Meanwhile, as the creepy and snake-like voice hissed in her mind, a new figure appeared outside the forest. He had seen the squid's untimely demise, yet could not shake a feeling that it was something much stronger than that small female. Her dull, black hair seemed to tangle around her neck as she kneeled onto the ground. Pain radiated from her face, and that worried him. Minutes seemed like hours as he watched the girl begin to crawl on all fours towards a tree. That was odd behavior, even for a human.
He had a choice, save the human, or walk away. If he left, he could consult the stars in peace, and have a faint idea with what could be threatening the forest. If he stayed, and fought, he and the girl could die. Through logical reasoning, he obviously chose to trot away.
However, he knew that something was coming, and that something could not be met with neglect.
"The stars may not favor you, child." he lightly whispered. The wind had fallen down considerably after another minute of studying the girl. He wanted to help.
There was nothing he could do however, for the other centaurs had agreed to bring him back into the clan if he had no contact whatsoever with any human. He had to follow the pact he and his kin had made all of those years ago. Setting yourself against the heavens was a sure-fire way to receive expulsion from the family. If that was not enough, the thought of being banished and beaten again flashed across his mind again, once had most definitely been enough. His hooves stumbled back and forth, still a bit indecisive and confused. His fears had won however, and with his heart full of pity and worry, he turned back into the forest and let the young female stand alone against the unseen fury.
He chanced one more look at the girl. Both she and the bits of squid were gone, just like the sun would be in almost one hour exact. He continued along his path, determined to see the cause and eventual effect laid out within the heavens.
