----------

"Is she alive?" The man asked Yjum.

Yjum reached around Nerei by crawling. She left herself to the ground. Her legs are completely powerless now. She grabbed her Eftandes's remaining hand tightly. Her tears were dried. Nerei did not die yet, Yjum could hear her tiny breathings. She's alive now but it's clear that it won't keep going much time. They came here for <the purple answer> but they encountered the devil.

The shop which Nerei addressed might be their real answer. But all of them were meaningless now. That shop was out of the barrier. They failed. They were in hell. It might be more painless, getting executed by their own court in their world. That might be painless against this.

The one who did this was asking about her condition now. This definitely should be a joke.

"Fuck off..." Yjum said in a very tiny voice. She feels she doesn't have any power to struggle. That creature is probably trying to toy with them before finishing everything.

"I see. She has a few minutes" He turned his head to Heytu. "Did that thick fog disappeared after you got here?"

Heytu answered reluctantly "No"

"Not good" That Man replied. "Killing all of you is the best option to finish your undesirable visiting to my world but the gate's still active. It means; they definitely will send the reinforcement for you. There'll be no end. How can I stop this? Do you have any advice?"

Heytu did not answer the question.

"You came after them. They came here earlier than you. So they are the only ones who know how to close the way if it's possible. The last question is for you. What'll happen to these two girls if you take them back to your world?"

"Death penalty, I assume"

"Ok." The Man wiped his beard. He came to Yjum and Nerei directly. He bent and picked Nerei up.

"Stop" repeat Yjum with a powerless voice again. She wasn't leaving Nerei's hand. The man touched their hands. He will probably detach Nerei's other hand, Yjum thought. She left Nerei's hand. She wanted to leave her beloved one's last hand on her body within her last moments.

Heytu, Naruj, Taran...They completely lost their hopes. But Jelem didn't...Her eyes rotated. She activated her <MELTING> ability on The Man but it was canceled automatically when she targeted him. What was that? The Man was not even looking at her. Anyway...He was on another level. He might do something to cancel it. Jelem held down her head. Her tears were dropping the ground too.

The Man took Nerei to his lap gently and gets her to the edge of the wall. It is an accessory statue's wall of the place. He put her body to the floor gently again and leaned her back against the wall. She's sitting now completely. But her eyes were closed and her breaths were slowing down. She lost too much blood.

"You're the most important being in here. I know that you can hear me. Do you want to help your friends in your last minutes?"

She did not answer but her eyelids were opened narrowly. A very few pieces of her yellow pupils have been seen.

"I know that it's a yes. You tried to protect them from me at the beginning. Answer me, who opened the gate to my world for you?"

"We..we.. do.. not.. know...It was..there...Th..e. Fog."

"Yes, and?" The Man asked again.

"We..heard a woman..s..voice" she had a cough. Much blood came from her mouth.

"Yes, you noble one. I'm not telling this <noble> tag on your relationships. Your soul, it's very pure. Do it, tell me"

"She..told..go..and find..purple..answer.."

Man's eyes have been calmed. "Ok, this is enough. The last question, you'll find the peace after that."

"No!" Yjum's thin voice.

"Wait for your turn midget" he replied and looked Nerei again. "Tell me. Would you relinquish one year of your life to save the rest of it?"

What kind of conversation was it? All remaining people were trying to understand. Is he a devil likes in the tales who buys the souls? (Same stories were told in their world too) The situation was getting silly.

Nerei did not answer, or couldn't.

"Tell me? Do you want to live? Can you throw away one year for it?"

"Y.."

Nerei's power was completely consumed. But it was enough for him. He caressed her hair. Only <y> was enough for him. He stood up, walked and grabbed her divided arm. He returned to near her.

Black lights have been appeared on both of his hands (one was grabbing divided hand, the other one was on her hairs), on Nerei's body, on Yjum's, Heytu's, Jelem's, Taran's, and Naruj's knee caps.

Yjum's eyelids opened to the maximum size. Color of the lights...They're not black...They're a very dark tone of purple...

All the pain in their legs has been disappeared. They're looking to their legs. They lifted their heads, there's a new scene on them. There was another Nerei standing in there. She was holding the man's hand. Real Nerei is sitting on the other side of man still. Her eyes were closed.

New Nerei opened her eyes. She was looking around wonderingly.

They all stood up. The Man stood up also. Yjum asked this new woman with tears "Ysueri-Efta?"

"I told you a million times" New Nerei smiled. Yjum's tears started to appear again but this was the effect of happiness. "Call me by..." New Nerei's eyes opened in a shocking mood. The strings have appeared on her lips and they tied between them. They've welded also. This's the same with Jolacum's scene. The pain was the same also.

"You...You...What kind of creature are you?..." Yjum was babbling. She thought that the time, salvation has appeared for a moment. She was happy for only one minute. But things have returned to the beginning. This's beyond a nightmare. This's hell. This man's torturing them again and again and again. It may seem that he's torturing their bodies but it wasn't. He's torturing their souls. He killed her beloved one and created a copy of her. He started to torturing her again...There'll be no end.

Others' moods were in a very deep state now too. This torture...This can not be acceptable. Nerei and Yjum might be their enemies now but it can not be acceptable.

The Man continued on to looking real Nerei's body still. They all were on his back.

Yjum unsheathed her Runic Sword. She did not have the chance to take it under her clothes. It has many runic symbols on it. She's looking to the ground.

"It's time to finish this," she says. "I'll cut you pieces to the pieces to the pieces to the pieces...Until there won't be any leftovers...or you kill me"

"Jelem, Taran, Naruj" Heytu shouted. "I know that these scenes are terrible for us. But their's are far more than us. I'm aware of our missions. But this creature never intends on releasing us and he doesn't think to finish this quickly. Eftandes Nerei Ysueri was my commander. She was always a wise leader. They may be criminals now but they don't deserve this. It's clear that we'll all die today. But this thing should not live anymore. Ready for impact!" Heytu said.

None of them were looking New Nerei now. Their eyes were on The Man's figure. The thing is, they do not want to see Nerei's pain anymore. They only want to finish her pain quickly. "Naruj, you're with us, aren't you?" he asked. Naruj approved by his head.

"Sorry, Yjum but if we lose to him again, we'll kill your New Eftandes. We'll save her in this way even we die here." Heytu says.

"Ok Heytu...That's ok." Yjum's crying sobbingly.

They attacked altogether. The last battle has begun.
