The guards in front of this tent were even more attentive than usual because there was a danger of a direct attack.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eFather...\\\u003c\\\u003c Lariana said to him quietly.\n\nKrashak looked up from the table in front of him and looked his daughter in the eyes.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eYou have your mother's eyes...\\\u003c\\\u003c he said, somewhat lost in thought.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eYou said that before, father.\\\u003c\\\u003c Lariana said to him and sat down next to him.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eI am saddened by something else, father. I am worried about Varshgar. Shouldn't he be back with us by now?\\\u003c\\\u003c she asked hesitantly in his direction.\n\nKrashak was silent for a moment, not knowing how to tell her.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eFather?! What's wrong?\\\u003c\\\u003c she asked excitedly.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eYou can't hide it from me. I'll find out one way or another!\\\u003c\\\u003c she snapped excitedly.\n\nShortly after, the two guards poked their heads into the tent and looked to see what was going on.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eIs everything all right?\\\u003c\\\u003c the one guard asked inside.\n\nKrashak waved it off and finally said:\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eEverything is fine, yes.\\\u003c\\\u003c\n\nAgain he looked into his daughter's eyes. He felt miserable for what he had actually told Varshgar to do.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eWill you tell me now or will you continue to keep me silent?\\\u003c\\\u003c she asked again insistently.\n\nKrashak thought for a moment, but then he revealed to her why Varshgar had not yet returned.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eLariana...I...\\\u003c\\\u003c\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eYes? \\\u003c\\\u003c she asked urgently.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eI know that Varshgar is your right paw. But what did you tell him to do? Tell me father!\\\u003c\\\u003c\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eI didn't tell Varshgar to do anything, nor did I give him an order.\\\u003c\\\u003c Lariana held both her paws in front of her mouth and slowly began to shake her head.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eDid he?\\\u003c\\\u003c she asked quietly as if she could think of the answer but didn't want to hear it.\n\nKrashak nodded.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eYes.\\\u003c\\\u003c he said curtly and paused for a moment before continuing.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eVarshgar has agreed to distract the enemies threatening our camp or to eliminate them in case of emergency.\\\u003c\\\u003c\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eNo!\\\u003c\\\u003c she said softly.\n\nKrashak knew why Lariana reacted the way she did. Varshgar was promised to her but nevertheless he had to take on a superior number of enemies. She was sure that he would not stand a chance. So he would do everything to stop them even if he had to sacrifice himself.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eThat can't be\\\u003c\\\u003c she said and some tears ran down her cheek.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eYou let him go to his death and you didn't even stop him! Father how could you!\\\u003c\\\u003c she asked him upset.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eLariana, please!\\\u003c\\\u003c he said but she got up and ran out of the tent.\n\nKrashak was still looking after her until his gaze was interrupted by the leather tarp.\n\n_\"Lari\"_ he thought to himself and reached out his hand for her.\n\nKrashak looked down at the table on which lay a map of the area. Varshgar had made it, as he was the most capable scout Krashak could come up with. It would be a bitter blow if his fears were realized and Varshgar did not return.\n\nIn his mind he went through the possibilities Varshgar might have had.\n\nBut he got stuck on a few likely ones. The most obvious was that Varshgar had become a prisoner. Even though he was sure Varshgar would never betray his tribe, he was far more concerned about his well-being than the remote chance that he might fold.\n\n_\"Varshgar. What have I done?\"_ he asked himself in the silence of his tent.\n\nIt took a moment for Krashak to regain his composure, but then he was determined enough to put his thoughts into action.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eGuard!\\\u003c\\\u003c he called urgently. So determined that both guards in front of the tent flinched.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eEhm, should I or... you...?\\\u003c\\\u003c the one asked the other.\n\nHis counterpart shrugged and then he took heart. He took a deep breath and sighed.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eYes, Krashak?\\\u003c\\\u003c he asked hesitantly into the tent.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eLet me get my two best scouts, to Varshgar. I want to speak to them!\\\u003c\\\u003c he said very insistently.\n\n\\\u003e\\\u003eYyye... Yes, is good!\\\u003c\\\u003c said the guard and dashed off.","series":{"name":"The Bloodfang Wolves","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1834763-chapter-12.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1834767-chapter-14.json"}}
