Alamu stood for a long time, silent, thoughtful. "I was so scared that day...I remember now. My aunt wanted me to find you, because she trusted you." She said softly, head bowed. "If we hadn't come out, she might still be alive." Alamu stopped talking, hr ears drooping just a little as she conemplated tha thought.
Averin shook his head of the bad memories. “Ok, it’s time I tell you two about Nailo." Averin looked towards Baal. “Baal, you can come over now."
There was a loud crack from high above and a branch fell down followed by Baal landing in a neat roll rifle in hand. He came to a stand with his rifle and a smile. <span style='color:red'>"You called and I come."</span> He didn't notice he had a leaf stuck on one of his horns. Baalberith stared at Alamu with her ears drooping. <span style='color:red'>"So why so sad then?"</span>
Alamu blinked at Baal and shook her head, forcing a smile. "Do I look sad? Didn't notice." She tried to be convincing, but it didn't work very well. "Um...you have a leaf stuck to your horn." She added as an afterthought, hoping to redirect his attention.
<span style='color:red'>"Damn that always happens. You could say it is an unintentional camouflage"</span> He hurriedly removed the leaf crushing it to dust in his hand. <span style='color:red'>"Well you did, and still do."</span> He took the crystal from his pocket, staring at it for a while wondering if it was important. <span style='color:red'>I thought he was Nailo, just who is this Jerico guy.</span> <span style='color:red'>"So Averin what is wrong with Nailo, what happened and who is Jerico?"</span>
Averin tensed up when Baal said that. “There’s nothing wrong with Nailo…" Averin gazed at both of them with a grave look. “Nailo is dead… The being you see in my brother’s body is Jericho… or also known as Armageddon, the daemon of chaos and destruction and for what happen to Nailo…" Averin looked off to the distance.
Alamu remained quiet, listening to what both of them said while she thought of ways she and her friend could help.
Baal was quite surprised by this, it put Nailo in a whole new light no longer was he something that needed to be imprisoned. He was now a proper enemy something to defeated and killed without mercy. <span style='color:red'>"So how did he die why did Jerico take him?"</span> He didn't notice Averin's distant look as he was too wrapped up in his thinking.
Averin was ready to tell Baal the answer, but a flash of his past came to him. Averin fell to the ground and show no sign of movement.
Alamu jumped forward, catching Averin as he fell. "Averin?" She called softly, carefully bringing him over to a tree and leaning against it. Alamu crouched in front of him, gancing over at Baal with a worried smile. "I think we'll have to wait a while for that answer."
Baal watched Alamu's performance with a mild interest, he hadn't taken into consideration Averin's health merely believing him to be fine. Baal wasn't too worried he wasn't thinking much at all. Something was stirring in Baal but it was not caused by Averin. <span style='color:red'>"Yes we will have to wait, I hope this was due to the fight rather than something more......more sinister at least."</span>
