To round out Einherjar gathering for this chapter, we have a pretty short one.

220, 221, 226... Umm... Looks like 230 bucks.





Everyone did great today. You can't make this kind of money working by yourself.

Huh?

That idiot picked a nobleman's pocket! They caught him... And then, they... They tortured him to death-

No way...

Sorry kid, but it's for real. His body's hanging from a post in town! It's horrible. But that ain't all. The worst part is that since he messed with the nobility, they sent the whole army to wipe out all the thieves from the slums.

!!



They're killing people left and right. It's complete madness!

What are we going to do? And what about Rusty? He just went out there!

If he's still alive, you'll find him. Me, I'm gettin' out of here. I hear they're coming this way!



But what about the kids?

I'll take care of them. You go on ahead.

But...!!

We'll meet up in the woods outside town. It'll be too dangerous if we go together. Now go!!

But the kids trust me most!

I don't want to die...

You can't kill me...







---





I don't want to be left alone again... I, I just don't know what I should do...

What are you talking about? No way am I gonna run off and leave you here!!



I told you, I'm not going to leave you!

I'm sorry...

"Mommy!"

"It hurts...!"

"Ahh.... Arrgghhh..."

Listen: Lucian

Lucian is voiced by Eric Stuart. That rounds out the main Pokemon cast - Stuart voiced Brock and James. His other big role was Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh!

I am the one who chooses souls.

You're... a Valkyrie!? But... You look just like...

Do you not wish to come with me? You have earned the right to join the Einherjar.



If that is how you feel...
