Lutis, Rebellion-Held Aviye
Zai
After a brief talk with the village chief, Zai assented to being brought to Lutis village. There were two roads there, one which went through the mountains, and the hidden depot, and the other, longer road that stayed by the river.
She agreed for two reasons.
The first was that Auntie said some children had escaped during the attack. She reasoned that they'd gone to find the Nightravens, but that if they hadn't found them they'd be at the Nightraven's base. If the Nightravens had them, that meant they'd be taken to the village. Either way, once the villagers were able to circle back to pick up the villagers that stayed behind they'd be able to look for them.
The second was that, as a result of the encounter with the plane, several villagers had been injured in the scramble away from the road. To avoid exacerbating everyone's injuries, it was decided not to risk rockslides and bumpier surfaces in exchange for a little more speed.
