Sauron woke with Karak standing over him. The Vandal, it seemed, had dragged the Titan to another cave not far from their former abode, out of sight of the remnants of Rhall's forces. Sauron noticed the massive hand shaped burn that ran up Karak's arm, and shakily stood to examine it. He knew that the markings left by the injury were a sign of direct contact with the Darkness, but to his knowledge, there'd never been a Fallen that he'd seen burnt like that, even when they clashed with the Hive. The Titan pushed it out of his mind, turning to exit the cave, sure that-

The other Guardians were themselves slumped against the other sides of the cave, also unconcious. Somehow, Karak had managed to drag all of them to safety, although Sauron had no idea why. The Vandal, sensing his question, spoke.

"The brothers of thine, who saved myself...."

"Are mine as well."

Sauron stared at the Fallen in shock. This creature couldn't be serious. Granted, it had amnesia, granted, he'd saved its life after Chorrin's incredible stupidity, but there was no way that it was seriously considering joining their expedition. The Titan spoke in return, comtemplating Karak's blunt statement. After all, he had no idea what to say except:

"Then it shall by so, my friend."

Sauron pulled a packet of stimulant hypos from his med-bag and began jamming them into the Guardians, who would soon awaken.
