Chapter 6

Surin never really found comfort with the creatures of the wilds,
he only found comfort in the cover provided by the plantlife.
He was drawn however, by the dark side of nature. As he got older
this attraction grew. Creatures that most travelers fear or find
repulsive, Surin enjoyed. He delighted to watch them hunt and kill
their prey. They deceived and surprised their prey, much like he
does. He found joy in the company of spiders, snakes, scorpions
and other such vile things. Deer, wolves, bears and such, he
regarded as food. Sometimes, he liked to venture out into the putrid
swamps, festering with foul life. It held a fascination for him,
it beckoned him.

A large scorpion appeared once in a while from the wilderness and
crawled up his leg. Surin often feeds it from his own blood or
from the blood of his fallen prey. He enjoys watching it feast,
then releases it back into the dark wilderness.
