Gandalf sighed and said "a shifter...nothing to worry about now.." 

Serena was panting, holding her side as she muttered "I was trying to give you time...what is one life to save the lives of many..." Gandalf frowned and said "so that's what you have in your mind...trying to get yourself killed on this quest?" Serena looked up at him and said "why would you think that?" Gandalf looked at her and said "everything you e done has been to help the company...but you forget your own life...why?" Serena got up shakily and said "because how can I ask for aid if I don't risk myself first!" 

Bane cursed suddenly and said "your still on this?! Those creatures are not your fault! They never were. And neither was my village being lost to them" Serena turned to him and said "if I had been there sooner, you would still have a home, a family, a life! But I failed and your cursed, stuck between man and beast...and now I can help them get their home back and I...I..." She lowered her head, fighting back tears. Bane sighed and shook his head. Gandalf said "you don't want anyone else to lose what you have lost...so you are willing to die to protect them..."
