Saluting the sea-monster, Glenda decided it was high past time to leave.
There weren't going to be many survivors here.

{Entering} Falling to the ground, Cora coughs as she just lays flat. She couldn't move, not anymore. She just needed a small break, nothing to worry about. Shutting her eyes tightly, she was shaking as she rolls onto her back trying to get air into her lungs. Her whole body was sore, burning, and in pain. This was honestly worse then when she was shot by accident as a teenager.
Slowly sitting up, she glance around to see she was where she was suppose to be. Kraken's Nest is what Les called it. She pulls her knees close to her body to look over the damage from her fall thanks to the snake monster. It was bleeding, but not bad.
Glancing back towards the area in which she came, she chews on her lip as she stands. Her eyes searching the distance as she looks for Tonio and Les. They were both right behind her, they should be coming soon.
Right?
Glancing back, she swallows before she looks back again.
Any minute...

Sadly, it wasn't exactly Tonio and Les that showed up first.
Fluffy had found a good stroke of luck in picking the right path to follow, carrying what remained of Les the entire way. Honestly, one couldn't ask for much more care from the canine. It was like an overgrown pup carrying around an infant by the back of it's jammies. Sadly the sight was likely a bit more morbid. Fluffy was covered in an odd covered blood and scales from the snake, and Les looked less like a giggling child than one would have hoped.
On a normal day, it might have been cute. Now, it was likely one of the more horrific sights that one could run across.
Still, as soon as Fluffy spotted Cora a low whine escaped him as he started over, a bit faster, but still slowly enough so as not to shake his bundle. He may not have been aware of his own strength or size in comparison to humans at times, but when he paid attention he could be good. He just usually got over eager. So as he slowly made his way over, hopefully she didn't scream, didn't run. It was a pointed approach, but there was no sign of aggression in the dog. He truly was here to beg a favor. That she make Les move again, all better... like all the other times.
As she reached a few steps away he slowly set the man's corpse down, whining again loudly, the sound closer to a whimper as if the dog itself was crying as he laid down, looking between the two carefully. She knew what he wanted, it had to be obvious. [Fix him..?]
It was too bad that Fluffy hadn't yet realized... humans didn't get fixed from this kind of thing.

[Entering]
Tavast had hung around the Kraken's nest for awhile, hunting down the humans that had shot him. But they were long gone by now, so he'd taken it upon himself to snap at any humans that had come by.
However, when Cora had shown up, he'd perked up intrgueed. The last time he'd seen that one she'd been with the one that ran.
He liked the one that ran.
Fluffy soon followed, carting what looked like a body.
Oh no...
Tavast sat down and watched the scene play out, not wanting to spook the human girl.
Not when fluffy was dragging the body to her, the body of Les, who Tavast had remembered before.
Cora first thought was to run away, screaming, but honestly where could she go? So instead, she just a small step backward as she watch Fluffy. Her eyes taking in how the cerebus was acting, which made her even more worried.
Wait...what was he carrying....?
She paused only to choke back a scream as her hands instantly went to her mouth as Les's body lay just inches from her.
Oh god, oh god..NO NO NO NO NO
Scrabbling over, she lifts the lifeless body as she shook it a little "Les! NO wake up please!!!" she kept shaking him, tapping his cheek just a little as she felt the tears start to burn the back of her eyes "Please! This isn't funny, no jokes!" she didn't even realize the tears started running down her cheeks until they smacked Les's cheeks "Les please, you can't! We have to find Mel! Everything was suppose to be okay, we were going to get out of here..."
He was gone, and Cora was shaking as she holds the body.
If he was gone....was Tonio gone too?
Looking up at Fluffy, she shakes her head before she really starts to sob. She couldn't do this anymore, she didn't want to do this anymore "I'm sorry Fluffy....I can't....he gone..." she honestly wanted to help, she did.

Fluffy hadn't noticed the dragon's presence. He'd been far to focused on not doing more damage to the already hurt Les. Which was why Cora's reaction alarmed him a bit, causing a larger whine. Why was she shaking him? He was hurt, fix him, shaking was what you did to break necks of prey and such.
Why was she doing that?
He didn't growl and attack, just whimpered at her and reached one paw gingerly forward to try and place on her leg briefly, then let it fall as she was yelling more. Both ears fell flat against his head at the noise. [Stop...] Why was she screaming? When he hurt he just wanted to sleep a bit. Get a bandage. Something. [Stop... that's bad...] But as she slowly sad the last few words the reality apparently started to slip in. Her shaking her head while clinging to Les finally started to hammer home. [He won't wake up..?] No... he'd never wake up.
The large dog visibly flinched at that, slinking back along the ground his tail between his legs as a rather loud whimper escaped him. He hadn't done it, he didn't want it... that one didn't hurt him. He... he was just protecting him and... and no that wasn't right. Another low whimper. [You're wrong.] He didn't want another human who didn't hurt them to die. They weren't all bad. Not all of them... they were more like their parents.
Family than anything.
He was losing his whole family now? If a dog could cry he likely would have, instead there was only a low mournful little howl that escaped him. He didn't know what else to do. He didn't like any of this anymore. It had been fun at first, but now... now everything he liked was going away. It wasn't something he knew how to deal with or comprehend, so all he really could do was sit there and howl up at the sky. As it if could answer his questions. [Why?]
Tavast sighed, shaking his head slowly, his wings fluttered - finally giving himself away, he very slowly walked over to the two, and sat down again, his tail whipping around to corral Fluffy closer to him as he looked down at the dead body of Les.
<Humans... Are weaker than us Fluffy - you know that... They break and they can't be fixed... It's how they are... I think that is why some of them are so mean to us. They are jealous that we don't break like they do.>
A hot snort of air left his nostrils and he leaned down toward Les' body. The polite thing to do would be to eat him. But he refrained, looking over to Cora.
Humans always had a strange hang up about dissipation he'd discovered. Which is why he'd avoided dissipating them when he had been a captive.
Now that he was free it wasn't so much of a onus, he'd already killed two humans, Cora could have been an easy third.
But she'd done him no harm - ever, even now she was more scared than anything, he was getting a contact high just sitting there. With a sigh he snorted again.
<We let this human do what she wants with this one... Then we let her go. She has done us no wrong.>
Cora struggles to get herself under control, her body was numb as she stood slowly. No more, she just didn't want to deal with this anymore. She glance towards the dragon, then back at the cerebus. They could be swift in ending it for her, she knew this. The very thought scared her that she was even thinking like this.
Looking around, she turns her eyes towards some rocks before she looks back down at Les's body. It wouldn't be a proper burial, but it would have to do at the moment. Kneeling back down, she lifts his upper torso as best as she could and slowly drags it towards the rock pile away from the water.
Cause no, whatever was in that water wasn't allowed to have his body.
Pushing the rocks away slowly, she clears the area before she sets up what look like a bed of rocks. It wasn't as flat as she wanted it to be, but it would be enough to kept the body off the ground for the time being. With a good amount of struggle, she lifts the body just enough to lay it on the bed. Her blue eyes staring down at Les's face as the tears threaten to slip over again.
Pushing the hair from his face, she carefully covers his with a mixture of dirt and rocks. It took her a bit, but finally she had the whole body covered. It wasn't what she wanted, but at least Les's body was hidden for the most part.
Standing slowly, she turns and looks to the dragon and cerebus.
She honestly was at a lost now.....

[Entering] Having gotten slowed down by his own injuries, it took the man just a little longer than he would have liked to get to the Kraken's nest. Lungs on fire, eyes watering, and filthy from head to toe he had finally arrived. Doubling over his hands landed on his knees, head hanging low as he caught his breath. With a small fit of coughing, a loud dry coughing, he glanced up from his new position, then just about died.
Cora....and....and....and...THOSE MONSTERS!
If this was any of other situation, he would have given into the escape of fainting from the horrific sight. This was bad, very bad, she was surrounded by that weird dog and dragon combo. It wasn't so much the dog he was worried about, but that dragon had a bad rep all things considered. How to get them away from Cora-
Then it hit him, along with a horrible cold chill and awful pit of the stomach sick feeling, as he further scanned over the scene. There was someone laying on the ground by them. Someone who even from this distance was unmistakable, Les. Antonio hoped to high heaven that the man was simply unconscious by with the way Cora was looking and the fact that there were two monsters around her, the odds of the man simply being so were slim to none.
Then Cora got up, dragged Les with her and started to- to bury him. He was dead, dead. Of course this was bound to happen but at the moment it was so unreal that Tonio had simply frozen in his tracks unable to speak or move as he watched Cora.
He felt ill, so very ill, but pushing it down decided to draw the monsters attention to himself so Cora could run. "HEY! OVER HERE." Or so he thought he would, given he hadn't had a drink in what felt like days, the call was hoarse and not as loud as it could have been.

All in all he's a generally silent sweet man until his temper gets the better of him or his 'inspiration' strikes.

The Cerberus snapped to silence at the noise of something, anything. Another beast? To come and take the rest away now? Didn't that understand? Though he halted at the familiar dragon, looking confused at the creature before allowing himself to be pulled in closer away from the humans as the dragon essentially began explaining the basics of life and death. It made sense, it was sound logic. But he didn't like hearing it, he didn't really want to listen to it. Maybe if he pretended not to hear it would change something.
Even if he knew it wouldn't.
[But why?] Fluffy stared up at the dragon a moment, pleading for some better answer to come. As if questioning it was going to make it better. Though the stare didn't last too long as Cora's movement suddenly alarmed him. Where was she taking the human? Why? He nearly stood to follow after, to stop her as if they could still fix this all, but halted again and shied back to the dragon's side. Everything he'd gotten close to just seemed to bleed more lately. They'd always shooed him away from humans because of that... wasn't that it? [Tavast... does that make us bad?] He looked up again, watching the scene quietly as she buried the man under the dirt and rocks. [Because we don't die and they do?] He didn't quite get it anymore. That was why they ran? Because he just reappeared again? Because no matter how much he was beaten up he didn't quite vanish?
...it wasn't like he asked for it to begin with. That was a bit unfair. He just wanted things to be normal again. Like that had been... even if it meant dealing with some of the less kind humans again. ...[Tavast, if we go back to the mountain will things be normal again?]
The sudden sound of someone shouting drew the gaze of the Cerberus as he was about to suggest going back, just to see. Instead the creature merely whined at the human before clinking back further behind the dragon. If he got close more would break... wouldn't they?
Tavast shook his head slowly at the Cerberus, snorting a little.
<Is the sun bad because it shines? Is water bad because it is wet?> Tavast asked the young Cerberus. <No Fluffy, we aren't bad. We are what we are. Humans are what they are. We just don't... Belong together. If they had left us be, then none of this would have happened.>
But they hadn't - they'd had to bring more humans here... Then everything went to pot.
A rumbling sigh escaped the dragon.
<I wish I could tell you yes Fluffy, but no. What's done is done - there's no changing it now.>
When Tonio appeared and yelled at him, he turned his head and stared at the man for a second.
Then just laid down next to fluffy, head resting atop his claws. If that didn't tell Tonio he wasn't planning on hurting anyone - nothing would.

Cora heard it, but it took her a moment to realize someone had been screaming. Lifting her head slowly, she just stood there staring as it slowly starts to click in her head who she was seeing before her. Those lifeless blue eyes seem to come alive with shock as she realized Tonio was before her, hurt but alive.
She didn't know what made her move, but she did, nearly tripping int he process as she ran right for him. Her mind racing at the fact that he was alive, he was still here with her. As she got closer, she didn't care anymore, ******** this strange friendship they had, this countless picking and teasing each other.
Grabbing him by the neck, she pulls him down and kiss him.
She would deal with everything later, right now, she just needed this.
Once again sound advice was offered, and it helped. A little. But didn't relieve that tight knot threatening to get worse for the Cerberus. Not nearly. He merely laid down near Tavast slowly, tail curling tightly around him as he sulked a bit. Nothing could be the way it was again, nothing would go back to it... he wouldn't see the nice humans he liked again. [They're all gone...] He hadn't seen it for all of them, but he was sure. [The one with brown fur... she fell in the water, Tavast. It ate her.] He sad it slowly, looking up a bit. He liked that one too right? He should know.
He might have started bawling in a silent form only the poor dragon would have been subjected to at that point, the last image of the woman waving coming back to mind as he mentioned her. But it was pushed aside by an odd scene happening before them. A really confusing one that the dog couldn't fathom much better than why humans didn't reappear like them.
[Why... is she biting him?] The question was full of shock as the Cerberus shied closer to Tavast a bit afraid. Like it was some weird ritual that was going to end with the humans attacking them again. They did that sometimes. But the humans hated the biting, so why rush to one that was alive and bite it. [Aren't they hurt enough?] WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?

Tavast sighed. Yes, he had liked the brown maned human handler. She'd tried - even as Cecil had caused them pain she had tried - he had not forgotten her.
<Humans go away Fluffy, that is their way - just as it is their way to hurt us...>
He took blinked however at the scene before him, and as the Cerberus shied into him he shook his head. <She is probably just defending her territory Fluffy - nothing to worry about, I'm sure she won't break him.> A rumbling laugh shook the dragon.
[Are you sure?] The voice came through as a whisper as the canine slunk further down, now an oversized ball of black fur as he stared in absolute horror at what he saw.
