In the middleland mountain range, TOIRE, KEKI and OKE are ready to cross to reach the lowlands and take a better path to NANEKI.
Along the way they have been very good in the vines they formed, as well as taking care of each other so as not to fall.
TOIRE takes great care of KEKI, so that she does not make so much effort, the wound is still young.
It took much longer to heal, due to basilisk poison.
When they go to half mountain climbing are TOIRE, KEKI and OKE, it is venting a lot, they must be more careful, since the wind defevers their steps, they are not far from the top.
This has been the fourth mountain that pass, because, if they were surrounded, with that fissure that divides them, they would have to go down for weeks and raise them again.
They don't have that luxury of time.
At any time they could be found.
They help each other if they get to slip.
Already when they are near the fourth summit, TOIRE that goes to the front, it reaches to see a fissure about half a meter in diameter and within it can be distinguished, a red light that becomes yellow and apparently approaches the exit of the fissure.
TOIRE alerted, yells at them to hurry and they, not knowing what's going on, climb as fast as they can, the last one up is OKE to help push KEKI up, and when she's going to raise her missing foot, you're grided by a loop of light, she's pulled on KEKI's side, who alerted TOIRE OKE is squeezed into the wind, TOIRE takes his bow, strains it, waiting for the right moment, at the right time, throws his arrow, before touching that loop that squeezes OKE, moves and the arrow passes by, TOIRE without wasting time strains a second arrow and this one if she manages to hit the loop, which breaks by being OKE in the air, only that, she is not on top if not almost on the shore.
TOIRE runs, where OKE is falling, but will not reach it, will fall into the void, KEKI without waiting any longer, creates a gust of wind that brings it closer to shore and stops it safely long enough for TOIRE to reach, from that same hole in the earth, tearing the top of that cliff, comes a being that , is a squid-like mutation, the monster handles light and electric shocks.
The attack on OKE AND TOIRE is in an instant.
KEKI runs towards being, at some distance stops, burys his hands on earth, the energy emanating, attracts the attention of that beast, being turns to KEKI.
She's going to attack her, she stays calm with her eyes closed.
TOIRE and OKE yell at him to stay away, he must not intervene yet, and it is TOIRE who throws an arrow at that monster, who does not flink and see that this will not work, they rush to approach that squid, TOIRE uses his sword and OKE his daggers.
That beast again attempts to attack her, between the two defating her attack.
OKE asks him to lend him the sword he charges, to which KEKI refuses, tells him that that sword is sacred, to let the squid touch it.
OKE annoys with how foolish KEKI is, gets off the squid and tries to knock it down to get it out of there, but it couldn't, it's like a rock, the being is almost on them, just at that moment keKI's body comes out a light that forms a halo that covers them, from the earth come giant peaks made of rock and , though that being dodges some, one by one the monster who dies in cries of pain is buried, this stagnant and one of the tentacles reaches them, KEKI opens his eyes, the tentacle tries to enter the halo of light, shattering the part that has managed to enter. TOIRE quickly cuts the rest with his sword.
OKE is with KEKI who continues with his hands underground, at last breathing peacefully.
They think it's best to move on.
TOIRE AND OKE begin to advance, see that KEKI is still in the same place.
Return.
TOIRE asks KEKI, why is he still there?
KEKI something annoying and embarrassed tells him that there are still things he lacks to learn.
OKE recklessly completes the sentence: how to learn how to get your hands out!
TOIRE, look at her very seriously.
OKE, you understand your lack of tact.
TOIRE begins to sting the earth, with his sword, this area is very hard, KEKI seeing that it is more work for TOIRE than he expected, concentrates and gradually his hands leave the earth like a ghost (in the same way they entered) that crosses doors.
However, his hands are mistreated.
TOIRE when he sees his hands, asks if he is okay, he has an ointment that can help, she very embarrassed, does not answer him and starts walking, he thinks that after all KEKI is a little proud, although this does not bother him so much.
