Coward. Coward. Coward.
Coward.
Over and over again,
Coward. Coward. Coward.
The word repeated incessantly.
Coward!
How many times had the word been repeated?
Coward! Coward! Coward!
The white-scaled Monster ran and ran and ran.
Coward! Coward! Coward!
Mark couldn't tell anymore.
Coward! Coward! Coward!
Was the word resonating inside his head? Was he thinking it himself?
Coward! Coward! Coward!
Or was it shouted by the Darkness that relentlessly followed him?
Coward! Coward! Coward!
"SHUT UP! LEAVE ME!"
"COWARD! WHY ARE YOU RUNNING? WHERE ARE YOU RUNNING TO??"
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
"FIGHTING MONSTERS FEARLESSLY! KILLING! DEVOURING! AND NOW YOU'RE RUNNING AWAY? WHEN DID YOU BECOME SUCH A COWARD?!"
The white-scaled Monster clenched its teeth, and continued running.
