Only few men had remained. Several had been slain by living skeletons just escaped the doomed world of a casket. Several had cowardly deserted the battleground leaving their fellows for their deared life. Most of the men were injured. Only few were capable of fighting more. But their number couldn't guarantee their success over this war. Which war then? Karlo thought. They were torn between forces they hadn't control of that even without the progressing war outside the wall, in the highlands, they couldn't win alread
"Brave are we who remains fighting. We don't need anyone to sing our bravery over the nation's. Knowing it ourselves that it is true, that we are brave in these times of turmoils, is enough pride for us to wear as crowns over our

"Have you eat something already?" Betty asked. "It's still a long day ahead."I did have," he replied. "A little. The young men ate all of it."That's why they looked so happy," she commented. "It's as if they actually made a joke that so silly."That is right," Rudolf said. "Who are their parents?"I don't know," she answered. She called the thin girl to come over her. "Well, young men these days, what could you possibly expect?"Generous?"Betty laughed at that. So hard and she was almost knocking herself. Rudolf didn't understand much though what's so hilarious with the statement."I am so sorry," she apologized as she wiped the little tears on her eyes. "That was the funniest thing I've heard since the . . . crash. Generous might have been a word when humanity knew how to build houses and created a neighborhood.

It must be a wonderful morning. The breeze felt warm to the skin and great for breathing. It felt more like having a good sunbath on a late afternoon twilight. She opened her eyes and her very own private pool in the secret underground of the Palace satisfied her with the things she would never felt outside.She used to be alone - even before. So, it did not matter to her. She learned that being alone was much better to be with someone who wished no blessings for her. There were too many who wished to be closed with her - to befriend her. However, those whom she learned to give entrance to her personal life were either dead or a villain."This is much better," she said to no one in particular. "If your cage gives you satisfaction, why do you need to get out?"Prisoners in jail are given food, shelter and clothes. They just have to do some chores like what we do in the house as mortals.

Since the two brothers left Betty's Haven, Ray felt an absolute uneasiness. He knew where and when they went. As a Siren, he made himself quite acceptable in the knowledge of keeping track of those who passed the threshold that kept reality from fantasy. Those thresholds discouraged so many travelers and those who aspired because it was a great pit of eternal darkness. But he knew that those who understood the principles of crossing boundaries between the times, that eternal darkness only held eternal mysteries to the unknown. However, the traveler should know what he was doing for that matter or else he would find himself somewhere he did not wish to be. He'd be lost for eternity as well.Ray made peace on waiting them. But as the day grew tenser and the Night Children broiling around, he gave up peace. He's still Betty's little Mark. So, to avoid suspicion which was entirely difficult to avoid, he gave himself a mysterious sickness that the poor young lady kept herself busi
