It didn't take long for Jack to make his way back to the Centaur Village after dying. Luckily for him, his corruption resistance was rather high.

Considering the bomb-level news that Jack had just dropped on him, such a reaction was natural. First, there was the whole "orders" thing, and then the missing young Centaur. 

"He's stuck there?! Why the hell would you bring him there?!" Amidst the Centaur's rage, there was sorrow and despair. 

"Because he wanted to save you all." Jack calmly retorted. 

"That's no reason to—"

"It was worth it to him. He might be young, but he has the mettle of a Hero. You've seen the orders. They're planning a mass invasion of this realm; cowering away won't do any good."
