Nura clasped the stranger's legs in shaking hands. Her whole body was shaking, almost uncontrolably as she looked back at Rogar's body. After all of his harassment, Nura could not believe that he was really dead and had to keep looking back to be sure he was still dead, not following them. When she could not longer see the corpse, Nura turned to where they were headed. She knew not where, but Nuhrive seemed to and Nura trusted her new friend's judgement.
Memories of what had happened filled her mind and she looked down at the odd fellow who might die because he helped saved her life. He did not even know her name. Guilt filled her and Nura made sure she handled him carefully and was careful not to not let her trembling knees colasp. She saw a body of her kin and sighed. Nura knew her brother was dead. It was possible for him to have survived the arrow in his back if it was seen to quickly but she knew Blair lay just where she had left him and there was nothing to stop her now from a new life.
"Thank you" she said to Nuhrive, fighting the tears threating to blur her vision.
