Chapter 12(Chapters will come out rapidly. Want to get the extinction sequel out and start the genesis sequel before genesis 2 comes out.

- The Nazgûl

Spark and Alex talked as they walked. Alex spoke first.

“What do you think will happen next?”

“I don’t know. If we win this fight, we might be able to return to earth. But I can’t stop thinking about the fact that I am allowing us to be cornered. I could be leading us to our demise.”

“Don’t talk like that. Every military move I have ever seen you make was risky, but it worked. Like on Ragnarok when we charged straight through enemy territory. That worked out.”

“Yeah. But we had a way of escape. This time we don’t. We either do or die.”

“That is how it always has been Spark.”

“How do you do it?”

“Do what?”

“Keep a positive attitude and be fearless. Somehow, you rally everyone and win fights that are impossible. Like when we took Viking Bay. We lost so many, yet you, the least likely person to see stand up and charge out there, rally everyone and charge out and win against impossible odds. How do you do it Alex?”

“Spark, fear is our enemy. We lose when fear takes hold of us. I rallied them because they were hopeless. There is always hope and to see someone still ready to fight; that is enough hope for them. Sometimes you only need the slightest spark to start a wildfire of courage. Isn’t that why you chose your name? Jenny chose you for a reason. You will lead us to victory. I know it. Just don’t let fear take hold of you.”

“What would I do without you?”

“Nothing. You would be lost.”

“Hey!”

“Just messing with you. You know me. We both fight better when we feel happy and competitive.”

“Anything else you want to tell me before we prepare for battle?”

“I get the long tunnel.”

“Alright. Let’s get ready to make our last stand.”
