Kayetta growled and tugged Finn closer to her despite his weight. "Tch. Fine, we'll give up on Handsome. But remember that we will have our revenge, Autumn."

    Autumn smiled and simply replied, "Okay."

    Kayetta brought Finn out of the cave and ran over to Shiriki who was in front of Zephania. From the look of Shiriki's eyes, something seemed to have shocked him. Curious, she walked over and gasped in horror. Oliver was decapitated and dead.

    "Brother Oliver!" Kayetta cried as she cried on Oliver's decapitated head.

    "So will you leave us in peace?" Zephania asked.

    "I suppose I will. Since you eliminated Oliver and eliminated Finn, it's enough." Shiriki replied.

    "B-brother Shiriki! What about Brother Oliver?" Kayetta asked.

    Shiriki asked, "What about Oliver?"

    "Leave his corpse. He's of no use anymore." Shiriki replied.

    Kayetta's bright golden eyes widened at his words. Looking down, Oliver looked rather peaceful, but in pain. Letting the tears flow out, she let out a howl of despair and hugged her dead little brother's head.

    Blaise watched Kayetta with remorse of her dead, decapitated little brother. He felt horrible and guilty of his death. Approaching Kayetta, he hesitantly brushed her soft fur.

    "I'm... sorry..." Blaise said.

    Kayetta looked at Blaise and didn't seem to refuse his touch. Despite what had just happened earlier, she seemed vulnerable.

    A few minutes had passed and Kayetta had gotten over Oliver's death. Standing up on her four legs, she softly bit Oliver's ear to bring Oliver's decapitated body with her in memory.

    "I deeply apologize for attacking you, Handsome. What's your name?" Kayetta asked.

    Blaise smiled and replied, "Blaise Hayes."

    Kayetta smiled back and said, "I shall remember your name, Blaise."

    "Let's go, Kayetta," Shiriki said.

    "Yes, Brother Shiriki," Kayetta replied.

    Kayetta looked at Blaise once more and said, "Until we meet again, Blaise."

    Blaise nodded and replied, "Yeah. Bye-bye."

    Kayetta nodded and left with Shiriki. Blaise frowned as he was unable to remove the event that had previously happened. Zephania noticed and decided to leave Blaise alone for a while.

    Autumn slithered to Zephania and noticed Oliver's decapitated body.

    "Are we feasssting on that little dog?" Autumn asked.

    "Indeed we are. Since the food out of this place isn't that edible." Zephania replied.

    "What do we do now?" Autumn asked.

    "We'll leave tomorrow and cook this little coyote in the meantime. Afterward, we'll feast on it and I'll... have a small talk with Blaise." Zephania replied.

    Autumn nodded quietly and looked at Blaise. Blaise looked kind of broken after what had just happened.

    Shiriki carried Finn as Kayetta carried Oliver's decapitated head.
