Alathorn chuckled as he sensed her worry. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder to comfort her. "Even if they didn't recognize me, the creatures around us, right now, are all friendly," he said. "They're herbivores and only eat plants. Besides, I can hear their thoughts. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have known they were here at all! There are a few creatures that are dangerous farther away, though. But they are keeping their distance, for now. I'm sure they may attack soon. However, I doubt they will do much of anything until tomorrow."<br/><br/>When she asked about his powers he laughed softly. "I learned I had powers when you did, actually," he said. "I didn't really know I had any kind of power until I met you. I did know that my mind wasn't as easily influenced by others and, if I touched someone, that same sort of mental barrier would transfer to them for as long as the person and I were in direct contact." At her words about hell he sighed and nodded. "Hell is exactly where you were being held. I'm not sure how I was able to get there without seeing the change but, whatever happened, I knew what it was from my previous experience in there. It wasn't completely awful, though I can't help but wonder how I was able to walk around in the first place."<br/><br/>When she grabbed his hand, he couldn't help but blink and look down at their hands. He did take hers, to comfort her, but he looked somewhat puzzled. He shrugged it off, however, and continued walking. "It was no problem. You didn't need to be in that place to begin with. It was terrible and it's better that we left. Even if the act of leaving left me in a very weak state." After he finished speaking, he smiled as they neared a sort of cliff. "Ah, we're here!"<br/><br/>Nearer to the cliff it became more obvious that, rather than a cliff, it was more of a small but deep crater. "Welcome to Crater Lodge. My home camp." At the bottom of the crater there was a house built out of a very sturdy wood and fashioned in a way that was very elaborate, but cozy. "I built it so elaborately out of true need. When it rains this crater quite often gets flooded, hence the small dock with a boat.<br/><br/>"It also helps when some of the creatures decide to try and attack me when they think I'm not prepared because I have quite a few traps that I can set off if I need to. Most of them aren't automatic, but some of them are. I disabled them already, though, so we don't have to worry. I usually have them active when I'm not home to deter creatures from raiding my house when I'm not home. The trap is actually quite ingenious and is reusable. However, my house was probably raided already, so I'll have to get or make weapons and it's a good thing we brought food."
