It was fortunate enough that Caelis had survived this ambush. Elrithos had wondered how they had gotten to them so quickly and with so many numbers without them ever knowing they were around. He knew how to track people and hunt down prey, yet he hadn’t noticed the steps of the creatures. Goblins were a little harder to decipher in the grass, but Orcs and Trolls should have been easy. And, as he heard earlier, this was a set up for the wood elf… For what? What did they need from her? The Aavikanian had turned to see if she was doing alright, just after Vordan had performed his work… The gashing wound had disappeared completely… How did they manage that? Magic, it had to be it. A few had magic around, although most were more obvious than others. Serna and Tirian had proven to be much more than they actually seemed to be.

Elrithos had given some help to the dwarf with the carts. Vordan, lying on the ground near the carts, was simply starting to take in information… Aaerynn was afflicted, Serna was doomed to be stuck with magic she couldn’t handle, Faith surely had hidden magical potential… It was quite a surprise really. So many secrets were coming out; so many lies were made… Yet, Vordan wasn’t in the least mad about it. They all had their right to hide their truths. Aaerynn was more of a concern right now, as whatever she had was killing her slowly… Serna, well, she could probably learn to control her magic eve if she has no training… Although her fate as a female Syndarean with magic… He knew about the sacrifice… And he didn’t dare think further of it. Setna would have to learn about what his sword could do… Tirian, well, he had magic. What kind? That was still to be known. He could produce flame and lightning, but that’s all he could tell for now. It was much more than simple element control.

As he started to try and put thing together with all this, his head started to pound and there was no point continuing to think about it. He would have to let it go until the next day… Well, would try to anyway. Not too far, he could hear the argument going on between the wood elf and he dwarf. Slowly, the story unfolded and Vordan was starting to understand a little more… He would have to remember it the next day, if he could. Then, she fled the scene and he could see that Elrithos was about to follow her.

Elrithos, who had jumped on the horse, looked towards Vordan… He wasn’t sure of what he was saying, but Vordan actually did seem smarter than he looked. And so, with that done, Elrithos got back off, joining the rest of them under the makeshift shelter.

Eventually, seeing that it was a tight squeeze, Elrithos had decided to get out into the rain that would be starting very soon. He didn’t mind the water actually. He was very unlikely to get sick anyway. And so, he brought his things under the closest tree, just to not be too far from everyone. He rested his head on his rolled up ball of clothes and laid down to go into a slumber. This nights events didn’t weight heavy on his conscious, although he was worried for a few of these souls… Some were living things that no human should… Not even elves should live.
