(Hey no worries skelguardian 
plot twists are often fun 
)
As the group disappeared into the light above him, Bat got to his feet.
He stared into the sky for a moment, a serious look on his face,
and then walked back into the darkness of the cavern,
the marsh swelling behind him.
Back atop the Wall, Sariah turned to the remaining group, now only
consisting of her, Drahcir, Stino and Mailliw. She looked around, and
spoke "Wasn't there some of Sadbhav's energy still hanging around?".
Drahcir responded "That Lion that helped me, it left just after we
destroyed the Monster" Sariah turned back to Drahcir, and then to the
cavern hole "... you can't kill something like that. It was like those
stories about the Primeval forces of Nature ..."
She paused for a moment, then turned to Stino "You'll wind up little
more than a beast if you don't control that power" Stino looked away.
A cocky smile formed on Sariah's face,
"But maybe its about time I started teaching you ...".
The sky above them began glowing orange with the setting sun,
and Mailliw started talking "We should set up camp for the night."
He caught Drahcir's gaze, who nodded back "We'll need a hourly
watch set up, as well. Any volunteers?" "Me and Stino will do the first
4 hours" replied Sariah. Stino responded "Hold on! Don't I get a say?!"
Camp was set up just after nightfal, and as Drahcir and Mailliw fell
asleep, Sariah stood guard with Stino "Now" Sariah said turning to
Stino, who returned a slightly tired look back.
"Your powers aren't free" Sariah grinned at Stino's expression,
"To put it bluntly, you're a Vampire" Stino stood still, shocked.
"Well, technically your a Soul Leech. you need to drain your energy
out of a victim before you can use your powers".
Sariah continued "So far your running on your own soul, which works.
But to use your powers fully, you'll need to drain someone, or
something, else".
She reached to her own neck, and pulled out a necklace "This ..." she
said triumphantly "... is SoulStone" the gem sparkled purple in the
moonlight "If you get some of this, you'll only need a bit of energy,
every now and again, from somewhere else"
Stino spoke up "Where can I get that stuff from?" Sariah replied "We'll
pass a cave on the way, in there" Her face grew stern "But it won't help
you control yourself ..." Stino nodded solemnly, Sariah turned
back to stand guard "... that's up to you".
The night passed quietly, and morning felt fresh. Just as the group was
about to set off, however, an army of Bandits, Hunters, Macho Men
(good idea Sadbhav XD), and Armored Guards approached with speed
along the Wall, as Mailliw shouted "Ah! The morning exercise is here!"...
Meanwhile, somewhere well away, Sadbhav dodged a giant swinging
claw, that crashed onto the earth near him. The Gigantic Scorpion's
tail shot out with remarkable speed, and yet Sadbhav narrowly avoided
it, jumping to the left, as he unleashed a flurry of attacks himself ...
