Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
The crystalized core of the Nightmarish Abomination exploded, shattering into pieces. The rest of the monster's mud-like body finally dissipated into ashes, dying on the spot.
Fran and Alma celebrated the moment they saw the monster vanquished, jumping while holding hands.
"Yaaay! She did it!"
"The thing's dead!"
As the two jumped happily, the bubble quickly descended into the ground, which was now without water, and it opened, letting them out.
"It took longer than I thought, it was more resilient than I imagined…" Nyx said. "But it's gone now! And the girl is… Oh! She's fine now?"
Nyx, Fran, and Alma noticed a girl, looking around to be twelve years of age, with clear brown skin, almost as if it was tanned and slightly short blonde hair reaching her neck.
"Is she okay?" Fran wondered.
"I can feel she ha some lifeforce…" Nyx said. "Well, let's go see if she's alright first."
