Ryu stopped in his tracks, biting his lip as he tried to come to a decision. He didn't want to face the wrath from his own kin, but Ryu knew it would be even more despicable if he just left them without warning. Ryu forced himself to move his legs forward, following the trail. Ryu needed to be quick, if there was a chance to avoid more bloodshed. Even though he dreaded coming face to face with the small village, he knew it would be the only one option he could live with.

Following the marks, you find yourself once more in your own clothes. You also feel oddly relieved, as if a debt had been repaid, and something that had been nagging you in the back of your mind simply vanished. This is just in time, of course, for a sentry to spot your transformation from elf to human. The relatively young boy jumps up from the bushes, dagger in hand. He was barely old enough to hunt for himself, let alone to guard the village. Despite the anxiety written all over his face, he stands his ground, pointing the dagger at you. "S- stop! Tell me the password!"
