"Ahh, haa..." Laughed Couma-ret tiredly. "Twas a good night," He thanked and waved good-bye to his party goers. "Sleep well for a brisk Mourning!" And then gently shut the door.
"Minya-toryasshe must be sleeping, I best be quiet."
Couma-ret steadily climbed the stairs, each step with as little noise as possible. Eventually he reached and the next he saw was this:
The bleeding bodies of Letertan and Minya lay near each other. Expression of anguish and blood laid upon their faces. Letertan was stabbed directly in the stomach. Minya had a bad bruise that cut through her fragile skin on the right side. Yellow and brown substances were also spreading (this was recent) into puddles, staining the carpeting.
It was a gruesome sight and Couma-ret just stood there. His own expression starting as blank and shocked for a moment, then cracked in gasps, and completely broke in-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
He came over to his beloved Toryasshe.
"MINYAAAAAAGHHAAHHHHH." He begged screaming for her to wake. But she did not at all. Couma-ret reached for her life pulse, gasping in the process.
Bump... bump... bump...
SHE IS STILL ALIVE! "But she won't live long! SOMEBODY HEEEEELLLP!"
No response, either verbal and physical.
"WARGH! I CAN'T HELP HER ALONE. SOMEONE PLEEEASSSEEE COOOOOAAAAMME!
Couma-ret looked down again. The puddle around Minya had grown. Quickly but still steadily, Couma-ret wrapped a part of his robes around his Toryasshe's wound tightly. Then decided this, he'll go off outside to find help. It was a huge risk, but was necessary.
As he fled, Couma-ret saw Letertan's injured body.
He too is injured. Both injured. WHY? An accident. Did Minya... Did THEY...
"NOOOOOOO!"

Gawims and Toyus mingled happily together in the soldier grounds. Cheering, playing large-scale games of catch. Telling funny stories in funny expressions.
Amidst all the joy here, Detertran and Myaostha were sleeping in Myaostha's home. Even with the loud noise not too far, the two friends slumbered peacefully next to each other. The sounds that reassuranced that their unity was completely true.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLP!"
A heavily distressed, depressed cry of assistance jolted Detertran and Myaostha. The tone wasn't in any joking manner.
Myaostha was the first leap from his home, and Detertran was not far behind. Immediately, they saw every visible person, equally worried as them, turned forward. Couma-ret ran down the opposite direction, still frantic."
Ooooooooh OOOOOOHHHHH MY-MYAOSTHAAAAA!!" He wailed and stumbled into his arms. "Y-Y-YOOUUUURRRR MOTHEEERRRRR."
"What happened to my mother!?" Shouted Myaostha, becoming alarmed. Nearby people expressed the same at higher decrees.
"Shhhheeeeee... dyyyyiiiiiing..."
Myaostha grew one of his most shocked faces in his life. "AHH! NAAA! WHERE IS SHE?"
IN... IN HER PALACE...." Whelped Couma-ret.
They ran, the crying two, the worried many, toward the palace. Couma-ret looked to Detertran. Detertran... oh no...
———
"Yeeeee-yeeee ha ha ha!" Screamed Tubugia happily.
"Oh come on, come on!" Shouted Udftyn, half-annoyed and playful. He reached for the entree. But missed, and again, and again.
