I would follow him anywheres even to death. Yet even now I find it hard to let him go off to what I know will be sudden death. Cree couldn't tell herself that she hated him for what he did. Yet she couldn't even tell herself that it was going to end well. Since when did she actually have the mind to tell herself that she didnt' know what she wanted. "Fainu, please don't go away. I have a bad feeling that you fighting will only bring you a quicker and more painful death." Cree noticed that she no longer had any tears to shed. After all she didn't shed them for Fainu, it was for her friend Manstarmin.
Deep down inside Cree didn't know what she wanted anymore. "Fainu don't go away again. Please just stay here with me. Perhaps we can go up north. Still not now. I fear for the sake of your own soul." To her that was the breaking point. She couldn't stand it anymore. Standing up suddenly Cree ran out of the inn and headed to the stables. She knew the horse she acquired on her journeys would be there. Walking over to her horse with tears rolling down her cheek, Cree tried to hide herself in the stables with her horse. She thought she heard someone, "Go away!" Looking up she saw the only face that ever brought her comfort.
"Well, if you wish it so." With a blow of the wind her father was gone. The figure she thought was her father was instead Fainu. Still not recognizing that it was him, Cree ran over to "her father". To her she didn't want to loose him again. She felt a hand on her cheek. Looking up she realized that instead it was Fainu.
