Chapter 5

A few weeks has gone by and the two magi enter the caves to perform their
next round of experiments. They head over to a very small fela that is
resting on his bunk. They grab him by the arm but the fela with golden fur
stands and requests that they take him instead. It is clear that an
experiment on the small fela would kill him right now, and the golden furred
fela is stronger. The little fela is cast aside and collapses in a heap. He
looks up in time to make eye contact with the golden furred fela. The fela
with golden fur gives him a pleasant grin and winks at him. The fela stops
grinning as he is dragged away and clear look of determination enters his
eyes. Moments later angry shouts can be heard in the other room as they are
clearly upset that regardless of what they do the fela with golden fur
doesnt cry out in pain.

Hours go by and the fela with golden fur is dragged nearly lifeless from the
cave. He is thrown to the ground near the fire and the shaman approaches
him. The shaman lays his hands upon him and holy strength infuses his body.
He remains unmoving for a few moments and the other fela children gather
about him. He quickly rises to his feet and cries out "now." He grabs the
end of a burning timber and wields it like a polearm, quickly setting the fur
of the shaman on fire. Two of the other stronger children push their wooden
bunks over and the fela with golden fur quickly sets them ablaze, creating a
wall of fire between them and the magi. They dont have long as Brensen
begins to cast his arms about, snow gathering near his palms. The fela with
golden fur acts quickly and pulls a crude map from under his bunk. He tosses
the burning log aside and they all make a run for the cavern entrance. As
they go the fela with golden fur grabs a real polearm that is on a weapon
rack and wields it in front of him. He charges the lone sentry at the
entrance to the cave, quickly knocking the breath from his body with the
blunt end of this polearm.
