Fire and Ashes
Augus ran over to help as he grabbed Felix’s mandibles and put all of his weight on them. He didn’t care that his teeth cut his hands as they both snapped backwards and he could feel Felix scream and struggle from beneath the water.
Felix was already in pain as it felt like someone had bent a finger all the way back when Crassus snatched him by the spur. then… then he felt his mandibles bending backwards then breaking. The pain was more than he could have imagined as he struggled against it the water filling his lungs. It burned as his body starved for air.
He held Felix beneath the water with all his waning strength as he struggled and fought against both them. But Crassus wasn’t letting go and he knew Augus wouldn’t. One way or the other, Felix wasn’t leaving this room again and they’d make sure of it.
With all the struggling he felt something he hadn’t expected, Felix’s mandibles ripped off his body as the water turned blue with blood. He did the next thing he could and drove his thumbs through Felix’s eyes. he refused to loose his grip on him, he refused to let him leave alive.
Grim shrieked sucking in more water, he struggled for life, struggled against them both as everything went painfully black. Slowly he was left with just his thoughts and then nothing as his body quit fighting, quit twitching, there wasn’t anything left..
