Lucian thought about it, accepting the fact that he was beyond what men should experience. So much of his flesh was damaged from the fights that he should take the weeks it would be to heal and recuperate. And even if she could shrink it down to just a day, there were those that still relied on him.
“No, we need to move forward.” Lucian told her as he stood tall to try and mask the injuries he had, “We are to march towards the Temple of the Lizardmen, their sanctuary in these lands. That is why I am here and where I hope to meet with the allies that I have lost.”
“How would they knew where the Temple of Kontuata would be?” She asked with a great amount of skepticism.
Lucian raised his hand towards the giant that was Bok, “That one had a Master known as Tee-Nee-Tyny. He is a Skink, a member of their race. He was my guide until we were separated in a ship-wreck.”
“So you say…” She studied Lucian with what must have been deep thoughts of skepticism. If she was looking for a lie in those words Lucian was not going to satisfy her quest to prove that he was a fraud. He was simply too tired to give a care on that matter anyways, and she would have to prove it to herself.
“Very well, but know that I cannot bring you to full health while we are on the road.” She told Lucian as her eyes once again studied his injuries, “Lileath has sent me on this mission, but she did not send me to die on your behalf.”
“That…” Lucian felt a tinge of pain course his body as he spoke, “is okay. Do as you will, I do not bind you to defending me. I only need a guide from someone like yourself.”
“And I will give it.” She said while tapping her long staff on the flesh of Grimidal. Lucian noticed that the staff was a rather long one that had at the tip a crescent moon tilted into something of a smile.
“It is my dishonor and weariness that I yet asked you, what is your name?” Lucian finally asked.
“Sellalli of the Moonlit Path.” She spoke with what Lucian swore was a slight glow to her ivory skin, “Come, if you are so begging to face death you shall not dally.”
