Markal nodded. It was a good theory, but that's all they had at this point, theories. Elra had recognized what was in the second orb, so it fit there, but what about the first one? "Did someone recognize the voice from the first orb? Or maybe remember someone cutting themselves before coming here?"

Rita looked to Markal and frowned, shaking her head. "I didn't recognize that one..." she explained to him. "But...that one seemed to be running away, and this one came to Elra. You think it's different?"

Elra shook his head. "No, I only recognized it from the second one, the first one, I didn't even know who that was." He said before shaking his head. "Those orbs are scary, but I think we need to find them all if we need to know what happened to us." He said to everyone as if he were the leader of this group or something. He'd notice another orb-like light in the distance and start following it. "Hey! There's another one!" He said as he started toward it.

"Hey, wait!" Markal shifts into full out tiger again and easily catches up to Elra. He couldn't let him go alone, and if Elra wasn't fast enough on his own to catch the orb, then he'd need a faster ride.

Elra kept running, but would find Markal running toward him, he'd stop, bend his knees and jump up so that he could land on the tiger's back as he ran. He'd point forward as he landed. "Onward!" He said very seriously, he wanted to see this orb, even if it would scare him to death.

Markal made a strange noise in the back of his throat, sounding like a mix between a cough and a growl. After a moment, it might be figured out that he was laughing, or as close to laughing as he could get. He went faster, catching up to the orb quickly. He braced himself for whatever might be in the orb.

Elra looked down to Markal and laughed a very childish laugh. He'd look up at the orb and snatch at it, even though it wasn't completely necessary it seemed that by now, the orbs just seemed to gravitate to whoever the orb belonged to. The orb floated over to Elra and would land in his palm. He'd gulp and look into the orb, hoping that it wasn't another scary thing.

The orb shined brightly and slowly revealed a scene, it showed a cabin made completely of wood. Elra gasped. "That- That's my home!" He said with surprise. The scene quickly shifted to the interior of the house and showed two elves of adult age, one woman and one man. The man was locking all of the doors and the woman was boarding up the house, it looked like they were preparing for an attack. "Mom... Dad." He said quietly. The scene would shift once again and change to just outside of the house. The demons were heading toward the house, wielding torches and spears. The "chief" was smiling with his enormous elongated teeth revealed and he'd point forward, the other demons nodded their heads and charged for the cabin. "NO!! MOM!! DAD!!"

Markal growled at the scene in the orb, but was afraid to disturb it. He didn't want to chance breaking up the vision before finding out if Elra's parents had survived the attack. He had no idea if his sister was still alive, but this was a chance to find out if Elra's family was. This was the first time Markal had ever seen demons. Seeing them stirred something in him and he didn't like it.
