You and your brother land in your usual spot in the forest, a cozy little clearing on the west side of the forest. There's a log there that usually has the fattest, tastiest grubs in the whole wood. Much to your surprise, you see two raven-haired humans, a young male, and a young female.
"Mighty Akvon, please hear my prayers!" The young woman speaks as if someone else hears her. "Have mercy on my brother's soul and send us your aid!" Tears are in her eyes, and her brother lays on the dew-moistened grass and clutches his belly in agony. A couple of poisonous mushrooms lay beside him. It seems the poor lad has eaten some of them.
Your brother looks at you, worried. He's always a sucker for creatures in pain. Usually, if this were a small wounded beast, you or he would deliver a killing blow as a act of mercy. This is different. You've never been so close to another human since you were abandoned.
>The young man is poisoned. There are joybell flowers just a ways off that can cure him.>Transform back into your usual self so you can speak to the humans (Write in what you ask or say).>Deliver a mercy blow to the boy to end his suffering.
