[between Shadow's Embrace and Next morn...]

The evening before…

Stryker gazed hesitantly over the soft mist kissed grass, making her way to the edge of the woods. A look of sadness caressed her already delicate features, a sadness that could never change. Reaching the tree-line, she looked back over at the tavern, knew that it was safe, then took a few steps forward, parting the leaves carefully with her hands.

Making her way through the woods, following an invisible trail she knew by heart, she found her secret place, a place where she could think in peace, a place where not even Ina knew of. Her eyes close as she senses her way to the rock, sitting down upon it slowly.

“Why?”

Still lost, after all these years. Though she loved her place here, guarding the tavern, she missed times of war and chaos. The Underworld, lost to her now. Opening her eyes, she suddenly was overcome with anger, her light violet eyes blaring with hatred.

“Lloth, why did you do this to me! My life… a game to you!”

As she screamed, a faint laughter breezed through the trees, taunting her, goading her anger. Tears, locked inside for so many years, started to fall gently, warping her face with pain and torment.

Forcing herself to lay back, she wiped her tears, and starred up at the night’s sky, watching the stars, and the treetops sway in the evening breeze. After long, she was in a dream-like state, her past haunting them, as they always do.

…She knew she’d been had. Only moments ago, she sat searching through the rubble, searching for any sign of Arwyn. She knew she was there, or why else would she have been sent? Hearing something in the distance, she looked up, spotting her House’s rivals there, watching her every move. “Xsa`ol!” she muttered to herself.

Running now, trying to escape from them. She could have stood and fought, but she knew the idea was moot, too many of them. Finding passages, she made her way back home, breathing heavily…

Sitting up quickly from the rock, she wiped the sweat that had begun to gather on her forehead. Sighing, she glanced out over the small area. Some comfort here. Standing and stretching, her body popped with stress. Somehow, she had to go back, but knowing her life would cease prematurely.

A light evening breeze came through the door as it opened, and a figure covered by a black hooded robe entered as silently as the wind itself. He made his way to the first person he came to that appeared to be a member of the tavern staff, and looked at them from the shadow of his hood. When he spoke, his voice was soft yet firm.

"I seek your mistress. Take me to her."

::Styker laughs softly, but her laughter held no amuzement::

My mistress? I assure you, I have none. Now, as to the proprietor of this establishment, she's...out.

(Hrm.. I had assumed that I'd have snagged someone else to take me to you. Not for you to be the first I'd find. But oh well. *grin*)

"Indeed. It seems you have done as I asked anyway."

He reaches up and pulls the hood down, revealing his pointed ears sticking out from beneath his just-past-shoulderlength steel hair.

"Hearing that you were serving in a tavern was hard to believe. It appears my sources were correct."

::Taken aback for a moment, her eyes twinkle softly::

How..how did you find me? It has been... a while since I left.

::A small smile grazes her face::

Certainly, it has been a long time.

Twist seems to relax for a moment as he stops to look around the establishment. He grins slightly as he takes the nearest seat.

"I have my ways. And its been nearly a year. But since I was passing this way anyhow, I figured I'd stop by and find out for myself just why it is you left."

Yes, tell me why you ran. I was enjoying my stalking of you.
