"Remington, what were you thinking?" I yell.
"I'm sorry, I had no intention to kill him, but the bastard deserved a scar, he'll hide under the protection of the World Tree Gaia until the calamity ends," Remington says lowering his shotgun.
"Nevermind that, I'll avenge Minx and Rapido before we leave this place," I say drawing Samishii.
"Do you really think you can defeat us!" Necromus says raising her jousting poles.
Paladius moves to her lowering her arms. He takes a deep breath rubbing her mane.
"Raven, it is done, there is no need for quarrel," Paladius says.
Raven leans into him showing vulnerability. If I strike now I can kill them both. What would that accomplish though? It would just be more blood on my hands. The Calamity will still happen and Alpha will still steal our memories as our lives restart without them. I lean down placing my hand on Rapido's shoulder. He's unresponsive.
I move to Minx and place my hand on her shoulder. She too doesn't respond. My hand gravitates to her collar bone wanting to move lower. Maybe she still has a heartbeat.
"Just a little lower, give them a squeeze," Minx says weakly.
I pull my hands back swiftly. Minx sits up letting out a loud sigh.
"Damn, we fought hard against those assholes, thought I'd get a better reward than light petting," Minx says rubbing her head.
I can see Rapido slightly open one eye to peer over at us. Minx stands quickly seeing him incapacitated on the floor.
"Rapido, you can't leave me now, I've but barely unlocked the pleasures of an ice dragon's tongue," Minx says running to him.
She cradles him in her arms rubbing his ears back gently. Rapido is unable to upkeep his facade and opens his eyes staring at me terrified.
"Oh Rapido, who was there for me to confide in when I lost Samishii but you, let me reward you with more of my passion," Minx says throwing him over her shoulder.
Rapido reaches his tiny paws out to me as Minx carries him off to gods know where.
Paladius turns toward me as Moon joins me.
"Our fight has come to an end before it has begun, I assure you this is not how it will be if you become a threat to the cycle, for now though, enjoy your time with your Moon, Moradobushi," he says steering Raven away.
Moon lowers herself to the ground and stuggles to walk to me. I move toward her, but she raises her hand to stop me. Her bare feet struggle against the ground and she falls against me gripping my side as I embrace her. I look down and she stares up into my eyes.
