When no one replied to his questions he was quite disappointed.
Avarius would have had no trouble with the ten miles, should he have stayed on course. Back at his homestead on the farmland the nearest thing resembling a shop was just over six miles away and he could, and often would make it there in under two hours, especially when he was excited. 

His families naturalist lifestyle and ideals meant he was never close to anything and quickly got used to long walks and runs. Another thing he got used to was daily meditation. Avarius was so adept at clearing his mind he did it frequent and often. 
Even as he stood still before the charging golem he found a still calmness in meditation that avoided his body from being overcome by instinct and fear.

 [i]'Are there evil summons or just evil summoner's?'[/i] was the thought running through Avarius's mind. 

[color=goldenrod]'This is not how you find out!'[/color] replied the concerned voice of Iju.

Avey was startled by the voice but at the same time slightly relieved as the golem came upon him and hesitated. He saw the confusion on its face.

'[i]see Iju, I'm ok. I will not allow myself to be coerced into[/i]'  [b][h3]SMACK![/h3][/b] his conversation fell short as the golem got its confirmation and Avarius was suddenly struck by heavy solid stone. 

Pain radiated through his body, layers of shock diluted and numbed most of it. His ears rung as the world was spinning and fading away, he felt like he was flying. 
Next he would awaken in the med bay once again. Unaware of how much time had passed. Mass bruising covering most of his right side. A broken collar bone and a perforated ear drum.
