DAMNATION!
I HAVE TO GET AWAY!

SHADOW GOD IS ALSO THE GOD OF DEATH.
SO LET ME SEND YOU INTO HIS EMBRACE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY LAST WORDS?

NGH!

!!
GAH!

HOW DID HE GET ME IN THE DARK?

I... I HAVE TO RUN!
THE MORE YOU STRUGGLE, THE MORE IT WILL HURT.

GIVE IT UP.
DAMNIT!

THIS WOUND IN MY SIDE... I CAN'T RUN FAST ENOUGH.
EPISODE 12

STOP!

TURN AROUND.
I CAN'T RUN...
AND I DON'T STAND A CHANCE IN A FIGHT.

DESPITE IT ALL...
I WILL BE TRUE TO MY PROMISE.
I'LL MAKE IT QUICK.

WHAT'S THAT SOUND?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
A BELL?
WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU HIDING THAT THING?

RING-
STOP!

WHAT WAS THAT...?
WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?

ANSWER ME!
TELL ME RIGHT NOW OR I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET IT.

WHY ARE YOU NOT SAYING ANYTHING?

WHAT THE...?

DON'T MAKE A SOUND. IT'S BLIND.

I'M SORRY, HERO.
NNGH!

I KNOW I SAID THAT I WOULD WATCH YOU DIE...
BUT, AS YOU KNOW, I'M A LIAR.

SO GO AND DIE ON YOUR OWN...

NO!

I'M SO COLD... EVERYTHING HURTS.

I JUST WANT TO LIE DOWN AND SLEEP.
BUT IF I CAN JUST REACH THE PEAK OF THE MOUNTAIN...
IT FEELS LIKE THIS NIGHTMARE WILL BE OVER.

FOUND YOU.
SEE THIS, HERO?

I'VE MADE IT. YOU WERE STRONG AND RUTHLESS, AND I WAS WEAK AND TIMID.
YET NOW YOU ARE A CORPSE, AND I AM STILL ALIVE. ISN'T IT FUNNY?
ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT.

WHAT DO ANY OF YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT BEING RUTHLESS? IN THE WORLD WHERE I COME FROM, PEOPLE HAD THOUSANDS OF YEARS TO TURN CRUELTY INTO AN ART.
AND AS SOMEONE ON THE RECEIVING END OF ALL THAT CRUELTY...
DON'T YOU THINK I WOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT BEING VICIOUS THAN YOU EVER COULD?

TRUTH BE TOLD, YOU NEVER STOOD A CHANCE...
WAIT...
...WHAT WAS I JUST THINKING ABOUT?
...I'M SLEEPY.
DON'T FALL FOR IT.

IT'S JUST THE HYPOTHERMIA SETTING IN.
IF I FALL ASLEEP, I'LL DIE.
