Chapter two:
Rowen, you must wake up now.
Rowen!
Rowen's eyes opened, she thought she heard his voice, yet once again she was imagining it. She sat up in her small bed and looked around.
It had been almost a year since Rahl had been killed by the seeker. Rowen hugged her knees to her chest and sighed. A tear slid down her soft cheek only to be wiped away before it could fall free from her face.
Rahl,
Down in the underworld Darken Rahl sat on a small cliff, he needed a little bit of time for himself. Rahl, he heard her voice echo in his head he knew once again she was shedding tears for him. It broke his heart, not being able to wipe away her tears.
But soon, soon he would be able to again.
Soon, he would return to the land of the living.
Rowen rode into town on her horse; she needed to get more food and supplies. Everyone in the small town knew her by name and face. She mostly kept to herself but occasionally would make conversation.
At that time the Seeker Richard and his friends walked into the town. Cara paid no attention as they walked, her eyes continued to dart around taking in her surroundings.
"Rowen," she said causing the group to turn and look.
Rowen turned and her eyes locked with Cara's. Cara noticed that she was no longer in her black leather and her hair was much longer now. Her eyes grew sad when she saw Rowen's eyes. All the life had left them, now they were a dull grey; no longer the youthful and alive color of silver.
Rowen turned and walked away from Cara's gaze only causing Cara to follow her.
She ran to the town's entrance only to watch Rowen galloping away into the woods.
"Cara, do you know her?"
She sighed, "I did."
"Who is she?"
She turned to look at Richard, "The only person in the world who was Darken Rahl's best friend." But what Cara would say next would send the group into curiosity and confusion.
"Rowen Ahexil was and will be the only woman Darken Rahl ever loved."
Once she had returned home Rowen quickly locked herself inside as she heard Cara approaching.
"Rowen,"
She called but received no answer. "Rowen…Rowen please,"
"Just go away."
Cara heard her say softly and then…nothing.
Cara looked at the door sadly, "I'm sorry," she said before she walked away from the house. Once again Rowen was now alone.
