After all, you Red were the main reason she got to join us in the first place all those354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFBOzChKL7
years ago. Do you remember? Anyway, one day she just decided to leave without a354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5KtkNVGov
word to anyone and we have never heard from her since.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDqizDrHfH
The clouds and everything below them are yet again flashed with white, as another354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwjK0sSCUB
thunderous scream echoes way up above their heads. Red lowered his brow and would354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyTGuKaaqj
take a deep breath before he would dare raise it back up again... slightly...354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DJygcVLk0
“She disappeared?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ707HyFuXOw
“It is not your fault Red,” replied Harigar Rhim.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRYXS2joxQ
“Yes, she has always made her own choices,” added Deena.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpftoygAEOz
“It was just like that huh?” Red insisted while staring back at them.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJzjlOwrvz
“She was gone?” he asked again, this time facing Deena, and although he may have354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMWW4983MU
been staring at one or the other, the truth in its rawest form, was that his questions354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHDPxEiLsp
confronted everyone here “What really happened. Can any of you at least tell me354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivflOS1m6k
that much? Marce?” It was obvious that the captain did not want to continue with354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD2n0zRU4V
this subject and so he immediately decided to bring this to an abrupt conclusion, as354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgVJNThsfL
his final words on the matter began around the same time as his newfound footsteps354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc6fzy6E7g
brought everyone starting to follow him...354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2dVgIv7Kb
“One morning we all woke up to her disappearance. She was just gone. We had354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQBxC680I7
decided to spend the night in an inn amidst the frozen lands, way up to the far north354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRqc42sJU0
as we were, of course, yet on another mission. We were forced to seek refuge from a354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mqgCuOquz
sudden storm, and what a storm it was; the flying snow raging, the howling winds alone354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBfuJAJKFK
seemed like they could cut any part of you left uncovered if you dared to promenade354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7vjuhk3GV
outside, you remember the aggressiveness of the north don’t you Red?354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzsoKUi9ox
Anyway, conditions were met that forced us to a stop and so we did. I won’t vouch354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa69kJC16s
for anyone else, but I am certain that few, if any of us, had any sleep that night.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuklYFAGpbE
Not in that cold, not with those raging and screaming winds outside every window.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuDEfE7yOn
The storm came to pass, and a warm morning took its place, but besides the relief of354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZmkhRf6vv
a sunnier vista, that rising sun also brought us breakfast and its carrier, the innkeeper354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomJSkHioua
who approached us with dire news. Such a sweet old lady she was. She approached us354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpwZRg4Vow
with the news that the woman in our party, the tall and pierced one - I’ll never forget354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiJl7bQdnM
the way she described her - had left during the night and had instructed her not to say354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl63rkg88LH
a word to any of us. We were to be left unaware of her departure till it was too late to354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvJUn5Z9Rl
try and stop her...”
“That tall woman in yer party captain, the one with her skin pierced all354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8KXHy5zJT
over and a big spear behind her back, she just wandered into the night. Why,354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ3puoj9oF
she disappeared as if absorbed by the storm. Off she went into those raging354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ175blrMpGt
white blizzards, the likes which I’ve never seen in all my years living here.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDOzEnekaP
She left behind only the coin to pay your bill and the instructions for my silence. Not to say354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDanBLD7svr
a word I was, not until morning came.”
“The innkeeper did as she was told Red, and so only by morning time, did we learn354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqGqEeC8yR
of what had transpired during the night.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnajgTethz
We were all so very exhausted from the hardships we had faced up to that point, that354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DjNEJivf0
none of us were in any condition to notice someone as skilled as Elistia taking leave.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBwcYnxY5S
We were too tired to notice most of the things we usually do, too tired to keep our354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrXPVN8AVt
eyes open whilst at the same time too tired to sleep as well. It was a strange night for354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGob44LtR2Z
all of us. We were left behind, speechless around that small table, while Deena went354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn7HpwxVoL
out after any signs, but no tracker would have been able to find a clue. Not after that354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4fv9JEFJP
storm. Elistia was one of us after all, and one of the Wurad, so no one would ever be354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91X8yNAvwH
able to pick up her trail; not unless she wanted them to.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx92voyrnIg
So, what else was there for us to do, rather than mourn?354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3e4zML7us
We had our time of silence for the loss of one of our own, one that left us by her own354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTIxpi8cFO
accord, and then shortly after we got back to our duties. I guess we all deep down felt354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ngXL7cfxE
or at least hoped that being one of the Wurad, she had just gone back to her tribe but354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1DS3y0HTJ
in all honesty, to this day, none of us can claim to know for sure where she was headed354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvAN61fcml
and what intentions drove her.
