Soon the different groups of survivors of the plague will each run into their own personal horror. A dreadful shocker will soon surprise every survivor of the plague.

Dreadful shockers

 Nico breaks the surface of the water and sees the leader of the guards who had led them up the cliffs, and who he had bumped off the ledge, coming up right in front of him. His back is turned towards him and with enough leeway on the rope which binds their hands, he slips it around the man’s neck and pulls himself out of the water while pushing the man mercilessly underwater. The rope strangles the man underwater while Nico fills his lungs before he goes down feet first and pulls the man deeper down. 


 The rest of the group who jumped from the ledge one by one breaks the water, gasping for air, and search for the others. They realize the leader is gone. The screams and noises of the fighters who have been left behind on the ledge attract their attention. They look up to see how they consider throwing down with their spears. Luckily, they realize it is too far down. They are going to lose their spears and their leader is underwater. They could even hurt him.
