"BIG BROTHER! No!!!" Snow stood still and register everything into her tiny mind. First, her big brother forces something to her face, then an army of rabbits came charging in. Then a waft of yellow gas filled the room and she was hugged by Lucas to sleep... and when she woke up, she saw Lucas's lifeless body slowly plummeting down from the air. Too much, this is too much.
Little Snow is so confused right now, she's falling into despair, she wanted to help but was helpless. Lucas told her to run, but run where? She wanted to save him, but save how? Her body definitely cannot take the weight of the falling boy. 'What to do? Why are there so many dead plants? Why are there so many rabbits lying on the ground bleeding? Why is big brother pierced by a vine? Ahhhhh! How to save big brother?!? Move, you stupid legs! MOVE!!!' Snow's mind was on the verge of breaking down, tears started to form unknowingly, rolling out of her deep blue eyes as she stares at the murder scene in front of her.
Her frozen legs seem to hear her calling and obeyed, moving as fast as they could, as she pounced towards Lucas. 'The plants must all be dead, all are not moving! Ah, I don't care, save big brother is the top priority!'
When she arrived in front of the fallen Lucas, all she could finally see the mummified body which has a hole in its body. 'Brother! Wake up! Wake up! Don't leave me! Wake up! No! Don't leave me alone! Yo...you promised that you would bring me to find my father and mother! No... Don't...' Snow ran forward to push the deflated body, carrying a hope that the Lucas might come back.
Satisfied after drinking dry the blood, the vine slowly pulls itself out of the Lucas and returns to the main body to transfer the blood that it drank to the heart of the plant. The red crystal hidden in the layers of vines started to grow redder.
'Ah~ I'm dead again? Haha, it's true when they said you get high when low on blood. Now then, I need to buy blood again? Can't you give me a discount? No matter what, I'm considered an old customer, no?'
'Snow's beside me?!? Shh! Faster give me blood now! I need to get her away!'
Like a balloon, Lucas's body slowly gains back it's pink hue and fattens up. The wounds start closing and the boney figure is no longer exposed. Strength starts to flow back to his body as he slowly opens his eyes.
'Big brother!' seeing Lucas's body condition improves so quickly, Snow is relieved, tears starts to flow out of her eyes again, but her worries were only repaid with a scolding. "Didn't I told you to run?!? Why are you here? Run away quickly!" Lucas screamed in a hoarse voice.
"No! I won't leave big brother! Big brother, don't leave me!" Snow extended her tiny claws and tightly clinging to his robes, no matter what Lucas said, she would never let go.

"Quest? Oh, right, you've leveled up. Ha~ I wanted revenge anyway, might as well kill it!" Lucas sits up with a smirk on his face while he forms out a plan in his mind.
"Quest... Level... Kill? No, big brother, let's run! That monster is attacking again!" Snow desperately tried to pull Lucas out of the room with her mouth, but how strong could a cub be? It's like an ant playing tug of war with a shoe, no matter how light the shoe is, the ant can never make it budge.
"Little Snow, listen to me. Big brother can never die, big brother here is an immortal, don't worry. You have already seen me revived once, so run now. You will only be a hindrance here." Lucas cupped his two palms on Snow's face and said harsh tone, he can't help but hurt her feelings if it's the only way to keep her safe. The words really did pierce Snow's heart, she immediately ran out of the room with tears filled eyes, never looking back. 'Little Snow is a hindrance!'
'Sorry Snow, I have to do this. I don't want you to get hurt, I've promised to protect you. I've caused this, I will end it. System, take out my spear.'
