when she stretched. "When I'm back with Enrico, I'll be allowed to do a little sport first. My condition is totally in the bucket," she mumbled and let herself sink to the floor. Slightly exhausted, she pulled up her knees, crossed her arms over them and rested her head on them. The little one snuggled up to her side without Lydia doing anything. Lydia carefully placed the girl's head on her lap and stroked it.A little later the little one slept. 'It was probably too strenuous for the little one.' Lydia thought to herself and leaned back. ....
<br />
<br />
Later Lydia was awakened roughly. The girl kept shaking her shoulder. Lydia was really amazed at the strength of the child. The sun was already low in the sky. The girl waved her arms around excitedly and kept pointing in one direction. Yawning, Lydia stretched and looked in the direction indicated. There were only 5 black dots on the horizon, but they came closer quickly. The girl stood dangerously close to the precipice, waving. Lydia, startled, reached for the furry belt the little one was wearing. When she pulled on it, the belt opened and the girl made a pained sound. Startled, Lydia grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back. She had let go of the supposed belt. "I didn't mean to. Sorry." Lydia stared slightly disturbed at the furry thing that had turned out to be a tail.The little one was smiling again and hugging Lydia. When she let go of Lydia, she noticed the anchor-like symbol on the white armor. What did that mean? There was no time to think about it. The little one waved again to the 5 points on the horizon. Interested in what kind of machines these might be, Lydia looked over there. She rubbed her eyes quickly. It could only be a dream! It wasn't machines what was in store for them!
<br />
Lydia pressed herself against the wall, startled. Suddenly she felt dizzy. The little one pulled on Lydia's blouse and happily pointed to the flying objects. Lydia closed her eyes, sweat of fear ran down her face. "Otou-san!" the little one called happily and jumped from the ledge. Lydia opened her eyes. Contrary to expectations, the little one did not crash. Quietschfidel she sat in the arms of a man. Lydia still looks around anxiously. Five men hovered in the air in front of her.All of them wore armor similar to the little one, only with a cape. The man who was holding the girl had the same symbol as her on his chest. His pitch-black hair that stood up like flames and a thick beard around his mouth stood out noticeably from the group. Upon closer inspection, Lydia recognized this face. But she couldn't place it. Meanwhile, the girl chattered cheerfully. Lydia assumed that he must be the little ones' father. The men listened attentively to the little one.
<br />
Meanwhile, one of the other men approached Lydia. He got very close to her. Too close for Lydia. Slowly she pushed her way along the rock face. Meanwhile, the man eyed her carefully. He had to smile slightly at her frightened look. 'What does he want?' Lydia felt her way forward, trembling. 'stupid dizziness! 'she annoyed. "Zarlek!" sound it all at once. The man turned to the little one's father. Lydia felt how she slowly lost her footing.While the man who was called Zarlek was rebuked, Lydia tried desperately to find solid ground on the edge of the ledge. Zarlek turned back to her. With a nasty grin on his face, he grabbed Lydia's wrists, but missed them.
<br />
Lydia slipped. She fell like a stone. The fear tightened her throat. Only a choked cry came out.
<br />
It hit the floor with a thud. Her head hit a rock hard. Lydia felt her chest crack. She still saw Zarlek shooting at herself. Then her eyes went black. Something liquid ran across her face. She tasted blood. The pain almost stole her senses. Unexpectedly, Lydia felt cold fingers on her throat. Anxiety! Pure fear was the only feeling besides the pain. Noises and voices were only dimly perceived. Was that crying? She still felt a pair of strong, muscular arms slide under her and lifted up. Her body was now leaning against something hard, yet soft.She passed out deeply. She didn't even feel the wind playing gently with her brownish blond hair.
