The bones were pulverized, and the Undead Riftwalker was defeated, but I was left with a sour taste in my mouth. The cost to do this was significant but not permanent, so I had to look at the positives of things.
I didn't know Tallia any better than she knew me, other than that feeling of knowing we were connected. There was also the intense feeling of love that I felt for her, but I knew that would be one-sided now.
Tallia transformed back into her human form in my arms and looked up at me.
"You can put me down now. I have legs just like you, but that was interesting and unexpected," Tallia said, and I nodded.
"Yeah, I didn't really think that you were going to turn into a gun either!" I laughed as I looked around the blasted landscape.
"No, that was normal compared to me kissing you. That is not something that I would do," Tallia said, pressing her fingers to her lips.
"Want to try again?" I asked, hopefully.
