Okay, I myself was brought to tears while writing this, so yeh.

The sun sets and eventually it is midnight. Cinder returns, but Stalagmite doesn't.

"Where the fuck have you been?"

Cinder doesn't respond.

"Cinder...What's wrong?" Adder never likes seeing Cinder unhappy.

"I...This war has been going on for quite a while...It saddens me to think that a simple skirmish at the Mountains could result in this incomparable death toll...We should stop now...We will turn ourselves in tomorrow so that there will be no fighting."

"WHAT!? LISTEN, Cinder," Adder is both furious and overcome by grief. "Randall's death hit us hard. But you don't let that drag you down. You don't quit! And if any of you don't like the way I run things around here feel free to kill yourself."

Cinder stares at him with shocked eyes. "You...Adder...You're just like Kragok...You're a mindless fool..." She flies away again.

"NO! CINDER! What have I become...This war...It's consuming me..."

Cinder comes back. "I'm sorry...Cinder...I don't think I'm...good enough to be leader around here..."

Cinder nods, and the two make up. Then she begins yelling again. This time, it's NOT played for laughs.

"I SAW STALAGMITE RUNNING FROM HELL'S HOUSE TO LAKE LAKE! HE'S BEING ATTACKED BY REBELS! WE HAVE TO PROTECT HIM!"

Everyone runs as fast as they can to Lake Lake. Nobody runs in a straight line; Adder and Wraak punch each other in the face multiple times, mistakening each other for Outlaws.

Stalagmite is already at Lake Lake by the time the Rebels arrive. But they're probably too late. Fifty Deltadromeus grab onto various parts of his body and rip him apart. Riding on one of them was Pernicia, but just as the Deltadromeus attacks, she jumps off and runs.

"HEY!"

The Deltadromeus look up and get their asses whooped. The few that don't run away.

They look at Stalagmite. "bring peace...to the world...for me..."

Blood shoots out of his chest and he is still.
