Darlena heading back into freeport her heart troubled with the thought of her own mother who she can barely remeber helping a human. As she enters the city she notices on of the guards staring at her in fear when she walked by. For some reason this too now bothered her she did not take comfort in his terror.
" You there..." Waving to the guard. " Why do still fear me.?"
" You had your minons kill many of my friends today, I wish it of you that you would make mine quick... I do not wish to suffer as they did." Lowering his weapon.
" I will not kill you, please pick up your weapon."
Darlena moves past the guard an catches a glimpse of herself in the well water. Stopping at the well she gazed into the water still thinking on what Laurnce said to her. Just the she is approached from behind.
" M....M.......mi'lady I beg your pardon but I have something you should see."
Darlena turns to see a barkeep from the smiling serpant inn holding a parchment.
" What is that?"
" Its something the ones you was looking for left behind ... "
"Why did I not see this before?" Takes the parchment from him.
Darlena's widen as she reads it.
" Mi' lady the ones that dropped this said they was going to find this Slyfoots body an return it to here for some purpose I didn't here. I was too scared to recall this earlier."
Darlena felt a since of relief, but get anger as well being lied to and used once again by the man she called father.
" Mi 'lady are you ok?.... Your hair has changed to red."
Darlena glanced back at her reflection in the water, true enough her red hair color had returned. Her father's grip slowly weakening, not going unnoticed by him..
"Naldany I told you to return to me hours ago why have you not do so?" His voice echos in her head.
" Yes, I am fine." She pushes past the man an heads to the coachman.
Thinking to herself that this will be her last meeting with her father, be it his death or her own. She takes a horse an heads straight for neraik. As she nears the river just west of neriak a sudden force knocks her off the horse. As she pulls herself up she notices her father Xamont standing before her.
" Naldany you have been gone longer than I permitted you.. your constant contact with those humans has made you more defiant to me."
" Maybe that is becuase of your lies and manipulation of me." She snaped at him. " Why don't you tell me again why my mother left... the real reason."
" Hmmm the real reason ..... the real reason is she did not agree with my improvements I made to you.. She threaten to have me tried before the church counsel."
Xamont comes closer to Darlena an embrasses her in his arms.
" I couldn't allow her to do such thing an could not bring myself to kill such beauty so I wiped her memory an had her sent far to the west to the Bertoxxulos shadow where she could continue her preistess duties without the burden of knowing of her child's tampering."
Anger begin to swell in Darlena as she took in what he said.
" And Slyfoot was not murdered was she father?" She asked drawning him closer while positiong Slyfoot's dagger.
With a puzzled look on his face."Why do you trouble yourself over a corpse that dared to love a human man."
"Because father she was my only friend..."
With a quick jerking motion Darlena managed to punture his ribs twice before he pushed her away. Blood soaking thru his robe.
"You stupid girl, you would have done well to become my avatar as I had intened for you. " His breathing becoming labored.
Xamont starts to chant something in a low tone, suddenly a short sword an sheild appear in his hands.
Darlena draws her sword ready for his attack.
" If you will not be my living avatar you will serve do that service as an undead puppet." He begins to chant again.
" I would defy you in death too the one you call Naldany is dead my name is Darlena....."
As she finishes her boast she is hit by a powerful force almost knocking her unconsious.
"So be it ...Darlena." He lunges forward with a mighty swing.
Darlena dodges his first attack by inches then retaliates with an attack of her own, but Xamont parrys her attack easily blood continues to pour from his wounds.
" You stand no chance....... against me .........after all I taught you how to......... fight."
" Yes, but your attacks grow weaker all I have to do is out last you."
Xamont lunges again sheild first pinning Darlena's sword against a tree cracking the blade in the process. Xamont smiles with his accomplishment as he swings his sword at Darlena. she releases the sword but not before damage is done.Darlena yells out in pain as his sword his her left arm, luckly her armor took most the damage but still the arm is unable to move.
" Your a bit faster.......... than I thought" He gloated as he walks over to the now wounded Darlena.
"I will make this a clean kill ." Kneels over to her grabbing a lock of her hair.
In that moment of confidence darlena grabs him with every ounce of strength she has an stabs him directly in the neck with Slyfoot's dagger,sending blood arching out.
"Well I didn't .......Father..."
With a look of shock on his face Xamont's body slumps over dead onto Darlena.She shoves his body aside letting him hit the ground with a thud.She rises slowly heading toward the river arm numb with pain.
"Slyfoot I'm free now." She passes out next to the river from the ordeal.
