Suho studied the sword handle carefully.

"Huh."

"That's it? That's all you have to say about finding yet another stone? This must mean something!" Xiumin said eagerly.

"I'm sorry, but what would you like me to say?"

He handed Xiumin back the weapon and turned around slowly.

"Suho, something very strange is happening. Despite the fact that you don't want to help the villagers, shouldn't we at least speak about this? All of us, together?"

"I have no intention of helping the village."

"I know, you've said that. But this isn't just about them anymore! Cholerny had a whole group of well trained men fall in battle with the ghouls. Only two of them survived, and just barely. They were warriors, Suho."

He put his hand on the leader's shoulder, forcing him to look him to turn around.

"When they destroy the village, and at this rate they surely will, who do you think they will come looking for next?"
