"This isn't real- this isn't right
My sister doesn't lose this fight
My sister doesn't die tonight!"
"I hate these white robe men, why couldn't Garth just win!?
Astrid is lying there because I made us lose again!
If I trained as hard as her maybe we'd have won here
But I fall to the floor- feeble- confined by fear"
"What am I supposed to do?
Astrid, wake up, please, I need you!"
Grub, while weak, manages to speak
"The gem she gave you, Kat!"
But she doesn't understand
"At this point what good is that?"
"Lightning is what stopped her heart
Maybe it will start it back"
She doesn't understand, but a better plan she lacks
One hand holds the volt gem, one her friend on the floor
Kat's never fired a volt gem at anybody before
She pulls the energy, it passes through her heart
Into her sister's own, which then restarts
Kat's never been so relieved in her life
She sobs and holds her sister tight
Grub limps his way over to his best friends
"Did not like, would not do again!"
Astrid's skin is now marred with lightning scars
Limbs wrapped in tree roots charred
The battle with White Robe she did not survive
Yet she'll make it out alive
Kat is worried about how things will be
Once they've all gone home
And she contemplates the white robe dying, lying prone
