Cait's hand involuntarily goes to the hilt of his sword, but he resists the strong urge to draw his blade.
Zhang looks toward Cait's hand, but if he is taken aback or nervous he does not show it.
Yes... I feel it as well. I must admit you are persistant. I am surprised to see that you have survived this far. My horse was crushed by some beast made of stone. I fought him off, but he retreated into some kind of blackened pool or tar pit. Encountering little other resistance of note I continued on this way to find the Beggar King Meng Huo. He is fortified on a hill a few days journey from here. Apparently, he has made arrangements with the demons that inhabit these lands for his protection.
According to the lore of the director-general (which cannot be doubted), there are 5 cursed pools in this valley, and five demons which guard them. I myself have defeated the demon of the black wood (as you saw), although I didn't see any pool. I assume the stone monster was the demon of the earth, and the black pool his home. I haven't encountered any others so far, but I fear that the path to Meng Huo's palace will not be opened until the demons are defeated and their pools cleansed.
This is something that only -I- have the ability to do. In our last encounter I spared you, if only because you serve the emperor (and therefore heaven) as I do.
As for the demon of fire... the barbarians from the west have told me that he cannot be found by those who look. The fiery cloud only appears to those who wait. So I have been staying here for two nights, waiting for the spirit to appear. You may stay and wait with me, as long as we have the understanding that -you- will follow -my- orders. -I- am the most senior servant of the Emperor here, and you must defer to my judgement...

Cait hears a voice in his head:
He is no match for you now that you have me... draw me and let me feast on his blood. He is arrogant... Kill him... Kill him and I will grant you great power....
As Cait hears this Bao frowns, as though he has heard a noise he can't make out...

Cait continues to fight the urges pushed on him by the sword (The raven perfectly overwhelms the vineyard; blocks the touch of the crevice!) and sits on the ground in the warmth of the fire. He casually removes the emerald sword and places it on the ground near him, hoping a small distance will make the voice more distant.
"I can wait tonight with you," says Cait "but then perhaps I will continue on my journey. And if the demon of fire appears I will follow your lead, unless your lead would be to abandon this mission which I am duty bound to continue in. Where was this rock demon you spoke of? I fought a demon of metal within the caves of the ravine that led into this desert."

I understood the elementals were cursed in some way and needing to be freed. Thus far the Water Elemental has been defeated but not destroyed, the wood elemental was cured, the earth elemental was destroyed and the fire elemental has not yet been seen.
Cait answers cautiously, "I retrieved this sword from a pool of water and used it to slay the spirit of metal. It is a powerful sword, but it has a mind of its own I believe."
