Kevin runs, and he finally, utterly outstrips Nieves. He's in agony, bleeding from massive, serious wounds, and on some level, he knows it's going to be much, much worse when he comes out of his Rage. But that's a dim and distant thought right now, because he's escaped. He flees into the Hisil, finding a place to hide and lick his wounds in the hollow of an old tree.
Nieves is driven further and further into Kuruth. With nothing alive to attack, she attacks the slumbering spirits of the trees, leaving massive claw-like gouges in them. Everything becomes a blur of violence, until she wakes in the real world, on the basement floor. Her hands are a bloody mess, and several of her fingers feel broken. The basement itself has been torn apart.
Both Kevin and Jeremiah eventually find their way back to the locus, although at very different times. Kevin can barely walk, his body a lacerated mess, and he has to drag himself on bloody and broken fingers. Jeremiah, at least, can run.
It takes almost a day for Kevin to reach the locus again, a day of the rest of the pack waiting and wondering.
The Rage is over. Now they have to live with the consequences.
Due to wrap around, Kevin is at 7 agg damage. Despite his Werewolf metabolism, half of this will carry over to the next plot thread he is in, unless the Rite of Healing is performed. Congratulations for all surviving!
I got my last suxx!
