With Marcus having struck a deal with Andrea to receive her and her tribe's help in clearing out the Great Gome Woods of beasts and monster. It was now time for him to keep up one of the parts of the bargain.
Andrea quickly led him out of her yurt, and to her and Marcus' surprise, a half dozen members of her tribe were outside waiting.
When they saw Marcus they glared, and a couple gave Andrea looks of disappointment.
They had been hoping for her to drag Marcus out bruised and bloody, and then toss him out into the snow.
"You must be starting to go soft Andrea. Why are you letting this noble walk all over you? It is not befitting of our leader to bow to another."
Looking at the ringleader of this group, Marcus was not impressed.
It was pretty obvious that this guy who was a wolf beastman was making a grab for power by trying to discredit Andrea.
