After all, you Red were the main reason she got to join us in the first place all those335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlieTdzjY4
years ago. Do you remember? Anyway, one day she just decided to leave without a335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy5QIHpM63
word to anyone and we have never heard from her since.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdDrKbbs9p
The clouds and everything below them are yet again flashed with white, as another335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2alJsA4Hw
thunderous scream echoes way up above their heads. Red lowered his brow and would335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwyq8QyYbM
take a deep breath before he would dare raise it back up again... slightly...335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gvpvyt1jB
“She disappeared?”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauIHJQjn7V
“It is not your fault Red,” replied Harigar Rhim.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyR6xqUEjY
“Yes, she has always made her own choices,” added Deena.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9mSmijxx5
“It was just like that huh?” Red insisted while staring back at them.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dUMfmDXC0
“She was gone?” he asked again, this time facing Deena, and although he may have335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUCm0ayfoT
been staring at one or the other, the truth in its rawest form, was that his questions335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL3Q73lTJC
confronted everyone here “What really happened. Can any of you at least tell me335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfDIxW3TFx
that much? Marce?” It was obvious that the captain did not want to continue with335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKFgCilWPe
this subject and so he immediately decided to bring this to an abrupt conclusion, as335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxQrPvIMjN
his final words on the matter began around the same time as his newfound footsteps335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdymutY2uIY
brought everyone starting to follow him...335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QjSgxyPHs
“One morning we all woke up to her disappearance. She was just gone. We had335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5BEfnJK7x
decided to spend the night in an inn amidst the frozen lands, way up to the far north335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnnvWWVdXD
as we were, of course, yet on another mission. We were forced to seek refuge from a335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgrLRUuPEx
sudden storm, and what a storm it was; the flying snow raging, the howling winds alone335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOBD4r09DW
seemed like they could cut any part of you left uncovered if you dared to promenade335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41DPDn7JYo
outside, you remember the aggressiveness of the north don’t you Red?335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QwPYvO7HT
Anyway, conditions were met that forced us to a stop and so we did. I won’t vouch335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sy3QhiROD
for anyone else, but I am certain that few, if any of us, had any sleep that night.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2fUMdxDdf
Not in that cold, not with those raging and screaming winds outside every window.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpHngovfpL
The storm came to pass, and a warm morning took its place, but besides the relief of335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OpkTFeZK7
a sunnier vista, that rising sun also brought us breakfast and its carrier, the innkeeper335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH5862xKrT
who approached us with dire news. Such a sweet old lady she was. She approached us335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBde0xQbp2
with the news that the woman in our party, the tall and pierced one - I’ll never forget335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa6c3rWHIq
the way she described her - had left during the night and had instructed her not to say335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWIPSTumS2
a word to any of us. We were to be left unaware of her departure till it was too late to335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5qXJQ3RjJ
try and stop her...”
“That tall woman in yer party captain, the one with her skin pierced all335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfcqUqRiE4
over and a big spear behind her back, she just wandered into the night. Why,335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKnfMzoUQK
she disappeared as if absorbed by the storm. Off she went into those raging335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG13Ewrt3BQ
white blizzards, the likes which I’ve never seen in all my years living here.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DCb9hUaxL
She left behind only the coin to pay your bill and the instructions for my silence. Not to say335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo15PDk245
a word I was, not until morning came.”
“The innkeeper did as she was told Red, and so only by morning time, did we learn335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5zpekIJ1R
of what had transpired during the night.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvB0JHmZCo
We were all so very exhausted from the hardships we had faced up to that point, that335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmwz4qrwbF
none of us were in any condition to notice someone as skilled as Elistia taking leave.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDbo8xojxu
We were too tired to notice most of the things we usually do, too tired to keep our335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGXNxsT8dy
eyes open whilst at the same time too tired to sleep as well. It was a strange night for335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zqz2c0emf
all of us. We were left behind, speechless around that small table, while Deena went335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO7UspznaP
out after any signs, but no tracker would have been able to find a clue. Not after that335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm3lvs5gJz
storm. Elistia was one of us after all, and one of the Wurad, so no one would ever be335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosdI7MZdIM
able to pick up her trail; not unless she wanted them to.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaJHnNKJ6f
So, what else was there for us to do, rather than mourn?335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwdzp0oKT3
We had our time of silence for the loss of one of our own, one that left us by her own335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0ujs0W2PF
accord, and then shortly after we got back to our duties. I guess we all deep down felt335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ztZhwtgN1
or at least hoped that being one of the Wurad, she had just gone back to her tribe but335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaVcVJf3Vb
in all honesty, to this day, none of us can claim to know for sure where she was headed335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiQjKvFFwm
and what intentions drove her.
