Betrayal

That stupid old man! He thinks he can stay on the bridge and just talk to Teeleh? How dumb can he be? I should've seen it coming though. He was interested in the histories, wanted to know more, and now he was talking to Teeleh, leader of the Shataiki. Tanis doesn't even know he's being betrayed. Teeleh is playing the victim, taking on the form of a beautiful creature to deceive people into thinking he was punished and that his water will give them knowledge and open their minds. Tanis fell right into his trap. He wanted to know more and drank the water. I watched in horror as Teeleh and his giant bat army attacked Tanis and then crossed the bridge. They left a wasteland behind them. Death followed closely behind. I knew I had to beat them back to the village and try to protect Rachelle and as many others as possible.
