Maybe he's going to mark her so she can't go fight? She'll be going through the survival phase. He has to protect her, he promised! He already knows she's a black witch. He tasted it on her at the lake, so he's trying to silence her, just like when she tried to tell him about being a woman. Dear Author, enjoy your trip! I hope you come back refreshed and full of creative inspiration. I look forward to the next release!
