Snippet #1524836

Hanzel gripped the gun by his side, he saw Horris fighting off the merman and was happy, he saw Horris trying to calm the merman down. Maybe there will be peace! Then he started to quiver when seeing Horris, who had started to reply to something Avidin said, slowly getting pulled away by the song Hanzel couldn't hear, the girl with red hair was the cause; she said she was singing and going to eat them? Well he would make her sing bloody murder, and make her eat lead! Horris run! he wanted to scream, but he was frozen by fear. Soon this fear built to rage, and what he was starting to muster the courage to do, what he wanted to do, was to shoot the girl right there, go up to her with his ears plugged and blow her brains out. But no, no he couldn't he wouldn't make it there. Could he? He pulled the pistol and aimed it from the bush straight for the mermaid, but then he started to get tugged by the young nymph.

"Come with me, hurry, hurry, before you get killed yourself."

He looked at the nymph, despite her being green she was quite cute, and she sounded l over and pulling on his sleeve, he looked at her with the face not of a professor, but of a young teenage boy, who just lost good friends. He gritted his teeth, whispering to her with the raspy voice of a scream, "Let me kill them! I'll make them pay! Why did they have to tempt Gilfried! You saw it! He threw skulls to the ground! What did he expect! We wanted peace!" Tears trickle down his face as he tries to steady his revolver again, aiming it at the mermaid even as he is being pulled by the nymph. "Let me kill her at least! She can't eat Horris!"

He looks at the nymph again, her eyes looked like they hid something but he didn't care. She seemed to be the only creature here that was trying to help him, and her voice soothed him beyond compare; yet rage still built inside.
