"I'm...fine. Thank you. I...do not know what came over me back there. I'm...sorry." Came his soft reply to David.

Yakeru had walked silently beside him ever since they had gotten out the tower. He felt ashamed, thinking that he had been a liability to the rest of them. He had acted all brave but when he faced both women, his body had refused to listen to his mind. Granted, his mind had been set on other things but fighting so perhaps it had been for the best. If David had not pulled him out of it, who knows what could have happened. If this would happen again in the future, it could spell doom for all of them.

Though he also felt glad that the feeling he had when he was eye to eye with the hooded lady, was fading with every step they took away from her. Unbeknownst to him, it kept lingering somewhere deep in the core of his soul and quietly he agreed with David.

[I]Yes, there was certainly something about her[/i]

The city was burning all around them with bodies littering the streets and the now ruined houses or buildings. Goblin patrols let them pass and Yakeru could see that the bodies were collected on carts to be brought outside the walls and thrown on big piles. Had they been the only survivors of this onslaught? And why? Why had she spared them? These questions moved around in his mind until they had reached the outer gate. Where the odd kinda wizard, introduced himself and invited them over to his house. He was tired and getting hungry, as if he had not slept in days and had not eaten for much longer than that. It drowned out the other depressing feelings he had a few minutes ago and a smile formed on his face again. Then, he realized he had not introduced himself yet to anyone. 

"I am..." He wanted to say 'Miyazaki Hakaru' as a force of habit but he stopped himself just in time. That person was dead. "...Yakeru. We were lucky that you woke us up mr. Avant." He bowed his head in greeting. 

Than he raised his head again, cocked an eyebrow, seemingly being how he had been before the thing had happened with the Witch.

"Hm questions? Oh good. I think we have plenty of questions for you. For example, where are we exactly, how did we get here and above all why did we really get here?"
