章 829: Investigating the Whereabouts of the Companions  

"Blood, Smoke, let's go back," Lothur said to his two remaining companions, eager to return and deal with the demon that had nearly killed him.

"But already? Wouldn't it be good if we used a different strategy? The demon will use your women as hostages to lure you out, creator." Blood said as she looked into Lothur's silver eyes.

"Yes, he'll probably do that. But if I don't go after him, he'll use them to force me to go to him. So I have no escape. I have to go back and face the wretch. That's the only way out." Lothur said, worried for his women.

Mentally, he wasn't a hybrid who would be ready to leave everything and everyone behind. Lothur was incapable of leaving his women in the hands of that creature, even though they would probably advise him not to follow them to protect himself.

Blood and Smoke were still learning this. But with Lothur's words, they understood that they couldn't suggest that their creator abandon those four.
