"Companion?"
Divine Egg glanced at the Pets that showed worry on their faces but made no move at David Jones's command, as the image of a long-faded old friend grew clearer in the depths of its mind.
"Interesting!"
The Divine Egg didn't speak again, silently watching as the rampaging thunder slowly sliced through David Jones's highly defensive flesh.
Scalding blood with strands of golden light dripped from the sky, slowly falling on the faces of Rainbow and Lolo.
"Eeek!" (Impossible!)
Rainbow let out an angry roar, refusing to believe that David Jones had been defeated by the thunder.
"Chirp?" (How could this happen?)
Lolo stared blankly, using her small hand to wipe the fresh blood off her face onto her fingertips and, in disbelief, stuck out her tongue to taste it.
Then she watched as David Jones's falling blood stirred layer upon layer of fresh ripples in her prepared cup of water, much like it was her own inner world being shaken and gradually becoming restless.
