The Lake

After Demien had dealt with the monster, they continued on their way. No one said anything the whole way, everyone was busy with his own thoughts.

Today was the first time Evan had encountered the monster in this life, just as it was the first time he had seen how strong Demien was. He didn't even know what surprised him more.

No more monsters appeared. Demien had killed the only intruder.

Demien was pacing the slabs of smoke and taking a puff muttered, "Yeah, bad luck that monster, if it hadn't bumped into me, he would still be alive. It's sad that sometimes luck determines whether you live or die."
