"It doesn't sound to me like he was particularly benevolent before the silver affected his mind.  Men who want such power rarely are truly good at the heart..."  Audra said.  She disagreed with the raven on a few fronts.   "He's not just crazy, it's easy to say that someone is insane and absolve them of their wrongdoing.  This man has acted with intent time and time again, whatever madness he possesses, it simply unleashes a side of himself that was very likely there all along."<br/><br/>Audra had a very different perspective than most typical humans would have.  Animals killed, fucked and traveled because of deeply ingrained instinctual impulses.  They killed to survive.  They fucked to ensure their kind lived on.  This man just wanted control over others and if they were unwilling to submit, it was clear he would kill or wound those that refused.  Animals were simpler because they lacked the complicated thoughts that humans possessed.  A wolf might edge in on territory, but generally, that was only because his own hunting grounds had become dangerous or threatened.<br/><br/>The Raven's proposition was interesting to her, but it also seemed foolish.  Yes, they could go and gather the tools necessary and attempt some kind of attack...But the powerful wizards who had created these tools had failed.  What made them special?  Was it just that they both had a bone to pick with this man?  She shifted and looked to her companion, Benaiah, shaking her head.<br/><br/>"So we gather these artifacts and likely die by the hands of the wizard, yes?  He killed the others and it seems as if they knew what they were doing.  He no doubt has more power and more magic now...If I die, the last of my pack is gone forever.  No one will remember my family or their loss.  I just...Even if I had the heart, it sounds like it would simply be our undoing..."  She looked to the Raven and then back to Benaiah.  "What do you think?  This man is supposedly your father, perhaps you possess some of his abilities?"
