Otter Creek You will kill or be killed, it's about progress

sooo sorry for the wait. last post from me. i'll leave you to end or archive 

Vaati looks back to the other, briefly. "My name is Vaati Melonii." Before returning his gaze to the mainland, the heart of the dark forest. He doesn't ask for the others -- assuming it will come up in a later conversation. For now, he will advise the other on the dangers of the dark woods, the physical and the political. The fact that they take prisoners, and many never leave. That if one abandons the woods, they are subject to immediate death; unforgiving and unmerciful. That no one cons the woods where killers dwell, that they are the judgment hand of life and death -- all are expected to play that role. He assures the other that if he can keep up with the demands of the shadows, he will do just fine. Kill or be killed, one could even say.
