  1. He began to slow down, wearying.
  2. He stumbled again, but kept at it. Tayen sat up, dazed and in pain. @Lightweaver2
  3. He took the moment of advantage to lunge for her again, aiming for her throat.
  4. He grunted, and swiped at her again.
  5. He lunged at her with the dagger, swiping at her arm.
  6. He cried out in pain and surprise, and stumbled before turning to her with the dagger.
  7. The man stabbed him in the heart with the dagger.
  8. Trying to muster all of his remaining energy, he pushed through the pain and moved to grab the dead girl's arm.
  9. "Okay." Cedar looked at her warmly. "How do you feel?"
  10. Don't... know.
  11. Tayen did not respond. He stayed still on the slab, staring up at the gray sky. The man began to speak. His voice was muddled to Tayen's ears.
  12. The cloaked man brought him to the second slab. There was a dagger in the grass nearby, and he used it to cut open Tayen's throat. The pain was immediate and blinding.
  13. That seems a bit... disrespectful, I guess. I can only assume they killed her for the same reason they want me dead. She was probably completely innocent.
  14. Eventually, they arrive at a clearing. There were two stone slabs in the center of it. On one of them was laid a dead young woman.
  15. Ah. The man picked Tayen up and began to carry him somewhere. Tayen didn't bother to resist.
  16. Oh. I don't... He paused as his pain surged. I don't know if I'm in a position to do that.
  17. I... I suppose you could.
  18. As Tayen tried to get to his feet, the man hit him with the spade again, leaving him dazed. I don't know what to do about him.
  19. Should I try to get away?
  20. Tayen stumbled away, blinking his eyes open to find himself in the woods. A cloaked man yelled angrily above him, though he couldn't parse the words. Okay, maybe not a rescue.
  21. He was roughly pulled out of the earth. Tayen reached up to clear his eyes, and felt himself get promptly hit in the head by a spade.
  22. Tayen grunted softly at the pain. The thumping continued around them, and he felt some soil get dug away around him, though he still could not see. What should I do?
  23. The sound seemed to grow closer and more intense. Then, something plunged through the earth above and partially into his chest.
  24. As if on cue, there was a thump from above. That... could be a good sign.
  25. I guess we'll see, if I ever get out from underground.
