Death sent Dust ahead to scout for danger. He came back, squawked, and sat on Haro's antlers. Death nodded and turned to Matthew.<br/>"It should be safe." he said.<br/>Matthew nodded, feeling slightly better. Suddenly, he got this strange feeling he was being watched. He turned around and saw a Venus spirit disappear into a tree. He clambered up the tree after it. As it tried to get away, he grabbed its tail. He smiled.<br/>"Chasm?" he asked the spirit.<br/>Chasm turned around and smiled mischievously. Then a shadow was cast over them, and Chasm nervously huddled up against Matthew. Matthew turned around and stared right into the face of a Rat Warrior. The rat took its knife and stabbed Matthew's hand to the tree. Luckily, it was his left hand. Matthew yelled in pain and lashed out with his legs, kicking the rat person out of the tree. It landed on the ground on its feet in front of Death. Death nonchalantly reached out and twisted its head 180 degrees, and the rats lifeless body flopped over.<br/>Matthew ripped the knife out of his hand and stifled another scream. He used Cure Psynergy to somewhat heal it. Then he bandaged his hand and hopped down next to Death.<br/>"You ok?" Death asked.<br/>"I deal with them all the time." Matthew replied as he put the rats knife in his backpack for later.<br/>Death shrugged as they continued walking.
