You watch as the flames flicker in the fire. The village bustles with activity around you, the village elder is sent for, and one of the men takes your horse to the stable. The children play running and chasing one another around, while their mothers watch. They are practically hovering over the children, but with an eye darting towards the edge of the forest you guess that the shadow creatures have returned.
The elder waves a little uncertainly, he is happy to see you but less so that he had to call you.
"Sit down, Joshua." you indicate another wooden stool by the fire. He looks disappointed and surprised.
"Are there more coming?" he asks uncertainly, his voice is firm. However he doesn't want to offend you. His hands are restless in his lap.
"I can call for reinforcements if that is needed." you assure him.
One woman offers you a tankard of tea, before offering the other to Joshua. Politely you thank her, but keep your attention on Joshua. He is glad to keep his hands occupied.
"Please take your time, start at the beginning and tell me every detail." You smile confidently and lean forward to listen intently.
His voice is a little whispery, and you want to ask him to speak up but you don't want to interrupt him.
