Elder's Promise

Erik gripped his hammer tighter as he looked upon the old shaman.
"What is this blood taint you speak of? If it is among our kind, then why do you phrase it as if you do not have it?"
The old ones promise touched him, he was not sure just what he knew, but the fact that he mentioned his torment...
Stepping forward, he released his grip.
"If you allow my friends to pass safely, without further attack from your...children... I will join you."
