"Chief, where are you going? Let me come with you," Marcella's voice called out as Vardan was about to leave the tribe. He turned to face her, his disguised appearance concealing his true identity as a soul eater.
"No, I need to do this alone," Vardan's response was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
"But Chief..." Marcella's concern was evident in her voice. She didn't want her leader to venture outside the tribe on his own, especially after the recent battle with the undead army.
"You must attend to the burials of those who fell in the war against the undead," Vardan instructed.
He began to walk away, leaving Marcella with no choice but to watch him depart.
"Do not follow me, Marcella. I need some time alone," Vardan's words echoed through the desolate surroundings.
