And what if she goes completely nuts and stays that forever!

“Who was that, Elcha?” I asked again and gave her a strong shake.

She looked up at me, distracted, her gaze blurred, and smiled absently.

“I mean those two, wearing cloaks, I told you earlier today,” she murmured in a strange and dreamy voice.

“Okay, we got to cross this field right now, as quickly as possible, too visible here,” I said and looked around.

Some growl came from behind, my entire body got tense instantly, and I looked back still keeping Elcha with my one hand and bringing her behind my back.

The two monsters were approaching, both growling and their eyes shooting fire in the dark.

“That’s just perfect!” my sister said giggling again, which made me so mad I wished I had something heavy in my hand to bang her on the head.

Apparently, I was losing my nerve, too. And she seemed to be right, the situation was just perfect – no weapon in my hand and no place to hide, open area around only.

“What the hell do you want, finally?” I shouted, full of despair rather than courage. “Are we going to be so delicious or something? No more wild goats to eat?”

Elcha gave another giggle full of nerve, then raised her hand and let another clot of fire into the creatures. They jumped aside still remembering the previous fight, yet did not intend to leave, just stood at a short distance.

Okay, we’ll get to Elcha’s nervous breakdown later. The major part now is to survive…

“Elcha, listen to me now,” I said, “you beat them with magic whenever I tell you, just don’t waste your power, okay? And we are moving now to the city, fast, just as fast as we can.”

She replied with an estranged nod.

But my plan failed. A few seconds later my sister fainted, so I got her hanging in my arms like a huge sack, completely exhausted. The only part of me still able to move fast was my thoughts rushing around in my head.

I sat on the ground and embraced my sister, my eyes all sore with tears and indignation.

The beasts brightened up and began to approach us feeling much more confident.
