Dunmur looked sideways at Bazglub. It seemed he would fight him right now. "Very well. If this is the way it shall be. However, I request that I may retrieve my axe." Dunmur stood ready to dodge any strike if necessary, although his stance was not an offensive one. Whereas Dunmur truly did believe himself worthy of the axe Morgathar, he was not fool enough to face the wielder with only half of his weapons. Even without the might of the axe himself, any Wielder would have to have endured great trials to reach the Axe, and many must have come before him, making the Wielder a formidable opponent.There's the usual forest sounds of insects and small animals bustling about in the undergrowth. However, you do notice a mark similar to the first one you encountered a bit further along. A trail of marks. This is one of the ways that a trail to a village can be marked, allowing those who know of these marks to find the village. However, you're not sure how well you would be recieved by your kin, seeing how you've already caused the deaths of many by rousing Lord Allen. Kumiho are by nature inquisitive creatures, keeping an ear out for rumors of danger, and there is no doubt they will be fully aware of your involvement in the matter. Unlike the last few chaotic hours of your life, you face a choice now. And it's unclear which choice is the right one."No no no, not Shira." Lurias sighs, shaking his head as he paces. He looks worried and slightly confused. When he eventually speaks again, he's calmed down slightly, making an attempt to explain. "That mark is the Mark of the Forest." He gestures at the mark on your forehead. "It's a legendary thing. I've never seen it in person, only in an old book I inherited from my grandfather. That is the mark that was carried by Warlord Gundar, master of the Horde, more than 800 years ago. You must know the story. The Earth Mother asked a champion to slay a demon, and the orc failed. Because of this, the Earth Mother turned the orc's homeland to a barren wasteland." The elf turns to you, his eyes filled with an odd excitement. "The fact that you carry that mark means you were chosen for some task by the Earth Mother."

Raphion felt the mark on his forehead then said "The mark of the forest. Well that's interesting." He thought about the last bit the man said thinking [i]'That explains the things that she told him.'[/i] Raphion listened to the story that was told to Favnir nodding since it was understandable. He then looked at the man in armor saying "Well as I said I want to join your cause. I can already fight and I'm at your command."
