Look how far I have come, soon I will be able to tell them without feeling like I am going to die as well."Putting my hands up as I swing on the chair, I say, "I am amazing."But as I do this I start to fall back and scream, "NO!"Before I hit the floor I am stopped by something, and turning around I see Charles."How are you here?"Pushing my chair back to normal, he says, "I snuck in.""Again!""Yes!"Moving over to him, I say, "I missed you too, but please don't go around doing such dangerous things.

They're going to kill Dónal. I need to do something, but what?I am not strong enough to fight them, and getting closer is dangerous because if they spot me, I am dead. I could wait for Charles, but even if he was moving at top speed, it would be a least thirty minutes up and back to get the omega owl.So that begs the question what should I do?Pausing for a moment, I say, "Should I even do anything?"This whole Dónal debacle will simply make our escape easier, and knowing how prideful those beastkin our, I am sure they will have a big celebration after killing him, which just increases our chances of escape.In all honesty, we know our plan could end with him dying for his blunder of letting us escape anyway, so how is this really any different than that?Unlike Charles, Dónal means nothing to me, so this shouldn't be an issue. Suddenly imagines of my wedding flash into my mind, and from my head, I take the blue flower dowsed in Nero's blood, then say, "Dammit."-Break-Location: A

I guess if I am awake now I should go and check on everyone," I say getting up and walking out of the hut."Wait, there is something I need to tell you!" Charles says to me.No time to stop, I just need to move and do. All other thoughts need to cease because if they don't I won't be able to go on.As I ste

Stuck between the pieces of my teeth. The teeth that she told me made my smile bright.I shake as I think about what I have down, but then on my head, I feel Nero place his hand on me.Staring at him, I see that his expression hasn't changed, and he isn't even looking at me, but still, he is using his hand to comfort me. Even like that he still cares for me.Right now, I need to be strong as well.As we all exit, Bricriu says, "Well this has been quite fun spending time with you guys over the years, but that's over

It isn't nice, is it?"Coughing, as I try to get air, I say, "No.""Then make sure I don't hear it anymore, because every bit of pain I feel, so will you."Jupio starts to cry even louder than before, and due to this, I see the beastki
