| Arin had woke an hour before her, and sat out side in the sun, a long wooden pipe in his mouth, smoking away, as he watched the birds fly around, humming to himself, enjoying the peaceful surroundings. he heard her wake as say his name "I'm here" | |

| It took her several moments to gather the energy need to rise, one hand resting against the wall as she made her way to the door, leaning against the frame. She was pale, her skin almost matching the white of her robe. "Is there anything left to drink?" she asked. | |

| Ardin reached into his pouch, and handed her a wine skin "There is a bit more wine left, and I have some water here, just filled it up" he smiles at her and shuffles over "Come sit down, you shouldn't be walking yet, you still need rest | |

| She nodded and sat down next to him, taking the wine skin he handed her, taking a sip. "How are you?" she asked once she had slacked her thirst, looking at him with concern. | |

| Ardin puffs at his pipe a few more times, then looks at her "Nothing like dieing twice in a day, it took alot out of me, but I had to save you, Im just glad your safe" he looks around "I dont like losing friends" | |

| She smiled wearily and patted his arm. "I am grateful to you. But do you mind my asking why you went into the cave in the first place?" she asked, tilting her head back to look up at him. | |

| He looked at her for a moment then back at the surroundings, "She told me too, asked me to purge the evil from this land" he rubbed his arms, "But it hasn't been purged yet, I know that creature, hes not a dumb beast, hes very smart, and he will be back, he heals quickly and will be hunting us" he takes a few more puffs. " That was the second time I had to push him over a cliff, he is as old as me... Why is he here" He thought for a moment then a shocked look came to him, and he smacked his hand to his forehead "He was hunting Nado," | |

| She shivered at the thought of the beast coming back to hunt them. She had hoped that it was dead. "Should we leave then?" she asked. "How can we fight something we cannot see?" Then after a moments pause her brow furrowed. "Whose Nado?" | |

| Ardin tilted his head thinking "The one who accepted me, he was a Se-aken warrior and the one I formed the alliance with. After the war he did some travelling, and that beast had been hunting Se-aken warriors dureing the war, it must have followed him." | |

| Leaned her head against the door frame, lines of worry and weariness creasing her forehead. "So this Nado is around here somewhere?" she asked, closing her eyes, soaking up the last rays of sunlight before the sun disappeared behind the horizon. | |

| Ardin tapped his pipe out and packed it away "No hes dead, died fifty years ago" he looked away and sighed " Alot of the Se-akens are dead, but that is history. our problem right now is that demon," he stood up and looked at her "You can leave if you like but I have to stay" | |

| She opened her eyes, smiling at him softly. "And leave you without a healer? I couldn't do that." The smile faded, and she looked in the direction of the river where they had left the beast. "I just hope I don't get in the way." | |

| Ardin smiles and puts a hand on her shoulder "It wont be back for a while, It remembers my face that's for sure, you wont get in the way" he chuckles "Also now I have a reason to fight don't I" he looks over to the river "I will need a face he will fear" | |

| "How long do you think we have till it comes looking for us?" she asked, watching the sunset. Her hand reached up to touch the medallion around her neck, getting comfort from it. "Is there anything we can do to prepare?" | |

| Ardin shrugged and yawned "Oh I dont know, a week or a month, he Hurt him pretty bad, all his limps were broken but one, and he wash down the river for a while we have time" he went into the room and laid down again "The only thing you can do is get better at that bow, and stay hidden from him, he will want me more than you" | |

| She nodded quietly. "As soon as I get my strength back, I will practice until I drop," she promised, feeling the night close around them, the light fading. She stood up, moving back into the hut. "I don't suppose that there is anything to eat," she commented, knowing that the deer he had killed the day of the attack would be rotten from the sun by now. | |

| Ardin slowly shook his head "Hold in their Seven, I will hunt again tomorrow, it is too bad that the deer must go to waist" he sighs, crossing his arms "It's life no more, its family missed" | |

| She nodded her head. "Tomorrow then I will go foraging as well." she told him. "And i am sure the deer's spirit understands." she told him with a smile. She glanced around at the empty hut and sighed slightly. "I guess that if we intend to stay here long we should also start on making some furniture so that we don't have to sleep on the ground." | |

| She took her blankets, spreading them out a few feet from him. "What does my being an elf have to do with anything?" she asked, curious. She sat down on her bedroll, longingly thinking of the soft feather bed she had left behind at the temple. | |

| Ardin rolls onto his side using his side bag stuffed with his cloak as a pillow "I dont have to see you age as fast, I dont have to watch you grow old while I stay young" he looked at her then closed his eyes "It was hard watching my wife grow old and withered then pass away. as I remained the same, I left her a long time ago, but I left flowers on her steps on her birthday, left my son something on his, and I attended her funeral. the sad thing was, they thought I was a grand son" | |

| She looked over at him, her gaze soft. "It must be hard," she commented, trying to imagine what it would be like to watch those you loved grow old before your eyes. Most of those at the Temple had been elven, wood elves like her. "At least you kept watch over her through the years. I am sure that sensed it, even if she didn't see you, and was comforted." | |

| he opening his eyes and looked at her with a smile "She would blow a kiss when ever her flowers came to her step, and on day before I came to put the flowers at the door she opened it right in front of me" | |

| She smiled and nodded. "What happened then?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. "How did she react to seeing you after so long?" | |

| He looked at then smiled "She just said Hello Ardin, she was old but she stepped towards me and kissed me for a long moment, then held me and gave me a present for my birthday. she understood why I left her, and still loved me" he sighed looking at the ground. "Three more years and she died" | |
