After all, you Red were the main reason she got to join us in the first place all those344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAZNf3BibE
years ago. Do you remember? Anyway, one day she just decided to leave without a344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnal2vb6MxC
word to anyone and we have never heard from her since.”344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P382EyiPC
The clouds and everything below them are yet again flashed with white, as another344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXds5D7cFn8
thunderous scream echoes way up above their heads. Red lowered his brow and would344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF5Q7FuqYH
take a deep breath before he would dare raise it back up again... slightly...344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AEN44iB0O
“She disappeared?”344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXoQ20qWlZ
“It is not your fault Red,” replied Harigar Rhim.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw752BLJhrp
“Yes, she has always made her own choices,” added Deena.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDLpFqjtvc
“It was just like that huh?” Red insisted while staring back at them.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P4KbycURq
“She was gone?” he asked again, this time facing Deena, and although he may have344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy381xqxE1p
been staring at one or the other, the truth in its rawest form, was that his questions344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYp2ssKN9V
confronted everyone here “What really happened. Can any of you at least tell me344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6PxHPjhUQ
that much? Marce?” It was obvious that the captain did not want to continue with344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMx8rKGanU
this subject and so he immediately decided to bring this to an abrupt conclusion, as344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKElgG93dG
his final words on the matter began around the same time as his newfound footsteps344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nyGONvIuy
brought everyone starting to follow him...344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTwHmh4mmG
“One morning we all woke up to her disappearance. She was just gone. We had344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5L5wlfKLJ
decided to spend the night in an inn amidst the frozen lands, way up to the far north344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDCo1Ap4cA
as we were, of course, yet on another mission. We were forced to seek refuge from a344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwo4juUpnG
sudden storm, and what a storm it was; the flying snow raging, the howling winds alone344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9W6BNlvbA
seemed like they could cut any part of you left uncovered if you dared to promenade344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOn85WtoCJ
outside, you remember the aggressiveness of the north don’t you Red?344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKxfLBwMcL
Anyway, conditions were met that forced us to a stop and so we did. I won’t vouch344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DnxEAjRZ6
for anyone else, but I am certain that few, if any of us, had any sleep that night.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUf5QJhSZt
Not in that cold, not with those raging and screaming winds outside every window.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH6T8I0FY3
The storm came to pass, and a warm morning took its place, but besides the relief of344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSbeW3Th6O
a sunnier vista, that rising sun also brought us breakfast and its carrier, the innkeeper344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9jhl6ME7s
who approached us with dire news. Such a sweet old lady she was. She approached us344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgCcbk2Bha
with the news that the woman in our party, the tall and pierced one - I’ll never forget344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaWkLbo2rB
the way she described her - had left during the night and had instructed her not to say344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUGK1hy1Hf
a word to any of us. We were to be left unaware of her departure till it was too late to344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi7WBnIgET
try and stop her...”
“That tall woman in yer party captain, the one with her skin pierced all344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH02lXO18G
over and a big spear behind her back, she just wandered into the night. Why,344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjfqdMpkFJ
she disappeared as if absorbed by the storm. Off she went into those raging344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuOhXv7YbD
white blizzards, the likes which I’ve never seen in all my years living here.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWNUOfNxy7
She left behind only the coin to pay your bill and the instructions for my silence. Not to say344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFAdIO17AN
a word I was, not until morning came.”
“The innkeeper did as she was told Red, and so only by morning time, did we learn344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5lUmRFIUP
of what had transpired during the night.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHuNZDoK0p
We were all so very exhausted from the hardships we had faced up to that point, that344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8d9d52qgO
none of us were in any condition to notice someone as skilled as Elistia taking leave.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF2funWYYT
We were too tired to notice most of the things we usually do, too tired to keep our344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlO2p5BvrN
eyes open whilst at the same time too tired to sleep as well. It was a strange night for344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxhfAgtLdQ
all of us. We were left behind, speechless around that small table, while Deena went344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFq4FoIkgR
out after any signs, but no tracker would have been able to find a clue. Not after that344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClerXmQDds
storm. Elistia was one of us after all, and one of the Wurad, so no one would ever be344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSDDKa2ryf
able to pick up her trail; not unless she wanted them to.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHnVKeKNuD
So, what else was there for us to do, rather than mourn?344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfYSLZdXxI
We had our time of silence for the loss of one of our own, one that left us by her own344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYRD5JxzvO
accord, and then shortly after we got back to our duties. I guess we all deep down felt344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzTRTECH3m
or at least hoped that being one of the Wurad, she had just gone back to her tribe but344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIacvnO3Jb
in all honesty, to this day, none of us can claim to know for sure where she was headed344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMXDx3CCok
and what intentions drove her.
