After their encounter in Blackscale Grove, Alera followed Pyris through the twisted paths, away from the Grove's dark influence. She followed quietly, her steps slow and tentative, still shaken from the betrayal and the battle that had almost cost her life.
As they walked Pyris couldn't take it anymore; he asked why she was following him only for her to express her wish to stay with him, she had no home and going back to the guild would only cause trouble, how will she explain the sudden disappearance of her party member?
After a long discussion for another five minutes he let her be, he would take care of her, train her, give her everything she needed to grow.
She had potential!
Pyris didn't say much as they walked. He didn't need to. His decision had already been made, and he wasn't the kind to explain himself.
