"A QUIVERING CHILD IN MY PRESENCE," the voice sounded very unimpressed.

His chest puffed up. “I am a god, you mean person!”

"A QUIVERING CHILD IN MY PRESENCE." the voice repeated. "YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BE ALIVE IF NOT FOR ME. NOW GET OUT OF MY CAVE, PITIFUL WHELP."

Koalemos seemed at loss for a pathetic comeback. “Well, uh… no?”

The cave suddenly shook and the wind sound howled louder. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" the voice was actually low and dangerous sounding.

Koalemos trembled. “No…?” All his bravado seemed gone.

The shadow suddenly disappeared, and the cave went silent.

Koalemos seemed satisfied. “Chased him off, I did,” he said, brushing himself off.

The torch they had suddenly went out, leaving them in completely darkness.

Koalemos screamed. Ducking behind the unconscious Hunter, he held her limp body up as though it was a shield.

In a flash Hunter was out of Koalemos' hands. A new torch was lit, revealing Kye. The torch was stuck to the wall, and Kye held Hunter in his arms. He looked at the god and shook his head. "Absolutely pathetic," he said. "I can't believe you didn't see through that."

“I, uh, am- you should fear me!”

"After watching you trembling in fear over a voice? Keep on dreaming," Kye replied. "I am going to go now. Good-bye."

“No!” In a sudden burst of strength and resolve, Koalemos jumped towards Hunter. “Give her to me! You don’t know what she is! What kind of power she has! It could destroy you!”

Kye stepped back, a light purple barrier surrounded him and Hunter not letting Koalemos through. "I do not know what power she has, no," his voice remained calm. "But I do know that you are not the one to leave her with."

“Why not?” He almost whined.

"Reason one, she is injured and you stood there doing nothing about it. Reason two, you were talking about her being your princess like she was an object. Reason three, you sound like a child that isn't allowed to have a toy, when I told you no," Kye snapped but his voice was still calm. "She is not an object and she's very strong, if you want her, start treating her like she's strong and an actually person."

“But she’s a threat to the world! To all the worlds! I was trying to save everyone.”

Kye looked at him and glared. "My answer stands. No."

Koalemos snarled, But disappeared in a flash if pink light.

Kye pulled back and put out his torch. He moved in the dark with no problem. Hunter was limp in his arms.

Hunter was still and quiet. She didn’t seem to be breathing, and only the slow rise and fall of her chest showed that she was alive.

Not risking the possibility of getting followed, Kye relied on his ability to navigate without light. It was getting colder, he was headed downwards. He pulled Hunter closer to his core, trying to let his warmth flow into her. He could only barely feel her breathing. He came to a stop a ways from where they had been, letting Hunter down and checking her wounds.

After a minute, she stated to breathe, but still slow. Her back was mangled and torn, and still bleeding slightly. She looked almost gray from blood loss.

Kye listened closely for a moment to make sure they were alone, before he lit his torch so he could better see what he was doing. Then he began cleaning and bandaging her back. He'd removed her shirt to do a better job bandaging. Once he was finished he pulled his sweatshirt off and put it on her to keep her warm. It was made of a special material specifically for keeping warm in caves. Then he put out his torch and started moving them again, trying to get as much distance between, whoever that person had been, and them, as he could.
