Chapter 21: Spirit wolf
..........
Mina is dead.
You watch her dead before your eyes.
It didn't take long for Ryujin to finish her and explode her body into pits, blood showers the woods with red and your face.
You scream in agony, bumping your head into the ground and mourned your friend.
"Go back... Go back... Return me back... Return... Return..." You cry softly under your breath, unable to lift your head any longer.
You can't return.
There is no Game Over.
What could be possibly wrong?!
"RETURN ME BACK!!" You beg whoever can help you, knowing it's still meaningless to go rage.
"Hey you," Ryujin crouches next to you and her voice creeps into your ears, causing you to jump in fear.
"Your dear friend?" There is a pang of kindness in her voice you don't trust.
With your forehead touch the ground, trying to take a deep breath and remain calm.
"A very... important friend of mine..." You cry.
"I see, we're friends too," Ryujin devilishly smiles.
You ball your fists, not wanting to accept fate. "I'll make you pay... when I go back... I'll make you regret this..!!" You swore.
"Hahahaha," Ryujin laughs hysterically and grabs your hair up. "Why don't you look at her darling? She's right over there,"
"I don't want to look... I don't want to look... I don't want to look... I don't want to look..."
Repeating the same words over and over again in horror, your eyes are about to erupt. You certainly don't wish to see Mina's blood, and everything. Your body shivers, completely chilled way down your bones.
"Oooohhhhh... grrrrr...."
Your heart had stopped palpitating when you sensed another danger, Ryujin moves her head to the cave with a devilish smile and she drags you to the ground.
"The Spirit wolf's coming. Come here, beast,"
ーBring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back... Bring me back...
You are not going back. No matter how much you prayed.
"Why am I not returned...?! Please don't tell me I can't go back anymore?!" You cry and fists the ground frustratingly.
The wolf howls, echoing an elegant, beautiful voice through the woods.
With your panic state, you keep your head low and shiver from the bark-howl. Suddenly, the area begins to be freezing, causing you to tremble further while Ryujin wasn't fazed.
"Spirit wolf, you're so... pretty!" Ryujin laughs, inhaling the cold air that entered the utter atmosphere, spreading her arms out.
You wonder what's inside her head as you're finally moving up, only to see the Spirit wolf's angry eyes flared through the dark cave.
