Snippet #2144544

Joseph was relieved for a second, "Another One like me, maybe two." He thought, refering to the new girl, who seemed to not be too freaked out that he controled fire. However, any hope he had was lost when a platoon of armed men entered his barn, rambing on about how they are doomed to die. Joseph obviously didn't want to, so when Edward threw a spear at the man, he felt happy. However, when he ordered him to burn the barn to stall, he felt opposed.

"No! I can't, the animals." He said, his love of animals showing. However, the men seemed to be coming forward, so he created a fire ball in his hand and aimed it at the ground, and ran off with Edward and the girl. The fireball quickly took up the barn, but burned down the walls first, so some of the animasl got out in time, however he wasn't sure about the men. The fire quickly took the shape of a demonic looking dog, breating fire to hasten the process.

As they were running, Joseph noticed that Edward seemed injured, but not too horribly. Once they reached the town, he realized what he had done, "I may have just killed someone." He though, which made him feel horrible. They weren't good people, but they didn't deserve to die. However, he wasn't mad at Edward, but at the gods for giving him this curse.

They came across a girl with a staff, she looked like a traveler, but somehow looked like she knew we were going to be there. Edward blew their cover, if they even had one, when he created the spear, but the girl didn't freak out, she even introduced herself. "Argo." the name rang in his head for some reason. She then offered to help them.

Joseph took this as an oppertunity to finally say something, "Argo, this man need's healing, he is hurt." Was the first thing he said, dispite the fact he was forced to burn his barn down, the safety of a fellow Child of the Sabbath was more important. But then he needed answers, "Edward." he aimed at him, "We need to find my sister, she could be in danger. I helped you escape, now help me find her." He begged, anyone that knew him knew that he cared for his sister, even if she was distant with him at recent times.
