Steeltalon glared at Darkness, not attempting to get up. "Seen enough, you idiot?" she snarled, still full of her old spirit. "You don't get it, do you? When my family was killed, I went insane for a short time. I attacked rexes and spinos, even other raptors, just to get revenge on what Riptide's pack did." She struggled to get up, managing to stand after a few attempts. "And now, if I reminded you of yourself, that's because we're exactly the same. A tragic past, going insane, killing others because of something that isn't our fault . . . " Steeltalon swallowed, coughing violently and spraying the ground with more blood. She knew she had strength enough only for one last assault. Her eyes were fading from dark blue to their usual blood red. She staggered, trembling from the effort of standing. She coughed again, this time spraying the black raptor with blood as well as the ground. "Are you there, Mother?" she whispered, gazing past the black raptor. "I'm coming. Mother, I'll finally join you." Steeltalon's vision began to fade as she struggled to stay standing.
