Capítulo 268: Crossroads

"What did you say?!" Johan asked.

"There is a way to save his life" Ziltris remarked in a matter-of-factly tone.

"Tell us! What is it?!"

"Don't bark at me boy!" Ziltris' expression was ugly, but quickly reverted to normal. "Bring my body over"

Johan wanted to stand but Theron held him back.

"How do we know to trust you?"

"He'll be dead in a minute-do you have any other option?"

Theron stared, while doubtful, he could only relent.

Johan dragged the headless body over.

"Move it closer to him"

Johan narrowed his gaze. "Why?"

"Just do as I say"

Taking glances, Johan placed the body by Ezra's side.

"Step back" Ziltris said.

"Don't" Theron spoke. "What are you trying to do?"

"Save his life"

"Why would you help us?"

"Oh?" 

The body raised it's right arm, alarming the siblings.

Suddenly, the arm dug into the center of the chest, cutting through flesh with its nails before rising up once more.
