Anori was lead to the dungeon, but she didn't care. Before she had been found as the sole heir, the prophet Velen's lost and only granddaughter, she had lived in poverty, this wasn't any different, maybe a bit more of a stench, but not that different. She'd sooner die of starvation then Tell anything to the Sin'dorei. Asmodeus, Blade, who are you really? she thought, where he walked prisoners were forced to bow, along with the sentries and every one else. Only she and him were remaining standing. She didn't get it, a normal general didn't get that type of attention. She got that attention, not that she wanted it. Cause, no she didn't, she didn't like this new life with all the pompous suitors and the 'correct court manners', a new way to Talk, walk, and even act. She didn't like being referred to as "Priestess Anori" or "Princess" or "Honored one." None of them were her, none. To her, she was just Anori, the orphaned draenei woman. That's how it should have been, but no, they just had to find her.

"Get in," Asmodeus said opening the door to a cell. This one actually had a window and a mattress, "It gets quite Drafty in here so if you need a blanket or something just ask next time I come." he whispered, his voice different, softer, like velvet.

"Thank you," she whispered and walked into the cell. The first thing she did was pull the cot and mattress over to the window.

"Anori." Anori jumped at the closeness of Asmodeus' rough 'mean general' voice. She hadn't heard him follow her.

"I need you to put this on." He said holding a gold and red bracelet, a glowing emerald in the center. Anori glared at it suspiciously.

"Please just be cooperative, it won't hurt you unless you attempt to escape." Asmodeus whispered in the same velvety voice and Anori reluctantly held out her hand. The bracelet was too big for her wrist, it slipped right off.

"I'll get a different bracelet," he said then turned too a sentry, "Doricaun! don't take your eyes off the captive, the bracelet is too big and i have to get a smaller one."

Doricaun nodded and walked into the cell too keep an eye on Anori. She rolled her eyes, did they really think she'd be that stupid? She had no idea where she was for one, and two there were guards everywhere! she couldn't escape even if the guard called 'Doricaun' wasn't watching her! She sighed and sat on her bed looking out into the twilight lit forest. She felt sleep try to over come her and felt her eyes droop. Then felt a sharp pain on her cheek. She cried out unwillingly.

"What was that for?" she asked the guard, who had just slapped her.

"You are to stay awake until Master Asmodeus comes back." He said in a way that made Anori cringe, It was so cold, so hateful. Tears came to her eyes as she touched her cheek gentally, he could have at least taken off his chain mail gloves. Her skin was reddening, and bleeding, it was going to leave a bruise.

"What happened?" Asmodeus' stony general voice rang out. Some how, even though it was crude compared to his alluring velvety voice, it was more.... caring than the others, more warm. She turned her face away from him as Doricaun replied about her 'disrespect' and 'civil disobedience.' Asmodeus curtly nodded then gave directions for him not to 'punish' the prisoner further and to just watch her as he went and got more supplies. A bit later Anori was still looking out the window when Asmodeus gave Doricaun permission to turn in for the night while he locked up. Anori concentrated on his foot steps as he walked closer.

"Princess? Are you okay? Let me see the wound."

"Don't call me that," She said and turned towards him. There was blood trickling down her cheek and onto her neck.

"why not?" he asked, cleaning up the blood with a warm damp rag.

"Because, that's not who I am, I hate my title,".she said an wince as he dabbed at a deeper part of the wound.

"What do you mean, Priestess Anori?"

"Didn't i just say i don't like titles?" She asked, "To me, you are Asmodeus, or maybe Blade, not 'Master Asmodeus', and I'm Anori, not 'Priestess,' or 'Princess Anori,' Okay?"

"If You say so Anori, but you can't escape who you are, no matter how hard you try," He said, holding out some bread and a mug of water.

"I can try though," she said taking the bread, "Thank you."

"Why don't you take your shoes off?" he asked, reaching for her feet, she automatically pulled them up.

"I'd rather not."

"Why?"

"Because," she said, taking a bite of the bread. surprisingly, it wasn't the usual slightly stale bread that was usually served to prisoners.

"You've perked my interest, show me or I'll use force."

"Make me," she said crossing her arms over her chest. Asmodeus shrugged and used magic to lift her into the air. She immediately went to hold her skirt down and Asmodeus grabbed her leg and yanked her shoe off.

"?" he looked at it, confused. Anori was put back onto the mattress, pulling her foot back. Yes, she didn't have a hoof, she had a foot.

"See? this is why I wear shoes."

"but.... how?"

"My father was an elf, or part elf, nobody knows besides my mother." Anori said, "and she died when I was 9."

"but that's-"

"Impossible? that the Races aren't compatible?" Anori sighed, "I've heard it all before, but obviously they are compatible, people just haven't tried."

"Was he a Quel'dorei or a Sin'dorei, do you know?"

"Obviously not, only mother knew much about him, and maybe even she didn't know."

"I see," he said then looked around, "you know, i can get you a better room, but you would have to cooperate."

"Oh, so that's why your being nice, to get me to trust you!" she said, her eyes almost blazing, "I'm not betraying my people, what ever you say or do."

"If you say so, Princess, but you can't escape telling for long."

"I hate that! don't call me that!"

"It's pretty cold in here." he said then whistled. Nightmare came in with a blanket in his mouth. Asmodeus took it from him and gave it to Anori.

"Get some sleep, you might have a long day tomorrow." He said patting her hand, then snapping a bracelet into place, this one was more delicate and small, it fit her wrist almost perfectly, "And please don't try to resist, it'll only cause trouble." he said, starting to walk out.

"Wait." she said curtly, "you change so fast, who are you really? Blade, the hunter. Master Asmodeus of the Sin'dorei. Or just Asmodeus?"

"To tell you the truth, Princess," he said, some what sadly, "If I could tell you I would, but I really don't know."

With that, he walked out with Nightmare. Anori would have sworn she heard him say something else, but she could tell what it was. Looking out the barred window at the moon, she sighed. She made one mistake, and now she was a prisnor. Pulling her shoe back in place, she took the blanket and layed down. she detected a slight odor from the blanket, but it wasn't at all unpleasent. Thinking about the three different people that made the man known as Asmodeus, she slipped off into a land of peace, where everything was as it should be. The land of sleep.

Anori woke to some one yelling out side her cell's door and banging on the door. Before she could recover some dignity and sit up, a red haired Blood Elf came in.

"Carreau," She said rubbing one of her eyes.

"Rise and shine, you don't have a choice so get up." He said as she looked outside the window.

"It's not even dawn!" She said

"Your point?" he asked, "Come on, get up, lets get going, Asmodeus and the Captain of the Guard want to see y-."

"Wait, wait, wait, and the Captain of the Guard?" She said, "I thought he was the Captain of the Guard."

"Nope, you shouldn't assume," he said almost literally pulling her up from her bed.

"Why do you men always use force to get what you want?" she asked, yanking her arm from his grasp, "I could've gotten up on my own!"

"Well, you didn't move fast enough." he said grabbing her arm again. She glared at him and made her skin crawl with fire, not harming herself, but giving Carreau some minor burns. She gasped, she hadn't even tried to, all she wanted was for him to let go of her. And he did, very fast, his eyes flaring a brighter green with anger.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean t-" She started but he interrupted her by grabbing her chin and yanking her face up to face him.

"Your so small, you should be happy I don't have the temper of most people around here," He let go of her face telling her to follow him as he walked out of the cell. She glared at his back, but was happy that he wasn't a person like Doricaun. She hurried to follow his long strides, but while he was hardly phased by his pace, she was almost out of breath just trying to keep up.

"Hey! Wait up, your legs are way longer than mine!" she huffed. Carreau slowed down, but walked a bit fast so it appeared to others that he was leading her.
