"Though I'll need your help."
Kleela pulled back from Jorghan and turned to her brother with an expression that mixed childish enthusiasm with surprising authority.
"Jorghan is really strong, Pecah! You should see what he can do! He can make blood do anything, and he can control plants. He'll kill all the Scavenetores and save everyone!"
Pecah looked skeptical despite his relief.
"I appreciate the confidence, sister, but the Scavenetores are numerous, well-armed, and experienced at hunting beings more powerful than individual warriors. One person, however capable, can't eliminate an entire hunting organization."
"Then we'll find out if one person backed by a motivated clan can," Jorghan replied.
"Where do we start? Where are the nearest confirmed Scavenetore operations?"
Pecah was quiet for a moment, clearly torn between hope and learned caution about trusting strangers.
Finally, he made his decision.
