the beasts in the forest (open)

[WolfEnchantress]

Damien stopped talking, trying to get muzz to understand. Then he realised how he must have sounded and changed how he was trying to explain things.

"Dont get me wrong, either of you," He said, glancing at Samuel. He hdnt protected Wompy. If anything he had protected them. "These two days have been the best in a while. I love to fight, the rish of battle. Protecting you, or samuel or anyone else, isn't the problem. I dont mind that." He sighed in frusteration at himself.

"is good to have pepole to fight beside, but the people chasing me could kill any one of us...including wompy..in a second flat. I'v only managd to survive because i run like the coward I am." He spat. "I have to be able to just go at a moments notice and not think about anything else or anyone else. I'm fairly safe here..they dont venture here too often, but it is worse in here than it is out there."
He sighed, figuring he was not too good at explaining.

[thedookienut]

"Oh come on. The only coward here is me. Have you seen the way I fight? I was hiding from you two when we first met. Behind a tree!" He sighed, arguing the point as he scrambled to his feet, wincing a little as he did.

He leant against his sword, using it as a crucht. He limped forwards and stared up into the sky, trying to work out the time.

[WolfEnchantress]

Damien turned to Samuel.

"Just because you're afraid doesn't mean i dont enjoy fighting to protect you, but only here in this forest. I dont think i could if I was found, i can hardly protect myself." He smiled. "And i think Wompy enjoyed himself too. Just because you arent a fan of fighting isn't a bad thing at all."

[thedookienut]

"But..." He began, soon giving up. He gave a heavy sigh and closed his eyes. "When we get out, I'll get a room in a tavern and then continue to Varok." He said. He still felt like coward, whatever Damien said.

[WolfEnchantress]

Damien sighed. He wasn't going to get through to Samuel.

"Wompy?" He called. "We're leaving now." He turned to Muzz again.

""You can follow us out, bu i'm sorry, i cant let you come with me. You would be in too much danger, and I dont want you to get hurt."

[wompy]

Wompy shifted and got up "ok but to let you know im follwing you to the end of your life or until whatever is chasing you that you are so afraid of is gone

[Muzz]

Muzz looked crestfallen as she got to her feet to follow the others. "okay," she said miserably to Damien, "but muzz good at running away. could easily help you with that."

[thedookienut]

Noticing everyone was trying to convince Damien they were staying with him, he felt releaved.

"I owe you my life. You've already saved me numerous times and I'd be pleased to return the favour." He smiled, glancing at Wompy and Muzz then back to Damien.

[WolfEnchantress]

Damien walked with the rest, slightly behind Samuel to make sure he could walk okay with his makeshift crutch that was made for him.
He was slightly confused...all his life he had been rather solitary. His dad beat him. His mom was killed. He had gotten used to being alone and rather liked it. Now he had several people who wanted to stay with him and travel with him...and he wasn't sure he could allw them to. But he also was glad for the company.

He trudges along, not really seeing much, so absorbed with his thoughts he nearly tripped several times.

[wompy]

Wompy saw that Damien was falling a lot so he called out "are you alright"

[thedookienut]

"I'm fine." He called back, limping along behind them. He winced as his foot caught against a small rock, knocking his ankle.

"Just how far is it until the end the forest?" He asked, trying not to be slow.

[WolfEnchantress]

Damien glanced up at Samuel as he stumbled over small rock, jarring his ankle.

"Smuel, it shouldn't be too far now. Only about a quarter mile maybe, then we'll be in a small field with a town on the other side."

[thedookienut]

"That's good then...I can't deal with this place any longer.." He sighed, glad they were nearly out. He gave them all a weak smile, covering the fact he could hardly walk without pain speeding through his body like vemon.

[WolfEnchantress]

Finally, the town. As they entered the bistling community, Damien slowed a bit, glaring. People stopped, staring at them. They must have looked rediculous; a tall lizard-like man, a person with a broken leg, a mn with tattered clothing and a nasty gash on his side and a gnoll. All of them, save for Muzz was covered in blood and exhausted looking.

Hesitantly they proceeded through town, though nowhere did they go unnoticed.

"Samuel, there, look. It's a medic's building," He said to Samuel, who looked to be in enormous pain. Probably more than he was letting on.

He loked at Muzz, who was uninjured, and at Wompy. He was also covered in blood, he didnt know if any of it was his.

"Wompy, are you injured?" He asked

[wompy]

wompy looking proudly ahouted nope not a bit, im all healed due to my regenerative llizard powers. chuckling wompy strode off saying "i will catch up in a second i go to do some stuff.
