#your rain

                                                      -Chapter 9-

*You two had been wandering through the caves for what seemed like a while now. *Even that you didn’t know that this cave is connected to police station, who knew!

Mugman looked around in the darkness with the tip of his finger to illuminate the way in the caverns, with Frisk behind him, they had to stay together as they are gone ever deeper into dark caves after they escaped.

‘’This reminds me that day when me and Cups had gone into the cave that lead to a casino.’’ he muttered under his breath then turns over to Frisk as he asked ‘’Does this remind of-?’’

*You quickly told him yes when you remembered the first you went to the Underground. *But best not to mention that’s also where you met _ _ _ _ _ there for the first time too.

‘’Oh, heheh… I forgot.’’ Mugman apologized as he rubbed his head as he steadied the light on his fingertip, Frisk giggled for a moment then patting on his shoulder. Making Mugman feel better as he looked at Frisk.

*You told Mugman that it’s alright that he forgot, *Even though in a time like this and so on. *but for now, you need to find a way out of the caves and find their friends.

Mugman nodded in agreement with a gentle smile then heard strange noises coming from the cave beside them just one minute away as they both looked at it. They both walked towards it as they get a bit more clearer noise but it sounded like someone that is talking funny.

‘’BwahbwahbwahbwahwawawawaBwahBwah!’’ ‘’Hehehehe!’’

They go closer and closer to the cave and enters it, they noticed the signs like ‘’BWAH BWAH’’ and ‘’Beware Mama Tattletail’’ as they get closer to the night the light at the other end of the cave then finds themselves in a strange underground town filled with odd rabbit-like creatures and egg-shaped armless toys are walking around, making much mischief as they can together.

Frisk and Mugman looked at the sign on top of the cave saying; ‘’Welcome to Rabbid-Tail Town, enjoy your stay but still; Beware of Mama!’’ and obviously, it was poorly written, written like a 7 year old child had written it for them.

‘’Frisk, we should leave.’’ Mugman suggested to them, Frisk looked at him then at the store had a sign that read ‘’Tattletail’s and Rabbid’s Store’’ that is also like the welcome sign.

*You said to Mugman that they should get some supplies for *The journey ahead if they had found Cuphead.

Mugman looked at the store then looked at Frisk again and said ‘’Well alright, let’s see what’s useful in there.’’

They walked in the store and see a Rabbid zipped by and then jumped onto a box with a Tattletail on its head as it spoke ‘’bwahbwahbwahbwahbwahbwabwabwa!’’

Frisk and Mugman looked at the Rabbid confused because they didn’t understood what it said as Tattletail looked at them before giggling ‘’Rabbid is saying if you two want anything from here.’’

                        (Rabbid and Tattletail meeting Frisk and Mugman)

‘’Oh right. D-do you two had anything that might be useful?’’ Mugman asked at least one of them who can speak english, Tattletail hopped from the Rabbid’s head then pulled the red certains back to reveal a cabinet filled with simple things like canned food, a banana, weapons from both Medieval Ages to WWI & II eras and one WWII Marine bandolier that is strangely glowing reddish-yellow just barely visible to the two lanterns.

Rabbid now stands behind the box as it spoke ‘’Bwahbwahbwah?’’ and then the TattileTail explained ‘’He said ‘’What will you like?’’.’’

Canned Bacon Soups (Heals 20 HP)

An Banana (Heals 13 HP)

Sword (Damage 15)

Crossbow (Damage 12)

WWI Trench Knife (Damage 17)

Colt "New Service" Revolver (Damage 12, if at the heart, it’ll be 20)

WWII Marine Bandolier (DF 24)

Mugman looked around for a moment with Frisk while they are looking at the WWII Marine bandolier with curiosity, why is it glowing like that?

Mugman had finally decided as he said ‘’I will take three cans of Bacon Soup and a trench knife for my friend.’’ to them as Frisk looked over to Mugman with surprise. Rabbid nodded then grabbed three cans and the WWI trench knife that had been stealthed then putting them in a rucksack then giving it to Mugs as Frisk paid with the remaining golden coins.

‘’We even had another rucksack for free!’’ Tattletail stated the fact, Frisk looked at the bandolier with still curious thoughts.

Mugman then asked ‘’What are you looking at Frisk?’’ after he noticed them are looking at something.

*You said that you are looking at a bandolier they had in the cablet. *Then you asked what it is doing here.

‘’Bwah?’’

‘’The old thing? We had found it when we first came here.’’ Tattletail translated for his friend, looking at the bandolier as well then looked at Frisk.

‘’BwahbwahbwahbwahbwahBwaah!’’

‘’He said ‘’since you’re interested in it, we will let you have it!’’ How lucky!’’ Tattletail translated once again.

‘’W-we will? B-but-’’

‘’BwahBwah!’’

‘’”We insist!” he said, once again translated the statement for his friend as he grabbed the bandolier and a rucksack for Frisk as Mugman was amazed for their generosity and kindness.

‘’Well thank you! Thank you very much!’’ Mugman gleely gushed as they both walked out of the store and back into the town

Frisk looked over to Mugman with the bandolier in hand as Mugman looked over to them, he tilted his head a little bit for what Frisk is thinking then they hand over to Mugman.

*You asked Mugman if he could try it on.

‘’I-I thought you were going to wear it Frisk.’’ Mugman murmured as he scratched his head, Frisk took a step closer to him.

*You insisted if he should try it first, you said that you thought he might feel like a soldier if he put it on.

‘’Well…’’ he sighed in defeat, ‘’Alright.’’

Frisk handed the bandolier to Mugman then stands back for him to try it on, he puts it on and it goes across his chest, it’s too big for his size but it hands on his right shoulder.

*Mugman put on bandolier as it didn’t felt him well but it hangs onto his right shoulder. *For a reason, he feels tough, tough as his brother, tough as the bosses he had fought. *Fear that resided in him had faded away, he felt like he could laugh danger in its face. *He even can’t remember what fear was, only urge to shout ‘’Oorah!’’ *He had no idea what it means but; it sounded cool.

*He is now filled with… COURAGE

*You asked Mugman what does he think of the bandolier he’s wearing.

‘’It’d feels great!’’ Mugman exclaimed, revealing that he had sky-blue eyes as a bandolier is glowing a bit more now as Frisk giggled. Mugman blushed as he scratched the back of his head once more.

‘’Hehe. Frisk, you are too sweet for your own good you know?’’ Mugman said, Frisk nodded as they helped putting the rucksack on Mugman and in return, he helped Frisk with theirs on their back. He looked at Frisk and ask ‘’Ready to go?’’

*You said yes and let Mugman lead the way out of Rabbid-Tail Town.

They continued their journey through the caves, the water is dripping down from the ceiling above them, echoing the calming sounds as they landed on the glowing water flowing below as they walked beside it.

Mugman looked around as he hold hands with Frisk, his eyes had spotted something on a rock as he stopped to a halt with Frisk who then looked to what he is looking at: a lantern. ‘’It’s a lantern!’’ he said as he had fast walked towards it then examined it, ‘’It still got some oil left in it, I think it will help shine our way out of here!’’ he tapped on the glass a little as he smells the smell of oil inside it. Frisk walked over to him before they tapped on his shoulder, getting his attention.

*You said that none of them had a match on one of them. *One thing you is: How are they going to get it to lit?

‘’Well, I had the magic power on the tip of my fingers.’’ Mugs shyly said with a pun, Frisk giggled as Mugman did the finger gun again, seeing the familiar small ball of magic on his fingertips while he opened the lantern before putting his finger in, thus creating a small fire like lighting a candle. He then closes it then picks it up. Shining the area around them as he smiled.

*Lantern is lit a small flame thanks to Mugman. *I guess it helps to lighten up the mood a little. *Hehe.

‘’Now we can see better! Come on!’’ Mugman said, he felt confident now like Cuphead. Frisk nodded then headed to the direction Mugman had chosen, they walked fast through the echoing caves without fear then they noticed a kid just about Mugman’s age down the wet path.

It a 9-year-old girl with a with #3 pool ball for a head, she wore a orange-and-yellow-striped dress and boots that seemed to big for her since it had reached to her knees. She was looking around when she noticed them heading her way.

Meeting Trace

‘’Hi!’’ the girl said as they approached her while Mugman puts down the lantern, ‘’Hello? What are you doing in the cave?’’ Mugman asked as they stopped near the glowing water. ‘’I dunno, I had woke up here after a blackout in Inkwell.’’

‘’You were brought here from Inkwell Isle too? Oh my… Are you alright?’’ Mugman asked concerned for her safety, she nodded and said ‘’I am alright, I know those yucky undead things can’t get me and my family in these caves. Anyway, you must be Cuphead’s brother; Mugman, right?’’

‘’Yeah. I guess we are famous after beating the Devil after all.’’ Mugman answered, the pool ball head girl looked over to Frisk and said ‘’Is this human a friend of yours?’’

‘’’Yeah, to me, my bro and our friends. What is your name?’’ he questioned to the girl, she gushed ‘’Well, my name is Trace! I am a number 3 pool ball and unrelated to Mangosteen.’’ as she twirled her leg around and giving him a wink.

Frisk tapped on her shoulder, making Trace to look at them.

*You asked Trace if she had know a way out of The Caves.

‘’Yeah! My dad had lead me to where it was yesterday, so it wouldn’t be that hard to go through these caverns.’’ Trace said as she pointed out a way as Mugman picks up the lantern while he said ‘’You do?’’ with hope.

‘’Yeah, follow me!’’ She said as she walked forward with them following her into the tunnel of The Caves, along the way, she sang

‘’Through the darkern caves~ where the water flows while it glows it’s cyan-blue light to lead the three friends a way and out the caverns of the night~’’

As her voice had echoed through the walls of The Caves while they enjoyed her singing throughout the journey then they stopped along with Trace as they noticed music had began playing throughout the caves then voices claimed into the music by singing:

The light through the window streams in and

Breaks on your brow

(Breaks on through to you)

And she floats on by

‘’Oh!’’ she had whispered to Mugman and Frisk, ‘’This song had begun playing again! This had happened over two days ago, on my first day in The Caves, this song had played while we’re trying to settle in, my older brother and dad had gone out to see who was singing but no one’s there but on the second, the song had extended with more lyrics to it. Be quiet and pay attention.’’ She hushed to them then hushering them to continue on walking as the woman’s voice had began singing with the music.

Beautiful sad, lost child

Cruelty reconciled

I stand with you, forever

Can you feel me here?

They walked as they noticed the ribbles in the glowing water had started to go along with the music like someone had been throwing pebbles of rocks into it as the woman and voices sing the next verse together in perfect harmony.

Remember

(Her love will find you)

(Her love will reach you)

(Held in her arms, remember)

They then look up and saw tiny blue lights are flying around them and then away from them, they all looked around as the voices had continued to sing their souls out.

Forever

(Her love will find you)

(Her love will heal you)

(Shield you from harm, forever)

Forever

They then noticed a shadow of a woman coming from the next tunnel due to a light-blue light, the figure was dancing gracefully like a ballerina, they tiptoed to the tunnel as they kept the eye on the shadow as the woman sung once more.

I’ll shield you

Remember

Then the figure stopped dancing as if whoever she is seemed to know they are there before the three kids ran into whoever is singing and dancing.

Heal you, forever

As quickly as she sung the last verse of the lullaby, she disappeared in a quick flash and smoke as fast as lightning before they get a chance to look at her.

She’s… gone? But how? As the music is approaching to it’s fated end, they looked around for the woman but they didn’t find her… yet they did find one thing on the floor; a dark green scarf just laying down on the floor.

Frisk walked over to it and picks it up.

*You had picked scarf. *...Yet, it smells of vodka for a strange reason.

Frisk then puts it on their rucksack as Mugman looked around the area as he spoke ‘’She was singing and dancing in here but she had vanished!’’ then looked over to Frisk and Trace with concerned. ‘’Do you think that this cave is haunted?’’

‘’I am not sure yet Mugs but it would be awesome if it is by some ghost lady.’’ Trace replied to Mugman who is now looking at the other tunnel as Trace looked at it with Frisk as she said ‘’It should lead us out of here!’’

‘’Right, we better get going before-’’ Mugman said as the same woman’s voice that had sing suddenly said ‘’Behind you…’’

They all turned around and sees a man they had dreaded and hoped they will never see him again; Colonel Mael Radec. Who is holding a gun and one of those jetbacks on his back, he took a step closer to them with anger and cold toned his voice ‘’You thought you could escape us? Your friend’s kind knows no hope in that.’’

‘’Y-you mean making a deal with the Devil?’’ Mugman asked confused but right now at this moment, he felt brave, brave enough to punch him to the ground for kidnapping and taken him and his friend hostage in a cell.

‘’No, ISA… Now surrender now and return with me back to camp.’’ Radec had demanded to them, gripping his rifle tight than before as he sensed something is up with Mugman who felt anger for first time.

‘’Or you will what?’’ Trace asked in a fright, hiding behind Frisk as if her life and existence depends on them. Radec then aims the weapon at them in one hand and said ‘’Don’t. Toy with me creature. I will not ask you two again; Surrender now and return with me back to camp…’’

*....... *You looked over to Mugman and…

*He refused.

‘’NEVER Freakbag! Never in your life!’’ Mugs barked at him before covering his mouth, what is wrong with him? He had never said that to anyone before other than Cuphead! Something in him is taking over like a remote-controlled toy.

That made Radec aim his rifle at Mugman with his voice more colder than ever, ‘’You should’ve give up on escaping when you had the chance. If you’re going to come with me or do you know how defend yourself?’’ he had said before cocking his olympic shotgun back and ready to use it if necessary.

‘’I… I uh…’’ he said before looking at his hand before making the finger gun once again with magic on his pointer finger then looking at Radec. ‘’Good,’’ he announced ‘’Now there’s any plan you have left, I am afraid that it will not work well for you Mug.’’ then he gotten himself ready to fight Mugman who stood his ground as he had his arms out, shielding Frisk and Trace from him as he yelled to them ‘’Run!!’’

Frisk and Trace looked at each other before running away, leaving him in the room alone with Radec.

*Radec had caught up to you in time.

Mael Radec vs Mugman

A battle is sure is blowing, you’re up!

Radec opened fire first but Mguman had ran out of the way, then he fire back at him multiple times before he flew over him with the help of a StA-X6 Jetpack he had equipped, before landing and getting out an electric hand grenade and throwing at Mugman, it explodes and stock Mugman as he groaned in pain, stuned.

Radec didn’t hesitate and ran up to him, grabbing and throwing him at a wall, he loses one of his HP now at 2%

Mugman got up with his legs shaking, then looked over to the colonel with anger, he then rolls up his sleeves and readies the finger guns once more while Radec had thrown down the rifle and getting out a combat knife as he vanished into thin air.

Mugman looked around cautiously for any sign of movement till he sensed him from behind and opened fire immediately at him as he uncloaks. He yelled in pain before slashing out at him with the combat knife, he dodged it quickly as they quickly backed into the light coming from the ceiling, shedding more light to the fight as Mugman kept firing at him with no hesitation.

Get him in the hand where’s he’s holding that knife kid!

A familiar voice came to Mugman in his head, he looked around as he whispered ‘’What…?’’ as Colonel Radec had slashed again, Mugs barely misses it and got crack on the arm from the attack, making him hold it to prevent it from bleeding.

‘’Will you please leave us alone and let us go?!’’ Mugman yelled at the Helghan who studied his ground, ‘’I will not, unless it would help your allies with their situation if you had come with me to Helghast.’’

‘’I will never join you!!’’ Mugman spat out towards him as his voice had mixed with someone else’s as he hold his mouth again while Radec looked at him like he was possessed by a spirit.

‘’What had gotten into you…?’’ he questioned as he turned his attention towards a ghost of a… man. He then swears it was Dempsey but different, far more different than what he was or who he was either.

That man is Caucasian like Dempsey but his hair is a little blond and buzz-cut, is wearing WWII Marine uniform with sleeves rolled up and is wearing the same bandolier that Mugman is wearing.

Radec had never seen this happened before but he knew he had to act fast to get it off of him, he looked at Mugman as he slowly became invisible once again.

“W-where did he go??” he gasped as he looked around for any signs of him, Dempsey’s voice came to him again “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine kiddo. Just leave it-” but was interrupted by Radec grabbing Mugman by his head’s handle.

“AH! Let me go!” Mugman begged as he struggled to break free as Radec grabbed the bandolier before taking it off of him before dropping the mug on the ground, Mugman felt courage began to leave him and fear once more taken its place. “Sh- Don’t be scared! It will be okay kiddo…”

Mugman had heard the voice in his head fade away as his eyes slowly went back to normal, Radec then threw the bandolier to the opposite side of the room as Mugman helplessly watched. Radec looked down at the mug and said “Nothing with to fight me now.” as Mugman is looking at him.

“L-Listen! You really don’t have t-to do this! This is not your kind would race would want!” Mugman pleaded as he crawled backwards towards the wall as Radec took a few steps towards him. “You will stand and fight with us like soldiers or you’re against us.”

“Never! I-In this universe, you’re a pest! A rat!” He yelled as Radec had took a glare on him, he shook his head slowly and said “Then this is what you wanted, in otherwise…” then pulled out a pistol. Unaware that someone is in the background, picking up and putting the bandolier on then turned their attention towards the unexpecting two.

Mugman was shaking as Radec pointed that weapon at him, “What are you going to do now?” he said, Mugs was so scared that he had began to thought about his options: Scream for help or run away, fight or flight mode?

Mugman was choosing til he screamed “SOMEONE HELP ME!!” as Radec stood still, gun still trained on the fear-filled mugs.

*You called out for help….

…….

*But nobody came.

“Don’t,” Radec scowled, “You dare scream like that again. It’s weakness.” as he got ready to fire a bullet-

*But… All but Cuphead did!

“You stay away from him!” He screamed as he throws a blast attack on Radec, knocking him off of his feet and dropping the pistol in the process. Mugman’s eyes went wide as he sees his brother and he’s wearing the bandolier he had lost when that Helgen took it off and like before, his eyes are sky blue as well.

*Cuphead is now filled with… COURAGE

“C-Cuphead! Y-You’re okay!” Mugman gasped as he looked at his brother, Cuphead smiled as he too is glad that Mugman is alright then turned back to the Colonel with the finger gun ready, eager to fight him now. “You should be taught a lesson!” he bellowed out towards him as he got up and back on his feet.

“Clever of you, I admire that but that is suicide.” Radec as he got out a rifle, Cuphead hushered Mugms back a little as his brother looked at him while he said “Ready to fight Mugs?” Mugman nodded as he got back on his feet, he looked over to his brother and said “I thought I lost you Cups.”

“I thought I lost you too, I’m glad I came here just in time.” Cuphead smiled as he looked at him then they turned their attention towards Radec with the finger guns ready.

In a flash, they dashed towards him as Mael stood ready to fight them.

Ready? Now go!

Meanwhile… [Long before Frisk and Mugman escaped… A little bit before.]

Your Rain (Made on 10/2/2018)

Nikolai had unknowingly found himself in a place at nighttime with clouds covering up the sky, he didn’t know this place this time, he remembered after Mugman, Frisk and Boris had been captured then they had to retreat thanks to the walking dead and hide in some place.

Then the next thing he know: Everything around him gone dark and then he found himself at an unfamiliar place but he can read the sign on it’s wall.

Windsor Elementary School

He wondered in disbelief, then when he looked at himself; he’s not in his usual attire, only a dress shirt, pants and boots. He rubbed his head and that is when he realized he is not wearing the aviator hat as well. It concerns him more; that made him completely vulnerable to any armed forces and not armed with a gun or a melee weapon.

Was this a dream? Or an illusion? “Hmm…”

He looked around for a little bit more, there lampposts lighting the streets, some of the houses are lights and vehicles he didn’t recognized. He is alone in that place, no doubt about that. He looked up at the flag post and sees the American flag, that confirmed he’s in USA but what state?

Nikolai was still concerned though, then he said his thought out loud “This can’t get more worse, can it?” but he realized he had said it too soon. Thunder roared from the sky, catching Nikolai in surprise, then the wind begins to blow hard and to top it off, it began to rain as well as lightning strikes once more.

Defeated, Nikolai looked down and muttered “Obviously, it can.” then he heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him, that made him realized that he’s not alone like he thought. He turned around and see a young lady, with a light brown aviator hat with goggles, army green t-shirt, blackish tie-up pants and black rubber flip flops, she came from around the corner of the school, almost of nowhere as if. She stopped for a moment to take her flip flops and then used them as a shield against the storm but it still got onto her nonetheless.

“Excuse me! Please miss, can you…” Nikolai spoke up but she, for an odd reason, didn’t seemed to hear him. That made Nikolai realized as he watched her go by, so helpless in the rain while she walked in bare feet. He then decided to walk with her, maybe if he could get to her then he will know what’s going on, seems like a plan, right?

He then walked fast to catch up with her, “Do you hear me? Mind telling-” Nikolai was too shock to finish his sentence when he tried to place his hand on her shoulder only for it to go through it like he was a ghost. He stopped in place after it had happened as thoughts raced through his mind. Has he died!? He grabbed his arm to see if it’s true but he is able to grab it and feel his blood pumping, he was a little relieved to know this but it doesn’t explained why his hand had gone through her. Maybe he really just dreaming of this.

Then he realized she had gone over to a small one story white house with a flag pole, she rang the doorbell as Nikolai walked up on the porch to be safe and dry from the storm. The porch light came on as they both stood, then a door opened and there was an elderly old woman is standing there in robe.

“Well hello there.” The old lady spoke with concern, “What are you doing out here in the rain?”

“I-I was swinging on the s-swings when I didn’t noticed the storm coming in, as much a-as you can see.” Young lady explained in between her voice stuttering, playing on the swings? Nikolai found that odd the she is an older than a child, she should about that by now right?

“I see, does your parents know you’re here dear?” the old lady questioned as an old man, her husband came from behind the wall to see who it was. “Of course they do, I-I come to the park from home often. It’s not far from here b-but it is a couple of blocks away from here.” Young lady answered with her voice had tone to a soft cry for help. Nikolai can hear it as the old woman nodded “Alright then, do you need a ride home?”

“O-Of course! Of course I do.” She accepted the offer, “Well alright then, can you come inside and wait so I can get you a towel to dry yourself off?” she kindly asked, with a nodding from the young lady while she stood aside and lets her into her house, Nikolai quickly ran inside before the door could close on him. He was surprised that no one didn’t notice him come in, almost as if he didn’t exist… like he was invisible.

The old lady heard her husband saying something to her, he needed to talk to her for a minute. The old woman turned to the young lady and said “Wait here for me, will you? It will only be for a minute.”

“Okay.”

Then they went to another room while she stood where she stand, Nikolai looked at her, all wet and alone as he wandered in his mind; what is going on? Was she the connection to all of this… is this a flashback of her memories?

That last question is too strange for Nikolai’s mental state of mind as he continued to watch her, she was like a lost, cold and confused child.

She looked around the house but she didn’t move, she was scared that she will get the furniture wet if she sat down one of them. Young lady looked around as she took off her aviator hat that revealed her short brown hair as she feels it through her fingers.

Then finally, she began to walk towards the hall where the old couple had entered with Nikolai following her as she scanned each room she went passed then she looked to the room that he assumed that it’s the couple’s bedroom. She looked into the room and see the couple talking then they noticed her in the hallway. The kind old woman walked out of the room and went into the room that the young lady was next to and comes out with a pinkish white towel for her to dry off. “Well, since it’s raining bady outside,” she began as she gently put her hand on her shoulder, “Would you like a ride home?”

Young lady looked at her with surprise of the old woman’s kindness and selfless, “Yes…!” she agreed without hesitation, old woman walked with the young lady and Nikolai followed behind her to the backward with roof over the patio, she accidentally knock over an empty pot.

“Oops! S-Sorry…” She awkwardly apologized to the old woman, she simply smiled and replied “It’s alright, it’d happens so don’t worry about it.” Nikolai followed them to a garage and see a car that again he didn’t recognize, the old woman walked over to the driver’s seat while the young lady walked to the passenger seat, they do exchange peasantry as the old woman opened the garage and gotten into the car and turned on the engine.

They then leaved the garage and back out in the rain, the young lady seemed to leading the old woman the way back to her home and Nikolai ran out to try to keep up with them but the car drove away. Leaving him alone in the rain as lightning strikes once more and the woman sung softly in the air as drops of water fell down from the clouds.

On the sidewalk of the city

Are my screams just a whisper?

Busy people going nowhere

See me soak in the rain

No compassion, nothing matters

My resistance is waning

Like a flower in the basement waiting for a lonely death

“Time to go back.” a voice called out behind him, making him turned around to see a woman, wearing a cloak and a blindfold, on her neck is a collar with a pendant that looked familiar to him due to its marking.

(Background used is from WallpaperUP)

“She has come back with a pack of hatred to sack us with. An neverending rack of sorrows and her rain…” She spoke in rhyme, Nikolai had no idea what she means by that when her hand glows in a white aura and then had unleashed it onto Nikolai as everything around him had gone white….
