Garen felt relieved when Ali told him that she would be okay, but a part of him knew that she would never really be fine again. A wound such as hers needed more then mortal magic to heal. If he had the power to help her through the curse, he would, but Garen was no wizard. He mistrusted magic, just like the other man had said earlier, and it was always beyond him. When Feon began to talk, he moved to stand next to Alionna, then faced the monk girl. What she said was almost a crime, and could have saved a lot of pointless bickering he was sure, if she had just told them the rest about the statue. All of it seemed underwhelming now, with the downside of it having a cap for a year there wasn't a lot to worry about besides who would abuse the power during that time. It might be a threat after Sven is destroyed, but Garen didn't see that happening for awhile. There was no guarantee that any of them would even survive. After Feon walked over to them, he listened to the two women talk to each other. Alionna's concerns were justified to be sure, and he was inclined to agree with her about destroying the statue. Perhaps if they survive everything, one day they could but not now. He would have told her that he never say any indication that Sven had the potential for necromancy, but he let her finish her thoughts. Feon then interjected, restating what she knew about the statue and that the knowledge would disappear after a years time. He could tell she was growing agitated, with her remark about leaving. He spoke up finally, [color=green]"Now listen here, I think you need all the help you can get, so telling her to leave would not be in your interest. Her concerns are what many of us 'moral' folk are also thinking. You make a fair point however, Feon, the statue is needed right now to face an even greater threat. So let's put aside our differences and come up with a game plan. We're already wasting time."[/color] Garen was then forced to watch that bitch of a demon bait a bear into being killed for the sacrifice. He always liked bears, seing one killed wasn't something he enjoyed watching.
