Leghilorn met me outside the room. I was slightly confused after my conversation with the Arbiter, but also found myself considering what he told me. What exactly lie in the Holding Chamber, that was so important to them? And why were they trusting me to retrieve it? Especially after he told me I would betray them. I didn't understand his reasoning, and in a way I was glad that I did not. I assume it would have been difficult to comprehend.

The Grunt was gone, and as Leghilorn and I walked to my cell, I spoke.

"Aren't you going to ask what he said to me? I questioned, though not entirely sure why.

He cast me a sideways glance. "I trust he was understanding?"

I wasn't sure what he meant by this, so I didn't answer. He cast me another sideways glance.

"Or perhaps not...? He talked about your mission?"

I nodded. "He spoke of a Holding Chamber."

"Ah," Leghilorn nodded as we neared my cell. "The Holding Chamber. A very important place indeed." He stopped and turned to look at me when I did. "Unfortunately, I cannot tell you what it contains. However, I can tell you that what you must retrieve will make you re-think your view of my kind--as well as your own."

"The Arbiter continuously told me that my loyalties would change," I told him in a soft voice. "I have no confidence that they will."

The Elite looked thoughtful for a moment. I thought he was going to answer me, but instead shook his head and said in a gruff voice, "Let's get going." He gave me the impression that he wasn't supposed to answer me. He gave me a hard shove and I moved forward, back to my cell which was in front of me just moments later.

A/N: A very short chapter update, and I already have chapter 8 written out. For the most part. I apologize for the long wait between updates, but I just could not convince myself to continue right away. I also have updated Night Raven Revised and created a new story called Spongebob Squarepants meets AYE, if anyone would be so kind as to read and review them as well. I'm planning on posting chapter 8 today as well, so I hope you will all forgive my laziness and read and review!
