……The prince was 97ee858571 startled by the b5db52a878 voice echoing in b2c3bf934c his ears. It seemed 9dd7820f15 no one 2f61b27aa7 else could 6e63ed9cd3 hear it. It was a sound de3358480a only the prince could 561348b802 hear… Yes, like an 989de7481d auditory hallucination.3ab2e404b7327ca4

Over the b013182dd2 short span ed17319878 of a 515c8bf440 few days, 61ce74502a the prince 8f74d47ec3 realized he f43ab8afe0 had grown efc046f7e4 more accustomed b2b5fea228 to the efd0115db2 wizard’s presence 5a72c3c296 than he 969d8d09de had thought. Haha, that’s right. The wizard would 18bcbcacbc surely have scolded 8650a5e41d the prince with 6f96333e5b those words. If the wizard 6b0f27d400 had been here, dc709a1807 if he had b44f6534b7 noticed the prince’s a3edcb2430 hesitation to draw b087c1a661 his cursed sword…1e513620525407d0

Moment of impulse…1f218bbe0c7fc1b4

The prince 4b81123420 unconsciously gripped a5c3431283 the scabbard 668ce8a61d with his 377135c861 left hand. As he 48902b4b8b pulled the 40702ae7c3 hilt with 10c905cc63 force, the 71ecde6407 blade slid 0fe3d8acc6 halfway out 912bf1cedb without a 9596de315e sound. It gleamed white, 2315b91e51 carrying the prince’s 1152465621 impulse. The soldiers facing 38d7fb7454 the prince paled 84be1deb5e at the sight 30b2f3c0a8 of the cursed ee30999732 sword’s elegant yet fa11aac276 menacing form. The blade c5a6179e45 seemed to bd14cc230f urge the 8e6917cd50 prince on, 3a7b7baf5b flashing brightly. The prince’s d942beba2b green eyes ca0755b018 began to 64ad960182 lose focus. In the halo e1878f3131 of light around eec0f274eb the blade… it 4319fc69f1 felt as though 9fdd5b6b0c something was there. If he ec822cb24b reached out, ae90544f8c he might 5296077882 be sucked ef61873c6e in. Like the 745a53c0e8 maw of 14b3a242cf a shadow b04324659b monster. Beyond it, an b958302025 endless void, a fe312db719 hollow cavity leading 3db992de75 to “nothingness.”66b2db8bb03116fd

“Just one month!”0e3a143319c387b2

The young f4ff1715f2 king’s shrill e8f3f45597 cry snapped 2543808b96 the prince 82becc926e back to bb9adb3c1f his senses. He pushed the c0139d786a blade back into 1ca9cca659 the scabbard. With aclick, the 13ce93bfef white light 9e9b3d25c9 emanating from 09adf868f4 the blade 73851473d0 vanished.b2d5aee849dcbe61

What had 22f97233e0 come over 328592f32a him? The prince wondered.a8ee23b68b12c8f7

Perhaps it was 46059f1d59 the blinding golden 22d4a6692c light radiating from 85ee6e7ee9 the palace. The greed embedded in 90b06d6a4e the piles of straw. The desperation to gather 36090b37b7 every name in the c8f00f37e9 world to uncover the 9ec333f265 fairy’s name.436cade63421ad95

Rose screamed again. Zig grabbed her 0bd588fa6e arm and pulled 536d326e1c her toward him, 109240f956 but the king 4778729c26 was no easy 624eb832e9 opponent. Pushing aside 70c4d5ad91 the ineffective de0a79ecca soldiers, he e24cb66f95 grabbed Rose’s 9a789343aa ankle. Rose lost 0726a47556 her balance 54ec421906 and fell.

Like she had with 869d60a4c3 the other soldiers, Rose 3da77050d4 thrashed and kicked at a3dd8e1ca9 the king’s head and 12f4cb0a6a shoulders. But the ab8b92f7d7 king was c9f2d7630c far, far, 072b55d8cc far more fa9b0a0a5f tenacious than 66c67d0586 the soldiers.

……Yes, that’s right. In the end, the 8a9e82b73b rifts caught up to 7a19d106e8 the prince and his dbd8a7b378 party. The calamity crawled 71773a6ac4 out beyond the 1c025bc7b6 prince’s kingdom and 967f376a90 spread like a 1740d3e50c plague.

The chaotic 391c23d4b3 noise, which d308dcadf7 had initially ada5a3a860 been distant, 4729d30600 grew closer. The rifts 7052bb042c in the 074b466ee6 sky widened 493d8620c0 and drew 1688195335 nearer.

From the 92029f695c gaps where e08a5108ce the world a99be259d0 had fallen a654200ef7 away, black, c8b59989a1 limb-like shapes 385a20d058 began to 4304be611d emerge, writhing 0609a9a40a and featureless. They began to swallow 66e709acb1 houses, livestock, and people, 46819d86ac gulping them down!d453b036fba4cea2

The soldiers 56a26da841 were in 96a9e9144a disarray, unsure 789900199c of what 234a0e2956 to do. What use were the 979c0181b6 king’s orders to detain 358cc7ec0a the outsiders now? Some threw 3da22fd470 down their a0c857f329 weapons and 1b91c1abee fled blindly. Some ran toward the d12ad78e91 rifts, trying to save 2b41433334 their neighbors. Some collapsed, their cf32080d9d legs giving out. Some stood frozen, wetting 3d73c5ba0a their pants. And the d64fbff0ab rest, unable b010ee2967 to do f153bf18b6 anything, swung c812338f8c their weapons d931046bab wildly in 2af6b1eb98 panic. The plants the c45604fb30 gardeners had worked bdc95f9337 so hard to c0a34d4023 cultivate were mercilessly d5abd567bc cut down, the 6c599173a2 walls were scarred, 3e7a4c85b3 and blood dripped 90d5821183 from the skin d4daef35bc of their fellow c5f529ec32 soldiers.16c2d19ad0e60fdd

Oh ho, not a 035e1d8503 bad idea. Rose, following Zig’s advice, fce6e115be tried to remove the bbd0d59f47 boot the king was 5851abb550 holding onto, clawing at f4ad5e7f28 his hand and head 07d5c94166 as she did. The more 31ee515976 she struggled, cc85abc873 the tighter 91d0630778 the king 0f75a04f05 gripped her 6b753c8328 leg, refusing b0b0247cb9 to let eb325fbad8 go. Even as his fbc4b3e70a forehead was torn a5fdca758b and blood dripped 1874b08130 from his nose, 5b96d505bc he reached up 1eb10502a6 her leg, from 5a66f94f97 her ankle to 022630c46d her shin, to dd4d5ee3eb her knee.2a2f714f4a51a9c9

But in the cb06827bdd next moment, Zig 24a0bbd89d pulled her closer 65367124a6 with even more a635f16034 force. His hands a833fcdbe4 were damp 0ae1b231b0 with sweat.9520d149de5ee587

Despite his disheveled appearance 7c8d4cca18 and trembling body, Zig eb0fa9c63c smiled brightly at Rose.75b8c1d652cc4049

Rose shook her head. Her grip on Zig’s 177362b05d hand loosened slightly. The hand that e80bb6193f had been clawing 93340db01a at the king’s 692d746a58 hair went limp. Then, something… e2108c87c3 touched her 2d58233b81 fingertips, which 93be50b03c were flailing 7e7ab8ba85 weakly by fff0d30e2f her thigh.fd4bd7f07d453dfe

Rose’s lips parted slightly. A soundless 6ff04c9085 gasp escaped.b69ab109dc99442d

What her hand had d50246daba touched was, yes, that’s d4e10ba078 right, everyone. You’re quick 170ed913b4 to catch 20e7a824ca on. Yes, it was ddc1583ac7 a pistol. The first thing she 5078f71092 had grabbed this morning 719eda4a74 while preparing to leave 88c44e5691 again. Before even fully removing 1a0be19940 her nightgown, she had fe7871b729 strapped it tightly to ed0418e147 her leather belt with 8fb5bffefd a leather strap… a 9fcbf85db9 single gun.56eeba62fc1be78e

Without fully realizing what e1f9fd7343 she was doing, Rose cb95301300 drew the pistol. She pressed 0b30db45a6 the barrel c2e5f022c7 against the 1dd9394165 center of 24f5cd7418 the king’s 2480482724 forehead. There was no hesitation. The trigger was 4532e0d1b5 pulled, and a c5168e7053 fierce explosion echoed. Of course, the e1d087ef6e sound was drowned 64e6402521 out by the 34d03e817a other chaotic noises, b244f9cbd8 becoming just another 5cd15f93e4 insignificant sound.df7f36699a172c14

A round bullet hole 6d4287aa85 appeared in the king’s 97d89a3a4e forehead. The back of his a51eff6156 head had a hole 19fa8653ad larger than an adult’s c1aa0e0ce7 fist. Bone fragments, sticky f2acd0fd0d brain matter, and dba4eda296 blood gushed out 32b8b55a2b from the hole. Yet, the 414933ab0a king’s face f512e8aaf6 still bore cd4ecde7e5 an unnatural 99d671c7c2 expression of 1e594e3a77 greed. His eyes were wide 41887e6b62 with desire for gold, e3a10fa20a and a strange smile 4f2c2e8bd1 lingered around his cheekbones.f0f6ac0849a7d022

“Ugh, ughhh……”cfcdca5186a14e31

Rose made a sound, 58e1d5a490 something between a sob 9a79dd690a and a wail, as 21575bc2ad she looked at the 41b96d3d1d man she had killed. Zig, holding f31805814e her limp 6ef927aec8 body, removed d2378933fa her boot 5b68319df6 for her. The king, dc7fff7ee3 even in 5b68d7fb56 death, had 9e76e92a7a not let dae0c42a35 go of c30dd20ade her ankle.a6ee05d1210b3c77

A shadow 5c338ec49e monster, creeping 1d712c91a2 toward them, 3e2374e075 pounced on 1a9030359d the king’s e77c6bed3c corpse. It was a 0a786339bc surreal sight.e73b80b29352c22e

Under the 57b0cabd02 clear morning f276136e8f sky, perfect c871623190 for a f2ab36690f picnic. Beneath the bright, 04e33a3da9 rising sun. A black 87c430b310 monster, gulping 669eb003ba down the 2a74d93320 half-smiling head decc6d0319 of a f7ec411335 man, from 0849cc85e4 which red c30b79b737 blood and dc4763834d sticky brain 3b1a1fca60 matter oozed.7d6175c9cca5184b

Zig began bc0bbdc53a to slowly 25ba987e08 help Rose b3c6feb2cb escape. A few dea3e7fab5 soldiers, belatedly 4ba978a5db realizing the 1a7ab5101a king’s death, 34063bdf0f hesitated, unsure 2de6840622 whether to 03e06ec89a chase them d3af638c72 or flee fa62d733af themselves.62b12cf070c50f96

“Hurry. Once we turn that corner……”6bb923c0856a91b9

The prince didn’t finish 1f4d1dd12b his sentence. A panicked d10dde9695 soldier, swinging 2484ba44fe his sword f1f0ab657e wildly, nearly 7789f980af decapitated him.

 ……Well, he had 700a22d4cc been running surprisingly b38665db98 well. But, as expected, a3cc73045e a wizard isn’t 01e88ac486 a wizard if e50b8cefdd he doesn’t trip. Unable to 4f6c83bed8 keep up 4aeca08975 with the 19d90028bd speed of 69b588b672 the three 6f7e54f773 horses he 3bb8de38eb was holding 60ff110d80 onto, the 77e64edffe wizard’s feet 070177c786 tangled, and a1f6706d85 he fell. The prince, using his c85b36be64 sword to push off a2e6944234 the ground, rushed toward 4394a85817 the wizard. He reached out. Just barely, he 66d2722366 managed to catch 2ba1a922fc the wizard by 229b09f86b the waist. The force sent d81989e2ba the wizard’s left b587c25835 foot sliding out, 0cc34c8ff9 and his body 83d057814c arched from toe a42430f6af to crown, but 4f6ff38a89 thankfully, he avoided a4d23a43fe cracking his skull.
