Everyone wishes Ezourer good luck as he and Galú leaves the "security" of the town.
But wishes are just that, wishes, and Ezourer soon finds that somehow animals always manage to escape from him.
Then, just by luck, an animal looks at him and doesn´t run.
In fact, it is curious enough to get a little closer to the shifter who slays it with an arrow, thus gaining his meal for the day.
This of course, is not of the taste of Galú, who goes hunting on its own. He comes back later with a full stomach. And the looks he gives to his owner says that no, he is not going to tell Ezourer where the rest is.
When the healer comes back to town, he finds that everyone else is in the same condition. Soldiers are hungry and hungry soldiers are not good ones.
The Captain is holding a reunion with Ezourer´s mother and the other healers and indicates him to join them.
"Sargeant, come here. We were discussing the situation. And it is very simple. There is no food, and we don´t have enough hunters to find it on a daily basis for the entire army. So that means that from now on, you will be our primary source of food with your spells. And that is pretty bad. Foreseeing this I unstructed Martil to get us as much food and clothes as he can in the negotiations that will be held with the humans of this land. But we can´t endure like this forever."
The captain turns, looking at his men working or resting, hoping to be healed.
"And I can´T order them to transform in farmers."
