- Laith Taher 287
Both the Small One and Milton cut off parts of their
clothes and wrapped them around their wounds inflicted by
Jarvis during the fight.
A while later, Hammond and his companions
started digging, and then Hammond buried his brother’s
body.
Then Hammond said angrily, “I must kill that slut.”
Milton was ashamed of himself, regretful, and
angry because the result of his plans was killing Jarvis, who
was innocent.
The Small One, on the other hand, achieved what he
wanted as he retaliated from Jarvis and played a key role in
killing him. He felt no remorse or anger at all but was
rather happier than ever although Jarvis had refrained from
killing him despite the fact that he could have easily done
so.
The leader stood up and walked to raging Genos
trying to calm it down and take it with him, but it resisted
and kept raising its forearms with tears falling down its
face.
Then Milton said, “Leave it here. No one but Jarvis
can ride this horse.”
Hammond left it.
The sun had already set when they finished burying
Jarvis. They headed toward their homeland.
When it was night, Milton said, “Let’s have some
sleep.”
