Sabrina has left during the night. Svarog en Igor visit Joshua before leaving Veryne. Borden, Joshua's father, insists he goes along too as the forest is too dangerous. By afternoon the group is ambushed by werewolves. Borden suffers a severe bite in the neck but survives. Svarog is bitten in his arm, which he quickly cuts clean off. After a short debate about wether or not to press on they decide to rest up before continuing further.
