Lubei
Glances like that annoyed him. But preventing a calamity, in that they were of the same mind.
"When I found myself in this realm, I suspected that wretched forest instantly." Lubei crossed his arms, beggining his tale in aspiration of the same clear tone that his teacher in warfare of another life employed. "There I met the creature called Uria. I couldn't know whether she was faerie or a half-divine accident, but she seemed to understand the purpose of the area. And as she was unwiling to share or show until being humored, I decided to accompany her."
He paused and inhaled harshly. The prior visit to this territory was not necessary to mention. He forgoed mentioning it, or the retreat that followed his pitiful display.
"The ruins - slums - on the other side of the river, have you seen the sickness on display there? We wandered into that, and I neglected to watch her every move. She intended to help, and as a result, hundreds of dying and withering humans", he dragged out the word with a trace of hesitation, "were... changed."
Changed into unrecognizable spawn, into beings that Lubei could find no obvious fault in, but also no sense of belonging in nature, no sense of comfort. A kind of help that none of them had asked for, none of them had the chance to refuse.
