LANCE

Heavy footsteps are close behind me. It's not Alpha Beast. Or I could be wrong and it really is him. Stripping Seven's appearance aside and taking Fire hogs form. It's getting dangerously closer.

These guys have cannons. I have nothing. Magnus is sprawled on my back. He's still breathing. But his weight is getting heavy. The air he exhale is shallow. And his heartbeat is weak.

If blessing is actually back, I need to find Seven. She's the only one who can cure him. At the end of the forest. Two figures are standing. I thought they're standing side by side. Waiting for me. I assume its Sam and Seven.

But the taller one blow a punch on the smaller one's jaw. I almost wince. What's weird is I didn't hear the impact. As I got nearer, I could see the form of their silhouette.

The taller one, who's supposed to be a foot higher than the shorty, is now so small he looks like a grade schooler.
