Adastrea was silent as the conversation went on, this was none of her business and she knew it. She went out on the balcony alone and leaned on the stone rail. When would Balor send men after her? She thought that all this time Neracelc was the one, but were there others? She sighed, it would be so much easier if she knew when to expect an attack. Maybe she should just leave the city now and go back home. She closed her eyes, she didn't have a home anymore, someone burned it down. Was that Neracelc or one of Balor's men? Maybe they were after her already and had lost her in the woods...or they think she died in the fire, which meant she was free.

Deawen sat for a moment in shock "i understand..." she said quitely she stood up "report to your captian though it won't do any good and as for seeing you well you may see me or not..." she sighed she bowed alittle then she pulled her hood up and placed her mask. she looked like a phantom "well farewell" and with that she walked away.

tears rolled down her cheek behind her mask she was not far from the barrack only one roof top. she knew Thinren took his job to heart and he would tell his capitain she was alone no one to help her in her hour of need...

Thinren stood and watched her leave.
"I'm sorry..."
He sat back down feeling worse, he couldn't tell her where he was, more men may die. He covered his face with his hands and sobbed again.

Deawen sat on the roof top her mask was off and tears streaked her face. Deawen thought of going back to her house but that could be already a trap. she didn't know what was worse getting caught or knowing your only living family will be hanged. "he is a spy as are you you must learn to except your fate. they will find you.." [/i]

*There was a slight breeze on Deawen's cheek, and that caused her to turn. Sen was sitting right next to her, not making a sound, even in his armor.*
I know or can guess most of your plight; though I need to know the whole story. And please, don't try to cover anything up; I can tell if someone is trying to decieve me...

Deawen turned in surprise " what?''
" i cant' tell you! how do i know you won't betray me?'
Deawen searched his face for any sign of a hidden clue there was none Deawen looked away she took a deep breath " Sen..." she began "i don't know what you ask of me I can't just give my cover again i have already gave the gondorains too much infromation..." she sobbed tears spilling. she looked at Sen "i guess i can't fool you..." she took a deep breath, "My name is Deawen the shadow maiden of the Dragon Tears I'am sister of Adrod. 'I sometimes work as an assassin..." she sobbed.

*Sen was silent for a moment, before continuing.*
I see. What have been your recent assignments, and which side do you serve?
*On the spur of the moment, Sen thought of something.*
And what will happen if you do not complete your assignments?

Deawen didn't say any thing she started to tremble "no! i can't tell you I'm sorry i just can't!" Deawen cried she tried to get up but she stepped on her cloak she lost her balance and slipped. Deawen slide down the roof just as she reached the edge she felt a strong hand grab hers Sen pulled her up. Deawen continued to tremble, Deawen looked at Sen then away "My recent assignment is to kill Capitian Faramir...and my side right now is with the enemy..." she said camly "and if i don't I could lose my life they will send an assassin to kill me because they think i would try to stop them"

*Surprisingly, Sen smiled.*
An interesting puzzle we have gotten ourselves into, my lady. Perchance, how far up the chain does this plot go? Is Sauron himslef behind it, or is one of his underlings?
For if I have the picture, lets just say I would be able to solve the puzzle...

(theres that Prechance word of the week!)
Deawen was confuzzed by Sen's sudden smile " i don't know really I only know that I'am to Kill Faramir and not get caught somuch for that part." Deawen sighed she felt less frightened. "the order was signed by an easterling but it could have been sauron.."

*Sen held her shoulders softly, partially in a comforting way, and partially to keep her attention.*
You must know this, Deawen. I will end your servitude, if that is what you wish. I am not all that you may see, and I have not been this way forever...

Deawen stared at him " my servitude? '" Deawen had never thought of it like that "I guess the things i did in the past were wrong...almost evil." she whispered as she lowered her head in shame.

*Sen stared at her, searching her eyes, before saying.*
Yes my lady, the forced hand does not always reveal the hand's true intentions. Tell me of this easterling, and I will see what may be done.*

"I have never seen him though my brother has. "Deawen shrugged

Then I shall meet with your brother. I will find this easterling, and he will wish that none of this had come to pass.
*Sen took out a small black piece of silk from his armor, and dried Deawen's tears with it.*

Sen wipped away her tears but not her guilt. "my brother is in the dungeons My Lord..."
