Tobie fell to the ground. He knows that this blood is not real, it's just an illusion. He knows that he cannot get hurt or die, or as a matter of fact, he doesn't even have blood. But this pain, this is real. It's born out of the illusion of being alive. Out of attachment that he has for himself. And he can feel that pain even without blood or life, as much as strongly, one feels who is alive.

Winston on the other hand was occupied with two hyenas, both of them grabbed him by the hand and planted their teeth inside the skin of his hand. A wave of pain was running through his mind, but it was not the first time he had seen this much pain. Even though his heart was terrified of the pain, his mind was calm and focused. Looking for ways to deal with the situation.

One hyena tried to bite Ranger, but he was too sharp for him to find. He runs through small bushes and teases to trick him into sharp wood, which tears down the stomach of the hyena.

Silvia was playing with two of them with her bow. Trying to keep them away from Madonna, who was standing between Winston and Silvia. Madonna saw Tobie getting beaten badly, she ran towards him. Tobie was on the ground and the hyena was grabbing his neck, which was bleeding like a leaking tap.

Madonna swung in the air, and before the hyena could understand her movements, she scratched his eyes with her nails. He was bleeding like he was crying with tears of blood. He loses his grip on Tobie and starts running here and there. He was in immense pain, with his shivering leg and his eyes blind. He struck a tree and fell to the ground still shivering with pain, his eyes were scratched out like tar from the road, leaving the dead rock behind.

One hyena tries to bite Silvia's leg, but before he could reach her skin she pulls out an arrow and puts it into his eyes. Hyena falls like a flying bird who suddenly gets hit by a bullet. And to another, she picked him between the string and wood of her bow and threw him on a tree, like a small kid through stones in the air. His ribs broke with a strike of a tree plank.

Winston pushed both the hyenas towards the dead one, which he had killed before. And before they could understand what was happening he pushed one of them into the backside of the arrow. Which goes inside through his anal region and comes out through his stomach. He loses his jaw from Winston's hand, there were eight holes on his hand, dropping blood, like a sprinkler throwing water in a farm.

His other hand is still in another hyena's mouth, his teeth have reached to his bones now, he senses the touching of his teeth on his bones, a silent pain runs in mind making him feel like someone has touched his soul with a sharp blade. He screamed and swung his hand in the air along with the hyena and threw it on the ground like a woodcutter striking his axe on wood with all his power with the intent of breaking the wood into two.

Hyena might have forgotten how to breathe after that strike and couldn't even care to move even slightly, some of his teeth broke and were left in Winston's skin.

Everything was silent. A silence, like after a thunderstorm. You are happy that you made it, that you survived, but also sad with all the loss. With all that thunderstorm taken away from you, that you gather with such hard work.

But even though storms take so much from you, they leave something behind. A souvenir from his meeting. The snow on the ground and the freshness in the breath, may not be what you want, but it's something.

Everyone gathered their breath and turned to each to look for the damage. Tobie was the one who seemed most hurt, he was on the ground, he was bleeding like a pig in mud, from everywhere. Silvia ran towards Tobie holding him in her arms. A tear fell from her eyes and fell onto Tobie's face. Everyone gathered around them.

Madonna noticed Winston's wounds.

" This looks very bad, we need to get back to our place", she said with worry and pain in her eyes. Her nails were still red with the blood of a hyena and his skin was stuck into them.

"No, it's fine, I have seen worse", Winston said, removing the broken teeth from his wound which had gone too deep into his skin and touched his bones. He was in immense pain, but only if he acknowledged it. For him, it's just another wound that will be healed with time. As they say, time is the best healer.

" We can get so much nectar from these hyenas, we can't just leave them here", Tobie said with a wailing voice.

"It's not important right now, let's take you home first", Silvia said, wiping her tears which had come down rolling from her eye to her cheek, making her skin feel itchy with that salted wetness.

" he is going to be fine, and you know that", Madonna said, placing her hand over her shoulder. "Let's not get carried away and do what should be done", she continued.

"It's fine, you carry him and we will handle the rest", Winston said looking at Madonna.

Winston found a long tree plank and he tied the legs of hyenas with the ropes. Then he hung five hyenas on that plank, one of them was a leader. Ranger carries Tobie on his back. Silvia and Winston hold the two sides of the plank and start carrying. With every step, they take the hanging hyenas on the plank, move left to right, forward and backwards, striking each other, making a sound like someone walking with heavy steps.

Walking through the moonless night they reached their home. Everyone was tired.

Winston was about to put the plank on his shoulder on the ground in the first room, but Silvia stopped him.

They walked through the hallway at the end of it. It was a wall. Winston was confused about what was happening. Silvia pushed the wall and it opened into the room. A room is full of inventory of items, around twenty bottles of nectar, different types of bows and arrows, swords, and a few bottles of different kinds of toxins.

"Let's put them here", Silvia said, pointing towards the corner of the room, there were a few chains there made of iron shining like a silvered. Both of them put down planks from their shoulders, with all that weight they carried the plank left a mark of its shape on their shoulders.

Silvia chains all the hyenas. They are still unconscious, but they will be conscious at any moment. Silvia took a bottle of orange toxin from the shelf and started walking out of the room, Winston followed her.

Ranger put Tobie into his room and started cleaning his wounds with a piece of cloth. Madonna was helping to clean the wounds. Silvia walks into the, there was a wetness in her eyes. She sat near Tobie and poured a little liquid from the bottle into his mouth.

As liquid walks down from his mouth towards his throat, a sense of relaxation starts to appear on his face. Toxin started his magic and he started to become numb to his pain. He closed his eyes like he had fallen asleep.

Winston was in his room in the gallery. Looking towards the usual things happening on the street.
