Blaming him solely would make him a scapegoat. It's understandable how your kind feels. There are many problems and the only issue is that Aklenroth needs to either start listening and start sharing his power to make decisions with others, or we need to make him leave his throne and have those more capable and not bias toward treating any race better than another."[/color]Malachi spoke to Valok, sharing his thoughts on his statements. He enjoyed his unbiased and intelligent philosophy, finding him comfortable speak to. However, before they could continue their conversation, dreadful noises filled the air. He turned around, stringing his bow with an arrow as a large owlbear stood up on his hind legs. Mathis spoke first, urging them all to stay close, then inquired of his plan. His gaze fixated on the staff as it turned to a scythe. He pushed his thoughts about that into the back of his mind. [color=0072bc]"Yes-"[/color] He lowly began to speak, intent on rapidly giving them orders but Belladonna spoke to the bear, challenging it with a stupid phrase as if it could understand her. His eyes traveled to her reluctantly when the sound of water moving reached his ears. [color=0072bc][i]Oh you've got to be kidding me you dimwitted little... Do you have any idea what you have just done?[/i][/color] He thought, but said nothing aloud. He watched the droplets of water stretch into shields with a look of pure irritation. With full intent on Belladonna seeing his expression, his head to glare at her as if knives would shoot out of his eyes. It wasn't often too strong a feeling arose, but he felt it rising. The girl started talking to the bear again and he almost threw his arms up in the air when she threw rocks at it. He grumbled under his breath a few curses before shaking his head. He fired a light imbued arrow and aimed to shoot another one rapidly after, [color=0072bc]"Belladonna stay back and continue the shielding. I shall keep it busy. Mathis, use that thing and hit it while it's distracted by me. Valok, attack it too. Then, Myra, keep on the lookout in case this vile beast has brought its friends."[/color]
