Raven sits by the fire in front of his shack. In his head Yu's words were still ringing " "I...I'm sorry Raven, but I don't want to risk your life, and I do not need many guardians. I don't want to endanger anyone." Raven knew Yu meant what he had said in the nicest way possible, but it really felt like a smack in the face. Raven understands life and death. Raven puts himself to the test everyday working the land and hunting for his food. Everyday could mean his last shot at survival.

As Raven stared into the bright flicker of the flame, he wondered if it was coincidence that when he met Yu that he was endangering his own life. He was stealing to live, and breaking laws. A little boy like himself with no family would not have been missed, but Yu had saved him. Yu helped him. It was the only act of true kindness he ever had felt. Raven did not feel that he owed Yu his life, but he finally felt what it meant to have a friend.

Raven stands up and puts the fire out with a bowl made from bark with water in it. " That settles it he says with a smirk on his face. I will go to him and I will get him to say yes." Raven knew how to get to the temple from his home, and it was not too far of a walk away. Maybe... just maybe he would have a chance to catch up to him and to plea his case.

Raven Begins to pack his stuff up. He fills the pot that he makes stew in with a few vegetables. He wraps the pot up in a blanket and ties it to his shoulder to make it easy to carry. He walks into his shack and looks around the little mat he calls a bed. Under his makeshift pillow he pulls out a small bag with money in it. At the foot of his bed there is a chest. Raven opens the chest to pull out a purple cloth wrapped about a pair of blades. Raven looks over the finely crafted blades as they gleam. The only thing that his father ever gave him. A pair of patas. His father had claimed to slay many a man and beast with this these, but they were done for mans greedy needs. Raven vows to use them to help if need be. With all of Raven's possesions bagged up and ready, he sets out for the temple.

After a while of walking Raven see the temple. He still can not tell if Yu has left or not, and since he is not a guardian and has all of his stuff he finds it rather rude to enter without any sould purpose. So Raven sits out the entrance to the temple hoping to see Yu as he walks out to ask him if he may, in fact, be able to join Yu and help him.
