She bit her lip slightly and shrugged, "My life will someday get better, whether I die or whether all those that hunt me die and I am free. Balor and Neracelc are both mortal men and cannot live forever. That is what keeps me going, knowing that one day I will find peace."

Neracelc shaked his head.

Damn you fool! Why can`t you stay out of my way?

Suddenly the door opened even to Neracelc`s amazement, but he had no time to think and at the same time a robed man walked away from the scene where he had waited in the shadows. Neracelc entered the barracks to confort two guards, he slashed the other chest open and threw a knife in the other chest. He took the others keys and began making his way deeper into the barracks with a grim smile on his face.

"Indeed. You shall find peace."
He smiled.
"I just hope it's in my lifetime."

She smiled slightly, "As do I" She was quiet for a moment, it seemed to peaceful. She felt safe and comfortable, like nothing was going to happen to her tonight while she was with him.

neracelc broke trough another room leaving 4 guards dead behind him and continued to walk onwards with a grin on his face since one of the guards had slashed his left hand. It was bleeding, but not really badly.

This should be worth the money...

To Neracelc amazement his thoughts where answered.

Oh it will be my simple friend... and it has been worth my while already.. for a while it was fun to control to get them off her real threatener... well Balor looks for her, but he hasn`t really found her...

Neracelc shaked his head and continued onwards, he saw a guard sitting in a chair sleeping and Neracelc smiled as he cutted his throat. The guard fell on the ground leaving a loud sound as his equipment hit the ground, Neracelc walked onwards looking for Adastrea....

Thinren stayed still for a moment then sighed.
"I think I should go get some sleep, unless you want me to stay?"
He was about to stand.

"You have done so much for me, you need to sleep" She said with a slight smile. "Goodnight, Thinren."

He nodded and smiled. He stood and walked out the door.
"Goodnight"
He walked outside onto the hall and locked the door from the outside. Just in case. He stopped and looked at the door for a moment and smiled to himself.
"Goodnight" He whispered.
Thinren turned to go to his own quarters when he saw Neracelc standing in the hallway weilding a bloody sword. Thinren looked shocked for a moment and then his face showed anger.
"You!"
He went to his sheath to find nothing, he had left his sword inside!
"You won't get to her."

Adastrea watched silently with a slight smile on herface as he walked out. When he was gone she went to her bed and laid down, falling asleep thinking of him.

Neracelc grinned and sighed.

"Why do you hypocrites have to get in the way!?"

Neracelc approached Thinren with a voce charged with wrath.

"This does not concern you man of gondor, leave alive or stay and die..."

Neracelc slashed at him and continued with two similiar slashed towards his shoulders trying to force him back.

He jumped back several times until he was against the wall at the end of the hall. He reached down into his boot for a dagger and threw it.
"You shall not harm her!"
Thinren charged after the dagger with his arms streched out to choke him.

[!*#_:]

The dagger got went deep in Neracelc`s left shoulder and he screamed in pain, but mostly in anger and saw Thinren running towards him. Neracelc made a surprise, just before Thinren would have cathed him he jumped with his hole body weight towards him and squuezed him against the wall. Neracekc got up bleeding with a grin on his face, but held his boot on Thinren`s chest.

"Nice to meet you, but I have to go... oh you forgot this"

He drew the dagger out of his shoulder and striked in deep in Thinren`s shoulder, Neracelc grinned as the bleeding went on and continued until he foumd Adastrea. He grinned happily.

"Finally... I`ve been looking all over for you Adastrea... time to dance, if you have a sword..."

Neracelc approached her with a smile on his face.

He screamed in pain and couldn't move his left arm. He reached over and pull the dagger out with a gasp. The fall had hurt his back ad cracked a few ribs, leaving him on the floor. He cried to himself.
"I failed you..."
He blinked the tears away and rolled over onto his stomach. He then pushed himself up and walked to the room feeling weaker with every step, the blood pouring out of his should. He clutched at the wound to try and stem the flow but it was useless. He made his way down the hall.

*All of a sudden, there was a thunderclap. Not of strange magics being performed, but a door falling to the ground. Sen walked through, his eyes aflame, and his swords dripping blood. He had not a scratch in his armor.*
Thinren! Protect Adastrae from anyone else! I will not let this fiend spill any more precious blood.
*Sen ran at Neracelc, ducked his blow, and placed his hand on his forehead. All of a sudden, everything went white, and just Sen and Neracelc were standing in an open field, no defining scenery anywhere. Everything else was the same; the weapons, armor, and even the dripping blood was still there.*
Welcome to the Dueling Grounds, Neracelc. This is where it will end.
*Thinren stood in awe; both Sen and Neracelc's bodies seemed frozen in place, their minds elsewhere...*

Adastrea stirred in her sleep when Neracelc walked in. She opened her eyes and looked over at him and quickly sat up. She bit her lip looking around the room, she had never gone to get a sword. "Where in Thinren?" She asked, her voice shaking a little.

Suddenly a sharp sound shouted in Neracelc`s mind.

Enough!

Neracelc grinned and shaked his head, he placed his sword on his belt whispering, then he suddenly spoke with a voice normal steady voice in many years.

"No... this is enough... my mission is done and I have earned my reward... She has been... tested enough... so I think you should let us leave this place... or he will get me out of here..."

Neracelc waited.

----

Meanwhile a robed man walked trough the barracks over the bodies of the guards and finally arricing at the room where Adastrea was at, he threw his hood down.

"Well hello there Adastrea.. long time not seen..."

Melachor smiled.
