"It's over, prince!" the knight-commander announced in the channel. "But the mounts are still—"
"Kill them all!" I barked. "Collect all the loot... Thank you."
I suppressed my anger with sheer willpower, leaped off of Gloom, and walked slowly towards the fortress ruins. The dark elves stood frozen along the walls, along the gates. My heart sank as I scanned their faces, until... I found her!
My jaw dropped at what followed. Alyona, standing beside Max, turned into a huge red cat, hurled herself from the wall, and bounded towards me. I struggled to breathe, ripping off my helmet and changing my form. Then, I froze as a thought flashed through my mind. She didn't change her appearance, and neither did Max. But the next moment, my sister was hanging around my neck, weeping.
"Roman! You're... you're... How could you have left me?" Alyona sobbed. "You're alive! I... my darling brother..."
"I..." To be honest, these situations weren't my forte. I was feeling pretty uncomfortable.
What could I say to anyone, man or demon, in a state like this?
Max and some other guy also turned into cats, leaped down from the wall, ran over and stopped a few dozen feet away.
"But it's all right now," I said, nudging Alyona a short distance away and looking intently at her face, so dear to me, then smiling and pressing her to me once again. "Although, I keep thinking of a certain ginger creature who had promised she'd be waiting for me in Ellorian. Remind me who that was?"
"No idea!" Alyona pulled away this time, shaking her head and reaching for a handkerchief to dry her tears. "All I know is that she'd just got married. Or so they say."
"'So they say'?"
"No, I mean, yeah, she got married." She waved the subject away. "Is that your boar? Can I touch him?"
She knew that she didn't have to ask, but she did anyway.
She approached Gloom standing some ten feet behind me, then stuck out her thumb without turning. "By the way, you should meet her husband."
"Why, hello there!" A blond-haired rogue standing next to Max nodded politely. His name was Donut. Ha!
"Hope you're doing well," I nodded back.
Adoration flowed from behind me. "He's soooo cool. I want one!"
A smile crept onto my face. Life is returning to normal. Sort of. I walked toward my best friend.
"Man, you sure took your time!" Max said, shaking his head.
He shook the hand I offered and pulled me in, embracing me.
"How have you been, brother?"
