I am here as I promised. Do not worry about me. No witch-woman can hold a real warrior for long.

Yes, we travel together to the Mabrigash camp.

I will show you that I am not afraid of any witch-woman. I will follow you to the mabrigash camp.

Your words move me. I will show you how a real warrior deals with these witch-women. I will follow you to the mabrigash camp.

I am a hunter of the Erabinimsun. I have proven my bravery many times against the war-loving Erabinimsun who think all the peace-lovers are cowards.

Mimanu tried her charms on me. I let her think they were working and escaped the next morning.

Then what do you want, outlander?

What? You want me to go live with the witch-women? Do you think I am a fool like Jocien? Do you think I would fall for their charms?

The wise-woman who left us, and our rules. She steals a man's vital essence to make herself a powerful sorcerer. Her camp is to the west, along the lava. She has others with her and I would stay away. It'll be hard to find the camp in this landscape anyway.

A mabrigash is an Ashlander witch-warrior, a renegade wise woman who has forsaken the established rules of behavior for an Ashlander woman to become a master of dark magic and the weapons of war. By secret rituals the mabrigash steals a man's vital essence and makes herself a powerful sorcerer and warrior. The manifestation of her dark power is called a 'ghost snake' that paralyzes and drains a victim's vitality.
