Argus had just finished dressing when he heard a commotion farther down the bank of the lake. He looked in that direction curiously, unaware of the danger of assassins that followed the people among whom he now found himself.

"ASSASSINS!" He heard Ravin shout. He looked puzzled... assassins? Was he speaking of the creatures? Had they escaped the mirror? But then he saw that men were falling from the trees and he realized that Ravin was yelling about a more human menace. He had the instant urge to run... to flee from the death that constantly hunted him. But he knew he was no longer in the other world, and he knew that these people had saved him from that terrible, terrible place. He hadn't shown much gratitude, but he was always a gruff man and had difficulty with such emotions. But grateful he was, and he could not abandon the people who had released him from his tortured fate just to save his own skin.

He started toward the fighting, arriving on the scene just as the angry woman slew one of the assassins with the help of the bone demon. He grabbed a fallen branch from one of the nearby trees and ran toward another assassin, intoning a prayer. He felt his body flooded with a sudden strength and speed. His spell in place, he dodged the assassin's first strike and swung his makeshift club at the side of the killer's head, feeling it impact with a sickening thud and crunch. At that moment a lightning bolt struck the ground in front of him and he was hurled backward, his club flying from his hand. His head struck a rock and he lost consciousness. Vaguely, as everything went dark, he hoped the assassin had been incapacitated by the strike as well. Otherwise he was finally a dead man.
