Henry chuckles. "Oh, I think you've both been made men by now," he smirks, but then he sobers. "But I get it. It's important. That's why I'm in, no matter what."

Josh squirms, a little uncomfortable with the idea of killing something at all.

"I'm in too," he says. "I'm worried about you guys though," he says. "Um...what did your father mean about purifying us?"

"Well.. like they have a cleansing rite that they use smoke to smudge away any evil spirits that may be following you." says Avalon as he fluffs his feathers around himself. "And then they;ll feed us a big meal and we'll rest and then the next morning at dawn we'll be on our own till we slay the Feartail." he takes a big breath, trying to settle himself, "However long that takes.. Sometimes others have been gone for months. I don't think that we'll be gone that long, but it's going to take us at least a week if not more, we'll have to feed ourselves and figure out where to sleep the whole time."

Henry nods. "Alright. Good thing it's summer break."

He places a hand on Ava's shoulder. "We'll do this."

"How hard is it find this Feartail thing?" Josh asks, wondering. "I mean...it shouldn't be that hard..." he lets out a thoughtful noise.

"Survival's easy. Starhaven's wilderness isn't too much different than Earth's, is it?"

Ava scratches at the back of his neck as Josh asks his question, his expression uncertain. "Finding the Feartail isn't the problem." he says. "Feartail is the biggest and most effective predator on Starhaven. They are highly dangerous, aggressive and territorial. The hard part is not getting killed ourselves by it."

He draws in a deep breath, then adds "They have giant hunting grounds, so once we find the territory of one, we have to track it down within the boundaries of it's range."
