Tears well up as he thinks about the past few hours, all he can see are the same events being played over, again and again, Spirits forgive me... I am sure I could have done something different, something better, perhaps then Tane would still be with us. I close my eyes and all I see is that arrow flying straight towards him, it must have killed him instantly, he was probably dead before he hit the ground. The plan had been almost perfect, we had dispatched several of the riders with ease before they had alerted anyone, the enemy forces had been halved without injury to us, For the first time I had started to feel a connection with this group of humans I was with, Tane and I were orking well together, rarely had I met anyone who could move so stealthily and kill so efficiently. Then the fighting broke out, the spirits guided my hands and with a simple web spell I entrapped the two most powerful members of the enemy band (although I did not realise it at the time!). Their channeler was unable to cast spells and was dispatched quite easily as were most of the other members of the band. All except one, the leader Zoidan is one of the most powerful warriors I have come across, his skill with weapons was greater then any of my companions and he fired arrows with great speed and accuracy, he even managed to hold off both of our fighters and it looked for a few minters that my entire group would be slain. Ziodan kept on wounding Jez who seemed unable to penetrate his armour, I kept on healing her, then one of the spirits spoke into my heart, “move away now, your life is in danger!” I looked up into Zoidan’s eyes and realised he was about to change targets and attack me, I moved away quickly and the fight continued, Zana asked for Zoidan’s surrender which he agreed to. All I wanted to do was kill Zoidan where he stood, not only had he slain a comrade (one who was hopefully becoming a friend), but he was a traitor to his own people. It is in the nature of orcs to be evil and follow their god but for a human or elf it is an abomination! It took all my self control not to kill him! I am not sure what to do next, so I ask the spirits to guide me, Zoidan is dangerous and we may not get him safely back to Zana’s superiors. I am also concerned that some orcmen we know may try to free him as they will not believe that he is a traitor, Also Tane has a brother who may wish for vengeance. Spirits please guide me towards the path of peace and wisdom, as all I want is vengeance! Spirits of my ancestors guide Tane home and grant him eternal rest. Apari rises having received no answers and still being troubled, he goes back to his comrades.</blockquote>
