particularly Adept at combat so it was
the safest approach to deal with a
single Fallen squeak understood if there
are too many we cannot fight back and we
will be infected the mention of
infection startled guonan for a moment a
flicker of inspiration flashing through
her mind before Vanishing all right you
go now and I'll watch from the window
gonion got off the bed crouching down to
place her hand on the window sill squeak
the mouse nimbly climbed onto the window
sill skillfully squeezing Through the
Windows Gap once the mouse was outside
gonon realized a concerning issue the
platform's lift column was on the other
side of the house the darkness outside
was overwhelming and the dim Light
Within only illuminated the area near
the window once the mouse ran too far
she could no longer see it gonon
hesitated contemplating whether to wait
until the shelter upgraded and provided
brighter lights before hunting the
Fallen just as she was about to call the
mouse back the platform began to descend
slowly she had no choice but to quickly
close the window tightly preventing her
scent from escaping soon gonon could
hear the sound of Tails slapping against
the water beneath even with the platform
raised High the Fallen had not dispersed
they still loitered around the platform
waiting for an opportunity gonon felt
her heart race beating in Rhythm like a
drum its sound resonating clearly in her
ears she nervously gripped her staff
realizing she was already sweating this
operation was perilous for the mouse if
the platform descended and the mouse's
movements were delayed too many Fallen
jumping up would pose a grave danger to
it the crucial point was that the
platform's area was quite large
invisibility was poor it was possible
that a fallen could jump up from a spot
the mouse could not see and it would
remain oblivious failing to press the
ascent button in time a this moment guon
tion regretted her indecision but it was
too late the shelter had decent sound
proofing the wind outside was strong and
without opening the window to shout the
mouse far away on the other side would
not hear her however opening the window
was out of the question exposing her
scent could attract the fallen and drove
bringing forth powerful Elite level
Fallen leaving No Escape for the mouse
bang bang bang bang sounds of something
striking the platform echoed repeatedly
it was the Fallen beneath crashing
against the platform guinan's expression
changed fighting the urge to rush
outside as her heartbeat quickened in
that moment she realized that this
little creature whom she had only known
for a few days had already begun to tug
at her heartstrings I in those fleeting
seconds gonon felt for the first time
that even a brief moment could be
excruciating fortunately after a slight
trimor the platform began to ascend
slowly to h jonon exhaled a long breath
the mouse had succeeded a wave of Pride
surged within her her little mouse was
indeed clever gonion paused at the door
to prevent herself from stepping out too
soon as the platform had not yet risen
high enough she silently counted to 10
before finally opening the door and
stepping outside the moment she did her
vision was engulfed in darkness she
instinctively closed her eyes and
listened intently her staff pointed
forward as she softly recited an
incantation squeak the mouse was
desperately darting between two Fallen
it was bewildered why having seen a
fallen approach and pressed the ascent
button was there suddenly an additional
one squeak caught off guard it
frantically fled suddenly it spotted
guon tion emerging from the house the
warm orange light spilling out behind
her her dark staff aimed at a specific
point her lips moving this sight nearly
brought the mouse to tears feeling AG
grieved it wanted to rush into gu
Tintin's Embrace I in an instant a spark
