In a moment, the parents were lifeless. Their bodies, motionless.
The brothers were crying and screaming.
Stark and Hafen were speechless.
Matteo was devastated. He muttered for their parents to wake up.
The trio could not believe their parents were gone. They did not want to believe it. They cried for their parents to breathe.
Sabre laughed. He commented that the Fisher Family was nothing, now.
The Exalted One asserted that the brothers were predestined to become pawns for their goals.
Meanwhile, the cloaked figures were standing by the side.
The Exalted One asked his group if the ritual was ready.
One of the cloaked figures surrounding the house confirmed that it was ready.
The Exalted One, satisfied, ordered them to start the ritual.
Suddenly, a black flame emerged in the house. It was a small black flame.
The brothers noticed it, and they were surprised
Suddenly, the black flame grew bigger and expanded.
The cloaked figures were astonished.
The black flames engulfed the house.
Sabre grabbed the bodies of Adelia and Henry.
The trio tried to stop him.
Sabre laughed and pushed them away with a wave of energy. He threw the bodies into the black flames.
The brothers watched as the black flames engulfed their parents' corpses.
Suddenly, the flames grew bigger and expanded. Stark, Hafen, and Matteo were shocked. They rushed to their home.
As the black flames were expanding, the house started to disintegrate. It was disappearing out of reality.
The brothers ran into the burning house to retrieve the bodies of Adelia and Henry. A faint light emitted from the brothers. Still, the trio, engulfed by the smoke, screamed and fell unconscious. They could not reach the bodies.
As the moon shined, Pepe woke up nearby. He woke up due to the smell of something burning. He immediately thought about food. However, he turned around and saw the house burning. It was getting covered in black flames.
Cloaked figures stood outside chanting something.
Pepe recognized the cloaks. It was the same as the pair from the day prior. However, they were not the main problem.
As he watched the fire, Pepe was shocked to see the brothers in there. His eyes widened. His friends were still in there, asleep. He stood up. He rushed towards the house.
The Exalted One and Sabre saw him. The Exalted One yelled at him to not interfere.
From the shadows, four cloaked figures came out and surrounded Pepe.
One of them, the female cloaked figure, charged at Pepe and remarked that he was not going any further.
Pepe jumped over her and grabbed her cloak's hood. He used the female cloaked figure as a pedestal to turn in mid-air and kicked another charging cloaked figure in the face. T
he charging cloaked figure rolled on the ground.
The female cloaked figure demanded him to let go.
While in the air, another cloaked figure rushed at Pepe.
Pepe stomped on his head while pulling on the hood of the female cloaked figure.
The stomped cloaked figure hit the ground head-first.
Pepe threw the female cloaked figure to the last two cloaked figures.
They exclaimed as they fell to the ground.
Pepe jumped through the window into the burning house.
The Exalted One stated they should go. He concluded that there was no escape for them from the flames of their god.
Pepe entered the house through the trio's bedroom window. He landed in the house, surrounded by fire. It was getting difficult to breathe. He was in a panic. He saw a burning corpse at the door.
The fire reached the doorway, but it was spreading rapidly.
Pepe grunted and as the smoke covered the ceiling. He found the brothers. They were unconscious. Strangely, they were not burning.
Pepe grabbed Hafen and threw him outside the window. He started to inhale the smoke. He coughed. Next, he threw Stark through the window. He groaned as his skin burned. Finally, he grabbed Matteo. He struggled to lift him up and exclaimed that he was heavy. He used almost all of his strength and threw him outside.
Stark exclaimed to Matteo to watch it.
Pepe jumped out before the fire could touch him. He saw the three of them awake as he landed on the ground.
Matteo worryingly asked if Pepe was alright.
Pepe gasped for air and questioned if he looked like he was fine. He stammered, that of course not, and that the smoke itself burned him.
They, concerned and confused, stared towards the burning house.
Hafen questioned why this was happening.
Pepe reminded that the two strangers did this.
Stark asked about his parents.
Pepe solemnly replied that they were burnt to a crisp. They were too far gone to save.
The brothers started to tear up.
Stark wiped his tears. Furthermore, he stood up and decided that he would go back inside.
Pepe asked if he was ridiculous. He elaborated that he just risked his life for them. He asserted that he would not be able to save him a second time.
Stark gritted his teeth and commented he would be back with Adelia and Henry.
Matteo cried that he understood how Stark felt, but it was too dangerous.
Stark glanced at the kids. A tear fell down his cheek as he muttered that they were supposed to go to the outside world, together.
Hafen remarked that the whole house was covered in fire, now. It was a death wish.
Stark examined Pepe. Pepe had serious burns all over his body. His clothes almost burnt off. Stark could see the burns on his insides, as well.
Stark sat on the ground and looked at the starry sky. He cried and cursed at the world.
The kids wailed and witnessed their house crumble and disintegrate into nothingness. They had nowhere to go, now, and they slowly fell asleep.
