The wolf whined and anxiously looked around, terrified of what was going on.

"Every cell", instructed Falana, almost as if she had read Nyx's mind. "If these people were locked up, it means that they are no friends of the Emperor's People."

Somewhere in the distance a huge building collapsed and Falana swallowed hard as she saw a tower beyond the rooftops come crashing down and out of sight, almost as if it had drowned. A gigantic cloud of smoke and dust followed.

"Let's get this done faster!"

Evelyne slammed the lock of every cell door she could find open, giving the prisoners no other explanation than to run for the closest exit, but to avoid the Wolf Beast's rampage. When she reached the final cell on her end, she found herself facing the Nord healer standing in the middle of street, observing her with a mix of surprise and shock.

He didn't have to be a genius to realise that this attack was the doing of her kin.

Evelyne strode up to him and grasped him by the collar. "You", she spat. "I don't care whether you are a healer or not. I don't care if you have so much as raised a hand or not against the Outsiders the Emperor's People have captured during the years. In my eyes, you are just as bad as the rest of them by serving them."

"Please", said the Nord as he felt her grip tighten. "Have mercy."

Evelyne scoffed. "Mercy? I am not a killer unlike these people you are sworn to. I don't care if you did it for survival. Supporting these people are wrong, no matter your excuse. You can die with them for all I care."

Evelyne then slowly released the Nord from her grip. "But I don't want to stoop to their level. For the sake of my unborn child, I will let you live, Nord", she said. "You will live on for the sake of one single purpose."

"W-What is that?" he asked, seemingly concerned.

Evelyne nodded in the direction the recently escaped prisoners were moving. "For their sake", she said. "You will guide them. You will treat them. You will find them a new home. Safely behind city walls, deep into the Wilderness. I don't care which. But you will do it, you hear? If you don't, then I wish the Gods will curse every breath you take from herenow on."

The Nord swallowed hard, but nodded shortly. "I... I will!" he said. "I will lead them. I will find them somewhere safe, I swear it."

"Good", said Evelyne. "Now, get out of my sight. Start anew, and may I never see you working for filth like these people ever again."

"Never", he confirmed. "You have my word."

And with that said the Nord healer ran after the escaped prisoners. She did not know what the future held in store for them, but she wished of her heart's desire that there could be some change for mankind. He would find these people a new home, repent and then live out the rest of his life safely somewhere.

I have to believe it can be done, she reflected and clutched her hand to her stomach. Don't you, my little one?
