When Viper carried the wounded man to us, I had to grab Wolfy by the scruff of one of his necks to keep him from attacking to protect 'his' Kiya. I petted him on the back of his head and told him to 'guard' her and not attack. I quickly tied the visitors hands and motioned Hypatia over.

"Hypatia, do you think you can heal him?" She nodded and cast her spell quickly and efficiently on the man. I saw color reappearing in his cheeks and his eyelids started to flutter as he started waking up.

I placed my knee in a vulnerable part of his anatomy, being careful not to place too much weight on him yet. I pulled out my knife and placed it against his throat. I looked at Luc and said, "If he doesn't understand me will you ask him why he has that poster with our pictures on it? I don't want kill him, if I don't have to."

"Kiya, would you look in your mirror and see what it says about him?" She immediatel pulled out the mirror, peering at an assortment of dots.

She looked at me with a confused expression on her face and said, "The mirror is making him red and green. It's like it can't decide if he's our enemy or not!"
