Look out for your people. That’s the tenet with which you were raised and to this day live by.
“Sorry.” You give a silent prayer to those three unknown huntsmen never-to-be so that they may find peace.
First, you need to snap Coco out of her shock. Every second is crucial, no time for half-measures.
<span class="mu-s">SLAP</span>. You give her one hard dose of reality in her left cheek, making her drop her sunglasses. “We need to move. NOW!”
Coco’s face remains in the position you left her in. “So… so fast… how do we-”
“I have a plan. Hold onto me and don’t let go. Not for any reason, okay?” Coco nods and wraps her arms beneath yours like you are a lifesaver. And you are in a way.
Your fascination with gravity Dust, among many things, was inherited from Maria. One of the moves she taught you was to charge your staff’s crystals and throw it, then charge your scarf. Both would attract each other, allowing you to soar as long as you had Aura and Dust.
Sadly, the only Dust you have available to throw are the six bullets in Burden’s chamber, plus the extra 24 in your pouch. The small amount of Dust will make this a small fly, but it’ll have to do.
<span class="mu-i">Not even 6 hours and I already lost Yaya’s gift. It would be so much easier if Promised Return were he-</span>
Your lamenting gets interrupted by a foreign object flying and landing perfectly in your right hand. Promised Return made honor to its name.
Without skipping a beat. “New plan. Coco, I want you to throw this as far and as fast as you can.”
“Why-”
You don’t hear what she said, as another clear as day vision assaults your brain. The Komodo Grimm catches up with the bubble and-
“JUST DO IT!”
Coco heeds your urgency and grabs Promised Return. She takes a running start and heaves the staff like her life depends on it. Like earlier, it flies fast and warps space around it.
[Plati Suga has died!]
You urge her to grab a hold of you like last time and wait for the staff to slow down.
[Oros First has died!]
You wrap your arm on one of the ends of your scarf and wait for the staff to slow down.
[Ze Tella has died!]
You wait for the staff to slow down.
<span class="mu-s">[Sharpened Instincts]</span>: You can hear something fast approaching.
“NOW!”
You charge your scarf and launch off at the speed of sound.
Flying isn’t something one can get used to easily, Coco didn’t and would have fallen off were you not prepared to use your free arm to hold her by the waist.
Your other arm is covered in the scarf, extended forward being rapidly attracted to Promised Return.
You meet halfway, about three hundred meters away from the scene of tragedy - farther than you’ve ever flown before. It lands in your hand and you both fall down in the sand.
But you are not out of the woods yet. If you want to survive, you must avoid the Komodo at all cost, that means calming yourself and Coco down-
Your pondering gets interrupted by loud moaning coming from nearby to your left.
