She cried out, blaring white-hot pain filling her senses.  Once the wound was generally dealt with, her senses calmed down and she was able to slowly regain herself.  When the Raven spoke back to Benaiah, Audra almost thought she had imagined it, until Benaiah asked her if she had heard the words.  She nodded slowly, wondering if perhaps she had lost consciousness and this was all some sort of dream.  Audra listened intently as the Raven recounted his story, but she was already well acquainted with the madness and lust of Malgamus.  His desires had been set upon her sister and his curse was what killed her entire pack.<br/><br/>"His lustful eye found my sister.  He wished to bed her but she denied him.  Much of the magic such wizards use is not able to impact my kind...but he found a curse that would take away my pack's ability to heal and he used that to punish my sister.   One by one, each of my packmates succumbed to illness and injury, until only she and I were left."  Audra closed her eyes and the image of her sister filled her mind.  Ebba had been a beautiful woman, kind and soft when she needed to be, but also fierce and protective.  Many men coveted her hand in marriage, but she had wanted to wait until she met a true mate, a true match for her abilities as a wolf.<br/><br/>"Ebba caught a sickness, something we thought was nothing more than a cold...Us wolves, we don't get sick like humans do.  And we could not shift into our human form and try to stop the illness, for fear the shifting would kill us both. I was useless to help her and watched as she deteriorated..."<br/><br/>Audra scowled and looked over at the bird.  "If you have a means of stopping this monster, I would greatly appreciate hearing it."  If there was a means of destroying this evil creature, she wanted a crack at it.
