And All Things Will End

You look at Aela and nod your head. Smiling grimly, she backs away from the impenetrable depths and moves toward your side. Hunter's eyes go wide.

"Please, no. You have to listen to me! You have to! This is the only way! Together we can..." He pleads, begging you to rethink your decision. His voice cracks with sadness, and moisture causes his eyes to glimmer in the dim light, Rarely have you seen a man behave so broken, yet you remain unmoved by his pleas. Aela turns around, pulling your am lightly. You follow. As you walk away Hunter sighs and whispers a single word that you hear but cannot discern the meaning of.

You look back at Hunter and find him crumpled upon the ground, kneeling. His cloak is pulled around him, and he appears to be praying. His torch lays beside him, sputtering quietly and providing a small circle of light.Guttural howls can be heard from the dark.

After a few paces you turn and look at him once more. He has not moved. The circle seems to be getting smaller.

Aela does not turn around, holding her torch high.
