I expected to be pinned down and have to fight for my blood, but I made it to the northern tower just fine.
When the passage opens I hear the familiar screams of the blessed dead, and smile.
Like moms singing.
I whistle a tune on the way down, looking for Bund and Alma around the walls.
I find one protecting the other.
Bund has been fed on heavily and so has Alma.
Yet she stays conscious, I can see the inflammation on her neck, along with a bruise on her face as they both have been heavily beaten.
"You're alive" I return the old mans words, and he begins to shake in rhythm while lying down.
He is laughing just like I did.
"Well, you know how this goes" I say with a chuckle.
I get a grunt from the old man, and Alma struggles to rise.
Patiently I wait for them to rage, just as they waited for me.
Same fight, different day.
Letting out ten commas from my fingers, I begin to send pulses.
