Complications

[Gwydion Nefarine]

The man in front of Cambion seemed seechless. Apparently, he had not expected his targets to be druidoks. After recovering from his initial shock, he spoke, "I don't know who he was. I just do what my commander tells us to do." Cambion searched him for a moment. "He's telling the truth." The man seemed relieved, though his relief was short-lived. "Kill him." The man didn't even have time to scream before Eilonway had put an arrow in his head. The druidok that was staying with the prisoner didn't flinch. Eilonway understood that it was important for no one to live, and Cambion appreciated that.

An eagle flew towards them and promptly turned into a human. He was one of the higher ranked messengers. Must be important, Cambion thought. The druidok guard went back to the city, knowing this was none of his business. "Sir, the target is in Raoro now, at the castle. Plans have been changed." The two druidoks' eyes grew wide. He would be much harder to kill at the castle. This would call for an all-out battle, the first real one for the rebellion.

((ok I have permission to god mode so I'm going to, but if you have anything to add, Willow, feel free to do so.))

Janemba glanced at Jess and noticed that she had heard what the man had said. he was absolutely frightened. Something was wrong. "Me lass. Don't try to hide the fact that something's botherin' ya. I can tell. It'll be easier for you after you let it out." Jess dropped one of the bandaged on the floor. Her hands were shaking. "I... I... I just need some fresh air." She ran out of the building. Janemba decided that she wouldn't tell him right. "Just need to give the lass some time," he said to himself.

Cronus saw the girl run out. He softly patted the shoulder of a man whose wounds he had just dressed and followed her at a much slower pace. When he came outside, he saw the girl crying softly. "What is wrong, my girl?"She kept crying. Cronus knelt beside her and put a hand on her shoulder. "My name is Cronus. What's yours if you don't mind me asking?" After a while, Jess stopped crying and hugged Cronus fiercely, though she didn't really know him. He seemed to her like someone she could talk to. Cronus, a little shocked, hugged back.

Jess realized that she normally would not have done something like this, but the circumstances were different now. Things had gone from bad to worse to worst. Finally, she withdrew herself from Cronus. "I'm... sorry." Cronus shrugged. "Don't be." Jess looked at him with hope. Could she actually trust this man though. She had always trusted her parents, but they turned against her. Then, she had trusted Cambion, but she didn't know if she could now. Was he a druidok? This might be her chance to get some answers. She decided to trust this man.

"My name's Jess." Cronus nodded. "Nice to meet you." Jess started right away. "Mister.....-" "Just call me Cronus." Jess went on. "I overheard you talking about druidoks in there. Aren't druidoks... evil?" Cronus looked at her quizzically. "Well, druidoks are like humans. Some are good and some are bad. Why do you ask?" Jess ignored the question. "Well, the druidok rebel leader you were talking about. What is he in trouble for?" Cronus let a quick moment pass, in which he thought about why a girl so young could be asking such questions. "He and his rebellion are fighting against the Empire. They've killed hundreds. They need to be brought to justice." He decided it was best not to add that there was also a sizeable reward, but that was not the main reason in his choosing to pursue the rebel.

Jess became aware that she had stopped breathing. No. No. Cambion can't be in this rebellion. He's not like that. He would have killed me already if he was. And Eilonway probably isn't either. Jess kept trying to reassure herself, but something kept telling her that she was wrong. She noticed that several moments had gone by. She got an idea. "Uh... Mist...- uh, Cronus. Would you recognize him if you saw him. Cronus slowly shook his head. "No, I'm not sure what he looks like. I only know he exists. I'm trying to track the rebellion down, but I'm not having much luck. Do you... do you know something you're not telling me, Jess?" Jess sat against the wall of the building being used for a healing house. "I just need time to think. But thank you for answering my questions." Cronus nodded. "I'll be in here if you need me." He motioned towards the structure and then walked in.
