Sequoia Coast The Journey of the Lost

"Good, so you do plan on following me, huh?"

She had to. She had no where else to go. No one else to turn to. Besides Azarartha, she was alone. Raven felt him get closer and closer to her delicate scruff with his words , in that moment, she was too terrified to move. If she would have made the choice to get up and run, she would have either gone into the jaws of another wolf, or his, as he cut her down. It is not as if she had any other wolf to run to, anyway.
"I do." She answered with truth. Then he spoke words that made her mute.

"Are you afraid of me, Hrafn?""What is your opinion on me, Raven? A sadistic little boy? An evil viking?Tell me...."

The chill of his breath on her neck caused her panic, and in result she stayed silent, and shook her dark crown. Biting her tongue, stayed silent, Raven did all.

"Why did you follow me, when you probably knew I would just kill you."

Raven closed her orbs, and prayed. She did not know what moon it was, and Azarartha forbid it was the Luna der Xaxis, because that would make this go from bad to worse. It was still a few hours from sundown, so Raven could not see the moon until then. So until then, she had to think on her own.
"You are not like Ragnar...for you see reason. I know not of your customs, or beliefs, but everywolf has a heart. Whether it be broken, scarred, shredded, or grinded...Einparto secun harva sinthos. Everyone deserves forgiveness. So I forgave you. Because I see you as a wolf who has a heart. "

Plus, if she was not dead yet, she had hope she would be murdered any later. She had already given him her word. However, he kept murmuring in her ear, and a tiny whimper passed her maw at his consistent dangerous words.

"You do not fear me as much as you fear Ragnar do you? Why? Am I not intimidating enough for you?"
"Are you afraid of death? Answer me!"

At the sudden outburst, her heart almost flew up to her throat. But after getting her thoughts back, along with her reasoning, she spoke softly.
"If you are death, then I will fear you, for I have much to do before I pass into the next life. Yet, I see you as my Jarl...so instead, I give you my respect, and duties to serve you."
