Sah
After sending Luka home with their captured daisy, Sah had set his sights on the shrine that he'd helped build. He'd yet to see it since Frey had accepted it, and leaving without stopping by would be a shame. Following the path, the windchimes soon became audible, as did the sound of falling water.
One more bend and the shrine was in sight. The flame flickered warmly and the Abandoned smiled softly. The wind, water, air, and earth were tangible within the shrine, and Sah could almost swear that he heard a heartbeat. It was magnificent.
Approaching, he placed a freshly picked bush of berries down and bowed his head. "Frey. Rae. Thank you for continuing to safeguard the flora and fauna of Caido in the face of the rising threat posed by the Family. Thanks to you, our hunters have still been able to find food for their families." With one last nod to the shrine, he made his way back up the path.
Lilly heard the sound first. She shot to her feet just as Sah returned to her side. It was then that the scream reverberated in his ears. Eyes going wide with alarm, the Wild Thunder took off running. That voice was far too familiar, and he cursed under his breath as he pushed his legs to go faster.
Breaking through the trees, he spotted Tal and a bloody knife. Had he been attacked? There was no one else nearby. "What the fuck, Talyson?!" Still cursing, Sah sprinted over and called forth his weakest magic. The mageglass beneath his shirt warmed as healing magic glowed in his hands. Not giving the other man a chance to reach, the Abandoned dropped to a knee and began mending the wound as best as he could.

I think therefore I am,
But what if all I do is bleed?
