Глава 7

I think you, are the best, choice.

'...I hereby witness a Sarkaz. Buldrokkas'tee, Wendigo of Kazdel, betrayed neither flesh nor blood, disgraced not his tribe.'

'He leaves his body, with his life, under the light...'

'...And his soul returns to the warm blood of the Wendigos.'

This is a curse.

It is not, to me.

Oh... I feel... I feel... My vision, begins to blur.

Thank you, Dame.

I thought you hated this stuff.

But I, am old.

No...

Where are we?

Ha. So that's how it is. Ha.

Talulah really did betray us.

You think we're just going to stand here and let you kill us?!

You can't fight.

If there's an afterlife, take your revenge there.

We're supposed to give up, just because we know we're going to die?

We're going to be killed for no reason and—

Don't kill them.

Let them go.

Mephisto...?

Devils, I'll give you bodies that know no pain. Let them go.

We're a lot tougher than your herd.

I'll share my life with you. And you'll really fight forever, a tireless fight.

...Fine.

But if we let them go, my people have to watch them. We're not about to disobey Talulah now.

You, crossbowmen. Go.

Mephisto?!

(Why would he save us...? Is this part of Talulah's plot?)

But why come here?

...Because I want to go in there. I want to know what secrets there are. I want to know why Rhodes Island would bring someone out of here.

Because I saw someone coming out of here on the logs.

Mephisto...? Why?

Would you like to hear a song?

But, Captain Faust said... He said...

Yes, yes. I can't sing anymore.

Oh, but I can try.

It ought to be a lullaby, yes? I don't remember who taught it to me... I've forgotten.

It's just, someone in my dreams was humming it.

Go to sleep, go to sleep♪

Hedgehog dolls and little bears...

The Ursus, Infected, where will, they go?

How many stars... does the dark night, hide?

...Captain, Captain!

Final order.

Captain...

Fight on. Live on.

Only you, walk... your own path.

To have a path, you must walk.

I will die. But I do not know, if I should die, now.

What is it, my death, can change?

Maybe you, can tell me, the answer.

Sink into the still dark...

Brothers, sisters, young, and old. Dreams, oh dreams, envelop their bodies...♪

Missy? What are you bawling about...?

I'm not bawling!

Fine, fine. But you're right in front of the door to L.G.D. Headquarters.

Probably don't want other people seeing you cry, huh?

N... Nobody's here anyway!

How about this? I'll sit on the steps in front of you.

I'm big enough. Nobody'll see you cry if I'm in the way.

What are you doing...?

Oh. Well, we screwed up, so we feel lousy, right?

I mean both of us, Missy. We both blew it, didn't we?

What do I care...? I don't care where she went!

Um, right. I know.

Hey, no hitting. You're going to hit me no matter what I say, huh?

Finally...

My... life... can end.

Helen... Grrovae'zeeal... Yelena...

It's you...

I'm finally... going home...

No.

—No.

No.

Hallucination.

How... I, don't need visions, don't need, consolation!

Who...?

Who shows me... hallucinations?!

Oh... How...? How did Mr. Patriot... break free?

Now, I see.

—You. Cautus. It's you.

You, are her... successor.

Theresis, lied. The King... had a... successor.

You are... the Lord of Fiends.

Ah...!

To die, at the hands, of... the King of Sarkaz.

I... how?

In the end, I could not, escape fate.

No. No...

No.

Amiya?! You can't...?!

S-Sorry! B-But Dr. Kal'tsit...

I heard, in the past, Lords of Sarkaz, gave visions of comfort, as favors.

Their champions, could see great walls, or loves long passed—

Countless soldiers, for these visions, fought ceaselessly.

I just, I only... Mr. Patriot, I didn't mean to... I didn't want...

...The end of your life... it shouldn't be so tragic!

I saw it... I saw your two hundred years of life...
