybe if we get far enough I could die. I just want an end to my suffering. I see my magic fading. I cough up blood. That's a good sign.

"We're clear! Calidain stop!" Vex yells.

No... I have to know. I have to break myself free from this suffering. I have to end it. I want to end it.  I see the wagon ducking into the trees. I grip my hands. More... more... more power. I have to end it. I've been cursed for long enough. I feel blood spewing from my mouth. My vision was blurring. My magic was draining. Yes... yes... yes. 

"Stop! Please!" I hear.

Vax grabs me by the waist. I jump in surprise.

"Not yet, please, not yet." He cries.

I let out a breath. Something stops within me. I drop my hands. Why? Why does he care so much about me? He was crying. I could tell. I bite my lip. I wipe the blood from my mouth. So close and yet so far. I slam my hand against the wood. 

"We're... clear..." I spit out blood.

I look around. 

"Get...a...fire...going...we...should...rest...here...tonight..." I say.
