“Hurry! Get them!”

“Don’t let them escape!”

Three women ran their way through various corridors, trying to avoid as many fights as they can. One slightly twisted her body to look behind her and wave her arm in the air, causing a spark of fire to land on an enemy’s chest. All of a sudden, another soldier came out from a side corridor and attacked one of the women.

“! Kyung-mi! Yuna! Hurry and find a way out!”

Both of the other girls turned around, stopping a few steps ahead as the first girl turned around to face their opponents. “Eun-mi!” they both yelled out.

“I’ll protect you, guys!” Eun-mi shouted back as Yuna forced Kyung-mi to follow her. The former turned back around to face her friends before facing her right palm out towards their backs and a white shield formed around them each then disappeared into thin air. She faced her opponents again before the same color white shield formed around her body and she used her weapon and arms to defend herself as she tried to let the other two get ahead of them. She winced when one of the four soldiers made a deep cut on her arms. She tried summoning the flower from the tattoo on her left shoulder to ask help from her guide but started to panic when nothing happened. All of a sudden, one of the soldiers fell to the ground, dead.

“Go!” a voice yelled out. Eun-mi looked up to see a young man cutting down his own soldiers. “Hurry up!”

She looked to the man questioningly before turning around and following after her friends. It didn’t take long for her to catch up to them since they were starting to get surrounded by more soldiers.

“Just go already, Kyung-mi! We’ll be fine. Find the way out!” Yuna shouted out as she killed one soldier and Kyung-mi already poisoned another. “Eun-mi! Let’s go already!” the commando of the group called out as she cut down another soldier and waited for her friend to jump over to their area before shooting out a huge fire spell towards the remaining soldiers.

“Eun-mi! I need to heal you!” Kyung-mi yelled out as they continued to keep running until they hit a closed corridor.

“Later, Mi! Let’s survive this first!”

Yuna instantly unsheathed her sword from her back with her right hand and stabbed it into an access control panel beside the door, causing the huge door to slide open. They stared surprised at the scene before them when they heard a bunch of footsteps coming up from behind them.

“Stop! You won’t get awa-!” a voice yelled out before being suddenly cut off.

All three women turned around at the voice to see almost all of the three soldiers already dead. “Who are you?” Yuna asked, keeping her sword out and taking a stance. She made sure she had bullets since her sword was able to shoot bullets as well.

“…A friend,” the man replied before walking up to them slowly. He stuck out his hand, “Hurry and lend me your focus.”

“Why?” Eun-mi asked as she narrowed her eyes, removing her double-bladed spear from her back and taking her stance on the other side of Kyung-mi, who took out a foot long metal bar with one sharp end from a pouch on her right thigh and extended it into a type of staff.

“You heard of those turning into crystals and disappearing after completing their focuses, right?” He quickly turned around to hear more footsteps coming their way. He turned back around, “Lend me your focus, and you three will turn into crystals. I’ll send you to where you three will stay safe until you completely finish your goals.”

The three girls stayed silent for a minute before Kyung-mi spoke up, “Let’s do it.”

Eun-mi turned to her friend, “How can we trust him?”

Yuna looked to the guy in front of her, recognizing him from somewhere in just the slightest bit, “Hold out your hands and direct it at him.”

“Yuna!”

“Just do it,” the other responded back, “We’ll be safe.”

Yuna and Kyung-mi slowly raised their hands and focused their cruel, destined focuses into the man’s body. Eun-mi frowned but followed her friends. Within the next minute, the black tattoos on each of their bodies turned white with a thin layer of what looked like ice completely covering it and felt their body start emitting a frozen temperature. The man watched as they started turning into crystal humans in a full crystal stone. He sighed as he summoned his own guide from the tattoo on his neck before a feather floated away from his neck and into the air.

The three women watched surprised as he grabbed the feather and threw it into the air. The last words they ever heard and saw were, “Good luck.”

The man’s guide fell from the sky and swooped into the large entrance that was opened by Yuna before grabbing the three crystals and flying away from the castle they were in. The man watched as his guide flew farther and farther away from him until he saw three glints of light fall and his guide fly back up into the sky.

“Where are they?!” a soldier demanded the man.

The man turned around to face his fellow soldiers, “I lost them. They jumped off.”

The soldiers turned back around the other way, “Hurry! They couldn’t have gotten far!”

The other turned back around to see the curved expanse of the rest of their planet, “Hurry.”
