First Elder said to Hansel still coughing slightly, "Hansel, you should not have done that." "You fool, you should have gone after the human and killed him."

Snap,,,,,,,Snap....... Thump…..
The human had broken free and he jumped to the ground with a loud stomp. Hansel took a deep breath and said, "I know. But I couldn't let you die, my friend. First, my daughter died. If I even lost you as well. I..."
First Elder interjected in anger, "We were all supposed to die in the end anyway, that was our decision, you were the one who was supposed to escape the forest. No matter the price."
"Even if you die or all of us must die, it will be at the hands of the Fae folks, not this wretched human and we will not die without making them suffer as well." stated Hansel in a resolute tone.
