Alone
Silnari walked out of the hut, looking for those wonderful berries that they loved to eat so much. She came to a bush and pushed her way through it. She fell down a small hill and landed at the feet of a large brown Glukkon with huge black wings extending from his back. With a maniacal look in his eyes, the Glukkon raised a knife into the air and plunged it into Silnari's body, only saying one thing: "F***ing Slig! You all deserve to die! You and the Vykkers both!" When Silnari's pulse was gone, the Glukkon turned and ran.
Melinda woke up to find Silnari gone. She didn't think anything of it, since Silnari usually went out to get food. It wasn't until two hours later that Melinda started to worry. She started thinking aloud. "Well, maybe she's having a hard time finding the berries." Melinda ventured out of the hut, searching for her friend. She soon came across her body. Melinda burst into tears, shaking Silnari's body as if she would somehow wake up. "No, Silnari," Melinda wept, "you can't leave me alone." For half an hour, Melinda paced, disbelieving. Finally, crying even harder, Melinda summoned her electrical abilities and blasted the ground open. She gently pushed her friend's corpse into the makeshift grave and covered it up. She wandered into the forest and found a flower that had very special meaning to her. She and Silnari would always stop and smell the sweet fragrance. Melinda picked a seed pod from the flower and planted it on her friend's grave. She aimlessly wandered around the woods, until she collapsed, crying. "I'm alone!" she cried. "I'm alone! I can't be alone! I can't... I can't! I'm too weak alone!" Melinda continued crying unintelligibly, mourning her deceased friend, as well as herself.
