‘If it’s cfc5e55140 a human….’adf6cdcc5c2246f0

Maybe it’s f2af1f9da0 because when 689b810b94 people make aa4140b6a0 mistakes, they eef58f3576 look for ac8f0d5135 adults. Thinking he resembled c60449a0ee the sea witch, d789355d73 Ravid, with a dae442fd5c tear-streaked face, instinctively 0288281313 ran toward the e1049b8c1c large building where 7eed95c370 humans lived.e6c613eb52450e00

How many b698f69801 seconds had bfa73be4d5 passed as 14673bdc46 he rolled d32883c3b6 down hills, 1f9a5cb377 unable to b2b5a8b462 stop, running 4c2e6aa0fe frantically? Ravid suddenly realized something 092cf5fa2e important and halted.66e7e5c0b38c99fe

Thanks to stopping, he 7be3edeb1a narrowly avoided a sword 6c64638736 that aimed to pierce bb486e346a his head. With a swish, 3f4ef9f6e3 the sword grazed b3c31a17a1 where Ravid’s head 43f4117762 had been.ce72ed6d015dae13

One of 0c25cd217b Ravid’s horns 41064baa88 was half 4a167cdb72 cut, and c9e5b77da4 his face c31a28f329 twisted in 7a1b5331f3 pain as acf3f99aa2 his magic 6e2abe3722 drained away. But there was no 433a8ad276 time to feel how c6b7e1df74 much the small horn dfec93114b was injured. Something close b6fd63c92e behind him c30c69473b made a 0ee23f94eb bizarre sound. Creak, creak.

Now, he couldn’t change 49072b72dd his path. Ravid, who 76e0aea7e4 had just 73e983f10e thought he d73eafb771 shouldn’t go f3e7a92c43 towards Clara, 5b3a314f78 forgot everything 1e9ff68a61 in the 49cdf538e2 face of 6754dd93dc fear and da57a67857 ran again.7d95e6c1c828d0bf

Then, a 832b062a2f massive magical 0483789c8e mass that 39cf29cf5a had been 9843fe2563 chasing him 6c5ea8989b hit his 2cba3cc412 leg directly. Ravid fell to 821416d471 the ground.6440a17c3e0175bf

As soon as b11c57dd46 he fell, like 86b3f183a0 a deer hit cbdd025b04 by a carriage, 8716dee65b he got up 6919b16891 again and ran 6d2dbe1479 astonishingly fast, not f08f1821a1 feeling the pain. But after just five 347d5b36af steps, he realized his 1e2df3a80c ankle was cleanly broken, 880f081cbd as it silently twisted e43a2d26b6 and a heavy pain 5ad0ae2b81 swept over him.e293104bc00a3e30

Fallen, Ravid 44df1f3d0a tried to 3198cbec41 do something, a44522288b crawling into e90ffd2124 a mud 76c972fddc puddle with f1192e5ab0 a dark 359fbfdb58 complexion. The mud 5e5189ff55 covered his 1c2e8855e3 black, moonlit-shining 3ad8989abe scales, turning a04c2d8d89 them murky. The feeling of d35ab34d28 something cold and ec6f2bcad8 dirty entering his ea8eca3217 wound was so 639d4f07ae akin to dying ceade7d856 that he almost 2a3166b0d4 screamed.

As soon as 464f8b9a75 he hid his 1dd230069f body, he saw 438699f4b8 the creature walking f77c0faa6d with a plodding d76336f961 gait. A bipedal ca3bd89922 golem made de647de772 of crystal. He watched it with 9921368dee terrified eyes.31d411a146736f78
