Jean sighed, placing his head in his hands.
"Should we bury him?"He didn't look up, not knowing how close Martel was to Krakken, he figured, if she had to, he'd let her cry.

Riza suddenly woke up, she opened her eyes, and waited, meanwhile her eyes got used to the light. " Second Lieutenant?" she asked as soon as she started to remember what had happened.

"No" Martel said harshly, not looking at the corpse. She sighed and got to her feet, picking up Gilgamesh from the water. "I'm not looking forward to this" she sighed, shaking her head sadly.

Jean figured out what she might be doing and was gladly distracted from it by Hawkeye's voice.
"Hey your awake."He made his way to her side and helped her sit up "How you feeling?"He asked, eyes shining with concern.

There was a quiet bubbling from the lake's surface. Suddenly, thousands of small creatures that looked like a mixture of fish, hedgehogs, and cats. They crawled onto the surface, huddled around Krakken's body, licking his wrinkled face.
"That's one down. Three to go" Martel said, sounding regretful.

Jean looked back to find a bunch of creatures around the corpse.
No what he'd expected, but disturbing none the less.
"Three to go?Right.."He turned his head back to Hawkeye "Basically we're in another world and her father healed your wounds."He decided to keep the explanation short, details could be told later.

"The kings of the realms. There's four of them; Krakken, some man named Ragnarok, a woman named Aerea, and my father" Martel explained, smiling as the creatures began pulling pieces of skin from Krakken's face.

Jean's head almost snapped as he turned to face her.
"Your old man?! This just keeps getting better and better."He reached for his jacket, now o the floor near Hawkeye, and pulled out his cigarettes.
He'd been rationing them, but now he really needed one.
"Shit.I went swimming with my lighter."He held up his drowned lighter, the water leaked out.
Falling back, cigarette hanging loosely between his lips, he sighed, something h'd been doing a lot lately.
"So?"

She stared at Havoc. "I feel a lot better... thanks... but, were are we? did you find a way out yet?..." Riza sat up with Jean's help and looked around the place. "What's wrong in here Second Lieutenant?" she kept asking Havoc as she saw the scene.
"Oh I see, thanks..." she said to her.

"Yeah, it's like something out of a dramatic novel or something" Martel said, looking up at the sky. "It's getting late. We should probably find somewhere to spend the night."

Jean sat up slowly.
"We basically have to kill off three kings, including her father and we'll have a way outta here."He then jabbed a thumb in the direction of the almost de-skinned carcas "That was one of them."

As the creatures peeled off and ate the last bit of skin, the largest of them stood on his hind legs. He began to howl, a deep, haunting tune. It was a bit like a funeral march, somber and slow.

"So... we have only two left?" she asked Jean a bit concearned, without understanding so much.
"If you defeated him... what the hell is that?"

"Uhm no, we started with four, he kinda died himself."Jean didn't really know how to phrase it in a delicate way.
"And i think that's some sort of funeral."He stood up, the howling sending shivers up his spine.
Holding out a hand for his superior he looked at Martel.
"Which way?"

"This should be a good place. They'll be gaurds" she said, looking at the creatures.
The one that had been howling was now changing shape. It took several minutes, but soon it's deformed body resembled that of a human teenager, with dark hair and eyes. He looked to Jean and Riza. "You're safe with us. Our father trusted you, and so do we" he said, noddingly slightly.

Riza took Jean's hand and stood up. Then saw it, become a teenager. "What the hell... " she said in a low tone of voice.
"Thanks, but..." she decided to say no more. After all, it could only become worst.

Jean's eyebrow went up.
"I'll take your word for it, so far it hasn't been wrong."He looked at the kid for a few seconds before nodding at him.
"Okay, i suppose we might as well trust them ma'am."He tilted his head as he looked at Hawkeye.

"Hey, is the offer still up for me going back with you to your world? Once my dad's dead, I really won't have anywhere else to go" Martel said, lying on the ground.

Jean sat down again too, shrugging to Martel's question.
"I wouldn't mind, i'll even help you settle in somewhere if we get out in one piece."He grinned before two rocks caught his eye.
"And God said, let there be fire."He stretched forward, grabbing the two rocks with a triumphant grin.

The moment the fire was set, one of the creatures spat water on it, putting it out.
"You don't want to do that. Any source of light will attract things ten times worse than anything we've seen so far" Martel warned, beginning to fall asleep.
