"Elliot! Elliot!" 

Hearing her voice crying out to him, Elliot came back to reality. He looked up to the direction of the voice and there he found Rania falling towards him.

"Rania -" he called back and caught her in an embrace. "What are you doin -"

"Elliot, please don't! Please stop this!" Rania sobbed. She wrapped her arms around his neck and trembled while sobbing. 

Elliot got confused. He seemed to have forgotten what he just did. 

He looked around him and saw the current state of the King of Chaos - with wounds all over his body, ice swords stuck deep in his skin, and blood-tainted clothes. 

"W-what did I - ," he thought to himself. Then he remembered the dead bodies of the villagers again … and Granny Elin's missing presence. His eyes widened.
