I turned and crept closer. It was pretty dark. I wasn't sure how close I was. There would be no forgiveness here. One step too many and I was just another casualty. I took my best guess and loaded a flare and pointed it where I thought the cave was. I fired. WHOOSH.... It was a beautiful shot. I watched the sizzling flare arch up and rise, then droop into a flat run towards the cave entrance. It seemed to disappear for a second, then... KERBOOOOMMMMMMMM.... The whole ridge lit up. I could see a great fireball rise within the cave and even through cracks high in the side of the ledge. The last thing I remembered was a ghostly, beautiful, blue and green ring racing across the ground towards me. I woke to feel a warm, wet face on mine. I opened my eyes to see nothing. I could smell Andra close. I reached up to find her face, and softly wipe at the tears there. "Hun, I think I'm blind, I can't see a thing." I said quietly.
