He sighed and looked down. "No," he said. "We can't turn back... I think I may be able to get us home, again... But it's not going to be easy. It's going to be very difficult... Especially on me... And I may end up being very tired from this... I may even pass out... But if it works, we should be safe, at least for a while..." He, then, looked to her and reached his hand out.<br/><br/>"I guess I should introduce myself," he said. "My name is Alathorn. I will help you as best I can because that's what I do... But you have to trust me. You have to trust that I will help you and that I will protect you. I request one thing of you. Should you not trust me, turn back and leave. If there is a shadow of doubt in your mind that I will lead you astray, then go back. If you do trust me, however, then take my hand and tell me your name. Either way, I will return and help you. I promise you that."
