and broke off at impact, it then increased its speed such that Orion
fell on its back and grabbed its fur so as not to fall.
Within a short period of time, Orion's horse came to a stop. He
opened his eyes slowly and found himself alone without his fellows,
he then jumped off the horse and sat down, breathing heavily and
exhausted. After a while, he heard a galloping horse, he lifted his
eyes and saw Atticus riding in front, followed by Hal, Hellion,
Wilden, Caspian, Caelum and other warriors who survived.
Everyone looked tired, a total of 30 warriors were killed in the
desman forest. Caelum located a nearby river were everyone rushed
to drink water and clean up. Night was approaching, they were too
exhausted to continue the journey. So, they picked up firewood and
lit a fire. As they say in a circular way surrounding the fire, one of
the warriors started to mourn for his elder brother.
He died an honorable death. When he saw that the horses had
slowed down greatly due to the force of the arrows, he caught up
with his younger brother, now known as Cosmas. He got his
souvenir and gave it to Cosmas, then he led out a battle cry and
diverted into the forest, he knew about these arrows from his father.
The arrows temporarily stopped coming, then they diverted and
started shooting at him, he hurriedly found a "V" shaped tree and
throw himself on it, the arrows could only stop shooting when every
chunk of meat has touched the ground. Thus, the warriors on the
road kicked their hoses and sprinted so fast to reach the end of the
desman forest, and that's how everyone who was alive survived.
Everyone was silent, the night engulfed them with two faint
moons. The only sound which could be heard was Cosmas's
weeping. Atticus closed his eyes, breathed in deeply and started
singing a song as slow as possible.
"It's been a looong waay, without my friend"
"And I will tell you more about it"
"When I see you again"
"We've come a looong way, from where we began"
