Silence fell within the Forgotten Temple, broken only by the steady beating of wings and lapping of water against the pillars. Whatever other denizens yet lived within the Temple were wisely hiding from the winged warrior whose bloody blades still dripped steadily onto the carnage strewn floor. Lowering herself to the ground, a cold smile hovered about pale lips as her great raven wings stilled, her grey skin spattered with drying blood and gore. The haze of battle finally dying, solid onyx eyes faded to the darkest violet, their peerless depths taking in her surroundings, a flicker of confusion marring her brow. Turning to the entrance opposite the one she had used to enter the room, she padded through the temple.
Naked save for wings and her swords, and barefoot, she made her way to the surface. A sea breeze and late morning sun greeted her, warming her as she spread her magnificent avian limbs wide to take in the warmth before subtly absorbing them into the elaborate tattoo of their likeness across her back. Wiping the blood from her blades with handfuls of grass and inspecting their edges, the Nameless sighed and visibly shivered. Inhaling deep, she could taste the salty tang of the sea. Her delicate ears picked up the sound of the Harbor far to the north, and slowly turned her way toward it, her feet finding the road.

Pulled along as if by an unseen force, the Dark Elf moved steadily down the road toward Gludin Harbor, loosely held blades catching cheerful sunlight in the polished metal. As the walls of the harbor town loomed on the horizon, the woman stopped in the middle of the well trodden path and stared.
~{The buzzing started in her head. Scratching, whispering, rubbing against the back of her skull. A tightness that built in her chest and seemed to stretch out like a bit of twine tugged her in the direction of the town. Feelings of longing and fear vied for control as her body stood frozen. Unable to deal with the unexpected emotions and physical responses, she turned to the shore and pulled herself toward the soothing surf sounds. The whispering in her mind growing and crooning to her, "Assa'rai, assa'rai...guuan phor". * }~
Long moments passed as the woman stared at the village, sunlight illumining battle scars and the bold, sweeping tattoo across her back and shoulders. Shuddering slightly, the she turned into the breeze that attempted to loosen her matted, once white hair. And with a gait seemingly designed to carry her from the welcoming walls, the Nameless made her way the golden sands and cool waters of the shore.
* "Dreamer, dreamer...awaken (wake up)."

Far away, in a large, shadowy mansion in the noble district of the Tower of Aden, the Celebrant tossed and turned in her bed. Hisses, little more than whispers, slipped into her mind from the dark corners of her bedroom. Bathed in sweat, she sat up straight, eyes opening wide with both fear and recognition.
"Mirshann?"

The cool surf lapped at her body, dried blood moistening and washing away in faint pink ribbons. Clean white hair floating near the surface as the water cradled and rocked her. Thick lashes fluttered and drooped as the water's motion lulled her.
~{The sea sang sweetly to her. Freed from the eternal of the Shadowed Paths and the Veils between. This world where the light was warm and golden and the air was sweet...where water crooned and soothed like the Mother's...- A hissing whisper grew to a deafening roar, arching her back and swallowing water, "Assssaaaaa'RAI!!".}~
Coughing and flailing, the Nameless flung herself towards the shore. Fighting free of the once calming water, she cradled her her head and sobbed once, crying out, "Nau!". Rocking for a moment she murmured soothingly to herself then rose, her wings appearing briefly to spread and shake the water free before disappearing once more. "A dream. Only a dream. Assa'rai- dreamer."
As if no longer having any interest in the shore or it's soothing properties, she strode purposefully toward the town. No glance spared for that which she left behind, only what lie ahead.

Meanwhile, within the town, the bounds of time and space were rent by a static burst. A series of pops, then a flash of light. When it faded, Laird looked around, surveying his surroundings with a practiced, military eye.
No enemies, good. he thought, looking toward the nearby gate. Though it led to the harbor, he could hear well enough. No sign of pursuit. Filthy orcs. Fitting only for practice. First these, then those who would call themselves "true" orcs. Starting with that bastard Kamakela.
He straightened, dusting himself off and sheathing his rapier. Taking a moment to recall, the trooper started toward his clan hall, putting on the measured and practiced smile he had come to use around them all.

The skyclad Dark Elf glided straight through the gates and into the square. Dark eyes wide with wonder, blades held akimbo as she simply took in the sights and smells. No notice was paid to anyone who moved near her or spoke. Apparently struck by the town and unfamiliarity.
~{ So many people in a small space. So much light and noise. Yet it somehow seemed vaguely familiar. If she turned just left...yes. A familiar symbol on a plank near the door. And the stern serene faces of the Mother's people. Something pulled at her, beckoning her deeper into the warrens of wood and stone. She turned slowly, tilting her face to the light. It is so different here. Why does it naut feel different? Her stomach growled and she ignored it with a strange frown. The sensation was also a familiar one, but one she could not quite place. Wait...hunger?}~
For long moments the stranger turned, a range of emotions flicking across her face, the movement of her head resembling that of a curious bird. At last she reached out as someone passed, not really paying attention to the hapless victim. Continuing to observe her surrounding she spoke to her captive audience.
"Hunger. I have hunger. Where can I get cured?"

Laird stopped, eyeing the naked dark elf in front of him.
Naked... he thought. Of course. Leave it to the dark elves. Fitting. Must be some sort of ritual, them and their death goddess.
He looked her over one last time, shaking his head. "The pub has been closed for years," he says, voice echoing within itself. "Follow me, and with any luck the orc won't see you killed." He shook his head again, then hooked his finger over his winged shoulder, turning toward the clan hall.

Far away, in a large, shadowy mansion in the noble district of the Tower of Aden, the Celebrant tossed and turned in her bed. Hisses, little more than whispers, slipped into her mind from the dark corners of her bedroom. Bathed in sweat, she sat up straight, eyes opening wide with both fear and recognition. "Mirshann?" Waking from a dead sleep feeling the women beside him moving he slowly opens his eyes. Taking in the sight of her sitting there in their bed he fears that she's had another of the nightmares that have plaged her of late. Raising a hand to her bare shoulder he murmers, "Shhhh usta ssinjin*. You're safe. Which nightmare was it this time that filled your dreams?" ((*my sweet))
