Dying

Aditya and the homunculus children run through the forest. The rain did not stop, and the wind continued to hit their faces. The air was so cold that it made their lips tremble. The children kept running even though they were barefoot.

Even with this condition, they did not complain at all.

Aditya looked back from time to time. In his mind, he hoped his comrades would follow soon. He was sure they could all survive. Even if the monsters they fought were impossible to defeat, at least they were able to save themselves.

Besides, Isaac was with them. After seeing the man make decisions and solve problems during this raid, Aditya thought that the instructor was reliable.

"All of you must survive!"

Now, he focused on evacuating these homunculus children to the camp safely.

However, their journey was certainly not as easy as they expected.

One of the homunculus children slipped. He fell and landed in a puddle. When he got up, his face was covered with mud.
