Having taken the time to see Maria and Lit, the elves now had a lot to think about. That didn't change the fact that the first prisoner had gotten there though. The guards that had brought him in were clearly worried. They had been told that they needed to take the utmost care bringing this prisoner.
Not because they were dangerous, but because they could become a monster if they were treated poorly. They guards were shocked to hear this since some of the crazed antics when these prisoners had been running head first in to the walls of the city, had definitely put them at risk. But this also made them realize that those odd behaviors might have had a reason.
There was also a group of the elven healers that had begun to believe that this was too risky. They could be right in the line of attack for a monster forming if they were to go through with this. Noticing this, the matriarch looked at those healers.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
