“I don’t see what we have to lose if you join us but you need to ask Leah, I am only the second in command so I can’t go and make a decision that big without her agreeing.â€?

“I agree with you Emily, I don’t see anything wrong with Jacob joining us against Nezumi, we could use someone that knows about the area better then us.â€?

“Ryu, not Jacob. I don’t go by that name now.â€?

“Right, Ryu, well nonetheless, I think that we could use your help. However, do not think, even for a second, that I trust you. That is something you are going to have to earn. Right Emily?â€?

“Right. Now Ryu, why exactly do you want to join us against Nezumi? What did she do to you?â€?

“She killed my family and my friends, my pack, and tried killing me when I lived in the empire under the name Jacob. That is why I do not go by that name anymore, I don’t want her to know that I am still alive, that way she will be taken by more surprise when she sees me in the militia against her and her empire.â€?

“Well we still don’t trust you.â€?
