Everyone was just staring into the fire.
No one left a trace of touching their own food.
They stared at the fiery tongue of the fire the warms their body during the coldest nights of the desert.
They stilled in silence.
They mourned for the two souls who tried to fight the war.
Someone sat beside Dog.
"Can you pass the food?" Cat said
Panda noticed.
"Wait a minute...CAT?! YOU'RE ALIVE?!"
Parrot and Snow snapped out.
"Hey, hey! Why? What happened? Of course I'm alive." Cat was clueless.
"Wait, you don't know what happened to you?"
"I dunno. I remember falling asleep in a cave, and the next thing is I'm sleeping beside Puff. Puff slept early tonight, huh?"
Everyone suddenly looked depressed.
"Guys? Why so sad?"
"He's...not sleeping."
"Not sleeping? Of course he is. He's breathing."
Dog stood up to check.
"Look, this what happened. You got out of the cave, and you single-handedly killed the two monsters. You looked like possessed by something. Then your body froze and became solid ice that didn't melt." Panda explained fast
"Uhh...cool story bro. But what about Puff? How did he "die"?"
"Puff got very ill. When we returned here carrying your cold corpse--" Parrot got cut out
"Ba Dum Tss" Snow inserted
"As I was saying, we returned here and Dog said that he's dead. We did a pulse check and there were no signs of life at all."
Dog returned looking excited
"HE IS ALIVE!"
"No way!" Parrot said with a grin in her face.
"I didn't dare to wake him up. He needs his rest."
"So...uhh...you gonna eat that?" Cat pointed to Dog's plate.
"I'll get you a new plate instead."
A while ago
Hello Cat.
Puff? You're here too? Where are we?
We're dead.
Huh? What do you mean?
Hold my hand.
They teleported beside their bodies.
That's us.
Yeah.
Why am I frozen solid?
The curse of the bow.
What curse?
The power of the bow was to reveal your hatred on me deep inside in your heart. That poisoned me as well as you. You didn't complete the test, but you can still complete it now.
I'm sorry.
For what?
This. I killed both of us.
