Witch's Hut (Eligos)

Eligos didn't notice the goings-on in the hut as he turned away, but a very nice squirrel neatly solved Cypher's dilemma of where to hide the contraband meat with a tiny pouch. "Thanks little buddy," the malinois whispered, patting the squirrel happily before racing off after Eli. Eligos had stopped at the shore of another body of water and was studying it with a frown. He wouldn't- couldn't - bring himself to stay long before continuing on the path he had chosen, but he took a moment to wade into the water and dip himself beneath the surface to cool off. He had been on the move for a long time in the summer heat, with black fur and leather armor, and it would do him good, maybe. Besides, with the weird glow, maybe he would get lucky and he would be turned into a newt. Life as a newt would surely be easier and less emotionally scarring.
