Unknown Danger

The stranger kept a polite silence, and Naiche was quick to give an explanation. It was clear the stranger had respected the borders, despite his close proximity to them. That respect was why the wolf would be allowed to leave with their freedom today. The aid he gave Naiche, his newest recruit, was why he would do so with Seer’s thanks.

Naiche admitted that he was unable to get in a bite. “We’ll practice on my companion, later” he promised Naiche. The small bear that had chosen to follow the Warlord would be a good starting point for Naiche. Bears had been a problem in the past, and it would be good for him to learn how to face it. That he had stood his ground with this bear, not allowing it into the territory or to leave the stranger alone, spoke of bravery.

The Warlord turned now to the stranger, and nodded his head. “Your respect and bravery are greatly appreciated.” that he had inevitably led the bear here could be left alone. It had not been an act of war. “Thank you. If you would like a bite to eat and a moment to find your breath, you may find it here.”
