After all, you Red were the main reason she got to join us in the first place all those324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd3Vwfy3OK
years ago. Do you remember? Anyway, one day she just decided to leave without a324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp45BifSINB
word to anyone and we have never heard from her since.”324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RdVhbORtt
The clouds and everything below them are yet again flashed with white, as another324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiazZYYS2kL
thunderous scream echoes way up above their heads. Red lowered his brow and would324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRckVSToBa1
take a deep breath before he would dare raise it back up again... slightly...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHwIqWzG1J
“She disappeared?”324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnuln5POfF
“It is not your fault Red,” replied Harigar Rhim.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IAPHJ3tT7
“Yes, she has always made her own choices,” added Deena.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaibDx99aA
“It was just like that huh?” Red insisted while staring back at them.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ztluu5AU6
“She was gone?” he asked again, this time facing Deena, and although he may have324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BvOw69oBc
been staring at one or the other, the truth in its rawest form, was that his questions324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbnTktIkkz
confronted everyone here “What really happened. Can any of you at least tell me324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA9WGaABkm
that much? Marce?” It was obvious that the captain did not want to continue with324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa0mQYPRL4
this subject and so he immediately decided to bring this to an abrupt conclusion, as324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpbHIJGcC6
his final words on the matter began around the same time as his newfound footsteps324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFJk0xLlT3
brought everyone starting to follow him...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpWJEMIsZQ
“One morning we all woke up to her disappearance. She was just gone. We had324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYvo70bk6h
decided to spend the night in an inn amidst the frozen lands, way up to the far north324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JQDdzD7VR
as we were, of course, yet on another mission. We were forced to seek refuge from a324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwFkfOSwKT
sudden storm, and what a storm it was; the flying snow raging, the howling winds alone324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4udaQmwZ4
seemed like they could cut any part of you left uncovered if you dared to promenade324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTsnL3mkFJ
outside, you remember the aggressiveness of the north don’t you Red?324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPy7mweskH
Anyway, conditions were met that forced us to a stop and so we did. I won’t vouch324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLTaxR0DeH
for anyone else, but I am certain that few, if any of us, had any sleep that night.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtyCSymGFE
Not in that cold, not with those raging and screaming winds outside every window.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqg2rbIjMa
The storm came to pass, and a warm morning took its place, but besides the relief of324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FglDcveI9
a sunnier vista, that rising sun also brought us breakfast and its carrier, the innkeeper324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvXjoEArya
who approached us with dire news. Such a sweet old lady she was. She approached us324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviutVx6zNX
with the news that the woman in our party, the tall and pierced one - I’ll never forget324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JV0FNfh0w
the way she described her - had left during the night and had instructed her not to say324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U1gvBsHyf
a word to any of us. We were to be left unaware of her departure till it was too late to324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T2JQ2BgIR
try and stop her...”
“That tall woman in yer party captain, the one with her skin pierced all324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0CeBh3ZJg
over and a big spear behind her back, she just wandered into the night. Why,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDZaAppKRS
she disappeared as if absorbed by the storm. Off she went into those raging324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrERJbzoljK
white blizzards, the likes which I’ve never seen in all my years living here.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DwHiA6WsN
She left behind only the coin to pay your bill and the instructions for my silence. Not to say324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GPUj2Azkx
a word I was, not until morning came.”
“The innkeeper did as she was told Red, and so only by morning time, did we learn324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hYKQBeYi6
of what had transpired during the night.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYvDXIUN3F
We were all so very exhausted from the hardships we had faced up to that point, that324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TRE25ZLsl
none of us were in any condition to notice someone as skilled as Elistia taking leave.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOyTb4d2T6
We were too tired to notice most of the things we usually do, too tired to keep our324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEEpE0epBE
eyes open whilst at the same time too tired to sleep as well. It was a strange night for324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShoXlSMigV
all of us. We were left behind, speechless around that small table, while Deena went324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Hh5SRcDY
out after any signs, but no tracker would have been able to find a clue. Not after that324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiOmhmATpo
storm. Elistia was one of us after all, and one of the Wurad, so no one would ever be324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1MFKIs0b2
able to pick up her trail; not unless she wanted them to.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxh7BAYfEI
So, what else was there for us to do, rather than mourn?324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJMbFvLbb1
We had our time of silence for the loss of one of our own, one that left us by her own324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZWO79ibiz
accord, and then shortly after we got back to our duties. I guess we all deep down felt324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeNtoy09Hk
or at least hoped that being one of the Wurad, she had just gone back to her tribe but324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnOdplJyE3
in all honesty, to this day, none of us can claim to know for sure where she was headed324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PubIar8fL
and what intentions drove her.
