key quest
Off Wessex goes, and into her system the burst of adrenaline is shot. Faster, stronger, luckier, even. And she'll need it. Because her plan? It isn't her best.
The arrow is placed into the crossbow and instantly becomes ablaze. Sunlight is not fire, and nor is this an attack on Wessex. This is the queen holding a flaming weapon, and thus she's defenceless against the flames as they lick up her fingers and hands. Luckily the monster is similarly defenceless as her aim rings true and the arrow strikes the creature directly in the chest. Flames lick around the monster, creeping over its chest and scalding the precarious fluid that runs through its system.
Time is running out, running out, running out.
The monster gauges how very close to the end of its lifespan it is. The math is easy. Can it survive another attack from Wessex? Perhaps. Can it survive the damage splashed back onto it if it attacks her? Unlikely.
So it does the thing all good machines do. It fulfills its task.
Lumbering toward the queen on broken limbs—yet still possessing shocking speed and strength—a light begins to flash from somewhere deep within. A countdown.
And then the world goes white.
When the after glare of the explosion lessens, there is only one left standing. Or kneeling, perhaps; it was quite the fucking thing that just happened. Metal rains down from the sky as the near atomic-level devastation and debris settles. Almost like falling snow, bits of not-entirely-organic-matter fall gently from the sky. Somewhere far away there is the whine of metal as it burns and collapses on itself. A blue eye rolls listless and lifelessly into the snow.
Wessex is alive. And the monster is not.
