With the hostility crushed they were more prone to listen. Not like they had any choice in the matter. None of them not even in unison had the strength to move against him. They dropped the remainder of their weapons as the confusion spread and whispers began to fill the air. Lucky to have their lives? The woman looked to him, so this was his plan. Force them into submission by rumbling their notions of offense. Clever, it further deepened her respect for him. She stepped forward she would now speak on his behalf.
"What he says is true, three-night ago we were sent into the forest after receiving news that a large motion was going on. We thought it be the wild boars running amuck again so we went to also cull their numbers should that prove the case...but sadly...it was not. We instead encountered a beast that was clearly no native of this forest. One that...one that..."
Just reliving the sound of the blood-curdling howls that creature bellowed that night was enough to send her int a regressive state of shock. But Bora would place his hand on her shoulder. His gaze echoing the same courage it did that night. Whimpers of discontent son reverberated through the crows. That was the best explanation? Some strange creature was the cause?!
I know this sounds like a bunch of bull but I can assure you she speaks the truth. This beast stood just as tall as I, but it was no mere beast. It was once a man, something about that crimson moon triggered him. His power was terrible, in truth I don't even know how I bested such a monstrosity. But I am here and it is not, your lives still belonging to you is proof of my victory. I felt that creatures blood lust, we all did that night. Me this woman and three others from your ilk!
"Are we really to believe this?"
"Well Mara is a trusty worthy woman yet she does not trust easily. If she would defend him there must bare some form of truth"
"Shit I say the varmint stole the tree fruit for emself to tun a profit and the whole lot of them are in cahoots!"
Mara so that was her name. She clenched her fist and took another step forward.
Mara: FOOLS! Did none of you spot the Crimson moon? In all our years in this village not ONCE has such a thing occurred. For several weeks now all types of odd crap have been going on. Did any of you think it strange how the number of boars increased so much in so little time? I saw wildlife flocking to the center of the forest where the great cedar was like no other. That beast was drawn by the moon. A man, elf looking thing took that shit and caused all that destruction. Where are you men who were also there? Elo, Derge, Cain!
From behind the crowd raspy voice cried out
Cain: Th-they arent lyin!
Everyone turned shocked, Cain was soft-spoken, rarely did he involved himself personally in any of the town's affairs short of defending them with his blade when the need arises. But he had a soft spot for Mara and wouldn't let this town peg her to be a liar. Something he knew for a fact she was especially since he saw it for himself.
Cain: I saw it too. Some weird red-headed elf man transformed into that creature. I saw it tear down the great cedar like it was a hollow paper weight.
