Merciless Baptism

I swear to god! I'm going to kill every last one of these bastards!

Snapping my head to the hordes of hungry bastards on my heel, gripping various types of weapons, flashes of causality flickered through my eyes as I pivoted off my feet. Landing on a lone branch in this massive forest. I ran. 

There wasn't much I could do. And it's not like I didn't have choices. I could burn this entire forest down. I'm sure Lily has some options. And I still have all those pills and herbs I stole. I could poison every last one of these bastards. 

"Iza? Why'd you stop?" Lily softly asked.

"Would papa run?" I asked softly. Watching as dozens of armed soldiers mounted lions, tigers, and various beasts roared in my direction. 

Would Papa run?

"Ves… you there?" I whispered.
