The monsters called Atondês weren't there, because it seemed as though Dominic had given them other tasks for later. He explained all and everything to the animals — murmurs and gossips rang around the area where we gathered, and then the clapping and cheers followed. Dominic had further explained about the situation that had happened to us in the village of talking animals, and merely, not even a second lasted and we considered.

Right at the first crack of dawn the next morning, we started with finding the horses, only to discover that Dominic had kept them all together in a cage — firm and ready. “You’re going to ride the Atondês instead.”We blinked, and waited. But it seemed as though he had no intentions of getting back what he said. “What?”“They shall carry you to the borders. On their backs. It will save you

They continued to run without stopping at all. Even we, who had been sitting on their backs all this time, had grown tired for them. How could they have such limitless stamina?“We’ve been running for some time now. Aren’t they dying?” asked Wayne finally. It seemed like he had completely read my mind there. He did not seem to see me, but I nodded my head.

You mysteriously brought yourself in this country, so you must be the one to suffer. If only you had not come into that drainage hole that night, and did your weirdly fascination abt trains, nothing could have gone wrong at all. You’re stupid. Way more stupid than Houlio Merto.

XCIV: The End
“But there is always something to look back to about endings, whether it is happy or not. And I think one should be able to thank the universe, that even the world gets rough, there still is something to be cherished for a moment in a billion stars. And perhaps, that alone, makes your ending better than the rest that matters.” CHAPTER XCIV: Finale; The Beginning of an End “Ragen Holler…” he spoke slowly, unable to find the correct words to add to that.

But somehow, it was not as painful as it was the first time. I moved my eyes around as all I could see were white. My eyes was still adjusting from the view. And it felt like the more I stared at

I felt my breathing hitch. My heart was beating so fast, hoping the news they brought was not true, at least, was not as true as it was.I looked at Sigmund, only to find him looking down the ground, rather, staring intently at the ground as though figuring out what went wrong. He was not able to recover quickly. He was distorted for a moment. He was not responding. He did not seem to hear his surroundings. I walked to hi

Perhaps, perhaps not, I have thought about it too. But all that was for me to end up with was the word, wealthy.I wanted to be wealthy. I wanted to be rich. I wanted money. I wanted it because it was what the world was made for — well, it seemed like it. But there was this hint of pain in my heart whenever I say that.
