As I regained consciousness, I noticed a pain all over my body and it was hard to move. I shakily opened an eye to see the face of Ren walking forward with his teeth clenched and his eyes glazed over. It seemed like I was being princess carried by him. I tried my best to wiggle out of his embrace before he laid me down.

Thud.

" Young.. Mast..er... You are awake.. Thank.. The heaven...s.." Said Ren weakly before he collapsed.

I quickly shot up ignoring my pain and saw we were on some sort of dirt road. Ki had been slung over the pack animal and a little cat-like creature was in a bag hanging off the animals neck sleeping.

I rushed over to Ren, he was covered in wounds, I spotted a rather nasty gash on his shoulder. He was sweating profusely and had passed out cold.

[ What do I do?!]

I walked over to the pack animal and searched for a bandage. Reaching into my hip holster I grabbed the ointment mother and father had given me. I wrapped his wounds as best as I could and dragged him over to the pack animal.

Using every last bit of strength I had, I pushed him onto it next to Ki.

I was sweaty, covered in my own blood and the blood of Delta, in an unknown place while Ki and Ren were very unwell. I too was covered head to toe in bruises and for some reason, my stomach felt particularly bad.

I had never been this terrified in my life. I felt like I was about to have a panic attack.

[ Did Ren lead us out of the forest himself?! ]

Breathing in and out taking long deep breaths, I calmed myself down. I gripped the lead that was attached to the pack animal and slowly started walking in the direction that Ren had been taking us. To try and keep myself awake I counted each step I took and just focused on the ground ahead of me.

I walked for so long I had lost count on the number of steps I had taken. Losing my stamina rapidly, I called for Kibbles in my mind.

" Meowster you don't look so good," Kibbles said as it appeared next to me walking at my pace. Kibbles them jumped on the pack animal and looked at the cat-like creature who was sleeping.

" Meowster.. I think that creature is about to die" Said kibbles in a melancholic tone.

[ Is there anything I can do? ]

I couldn't even speak at this point due to the exhaustion.

" Hmm I could always take over its body Meowster... but I won't be able to do it to anything else." Kibbles responded.

[ I don't know if it was Ki or Ren, but that creature was important enough to save.. Please do what you can ]

" It will cost all of your Doki Dollars are you sure? You could spend them right now on yourself so you could walk better" Kibbles said as it purred.

[ This bit of pain is nothing. Just save it ]

I don't know if it was guilt from killing someone or the feelings of regret I had but my soul felt numb. I couldn't help but think of how Ki and Ren were injured for my sake.

[This, all of this was my fault.]

I stopped for a moment and started at kibbles. It licked its paw before it rubbed itself behind its ear. Its eyes began to glow red, green and then black. It shot off like a blur before seeming shooting itself inside the sleeping creature.
