The ground seals up.

Now your only leader Lucious is absent, unable to stop the fighting. Your lancer Adder, his second-in-command, has killed himself in despair. Now who will you put as leader?

Who will you use to fight through the pain now?

Everyone leaves the warzone behind and sleeps. Somehow, they don't feel much sympathy for him. He's a Dilophosaurus, and he got what he deserved.

The same can't be said for Cinder and Wraak, who spend the night wordlessly showing anguish. Eventually they can't take it and fall asleep.

After he wakes up the next morning, Wraak goes out for a walk, only to see Cinder attempting to run away.

"I...I'm sorry, guys...But...I...I can't do this anymore!"

He spends the next few hours consoling her, and eventually they come to a decision. Adder wasn't dead. They knew he wasn't. They just knew. He had to come back. But what would be of him after he left Tartarus? Would he be physically scarred, a quivering, bloody mess? Or would he ne unable to socialize with his former friends?

It was probably better not to think about it.

"Well...Adder's not dead," Cinder starts after a very long silence. "I know he...Stay here, Wraak. I need you guys to get as much reinfrcements as we can. I'll go find food and resources for us all."

He didn't know she actually was planning on running away. She was running away from the pain and suffering of the fighting.

"Well...Um...I...Sigh. Goodbye, my friend. We won't forget you or Adder anytime soon."

She prepares to leave, tears welling up in her eyes. She looks back one more time, smiles, and flies through the air into the forest.

And she's gone.
