Not too many people left standing. Derrin's arrow has either knocked them out or knocked them so far away they have managed to pick themselves up and are running away from the area as fast as they can. Of the fifteen or so men who had been tracking the child, eight lie injured or dead on the ground, four are draped on branches and three are hightailing it out of there.

*And now Kero turns his attention to the bone-reader*
So, you were right in a way....but I'll let you live, if you leave right now....

The man is sitting on the ground playing with a complicated cat's cradle. Suddenly Kero feels the air begin to harden about him.

*Now he sighs*
Gave you a chance, I did...*Simply blasts him with a stream of aethr, sucking at his life-force*

Did that just miss him? No way. Kero looks at the man's hands as they fly through their forms and realizes it is the cradle that he is using to cast magic. Somehow, by dropping one loop and forming another form he was able to deflect the attack.

*Kero smiles...interestingly....*
Very well....I'll let you live indeed....but magic can't touch me, old man...you know me by now...you know what I am....go now, and live your life...I can't be killed...and I won't kill you unless I must....

Again Kero is attacked. He finds himself first floating in some hot liquid, though no liquid is present, then he get the distinct impression he's being folded and refolded. The pattern in the shaman's hands is quite complicated.

*Kero sighs*
You made your choice...though I'd love to learn how you're affecting me...answer me this...why are you attacking me when you know I'm your doom?

Suddenly the shaman drops all but two ends of the cradle and pulls it taunt. It is all Kero can do to hold his shape and prevent himself form being winked out of existence.

*Kero struggles against his magic...hard....how he's doing this, he'll never know...then he gets an idea...and focuses all his power into a single blow...a needle...not aimed at the man...but at the string itself...*

It snaps with a result that makes Kerobian smile. He had made the right choice. The spell recoiling has consumes the shaman one second he is there, the next he has been winked out of existence. The sting falls to the ground in a lazy, effortless spiral.

*Now Kero goes back, teleporting in front of Bez and Tam...wrinkling his nose*
Methinks Argeeis needs a change, you two....where's our little fugitive?

"Been there, done that..." laughs Ai with a nod to the cave. "Your little friend was giving Bez the heebie jeebies,.. so I put him inside with something to eat."

*Kero nods, going inside...and throwing a clean diaper out to Tam and Bez...he sits down near the child*
Hey...can you understand me?

Blue crystalline eyes turn to look at him, but the child make no sound. He's been eating what appears to be a small squirrel. It's skinn has been eatly removed and folded to one side and as the boy eats he is examining the tiny creature, almost as if he is tring to figure out what makes it work.
