By the way, we still have Pernicia's prophecy that we have to decipher. You wouldn't think I'd forget, did you?

---

After a long fight the six Carcharodontosaurus guards are all decimated. Everyone bleeds heavily and hyperventilates, except Vulture, who seems to just get even stronger with every hit he eats.

"Here's one of me favorites." He grabs a Stegosaurus skull full of oil and sets it on fire. The oil is poured down his throat, before he smashes the flaming skull on his head, chuckles, and retreats.

Everyone keeps their guard up, looking for the sadomasochist, to bring him to justice. Then he attacks.

His flaming body leaps from fifty feet up in the air and lands on Wraak, torching him. He runs wildly, setting the world and skies on fire. The situation is desperate, everyone is almost dead.

(Alright, it's time to pull the most gutwrenching thing I've ever had to do in this story. But trust me, it gets worse from here.)

Just before Vulture lands the killing blow on Wraak, a shadow descends and grabs his wrist. The flames disappear. He hisses in fright.

Adder.

"I've never found meaning in this world," he starts. His other hand grabs Vulture's neck, his claws pierce his stomach. "I only stayed alive so I could stay with my friends. But even then I had to surrender to despair and the void. I lost emotion to cope with the pain. And there's nothing left for me her but to become a prisoner.

"And if I become a prisoner, I'll make sure we stay down here FOREVER!"

The flames disappear and are replaced with chilling ice. Ice that sets on fire once more. Spirits and zombies and dragons tango around the scene as Adder pulls Vulture to the ditch. The hellhole.

They begin to fall over the ridge, and Vulture's yelling becomes howling, then screeching, then wordless anguish. They both fall, and if they did not hit the bottom of the ditch they are falling still. Nevertheless it can be safe to assume that they are both dead, whether it be from their wounds, killing each other mid-descent, or simply the world's longest freefall.
