The changeling, his assassin's disguise abandoned, meets Alexia's eyes.
"Save a child? Yes. Someone needs to be saved."
"They came to our village. I don't know how they found us..."
He looks around at his fallen comrades.
"We come from the village of Lost. In Droaam. Our village is special. It blends into the background. It moves us to safer places without us knowing we needed to move. Outsiders can't find us. But they did."
Tears flow freely from his eyes and the changeling keeps talking.
"They came with what seemed like an army of gnolls and ogres. They killed our chieftain. They started killing our children until we agreed to send our best hunters with them. They said they needed us to kill people. As insurance, they took the rest of our children with them."
He pauses, "And now there is no hope for them. We failed. We doomed our whole village."
