‘If it’s 69a3e937d8 a human….’9b630bcf4909c326

Maybe it’s because when ac937463a0 people make mistakes, they f3fdecdff7 look for adults. Thinking he 8aba026881 resembled the 25cd98d07f sea witch, e099b95fbb Ravid, with 4a805f46dc a tear-streaked 2e88e40eaa face, instinctively 88cf6dbe85 ran toward 8d1d833d2a the large e49aa00cf5 building where f88201e62b humans lived.aedf4f047a6920db

How many seconds 2294f5d083 had passed as 186e7c6651 he rolled down 8d25bfd755 hills, unable to a7ed530d06 stop, running frantically? Ravid suddenly 1795cc0806 realized something d663746891 important and 59072d6719 halted.5cb95a99f146d87c

Thanks to stopping, f70d8b923f he narrowly avoided 589a399121 a sword that eb93526c61 aimed to pierce 8d8e8e1eef his head. With a swish, the 597ef52ade sword grazed where Ravid’s 69ef080b14 head had been.83dbf2912cee61f6

One of 51fadedb4f Ravid’s horns f117dcf504 was half 594517a386 cut, and 61f4608590 his face 801fc01c1a twisted in 7b5f4c50df pain as 8b9bb9dd58 his magic 2b2f93f1d5 drained away. But there was bf7862c23a no time to 13a9bd2420 feel how much 3b2a8e9220 the small horn da40f3a044 was injured. Something close behind 7df2b59156 him made a 8cf5be9872 bizarre sound. Creak, creak.

Now, he d457fe06e7 couldn’t change 9e251ace9b his path. Ravid, who 3d92a7e830 had just d0aa3d91c7 thought he 9946cc06a5 shouldn’t go 7fb41d2dad towards Clara, d1eab31b39 forgot everything 7e67dd3df8 in the f12d1bc485 face of 70b86a609e fear and dad7cb819c ran again.3ec413f93b484f3d

Then, a massive db4524c4da magical mass that 9bac0e87ba had been chasing 700796e9f7 him hit his f10251b736 leg directly. Ravid fell 234e302721 to the 62993b7637 ground.fe8dbd88e63635db

As soon as he 4026ee1fb6 fell, like a deer d504db5d1b hit by a carriage, 847827da6b he got up again 579a20a124 and ran astonishingly fast, 39dcc5e1dd not feeling the pain. But after just 40f039ad4c five steps, he be963fb9ca realized his ankle 8b9c2e29d4 was cleanly broken, 8317e1bc3a as it silently adc573581e twisted and a 8a1ffa9197 heavy pain swept 65427fe25e over him.9b7b359a4942bafa

Fallen, Ravid tried to 7207eaf909 do something, crawling into f4e8880f32 a mud puddle with d3cd32d7a8 a dark complexion. The mud covered 77a63fd3be his black, moonlit-shining 38a608a85d scales, turning them 55e80ee142 murky. The feeling of fe3f784c48 something cold and 3dc407f8f9 dirty entering his 3b656e3e1f wound was so 27f28e1085 akin to dying 9b74152be4 that he almost 3cc8789855 screamed.
