"Apparently you simply needed the right trigger."  Audra remarked after she saw the clear evidence of Benaiah's abilities.  It seemed despite her protests, Benaiah still wanted to seek out his father.  Audra was not sure she could blame the man, some part of her did want revenge and to undo this evil curse...but in her weakened state she was likely just to get herself killed.  She pulled her cloak around her and looked at Opledor and then at Benaiah.  The Oracle resided in a temple in the mountains on the other side of the valley.  The canyons, peaks and woods were even more deadly and treacherous than the ones here.  She was almost certain that if Benaiah were to go it alone, he would die.  Even his newly emerged powers would not be enough to stop the kinds of creatures that protected the temple.<br/><br/>"Can you teach him to heal with his magic?"  Audra asked, looking to Opledor.  "I know the woods around the temple.  My pack used to protect the area when I was a child.  I can get us into the temple, but what the wizard did to me and my pack...If I take a hit, I could die from it."  She explained.  She had heard of mages who could use their powers to knit flesh back together and heal horrible wounds.  There were even some that could bring someone back from the brink of death.  If he could find a way to mitigate the curse placed upon her, then perhaps she could at least help him get started on this journey.<br/><br/>"You helped me remove the arrow, which would have killed me.  I think I have enough strength to leave this place.  Perhaps we can return to your home in the valley and I can spend a few days healing there..."  She said, trying to come up with a plan in her mind.  "Your mother lives there with you, doesn't she?  We can tell her you saved me from a bandit attack, that I'm traveling to see my family and that you offered to accompany me to ensure my safety."  Audra offered.  It was odd, the lie they would tell his mother was almost the opposite of the truth.<br/><br/>"What say the two of you?"
