"I don't want to sit down and live a boring life. I'll go, but I'm leaving afterwards." She tries to smile despite the circumstances"And it's your decision, I'm glad you'll be with us anyways. It will be a good trip, the towers are huge, the biggest in-" an arrow thunks against a nearby tree and she quickly grabs her bow, knocks an arrow and aims in the direction of the arrow. Two men wearing furs and wielding axes run out from the tree line, in the same direction Rex was, Merrissa looses an arrow and hits the first in the throat. He drops to the ground the other charges Lelia and swings sideways towards her gut. She jumps backward, drawing her sword and swinging toward his throat.

His swing misses, and her blade connects with his throat, blood sprays from the cut, and the man drops his axe and grasps his throat, before succumbing to his wounds and slumping to the ground. Merrissa nocks another arrow and looses it towards the middle of a tree. A few seconds later, a man clad in furs and a bow falls out into the dirt, breaking his neck on landing. At the start of the fight, Lelia saw Burke run past the bandits to assist Rex.

She goes back to the clearing in the forest and sees at least half a dozen mutilated corpses. A lone corpse untouched by blood lies underneath a tree, covered with a blanket, she assumes that to be Dickon, a small hole had been started to be dug next to him. In the middle of the clearing, Burke sits silently on his knees, covered in blood, cradling Rex's corpse in his arms. Next to him is a cracked shovel, caked in blood and gore.

"It seems we can't go an hour without death. I'm sorry, the two of you seemed close." The big man looks up and nods. Lelia hears footsteps behind Burke, and Burke gently sets Rex down and picks the shovel back up. He turns around to meet a bandit armed with a longsword. The bandit swings an overhead, but Burke absorbs it with the handle of the shovel. He strikes the man in the face with the head of the shovel, knocking him into the dirt. He begins beating the man with the head of the shovel. After a while, the man's face is unrecognizable as a human head, one might confuse it for a crushed watermelon. Burke throws the shovel down and calmly walks back to camp.

He nods yet again, they enter the camp and see that Merrissa put out the fire, her and Maddie are packing up the camp, "Rex?" she asks, and looks at Burke, "I- I see...." she says sadly, "We need to get out of here, we don't have time to bury them. I'm so sorry." she says to Burke and Lelia, "Lelia can you pack up that bedroll?" she says pointing to the bedroll Lelia slept in.

Rex's daughter begins sobbing uncontrollably, and Burke picks her up and consoles her. With the camp all packed up Merrissa waves them towards the road, "Let's get out of here." and they leave the camp. After a day and a half of travel, they come across a flat piece of land next to a river, "We should be pretty safe here, let's rest here a few hours, we can try to fish a bit, and filter out some water." she says, "Maddie and I will set up a camp, and I'll get some fishing traps ready, do you want to go check around for any game?" she asks Lelia, "You can borrow my bow."

"I'm not really a good shot to be honest." "Which means you could use the practice," she says, "Burke will go with you in case you need help. Right Burke?" she says, he nods in response, "There's deer out here usually." he says quietly.

"I'd rather use knives." she grumbles. Taking the bow and quiver, walking into the forest. Merrissa laughs at that, and Burke follows her into the forest. They slowly lurk around for about an hour when Burke points to a bush and says, "These berries will do nicely. You go on ahead, I'll catch up." she searches for about ten more minutes until she comes across a deer grazing in a clearing. It hasn't noticed her yet.

She brings out an arrow and puts it on the bowstring. Pulling the arrow back with an inhale of breath, aiming for the torso of the deer. She lets the arrow loose with an exhale.
