"Master."
The several young wolves came out of the forest after the night fell, and Uranus was waiting for them at the entrance.
"Anything?" Uranus asked.
"So what now?" Kitty sighed at the circle of the tree, "We cannot beat it, and we cannot survive it. Speaking of--"Kitty realized she forgot to ask how he could take the pain on her behalf without her knowing, but Erebus cut her off before she could get to the bottom of that question:"I think it would be easier this time." Erebus said, "The rose blos
"You cannot make it."A low, ghoulish voice rose and woke Erebus."Who are you?" Erebus asked, but he couldn't see anyone, feel anyone, or even...himself!
"So you came for a myth." Erebus mocked him."Of course not! We DID our research!" Lancelot protested, upset that Erebus wasn't shocked by his "ultimate power" stunt: "We knew that for the power of the tree of life, you need to make sacrifice.""Power of the tree of life?"
"Wait, what?!" Erebus was genuinely shocked, "Then why are you even here?!"They broke the curse?! No, they didn't. They died. They found a way to broke the curse, but they couldn't execute it!At last, there was hope!
"How could I get out of here?" Erebus suddenly rose his head and asked Lancelot."What?" Lancelot answered in confusion, "Well, like I said, I don't know --""I meant this spirit world." Erebus waved his hand, "How do I get back to my body and keep on going?"
"What are you doing!" Kitty nearly burst into tears as Erebus said those sentence as if giving his will, "Tell me that when we get out of here!"Erebus ignored her outburst: "The brush, it was your mom's creation. I thought you should know. The secret of this forest, is that you get rewarded by the tree of life if you could get out of here alive. And she came, your mom came here, and took away a leaf of the tree to make that paint brush, but she didn't technically break the curse-- It's a long story."
"I think so." Kitty nodded, "The clearer the rules are, the simpler to solve the maze, but they have to be known. So the hints are always nebulous.""I see. It really doesn't say too much." Erebus made a face."Yes, but we know a lot more now." Kitty laughed at his expression, "The flower of life is apparently the rose, and it lives in death, because -
"What's wrong?" Kitty noticed immediately, and had a bad feeling before he answered."Hmmm..." Erebus hesitated."What?" Kitty asked, sweating hard. She didn't really have a lot of strength, though Erebus forced her to have some of his blood once in a while, she was trying her best to not to, so it was getting harder and harder for her to go on.
