Just like lightning, I watched his shard start its journey towards the woman with human speed, giving fire to my feet as I zipped towards them with everything I had in me.
'You can do it,' I heard the Primordial say to me, motivating me to move even faster as I ran towards Mary. I could feel her warmth, her touch, her kisses and her words. Those hands which had groomed me to the stage I was at. Those hands which had taken me to a higher level. Those words she had said to me which had ingrained into my heart the values of family. How could I sit by idly and watch her die from this mage's attack? I had to do something and all I had at my disposal was my speed. I was not a mage to counter his attacks nor was I a banshee to channel my powers to him specifically. I was a vampire, speed was all I had.
Concentrating on the muscles on my feet, I dug deeper into the ground, fighting to surpass the shard reaching for her chest.
