Chapter 17

CHAPTER 17: Trivial Triumph

For one quick second, Sarah stared in disbelief. By the next, Sarah had passed out.

Some time later, Sarah awoke in a room, accompanied by her friends and family. Oh gosh. So lethargic right now. I bet it was all a dream. Nicolai is okay. Nicolai is okay.

"Oh good, she's awake." A voice around Sarah said, but it was too soft to detect the speaker.

Sarah, having completely awoken from a great deal of lethargy, sits up on the soft bed on which she was lying down upon. "Whoa. What is going on here?"

"We've already taken Galgamath. Half our army is occupying Galgamath to ensure we don't get another attack like the one on Jaem Tu-" says William, before a scared look from Uriah cuts him off.

"Jaem Tuung? You mean that battle was real?!" exclaims Sarah. "Wait, where is Nicolai?"

Everyone remains silent. 

"W-w-w-wait. I-I-I k-killed Nicolai? But h-h-how? I-It w-was a stun sh-shot!"

"You may have not noticed, but Nicolai had an amplifier crystal (used to increase speed/damage of one's weapons) in his hand at that moment. The shot got amplified, and stunned Nicolai permanently, unfortunately." speaks the calm voice of Philinus just as Sarah bursts into tears. No one sees this great capture of Galgamath (haven taken three long years to accomplish due to insufficient power) as any accomplishment. The tragic mood in Jaem Tuung that day is mirrored by what happens in Doom City, where Doom, Rahcaz, and a dozen others are celebrating the death of a great hero.
