Footsteps sounded on the stairs. Adelienne looked up. He stood there. His eyes searched the room. When they found her, it never left her face. Slowly, he walked towards her. Held captive by his eyes, she was immobile. When he reached her side, he whispered;" I'm sorry. ", and he was gone. The other men jested about it. And she stared around the room, she could not comprehend. Finally she asked, "Who is he?" more to the air than to the rest. The men chuckled, "You'll see, he's famous enough around town." Fiera, a girl she had befriended brought her to a room. There, she told her who he was, and left her quietly to sleep. Adelienne had a sleepless night. She had faked sleep to get Fiera away, she did not need to trouble her new friend. But, there was a big problem. She had a deranged wolf after her and she thought the youth who had brought her here, was loony.
She could not go to sleep. She lay in bed, trying to contact Rilia with her seeker stone. Rilia had tried to contact her. It was obvious, Rilia's stone was used often. She could sense it. She was giving up hope, her energy was running out. Then, a pang sounded. Adelienne sat up in bed. Hopeful, scared and excited all at the same time. She reached deeper, she could feel Rilia there.
She broke off.
The alpha wolf howled at the moon. Suddenly, it turned to look at Adelienne and snarled menacingly. Adelienne backed away. The wolf leapt, it landed snugly in front of her. She scrunched up towards the rock wall behind her, as though hoping to disappear right into it. The wolf calmly examined her from head to toe. It walked back and forth, surveying her every move, smart, black eyes calculating. Suddenly, it pounced at her, Adelienne raised her arms, as though trying to ward it away. She toppled backwards.
She stared into black eyes. The wolf smiled, it was in her. She felt its presence. She had passed his first test, she deserved to live.
Leaving the wolf behind, she walked away. Bright light flooded her vision, she meet green eyes. They belonged to the youth. Fiera was at a corner, she was instructing a healer mage how to take care of her with what spells to use. Upon seeing that Adelienne had woken, she shooed the healer away and told her to follow what she had just explained. The healer rushed off.
Fiera offered a hand, she pulled Adelienne up gently, asking how she felt and what had happened. Adelienne shook her head, trying to clear out the massive headache she had gotten. The youth passed Fiera a cup of water, Fiera put it to Adelienne's mouth, telling her to drink, Adelienne smiled and accepted the water gratefully, for her mouth was parched.
Fiera cautiously asked about her, careful not to intrude too much. As she asked a question, Adelienne would answer in her time, choosing her words selectively.
Their conversation:
Fiera: I heard you come from Korrin? (This is just a make up town. Dun bother abt it)
Ade: Well, yes…
Fiera: How is it there?
Ade: It's… Peaceful.
Fiera: Getting kinda nervous because Ade doesn't seem happy abt answering her qns I haven't heard from my family there, any chance you know them? They live opposite this stream called 'Prevailence Curve' You familiar with that place?
Ade: She's thinking: Why is she asking stupid questions? Is she loony like that psycho who called me Nisha? Uh, yea. I think I met them once.
Fiera: Getting REALLY desperate to ask something that doesn't seem dumb How did you find Cambierres?
Ade: WHO THE HELL IS THAT?
Fiera: Uh, the guy who brought you here?
Ade: Oh, THAT psycho.
Fiera: Really, you find him psycho? Actually, I do too. Just that he is in charge of us and all…
Ade: Are you all forming some psycho association?
Fiera: WHAT! Psycho association? NOOOOOO.
Ade: …Really? Cause it seems like it…
Fiera: We are the T.O.T
Ade: Mithros, what is that?
Fiera: Fine… It isn't the real name… But it's kinda cool…
Ade: Just tell me what you guys do or whatever T.O.T is.
Fiera: Basically… We're thi- oh dear…
Ade: What is it?
Fiera: In a whisper Our conversation isn't private anymore.
Fiera's lime green Gift flowed through her fingers, it slinked to the door, as it went under the door, a shriekLet's just describe it as high-pitched was heard and Cambierres fell face flat on the floor when the door was opened.
"CAMBIERRES!" Shouted the two girls simutaneously.
