A/N: Well, finally an update, eh? Took me quite long, I know that. However - the update is now complete and I'm working on next chapter, I swear!

Disclaimer: I don't own Neverwinter Nights, Shadows of Undrentide, Deekin, ... I own only Elvorfiring Greyn. Damn!

She fell to the ground. Her whole body hurt like hell but she forced herself to stand again. Her mind was racing. 'Deekin... where is Deekin?'

She staggered out of the room she was held in. Down the corridor... Go down the corridor... She stopped. 'What the hell was this?' The voice in her head was silent for a moment. Go down the corridor... Find Ashnara... Slowly she started to walk where the voice commanded her to.

o.O.o

"Errr, boss?"

Elvorfiring hid the tired moan. "Yes, Deekin?"

"Deekin wants to thank his boss for saving Deekin. His tail bes itching and as stone he can not scratch himself. It bes good he bes not stone anymore!" He stopped and thought for a moment. Then he added: "But... boss?"

"Hm?"

"Do boss knows how long boss and Deekin bes stone?"

Elvorfiring froze on place. 'Hells, that's something I haven't thought before!' "Well, I'm not sure, Deekin. It could be hours, days... weeks or months, before Ashnara found us and took with him."

Deekin excitedly waved his pen feather. "That bes great plot, boss!" He started to write. "'And our brave boss and her faithful kobold companion walked deeper into the darkness of Undrentide, not knowing...'"

'Hm, not knowing,' thought Elvorfiring sourly. 'Is there actually anything we know? I sincerely doubt it.'

Leading the way further into the shadows of Undrentide she thought about the days of "glory", days of being on the surface together with her friends, wind flowing all around her and rising her cloak and hair behind her, with sun shining. Here, all the light she could have was a chip of wood or... or the necklace she got from him. Him...

o.O.o

Crying out she struck with her sword one last time. The golem she was fighting fell with loud creaking to the ground.

"That be our last golem, boss!" exclaimed Deekin happily and started to write on one of his scrolls again. She just closed her eyes as a sudden wave of tiredness washed over her. 'Come back.' Said the voice in her head. She felt slight tugging towards Ashnara's camp. He was calling her and she couldn't do otherwise than obey. Gritting her teeth she started to walk there.

"Come on, Deekin, Ashnara wants to speak with us."

Deekin looked on her with big eyes and his mouth agape. "Boss? How be you knowing it? Deekin needs to know for his book!"

o.O.o

She woke up to the sound of the flag-feather creaking on the piece of parchment.

"And so our faithful kobold companion followed his boss whenever she went. And then - our brave kobold companion noticed that his socks need changing..."

Holding back a giggle she closed her eyes once again. Yes, Deekin could be annoying as hell - but he was also friendly, funny and loyal. 'That means he has more positives than negatives,' mused she for a moment. He was the first person she ever met who spent most of his free time by writing his book - and when she heard him saying aloud what he's gritting, she was tempted to borrow his book for a short time to see herself. But he never let her see - "it's not finished, boss!" Hey - she's his boss, she's one of the characters - and yet she has to wait - just like everyone else - until he finishes his story. Only then she will finally be able to read it. Quite hilarious situation.

Finally opening her eyes she stood up. "Come on, my faithful kobold companion - we have one last "wind" to catch - we better get moving. The sooner we get it, the sooner we will be able to stop Heurodis and you will have enough time for organization of your book."

And so they fought their way through the library. Most of the tomes were destroyed. Then Deekin found several books which seemed to be in better condition. Elvorfiring started to read the first one, "The beggars love."

Poof! She appered is some unknown forrest. Near her was a crying man. From what she saw she could tell that he was somehow... deformed. He noticed her and spoke:

"Who are you? Have you come to see my suffering? Or to throw a stone on me as the others?"

"I don't know why I should throw anything on you. Who are you? And what happened to you?"

The man sighed. "I'm William Rey, a cripple. And a beggar. I fell in love with beautiful Jendra - but when her foster mother found out that she returns my love, she sent her to the temple over there. I'm afraid that she's dead now."

She felt sorry for him. "I can go there and try to rescue her, William."

"You... would?" asked William with raising hope.

"Yes, William. Just tell me everything you know about that temple."

And so he did. He picked every little detail he could remember and told her about it. But when she fought the priestesses in the temple, Jendra was already dead, sacrificed to a summoned demon. Sadly, she went back to William to tell him about this.

But then she noticed another book - „On nature of Hell". She picked it up and started to read. Poof! Again, she was on completely different place - it was hot place, looking exactly like the Hell, promised in the book's title. Carefully, she walked towards the fire before her.

"Who are you? Someone, who came to torture me, Karsus, in my punishment?" asked man, appearing in the fires - completely out of nowhere. Elvorfiring almost fell to the magma, surrounding the tiled way.

"Eh? Don't take me wrong - I've happened to be here... just incidentally, really..."

The man before her nodded his head. "And who you are then?"

"I'm Elvorfiring Greyn, currently on the quest for recovering the Wise Wind. Have you seen it by any chance?"

Karsus shook his head. "I have no idea, Elvorfiring Greyn, what this Wide Wind is. Here you find no one - just me, trapped here for the all eternity... It will be better, if you leave." He gestured behind him - obviously there was some kind of way out for her.

She nodded, expecting this being everything he wanted to say. But when she was passing him, he took her by hand. "Please, take the ink you find on the table. I think that you will need it more than me. My confession is already written..."

Again, she found a book, "The confessions of Karsus". Reading it - confession of one villain - she disappeared again, appearing in the library. Deekin was obviously relived to see her again.

"Deekin? We have several things to do... how do you feel about story re-writing?

o.O.o

"Boss? You be sure you want to finish the stories like this?" asked clearly disgusted Deekin. Elvorfiring nodded. "Yes, Deekin, I'm sure. You weren't there... William and Jendra deserve their happy ending. And Karsus... he deserves his redemption. So the stories will end like this."

She wrote one last word into each of the books. "End." Opening it, she appeared in "Love" first. She was greeted by sight of happy William, no longer a cripple but a knight and Jendra, alive and happy. Smiling sadly, she "jumped" into Karsus tale, spoke with archangel and left the story as well, followed by two voices. "We will help you..."

"Boss? Deekin found one last book - it be empty. Deekin thinks boss should write a story about Deekin and boss capturing the Wind there."

She smiled. "Okay, Deekin, pass to book over to me. And come on, you will have to help me..."

This time, both of them appeared in beautiful forest, together with Sir William and Karsus. Together they tracked and caught the Wind.

The Three Winds were theirs. Now Heurodis will pay for what she has done.

o.O.o

"So you think you can stop me now?"

'Hell, I should have known that she won't be sane when we get here!'

Heurodis turned to face them. Elvorfiring started to shield her eyes - but the snakes around Heurodis' head looked dead. And her eyes... empty. 'She sacrificed her eyes to the mythalar...'

She quickly counted her chances. 'Well, the Undrentide is flying - but just because of the power of mythalar. If I destroy the mythalar crystals, the Undrentide will fell. If the Undrentide will fell, it will kill Heurodis. But we get killed as well. But if...'

Attacking Heurodis she cried: "Deekin, destroy the crystals!"

Heurodis started to scream. "No! You won't stop me! You won't stop Undrentide!"

"Watch me," snarled Elvorfiring. Although she was fighting insane Heurodis, she kept watching Deekin from the corner of her eye. 'Run, Deekin, run!'

Finally, the last of the crystals was broken. Heurodis' screams were ended by one final hit of Elvorfiring's sword. She fell to the floor. Elvorfiring started to search through her bag desperately. Then she found what she was looking for - portable door, leading to the sphere of shadows.

Although she and Deekin didn't know that, they left this sphere just before the Undrentide hit the ground.
