Valda was nervous seeing the man  playing with fire like it was a toy. Fire  was  something to be  respected. not  a  game. If  this guy was  going to be  traveling with her, she wasn't sure  how well it would turn out. The boy seemed  young  too, but  really she  had just become  an  adult herself, not much  she  could say about that. So, it seemed  that  she was  chosen  for this  quest  because  she  was  foretold to be  the salvation? She  never thought of herself as  special. More  of a hindrance  after  what  happened  with her  last  group. She  watched  as Merl stomped off, seeming grumpy and not too happy with her  and the other  boy that had showed up. That  didn't help her  feelings  very  much. But, she wanted  to  get out of this  place  as  much as  he  did. She then begins  running after him.<br/>"Wait! We  don't even know where we  are  going yet!<br/>She had  thought the chieftain  would tell them more  about  what  they had to do, he had just  said something  about demons and that  was  it. And  they had to  figure  out  what  was the  leader of the  group, and  just  what talents  everyone had. Well, they could find that  on the  road. She was  kind of  glad that  they were getting out of  there. Having some guy playing with fire was making her nervous.
