บท 980: To the Death (1)

"This place isn't holding itself together now that Ritsuka's not here!" Lee Seng looked around. He could still see an opening on top. He rushed over and jumped up as the shadows folded in on themselves. It grasped at Lee Seng's leg as he was three-quarters of the way onto the surface. He pulled his leg, fighting the shadows. The shadows released him, spitting him out with a loud thump. 

A lump in Lee Seng's throat grew. He scrambled onto his knees and looked at the spot where the shadow was. The last minute replayed in his head. He was trying to get Son and then…

"Keng." Lee Seng whispered. He could feel his chest buzzing. "That… that was him, right?" He looked to his right. The entire town was blanketed in darkness. He slowly looked up to the sky. A gold, silver, and blue star was in the sky. The stars looked at him as if the gods of Daros who had backed Lee Seng and his friends were waiting for him to make a move.
