Chapter 1 -- The silent tears of lonesomeness
Aleytys is sitting under the cherry tree, her hand rest on the carved heart at the bark from the tree.
With a deep sigh she removed her hand from the heart, pulling out her parchments and begins to write.
My Love,
always my thoughts with you, since you start to work as a mercenary in Salkamar.
I miss you terrible, my heart is yearning for you my sweetheart.
The wine is tasteless without you, and life at times grey. I want you near my side, my love.
Please be very careful, I know the job is good for you and we both decided that you have to go .. by the gods.. what can I write, when every breath without you hurts like hell ?
What's the news here ? Not much, not from interest for us. Maybe this one...
Magnus has saved my life another one, a scorpion-sting poisoned me and I am glad that my falcon he found him in the right time. I don't had a antidote.
But not be worried - you know me dear, I'll get over it.
Let me know soon as possible how are you my heart. I'll looking forward to get a letter from you.
In life and death yours
Aleytys
The letter is signed with a little picture from a Nightangel-Blossom

She is staring in a glass of red wine, her facial expression is unreadable. Only in the depth of her dark eyes is seen deep sadness. On the table before her laying a parchment and she starts to write a new letter.
My Love,
I'm in deep worry about you. Since you leave, there are near two months now, there is no letter or sign from you. The time is slow-going without you, the life has lost the taste.
To be honest, I regret our decision.
Edward, my heart, please let me know soon as possible you are well, not in trouble or injured. You so far away, I can't feel you. In my dreams I see your face and hear your voice, then I awake and the cruel world catch me immediately.
The most time I stay in the quiet Varshikar, a bit hunting in the woods, now and then.
I hate to talk with people and the loneliness of the desert or the mountains are welcome, very welcome.
I miss you so much my sweetheart
Aleytys

She awake from a cruel dream, a terrible nightmare. With a confused gaze she's turning around, seen that she still sit on this secret Place in the mountains which Gryphius had shown her.
Her throat pains a bit from the yell, which she has done with Gryphius towards Salkamar.
Edward! Send your lady a note, you filthy old bugger! Do it now! yelled Gryphius and after a little while she does the same with all strength
Edward... don't let me alone, Please.... a single word...
She's facing the ocean again,a single tear appears and running down her cheek as she whispering to herself
Where are you my precious love ?? Where are you ?

A dark spiral of smoke rose high up to the sky from the still smoldering ruins of the small village. He was sitting on a rock in middle the rubble and ruins, thinking about the events of the past days. The company that he had enlisted on had been tracking the band of bandits.. or more likely - other mercenaries - for some weeks now in the rural, southernmost parts of Salkamar. The bandits had been raiding the villages, sparing none and thus severely disturbing the flow of goods from the logging camps and mines of the region into the towns further north.
The bandits knew their business suspiciously well, evading their pursuers most of the time. Some nasty skirmishes had been fought, mainly between the vanguard of the pursuers and the rearguard of the bandits.. like today. It had been a short, nasty little fight with a couple dozen dead or wounded on both sides. As usual, more soldiers had perished to diseases and wounds rather than in the skirmishes and encounters. Not that Edward felt any particular compassion towards anyone else.
Money and power had the tendency to make things complicated.. More and more so, when the stakes of the game increased. Everyone was playing their own game, trying to profit most out of the sitiuation. The officials and merchants who had hired the company were most likely the ones who most profited from the southern trade, whereas the employers of the 'bandits' were most likely the merchants from north. The captain of the Company, a very unscrupulous Albarian, sold the captured villagers alike as slaves to his Albarian countrymen whenever he knew he could get away with it. The mercenaries on both sides got a decent pay. Everyone was content.. except, maybe the villagers. Then again.. their suffering was none of his concern.
Now, he was sitting there.. with a quill in his hand and a parchment on his knee.. trying to scribble some words to Aleytys.. his woman.. his precious..
He had missed her a lot.. but this was the first time he could just sit down somewhere.. alone..
Slowly, the quill begun to draw some spidery letters on the parchment and his lips curled to a small smile.
"To my precious
I'm sorry that I have not been able to write to you earlier, my sweet Allie. I think I have received all your letters and knowing that you are alive and well has made my life easier in the forest. Life is dirty, nasty and short in these parts of the world.. and even the beer is watered down.. but don't you worry about me. I'll come back to you someday, my night angel. You are in my thoughts.
Your man
Edward"
He would have to take the letter to one of the supply-cart drivers later, when they would arrive. After neatly folding the paper and placing it into his pocket and begun to glance around the ruins with an indifferent gaze. The indifference changed into boredom until he suddenly spotted a little hatch that was partially covered by dirt and soil, apparently leading to a small cellar. A familiar grin appaered on his lips as he rubbed on his chin.
"I wonder.. if I could find a keg of beer down there.. my throat is dry as the desert.."

She's leaning on the cold, hard gravestone with closed eyes. All the other's are sleeping, but she can't.
Many Pictures rushing through her mind, the Lich and his Minion,the Lich grabbing at her feet, Elisai and Nayeli, the disappointed Gryphius.
About the Minion, named Rothonor,..... the first moment she saw this man she was pretty sure that he was deep involved in this Story. With all her senses she had knowing this and she was right.
Her lips are dry, and she licks slowly over it, thirsty..
Taylor, Gryphius, Kevin ... would she be missed ? Their is no chance to escape, behind the wall Dominic heard strange noises and Taeryon had felt strong Manastreams. With a sigh she open her bag and pull's out carefully the little parchment with the spidery lettering from Edward.
She had read his sentences again and again...she can't get enough. The only sign that she had from him,
* Oh my love, I'll try to survive, for you... I promise Edward, I promise *

Her dark eyes gazing the Girl. Nayeli wallow herself in feverish dreams in the bed. With her cool hands she strokes gently over her forehead and the Girl stops to struggle with a soft sigh.
A reluctant small smile appears on her Lips, it was strange, but she liked this Girl, the mysterious proud Nayeli.
Careful she withdraws her hands from Nayelis forehead and turns to the writing table with the ink, parchment and the quill.
My love,
unfortunally I was jailed in a dungeon by a Lich. Yes .. I'm more ore less accidently trip in a dangereous adventure.
I survived, for the moment, barely I guess.
But a new Nightmare is in my dreams now. The Lich tortured before my eyes a Man and turned him to a Skeletton. It was gruesome and in my ears I hear his yell, always. I can't show fear at this moment... but now..
I try to forget this another day...
My heart missing you Edward, I yearning for your touch and I read the few sentences which you have send to me over and over again.
I'm not able to write more at the moment, I watch over a nice girl with high fever. She's proud like me in this age.
My thoughts with you my love, my heart, my everything
Aleytys
She reads over the parchment with a sad gaze, then folding it accurately and laying it in her bag.
Turning to the bed again she's taking the hand from the girl with a thoughtful gaze in Nayelis sweet and innocent face.

In her lap lie a wrapped object. She stares hesitating and thoughtful on it and put it then back in the chest.
Not yet, not in this moment.. but one day Romeo I will look in this mirror. What I really miss you can't give me or imagine. But you have touched a hidden point. Only Edward has managed this, the only man which touched this point before. I'm not sure .. is this good or bad...Romeo wherever your are at the moment, I wish you luck
She stands up slowly from her kneeling position and leaves the shop toward the NorthGate.

Aleytys lies backwards on the icy ground and tears run like a stream down to the snowy ground.
The Fortune-teller had left her behind very confused, more then ever she feels so damn lost and alone.
She hears the voice from the old woman in her mind again and again
It will, but it may not be what you expect. Fortune comes in many forms.....
I believe he is alive, yes........
I am sorry I could not be of more help...
Memory's pushing through her mind,
Edward sitting in the Tavern, whispering sweet little nothings in her ear,
Edward dancing with her in the sparkling moonlight, holding her close in his strong arms,
Edward with his mocking and indifferent gaze looking at others,
the *hothead* Edward with his narrowed eyes
A desperate cry breaks out of her chest, only a name... EDWARD
He has stolen her heart and now she feels the coldness to overcome her more and more, the darkness reaching out the claws to drag her back.
All fades to grey, fades away... and no one would be able to help her to find back.
It was a fault to speak with this fortune-teller, the pain piercing her heart and her fists hitting hard in the snow again and again..... helplessly

More then 5 Months now he was away, more then 5 months she's living in a grey world. Her smile was just a rare event, she avoid friends and enemy's in equal measure.
The only creature she enjoyed to speak really was strangely Barz, an Orc. He can't remember her on a man, not on Edward, Connor or Faran.
Sitting in the narrow shade from a huge rock in the middle of the desert she has a parchment in her hand and read over the lines she has written to Edward.
My love,
always you let me in fear, the fear you don't return to me, the fear you are mortally wounded, laying alone in the middle of nowhere in Salkamar.
This few words, which arriving me a lot of weeks before, I have read over and over again. Now the parchment looks thin and the font is nearly unreadable. But its the only bond I have to you... to you my love.
I spend my times alone, avoiding the most people, sitting in the desert or under our cherry tree, lost in memory's, lost in my love to you my dear.
This bitter-sweet feelings dominating me, dominating all.
My thought to take a ship and sailing toward Salkamar grows up, stronger and stronger.
Let me know dear, please let me know where you are and if you are well being.
For now and ever yours
Aleytys
Carefully she take the letter away and stand up. The sun burning brutal and hot on her face and she covered it with her black hood. A scorpion cross her way and she pierce this poison beast forceful in the sand with her blade.
Then she stump through the yellow sand toward Varshikar , a black small figure, lost in her own world ...

Wrapped in Blankets and Furs she lay in the shelter from the hedge. But the sleep flee from her, too much was in her mind.
Dalan.... a Albarian knight, he of all people accomplish that she feels much better for the moment. He's just a good company, she thought.
For what a person he is looking and searching ? He avoid a direct answer.
Think logical Aleytys .. he's an Albarian. Who comes from Albar ?
Suddenly she widens her eyes and she lift up quickly her body in a sitting position, not noticing that the blanket and fur sliding to the snowy ground.
Then she bites her lower lip and a cold smile appears on her lips.
Good then, there is something amiss, but when my assumption is right my dearest knight... maybe we dance a deadly dance, soon. But who care's at the moment ? The time will show
She grabs the fur and blanket from the ground, wrapping them around her body, in this chilly quiet night.
Her face becomes suddenly a sad expression and she whispers with a barely audible voice :
Edward I miss you so much

Her bitter gaze rest on the fire as she looked down. With a deep sigh she leans on the pinnacle from the east gate and the icy wind forcing tears in her eyes.
Her whole mocking behaviour was nothing, only a façade, which she was able to hide her feelings.
Ashayen had looked over her as she was insane and her slightly harsh answering was understandable.
" I'm already thus desperate that I need to ask her ? Ashayen feels that she wasn't worth to get a single word from Edward. You're simple a fool to ask her of all people. "
She lowers her body along the pinnacle to the ground and takes out the stuff to written a new Parchment.
My love,
could you please hurry to write an answer ? My feelings torturing me, let me do foolish things. And I have to mention that you Ashayen hurt as well.
You have said you're a friend, but she's not worth a single word from you ?
Edward, I love you ... but its hard to live, so hard. And it seems you doesn't care about my and Ashayen's feelings.
Or you are injured ? That my nightmare my love..
I can't hardly wait longer for an answer... I swear I am short before to do a damn folly ... you lacerate my heart
Aleytys reads over the parchment, her gaze colder as ice, as a single tear
blaze a trail over her pale cheek. Then she take the Parchment and pull it into little pieces, open the palm of her hand and let the wind blow the bits and pieces away...
She lowers her dark eyes to the ground and mumbles quietly :
He has to fight for his life, you probably should stop to whining. Grow you up to a wimp Lady ?

By the gods - should that damn day never end ?
So she thought as he leave her, few words mumbling, but she don't pay any attention to his muttering. Curving into a ball she sat on the log, a quiet, but painful hard sob is to hear. Then ---- silent. Only the waves which crush upon the near shore give the silent a voice.
No man treat me in this manner --- NO MAN. His gaze, his goddamn gaze, full of mercy. I'm so miserable in his eyes ? He said I'm stuck on my manly proud. HAH....Albarians. He has no clue, not the faintest idea who I am.
She gazes the campfire and her deep dark eyes reflecting the flames.
He's really like all other fools. Forget him, forget him immediately so the icecold voice rushes through her head.
But nonetheless she's still sitting like a curved ball onto the log --------

The waves hitting against the ceilings of the ship made it incline steadily from one side to other. He was laying on a bunk inside the peace of his own cabin, listening to the creaking of the wooden boards around him. It was good to be free again. He raised the bottle of wine to his lips and took a long sip. Alcohol, his first real love. It had got him into trouble again.. bigger than usual. After the campaign had ended due to approaching winter, the remaining mercenaries had returned to the coast. Staying true to the ancient customs of the soldier-kin, they had celebrated their newly gained wealth by getting extremely drunk.
The loudmouthed bastard had nearly died or so that old medico had said. Well, Edward had indeed given him a good beating. He had told the fool not to disturb him when he was drinking wine and trying to craft some letters, but no.. the idiot just didn't take a heed. Edward was compelled to ask hard, not that he really didn't mind. Both of them got what was coming for them. The loudmouthed one was eating his food through a straw and Edward was crushing rocks at the quarry for months, simply because some nosy fool hard called the guard. Those well-meaning idiots would be his death someday.
Loud shouting from the deck and even louder creaking as the anchor began to descend towards the seabed interrupted his thoughts. Quickly he gathered his few things, stepped out of the cabin and walked up the stairs that led to the deck. His lips curled to an amused smirk as he saw the familiar harbor right there in front of his eyes.
"I am here again, my woman."
He had paid his dues. Now he was back.

Chapter II
The Knight or If changes occur Lifes
Drudgingly she open her eyes. The upcoming cold Winter-Sun draws lucent, sparkling lights through the tree. She glances confused around, trying to figure out what happened. She noticed the huge blooded spot in the snow under the tree and at the same Moment her memory rushing back.
Wolves-- a pack
Aleytys lifts carefully her body up and the pain strikes her upper right leg suddenly with force. She swallows hard, noticing he has left. So -- NO one knows where she was... Edward wouldn't care immediately and then at first searching in the mountains behind Varshikar.
A small weak smile appears in her snowwhite face
"He's back, finally. But he was so -- strange...You're back and I'm deep in trouble I guess, sweetheart. Your Lady was so dumb to go out only with one little dagger. Must be the surprise to see you .."
she mutters quietly.
No Parchment, no ink, no possibility to move away.
She noticed the throb in the deep Bite on her tigh and shake her head, she noticed furthermore her heated body and the feverish feelings.
"Not good, not good at all"
she mutters again.
The only little chance was simple Dalan, but she doubt that he would come back........ Why ? He had no reason to do so ...
She lowers her hand to the ground, grabbing a handfull snow to quench the arising thirst. A shivering fit rushes through her body. With a slightly helpless expression on her face, she lowers her body back to the ground and closing her eyes again ....
The Knight or If changes occur Lifes
Drudgingly she open her eyes. The upcoming cold Winter-Sun draws lucent, sparkling lights through the tree. She glances confused around, trying to figure out what happened. She noticed the huge blooded spot in the snow under the tree and at the same Moment her memory rushing back.
Wolves-- a pack
Aleytys lifts carefully her body up and the pain strikes her upper right leg suddenly with force. She swallows hard, noticing he has left. So -- NO one knows where she was... Edward wouldn't care immediately and then at first searching in the mountains behind Varshikar.
A small weak smile appears in her snowwhite face
"He's back, finally. But he was so -- strange...You're back and I'm deep in trouble I guess, sweetheart. Your Lady was so dumb to go out only with one little dagger. Must be the surprise to see you .."

After a restless short sleep she open her burning eyes to stare in the clear blue, but cold, sky.
Her thoughts wandering through the last events.
Edward, its just like an Illusion that he was really back. Her heart jumped wildly around as he stood so suddenly before her. The reunion was slightly clouded as Ashayen comes and disappointedly, cold acted against him. His mood was crashed. He started a *walk* and left her .... again.
A deep sigh escape from her lips. And then she had this damn idea to clear up the things with this Knight, Dalan.
She was so angry about his *normal* unfriendly and rude behaviour.
Otherwise -- who cares ?
Edward was returned and he should found back in the normal life after a while.
She makes the final move to sit up, her hands grabbing at the log and a sigh, full of pain, is to hear. She grit her teeth with force and shifts the weight on the left side.
Finally she managed to make two steps toward the smoulder campfire. With narrowed eyes she gazing at the small rest from the wood and another deep sigh is to hear.
About the pain in her disabled leg she perceive that the deepest wound bleeding again.
Aleytys Lamar, you're maybe the asinine woman which live on this whole Island. One day your proud will kill you... maybe this day is nearer as you imagine....
She was in in a deplorable condition, that's the matter of fact ... but she was Edwards Allie...
As she lowered, more like a collapse, her body to the ground again, a loving smile rest on her lips and she mumbles with a barely audible voice
I need only a bit sleep, only a bit rest ....

The terrible nightmares hunting her in feverish dreams and she awake, breathing heavily. The sweat dripping from her forehead, running burning in her eyes and her clothes soaked from sweat.
With an angry wipe she rubbing over her eyes and hair-line, shivering.
The fire was out and the chilliness grovels slowly through her moisture clothes.
I must find a way to go back to the town... I must, or I get lost here
she's whispering to herself powerless.
Her gaze rest on a bunch of branches. She creep slowly the few meters to the place and begins accurate to search through the branches. Two strong of them she's laying aside, one to the right, the other to the left side from her.
With a torturous sigh she's pulling her body in a falter standing position. After few minutes with closed eyes she begin to limping away from the place .... very slowly, step by step ...

OVER .. its Over
This sentence rushes through her mind again and again.
What have you done Edward Cromwell? What have I done to deserve this ... I wasted my time, my heart , my tears , my feelings on you...You treat me with hate, like a whore. I have waited so long for someone like you and now you slipping away in this manner ? You will regret your words, bitterly. I swear this.
You're breaking me, abandon me from the life.. you have to die , you spineless drunkard.
She yelled in the cold night sky. YOU DIE, HEAR IT --- YOU BASTARD
A short thought goes to Dalan and the last night which he had cared for her. But her emotions to strong to take the threat and calm down. Also he was a Man... MAN, how she detest MEN'S. Edward had spit out before her... called her a whore, a empty shell , a wench ....
Not able to realize the happening truly, not able to eat or drink she stumble in her beloved woods, not caring for her wounded leg or anything else, deeper and deeper... Her heart bleeding, crucified in pain...
Only one thing in her mind... the dead body of Edward Cromwell before her feets ...

Day by Day, hour by hour slipping away. She has simply lost the feeling for time. The only thing she's managing was to survive in the wilderness.
Her dreams in the nights full of unbelievable pain, faces and hate, merging in a cruel spiral. In the daylight a restless stumbling through the woods.
Now again sitting at a small fire, but still the coldness in and around her wouldn't vanish. The question in her mind over and over again : *WHY ?? *
His Name - Edward - caused a storm of senses in her, a dark vortex, at the end waiting deadly hate, hate which can be only defeat with blood.
Yet, a slight hope, she can stop this.
" Dream on mocking sister, dream on that you are stronger than his drunkenness. Dream on that you're stronger than I. No more I disallow that he torture us mentally again. The time is come to face the life again mocking one ! I have detested him always and I regret my decision not to kill him earlier. What a big mistake. "
Her eyes two dark sparkling obsidians staring in the fire, grabbing with a very slow movement a burning branch. Her gaze wandering to the tattoo at her nameless finger...the glowing forefront barely over her hand with the tattoo ...
"
" You're not able to fight when you burn out this thing ... " so the voice of sanity rushing through her mind.
Careful she withdraws the branch from her hand and let it glide into the fire again, her facial expression shows mourning, icy wrath.
" I just need to find a way this tattoo to rid off... it's a must, a must for my survival. And you - Edward Cromwell - you owe me more than an answer ..
before I kill you.

She awakes from a quiet snore on her side. Careful she lift up her head from his shoulder to look in his face. With a smile she eyed his calm face as a bitter malicious laughter appears in her head.
Interesting -- very interesting that love can be a weapon to destroy a man's pride. You know he isn't a danger for us, his leaving is unavoidable and he will never be the same man in his home town as before. His heart will be yearning for your touch and he will desire to see you again. Nice......
The same laughter reecho in her head.
Her hand raises over his face and she draw slow his lines in the air, still fixed her dark midnight eyes in his face.
Shut up cold one. Love hurts and love heals. Edward has nearly killed the little one, our child. She avoid to speak with us and her pain is unbelievable. This is our aim my dear-- he have to die for this. But this man has accept me, without much knowledge and questions. Its true - he will leaving soon, but this precious moments in time, this love at first sight and for a little time will stay in our both hearts, give us warmness and strength for life. So don't dare to do anything against him and my will. He had simple lay his pride beside , a real man with strength and the bravery to face his feelings.
With a soft, barely audible, sigh she leans back in his arms, snuggling close to him... closing her eyes whilst she listen the quiet snore.

The wounds he sustained in the battle were slowly getting better. She was indeed faster than before, or he was simply getting slower. Maybe he had wanted to die.. he had been at her mercy. Yet, the mad wench had been unable to finish him, despite the sharp blade that pointed on his throat. The battle had lasted long, and it had finally proved that there was nothing but coldness between the two.. and maybe some sort of respect. Sort of.

Varshikar.. her refuge.
But in her dreams she always remind the last scene, the moment she could kill Edward with one movement. The tip from her sharp blade on his throat, his cold emerald eyes.
At this moment a scream in her head, loud and full of pain appeared .. " NO, NO... not kill him, not kill Edward. I love him, you can't kill him. I....... NOOOOO"
She wasn't able to do the final hit, freezed inside as the little one speaks to Edward "*Edward, you have kill me, will you kill the others too? Why, tell me why ,Edward, was ALL not enough for us ???*
It was such as she stand by her own side, everything in slow motion, the poison from his blades rushing through her veins, her blood streams from the wounds on her waist and leg to the ground. As he leave finally with the statement " God's know " and limping away, bleeding, like her, from several deep wounds, but not poisoned, she managed to staggers in direction to Varshikar, but not a long distance and a deep swoon, a final darkness, overcome her.
The next hours confusedly splinters, Dalan's face, he carry her on his back the long distance to Varshikar, Maggie stitching her wounds, forcing her to drink antidote ...
Dalan and Maggie had saved her life.
Dalan, which god has send an albarian knight to rescue her life and why ? His severe amorous fondness was balm on her wounded bleeding heart.
He put aside his manly proud and haughty behaviour, knowingly he probably would regret it bitterly in the future.
With a faint smile she strokes over her lips, just feeling the sensation of his bittersweet tender kisses.
This will be took a long time my dear.. your wounds healing, but your heart and the little one maybe never again, she would be lost in Edwards love.
With closed eyes she seen his face, and hear his whisper in her ear again
"Without you there is no Edward. Only the cold-hearted bastard and no prince charming.. Steel and fire. Hate and indifference.. You are the only person I really care about.. more than about myself.. My sweet little Aleytys you are so precious to me..: I don't want this to end ever, Aleytys.. ever.."
He had healed her soul and disrupted again..
She's not able to weep any more, no tears, no hate, only this deep black mourning and the pain from the little one which only wish to die harrowingly now ...

Making her round in Varshikar she has a lot of time to thought about Lady Dracu, Pellandria and .. once in a while.. Dalan. Since she was healthy again she haven't seen him and she ponders about the reason. Maybe he had left the Island without a word.
Would you be astonished about this fact ? Due to the fact that he is a man is this rather supposable that he doesn't care a straw about you, my dear.
As the cold voice spread out in her head she bites her lower lip. It wasn't enough that her first way to Trolls Bane crossed Edward's way, no, it seems Dalan was the same man like all others.
She was lost in thoughts as she reminds the talks she have with Lady Dracu and Pell. Poor Pell, she needs truly a thicker skin, she was so lost in love. A mocking smile rest at the corner of her mouth as she mutters quietly with a tone like to convince herself
I'm glad this is behind me. It was a damn hard school but yet I have learned. Edward, you can be glad that I secure you from death with my word. Avalyon, Dominic and a lot others would be happy to kill you for what you have done to me, my dear.
A last glance around the area, to make sure all is fine and she left the town towards the mountains.

With mighty, enraged blows she hit her axe at the tree.
Why you never listen to me? All men are evil, only in this world to hurt you, physically and emotional. All are equal to each other... all men just abuse you, wish to use you only to drop you afterwards. "
The laughter which breaking out from her was bitter, despaired.
And for this I should blame you...YOU.. only you are responsible for that her voice faded away after the loud *YOU*
Don't blame me for the behaviour from men. The last example is now Dalan, I guess another man if should be killed. But you are just to cowardly to do the final step.. But time is on MY side, dear.
The tree cracks with a strong noise to the side and hit the ground. She stares at the fallen tree and her gaze wandering to the place on the bark where is a heart carved, the heart shows an E. and A. also the words forever, together.
Her axe damaging the position with few blows, splinters of wood flying around and a hard, dry sob is to hear, drown out the sound of waves crashing upon the shore nearby.
At the following silence she whispers nearly toneless
I'm not a mistake, I'm not a mistake

A closed heart, a place where love has no space. Selfishness, coldness and pride…such are the qualities that dwell inside a closed heart. No room for anything else, not even showing any willingness to allow the room. A dark, gloomy heart, you could say, but it was the opposite for people wielding this kind of heart.
It may almost be considered a miracle if that heart is slowly opened, permitting the inflowing of love and honesty. But this route consists of a long and jarring road. A partly opened heart is in mid way, yet confusion overtakes and subsides the little solution of the good qualities. Deceit was the easy way out of such chaos, but never the good way.
This was the position that Dalan found himself in. He had already felt hints of love, feelings like those felt in absence of the person, or when in close contact with that person. Knowing he’d have to go back to his land some time, those feelings could do no good to him, only harm, or so he thought in his own ways. It was too late, the suffering had started. But perhaps, it was still possible not to worsen the situation. Of course, he put it as ‘worsening the situation’. In reality, it could have easily been enriching and enhancing, but he was too blind to see that.
So what was the answer, the quick and easy answer? Deceit. Easy, as an answer. The doing was much harder, painful too, but at least it was a temporary pain, or so he hoped. He was somewhat good at deceiving her away from his emotions, tricking and misleading the person that had managed to shed light upon his heart. It was funny and pitiful at the same time for such an appearing strong man. He was weak enough to fail to endure the painful blinding suffered by that spray of light.
"It was all a mistake."
That was what he tried to force himself to believe. Quite possibly, he was swindling himself away from the distressing truth as well. That last encounter he had with Aleytys…If she only knew how that everything was a mask of deception. If she only knew…

On her usual night round through the silent town she let pass the last few days in her thoughts.
She always was pierced deep in her heart if she spotted Edward and she feels always so damn helpless against this feeling.
The next event -- it seems that Siltaris and Gryphius finally fall in love to each other. A grin appears and she chuckles, stopping suddenly to nail a scorpion to the ground. They were meant for each other, she nods a bit and her gaze turns into deep concern.
If I get this damn *Shield* in my fingers I hit him in pieces.. that's for sure. And please Mag...try to survive. I wish I could do anything....
A deep sigh escapes as she moves twinkle-toed along, after kicking the dead scorpion into the hedge.
Then, another smile can be seen appearing upon her lips. But its an unusual little and tender smile, soften her face totally. Her gaze rest suddenly dreamy in the blackness, staring to nothing it seems. She whispers gentle to herself
Well... there is someone waiting for you my dear.
She was deeply touched by his words and it was a feeling as would melt a little piece from the coldness away as he told her
*It was you...It was you who forced me to leave everything behind me...to abandon everything...*
He has really forsake his Knighthood, for her ?!
She shaking her head in a astonished manner, her soft voice breaks the silent blackness
My dear, I shouldn't keep you waiting to long then

Chapter III
Charge and Vengeance
She looks over the mess in the depot and begins slowly to separate the *official* things from the private.
Many has changed during the last months, so many. Suddenly she was in charge, in responsibility for a town and the Militia -- and strangely she enjoyed this. Suddenly were her skills and knowledge about fighting and tactics not only importantly for her own protection and pleasure.
This leads her thoughts to Trolls Bane and she shakes slow her head.
Cromwell - Governor, how long had both dreamed of such a chance. And now ? Ridiculous that both have a mighty position, now. She snickers maleficent --
I bet not more then a half year Cromwell and you land again in the gutter with bottles
Suddenly her facial expression changed and she throws rudely some weapons in the stuff bag for the Militia.
Siltaris death - never should be forgotten and forgiven this cowardly crime. Any time she seen the broken Gryphius a deep insensible wrath overcomes her, but she knew what do be done.
Her whisper breaks the beautiful morning peace again
The revenge will come, the vengeance shall be mine. I have time, so much time ...
She hear the noises in the library and a loving smile appears upon her face. Dalan was awaked and grumbles lightly about his armor and weapons.
What he has done for her, without any claim, she wouldn't be able to pay back. He let it be simple her -- no correction. Her whole torn life and mind was accepted, without further words. In her ears the sound from his loving words :
Be...careful with whatever you do, don't..., don't make me feel the way Gryphius has felt.
This proud man, with his stern and rather unfriendly visage would fight with her.. fight until death if it was necessary.
Yes, many has changed the last couple of month ....
Charge and Vengeance
She looks over the mess in the depot and begins slowly to separate the *official* things from the private.
Many has changed during the last months, so many. Suddenly she was in charge, in responsibility for a town and the Militia -- and strangely she enjoyed this. Suddenly were her skills and knowledge about fighting and tactics not only importantly for her own protection and pleasure.
This leads her thoughts to Trolls Bane and she shakes slow her head.

Her eyes.. her hatred filled eyes.. They haunted him for hours after her departure. He sat on the cold grave, leaning his back against the gravestone. His eyes wonder into the darkness of the night, gazing to the stars.
You asked me for a strong, efficient poison, one that can kill... He mumbles slowly to himself, folding his arms over his chest and his feet underneath himself. I will brew you this poison, one so strong that will make the blood boil in the veins and the flesh peel of the bones, eaten from inside. I will make your enemies feel hellish tortures, I will make them scream in agony, begging for their demise, but you ... do not dare to forget the deal! the deal that you have made with the devil.
Slowly he reaches inside his coat, taking out the vial that he had filled with blood.
Blood of hatred and blood of the cursed.
He lifts the vial into the air, in front of his eyes and looking trough it at the newly rised moon, he whispers First ingredient.

As she stand within a blink of an eye in Varshikar, back from the short talk with Avalyon, her dark eyes having still a hard glint, full of hate.
She nods to herself, gazing the stars.
Fine, the first step is done. And if Avalyon means I act as his toy ... oh well then... he terrible misjudge me ...like many others. But let see what Gryphius has to say.. to his *offer*.
She knows about grivjaks death, the gods having own ways for justice it seems. Her cold quiet chuckle is barely to hear as she pace slowly in direction of the desert, conflate with the darkness.

Receiving the Poison from Avalyon was one matter.
Then he tried to claim his *prize*
She let him kiss her lips without showing any emotion, whilst she did grab his ahnds removing it from her waste.
He seemed unsure, for a second- which was enough for Aleytys.
Moving away from him backwards, her eyes colder as ice.
*You can do your black magic on me Ava, but you know also you wont a mindless shell, a puppet. You want ME, my passion, lust and wit at your side.
Wont happen ... Oh and thank you for the gift*
Holding up the vial with a cold chuckle she turned on her heels and moved away.
He didn't even make an attempt to stop or follow her.
Arriving Varshikar she stored the vial carefully away. She knew he would do something.
Which could lead into problems for the town and her friends.
She looks over the ocean and mumbles to herself
" time to make a little journey..let all behind you, would be good. "
With a fast movement she motions to a girl who standing near at the dock, hands her some coppers
Go to Varshikar, give a Man named Dalan Ginthor this letter please
The Girl nods and runs away. Her eyes following the child a moment before she takes her backpack and without hesitate she choose one ship.
Before she climbs up the ship's rail she looks over the harbor. Her midnight eyes showing somewhat of sadness and her whisper was barely audible to hear:
Farewell .. for a while my love. I'll miss you Dalan

She took a deep, a very deep breath as she could see from the ship the landscape she known so well .. Laemaros.
Her thoughts running wildly, shred thoughts flutter through her head ...
What I will see here, why I choose to sail by all the gods of all things here ? ...
This rough sea brings me down, I'm damn tired..
Aly you are a coward, you left Varshikar alone, only for your hurted proud...
I miss you Dalan, I wish you're on my side right now...
It's really needed to face the old home ... there will be maybe nothing as burned ruins ..
Aleytys, you are insane ...
The anchor drops loud rattling in the depth, tear it out of her thoughts.
Determind she grabs the backpack, nods to the sailor near her and steps to the ship's rail ...
