<How could you do such a thing?!> Bao Sen demanded the moment they set foot outside the temple. <How could you?! Alzoria is one of our own!>

Dan Huun refused to be shaken by his sister’s emotional response and never even broke stride as they started down the main road through Pelle.

<Because Goto is right,> he told her. <Things have become muddled since the invasion.>

<And you think something like this makes them more clear?!> Bao Sen cried in response. <Alzoria...>

<Was trying to lay with a Dark One, Sister,> Dan Huun turned on her and hissed like an angry cobra. Now, finally, his emotions were coming out as his tail whipped back and forth and his ears pointed down at his sister. <That such a thought does not seem to faze you shows just how muddled things have become! They are not our friends! They are not our comrades! They are not fellow Va’Shen! They are the enemy! The greatest enemy we have ever faced! You, Alzoria, many of the other villagers here have all seemed to have forgotten that!>

<They are not the monsters we were told they were,> Bao Sen told him, trying to retain some semblance of calm. <They have done good things for us.>

<Do you know how Ten Sun died?> Dan Huun asked her suddenly. The mention of her youngest brother, barely fifteen when he left for the war, brought Bao Sen up short. <He never even saw the face of the enemy,> Dan Huun continued. <The Dark Ones sent a little flying machine that chased him through the forest like an animal until he was trapped and then gunned him down! Yun Do? He stepped on an explosive trap that shredded him into almost nothing! There wasn’t even enough afterwards for us to bury!>

<I am not saying the war wasn’t bad,> Bao Sen said calmly. <But it is over. By order of the Emperor himself. If I asked Rah-mee-raz about how some of his friends died, I’m sure I would hear very similar things. But he does not cling to his hatred.>

<My hatred kept me alive,> Dan Huun told her, his voice barely above a whisper. <And it will continue to do so.>

<Dan Huun, Bao Sen,>

They both turned at the interruption and found Azarin walking casually toward them.

Dan Huun bowed casually to him. <Blessed day, Azarin,> he said, his voice much friendlier than it was a moment ago.

<And eventful as well,> the former captain returned, offering the siblings a bow of his own.

<Yes,> the Hunter agreed much more sedately. <Is there something you require of us?> he asked.

<No,> Azarin said. <I just wanted to ask after Alzoria and see if she is all right.>

<She is...>

<She will be fine,> Dan Huun told him, interrupting his sister and receiving a dirty look and pointed ears in response.

<If I can help...> Azarin began.

Dan Huun cut him off. <We are thankful, but I am sure she just needs time, prayer and reflection.>

Azarin paused, noting the difference in auras between the two siblings.
