The Shepherd's Light cut Tiamoni's arm to the bone, cutting off all the nerves that pass through the flesh and skin. A painful sob escaped from the girl's chest. Tears filled my eyes.
'Bite, monster!'
Ranon clutched at his arm. Ranon bit again and again, climbed into the crevice to get the bastard.
But each time Tiamoni used her poor hand as a meat shield from bites. The girl used the Shepherd's Light, but it only partially injured ranon.
Unable to bite, Susannah hooked up her claws.
Romulus could hear the girl's moans, and he was sick of his own uselessness.
Tiamoni herself turned gray.
'I have to ... I have to survive! We must survive!.. I won't let myself and Romulus die, because...
Because we haven't married yet, we haven't raised children...
We haven't lived happily ever after. We just can't die so ignominiously! We just can't! I don't want this, you're an amulan ranon!!!'
Tiamoni furiously hit her hand. The force of the blow was transmitted to ranon's jaw. Susannah fell backwards, pinning Chu down.
Tiamoni put her good arm around Romulus and ran out of the crevice.
The paralyzed arm flew in the wind, swayed limply when running on the rocks, devoid of nervous commands.
Susannah came to her senses and ran after him. 'Her strength has clearly grown.'
'Which one? The monster is about to catch up with us! We must hurry!'
Tiamoni wanted to throw all her strength, but she did not notice the treacherous stone. The girl stumbled and twisted her leg.
Lying on the ground, Tiamoni could smell the cloying smell of burnt blood. The girl could already literally feel Ranon's saliva on her neck.
'Come on, defective, get up! We can't die here!'
She got up. His sprained leg was burning. Efforts. Anger. Fear. Despite her wishes, Tiamoni was slower. A clawed paw squeezed her shoulder.
The girl shot Ranon. The light was boring into the flesh β Susannah ignored the damage.
'I'm finished... and I can't even tell Romulus how much he's important to me...'
Tiamoni let Romulus go to the ground and kicked off her sandals β these mi pae movements will bring more benefit to Romulus than a lame Tiamoni.
'You can hardly use them for a long time and effectively because of the pae of secrecy, but this is the last... the last thing I can do ... I'm sorry.'
Susannah opened her mouth
'These couple of days were unforgettable ... thank you, Romulus... I...'

Bandits were walking among the rocky wastelands. The battered old leader was frowning. Meng Shi was combing the border part of the Fire Avalanche.
'Most likely, she decided to escape to the Mushroom Forest, or to the Tomb of Souls. There is also an option that this dog decided to try his luck and go deep into the Fiery Avalanche.
No matter. I have to find at least a small print of it. Hmm?'
The white Pearl vibrated in the old man's ear.
"Noseless, what do you want? Don't tell me that ..."
"The Noseless one is dead." a cute voice grinned.
Meng Shi opened his mouth slightly, feeling suffocated.
"You... how? I've killed youβ¦"
"Oh, yes! I joined you to tell you about your... or rather, about our dear, unique beauty Lee."
Meng Shi's hands began to shake.
The soldiers nearby were shocked.
"What's the matter with you, sir?" The Blackening Brothers were worried, having received no answer after.
Shea covered his face with his hands.
"Aborash! I'll find you! Do you hear?!! You will ask me... you will ask... " Meng Shi's gaze dimmed, the elder fell to his knees and sobbed softly.
"Hmm? Are my leaky ears not delirious? Ha-ha-ha! Is the callous aborash Shi really crying?! That's hilarious!"
"Noseless ... Lee ... Donaluβ¦"
"Wow, I feel such a surge of strength from your tears! Wah! It's like I'm thirty years younger! Ha-ha-ha! Finally, my life, full of agony, madness and debts, began to play with colors!"
"I failed⦠I'm shimare..."
"Ser! What happened?!" The brothers and the rest of the bandits were fussing around.
'Noseless? Lee? Donalu?' The blackening Nu looked at his brother. The blackening brothers looked at each other, seeing the answer in each other's eyes.
"Ser Meng is in a disgusting state: we have to do something!" The brothers activated the smoke screen.
"Ser, ser, are you all right?"
"Shi, are you crying?"
A noseless young man and an elderly lady stood in front of Meng Shi.
Sparks flew from the elder.
"How dare you, Keons?"
The brothers trembled slightly, but remained in their former forms. Shi grabbed Nu by the throat.
The 'Noseless' in Nu's hands writhed and choked, an attack of nausea came over the elder. Nu fell to the ground and gasped for air.
"Are you okay?" 'Lee' checked whether he had hurt his throat.
"And what were you just ... just trying to achieve, you brainless Keons?" Meng Shi sat down on a rock.
The old man looked at the elderly but still beautiful "Li" and at the first assistant of the 'Noseless'.
Meng Shi sighed:
"I'm sorry... Lee, I wasn't as strong as you saw me. In fact..."
'Lee' approached the elder and smiled:
"Life is full of obstacles, like a mountain growing tall when trying to climb it. We are human beings, even the Ascended Natons are mortal, what can we say about us."
"But, I lost everything: our son, my friend and you, Lee. Now I'm talking to a ghost, an imitation..."
'Lee' took Shi's hand, looking with watery tired eyes:
"If you're saying I'm an imitation, then I am. Turn on the pae and scan me, you will find out whether it is fake or not.
However, think about how memories can be forged, how do we know if that evening among the corpses was real.
You and I, almost dead, are the only survivors. I was very scared then, I thought I would fall into an eternal void. But you protected me β your treasure."
The old man listened, not daring to breathe.
"If you ask, I will become a ghost and leave your heart. But if, on the contrary, you want to see me as a wife, Lee. I will become her! I will talk like her, have habits like her."
"Tsu... no, Lee. I lost our child and you. Even if it's not my fault β I'll still think about it and never forget it. I was too reckless, irresponsible and angry.
The sin of the past has found us and now life is over."
The noseless one came up and bowed:
"Yes, I am dead. But so what! The real me is no longer there? I will do my best to make the way easier for you! I don't have a tenth of a Noseless mind in me β but I'm ready to give you my life, sir!
"We are alive and dead!" the reincarnated brothers expressed Kela's determination. "We are ready to forget past lives in order to accommodate splitted souls!"
