As they headed back towards the forest Cade considered the situation that they were now in, sure it would be harder to find allies with such a bounty out for humans but he did not believe it impossible. There were still Avalians out there who had the strength to stand against the lich and his forces and they would just have to find them. The thought of abandoning Ayita to whatever fate would find her was not one he was willing to consider.

[color=gold]“If you wish for me to leave, I will, but helping you is not a burden. Many things I do are likely to get me killed, that doesn’t bother me, seeing Avalia descend further into darkness scares me more. The Lich’s power is…”[/color] Cade paused as he tried to think of a word that could encapsulate the unnatural and abhorrent evil that was necromancy but failed to really think of one. [color=gold]“more than just evil. He not only cheats his own natural death but he rips creatures away from their final rest, forcing the dead to serve him and to fight his battles. It goes against nature and the longer it goes on, the deeper it wounds Avalia. This is my home and I can’t help but think that although it may have been the Elves who did the magic, it was Avalia herself that called you here. Avalia needs to regain balance and rid herself of the lich. And I feel called to help with that. So, whether I’m helping you, or someone else, I’m going to be spending my remaining time looking for danger. My family is gone, I am the last of my clan, all I have left to live for is Avalia, my home.”[/color] 

While Cade was more than willing to die for his home, he realized that this was not Ayita’s home. He had been more focused on what Avalia needed that he had neglected to even ask if she wanted to be a part of this. He wasn’t even sure if the elves would be able to send a human back even if they could ask them. If they could send her back he doubted further that it could be done now that Aklenroth was aware of the DROM’s being used. [color=gold]“As much as I want to help Avalia, this is not your home. I will also do what I can to help you get home, if you wish, but I think that will not be possible right now, we can always try though, seek out some elves in the forests.”[/color] Cade suggested. He tried to sound like he knew what to do next, but with the Sun Elf Village off the table he wasn’t very sure what would be the right next move. Cade wasn’t used to thinking ahead and it was truly exhausting. He was thankful to be back in the forest both for cover and because when it came to a hunt he could rely on his instincts. No strategizing just him doing what came natural to a cat, searching for prey and listening to his instinct and muscle memory to then take his prey down. He knew they both needed to eat and solving that problem was much easier to tackle than the rest of their troubles. [color=gold]“For now, at least, we should find food. What do humans normally eat?”[/color]
