"Please go!" Her voice jolted him back to his senses.

Varian looked up and saw Amanda fighting the fire wolf. Her body was trembling, but she kept attacking. Distracting. Buying time. 

"Run Varian! Please!" She pleaded. 

Roar!

The fire wolf injured her and Amanda clutched her stomach in pain.

"Mom!" Varian yelled.

He must save her. At all costs. He gathered all the energy in his body and—

"Huh?!" He couldn't move.

Varian saw the Fire Wolf biting down Amanda's shoulder.

'Move!' He commanded his body.

His heart raced, and he used every ounce of his will to command his body to rush in front of her and save her.

But his body was like a corpse. No matter how much he willed, forced and commanded, it laid on the ground and didn't budge.

At that moment, he hated himself. 

Finally, the Fire Wolf opened its mouth and—

"NO!"

Varian woke up.
