6 - World on Fire

Start from the beginning
                                    

They walked back to the village in time to see the wells exploding, then a violent roar exploded at their back. From the mountain.
"Run back to the river" Halbrand ordered "Now!".
"I don't leave you" she protested seeing him unsure on what path to take.
The village wasn't close enough and the people were already panicking.
"The river!" he shouted as they saw fire exploded by the top of the mountain.
It was the end of the world.
Luthien felt clumsy in her running, fear squeezed her heart as she expected any of those bolts from the mountain to hit her.
The ground shook more vigorously under her and she was pushed into the water.
She felt a heat wave burning the surface as she panicked and struggled under water.
Suddenly she felt like one of her nightmares, swallowed by the sea. She saw Halbrand's unconscious body floating in the water.
She tried to reach him, but no matter how much she fought, the current pulled her away from him.
She screamed and swallowed water, until there was only pain and darkness.

🎵One day, you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember🎶

Why that day had to come so soon? 🙄

I'm glad of having given to the characters the extra day of peace. I mean, even Bronwyn was dying and it would take more than few hours for her to recover enough to walk and talk as we saw in the show, right? 😅

And why Halbrand suddenly became so cold? Luthien still doesn't know his real heritage as he doesn't know hers -or so he claims- so he struggled to keep her away from that knowledge. And when it became too dangerous (villagers hailing the promised king), he took her away from the village before it could reach her ears.

Writing from her point of view is turning very useful, but I feat that fear sometimes it might be confusing, so I wanted to explain in case you didn't guess it 😁

So again, I'm here dying to wait to know what happens in the next episode 🥺
How can people survive that hell?
Throwing my character and Halbrand into the river seemed a fair way to save them, but how can anyone survive all that heat and smoke?
That scene scared the hell out of me and I need to see how Halbrand gets out of that. Hoping just covered in sweat and smoke 😅

But the good news is that I've got enough ideas to continue this story even if Halbrand turns out to be Sauron or the Witch King or anything the writers of the show came up with 🤓 unless they are really evil and invented something that kills this story 😂

I hope you appreciate this little update and that you'll enjoy the new episode this Friday 💓
I might share again a comment after watching that, while it may take a little longer before I can continue this story since I'm into very busy days and I struggle to find some little free time to write, so please have some patience 🙏

One last thing, I found the soundtrack for this story, inspired by that last scene in the sixth episode 🔥
It's one of my fav songs, I should have noticed it earlier, since it gives the right vibes I want for this story 🔥🖤
If you don't know the song, I suggest you to check the video I attached to this chapter and to check its lyrics, let me spoil you this bit:

I'll return from darkness and will save your precious skin
I will end your suffering
let the healing light come in

Stay tuned and stay safe everyone 😊💓

Stay tuned and stay safe everyone 😊💓
