Maria frowned deeply, listening to Shadow as he spoke. She knew how his heart yearned for revenge... But her? No, she didn’t yearn for revenge at all. But she did want to help Shadow...

She closed her eyes, thinking long and hard before she dared to answer.

“I don’t think you took the lives of the innocent.” Sure she couldn’t know that for sure, but Maria was placing faith in Shadow. Sometimes you just had to put yourself out there and hope for the best. The female looked Shadow dead in the eyes, her voice serious as she spoke once more. “I wouldn’t take the life of an innocent either. But if what you claim is true than this man is.” Maria flicked her ears back.

“If one kills, they will kill again. My father told me this. But we can choose if it is good or evil we kill. Those who hurt others or the innocent. If I’m going to have to kill someone someday then let it be the wicked. I want to help, Shadow. But...” She frowned. “I’m not sure if the herb I need will be in season anymore.
