"Let us out"! Emily yelled at the door
Adnaan lounged on the couch reading a book, he looked over to Emily, "You should come rest, I doubt that will help" he said teasingly.
With a final bang on the door, she walked away from it, looking at Adnaan, "I don't know how you can be so calm, I can't believe I trusted her" she growled.
Adnaan looked up form the book again, "Emily, Finistoria has given us no reason not to trust her, I mean we're here in the Ovion sect. I doubt there is a place safer from the Basso and Korok then here.
Emily favored Adnaan a sarcastic half smile and sighed, I can understand, your impressed to be here, The mythical aspect and all that, but you know my herbs and healing training? I was trained here by the methods brought forth by the Ancients.
Adnaan looked at Emily with surprise, "So you've been here before?"
"This very village", Emily shot back. I lived here for a couple cycles."
"Well that's great, So, what are you worried about? Adnaan smiled, "We should be in good hands."
Emily sighed, "Yes were safe enough, I just not sure why they'd do this. "If Speron and Rathamin are here, why cant we see them?"
"Well we'll see the Mayor or Governor or someone in charge and we will know soon enough, Adnaan set the book back on the table.
"Regent, Emily said, The local Regents are either Nian or Mefa, yeah it wont be long. Its just not like Mefa to keep us locked up like this.
With that, the door made a pop and the door clicked and whirred open. A large Ram soldier walked though the door, Emily jumped up and shrieked, KORS! She ran over and hugged the armored warrior. "What is going on around here?"
Kors began to motion in a manner Adnaan had never seen before, no discussion but Adnaan was sure the soldier was explaining with hand gestures, the situation to Emily. And what's more she appeared to understand.
"Well I'm sure Nian will make them understand?" Emily shot back.
With another round of gestures, the one Emily called Kors gave more information. Emily was shocked.
"Dead, no Nian cant be dead, she sat on the end of the table, wow, no I didn't know.
Adnaan stepped closer, "I'm sorry, who's dead?"
Emily turned, "Oh Adnaan im sorry she said half heartedly, "This is Kors, he's the chief Centry for Regent Mefa, "Kors this is my friend Adnaan"
The Centry bowed slightly never taking his eyes off the Elfling.
"Kors we need to see Mefa, Emily said urgently
Kors nodded and motioned to the door, Emily hastened though the door with Adnaan close behind. Adnaan took notice of the halls and the industrial nature of the facility. Emily was several paces in front all of a sudden and Adnaan had to jog to catch up again.
Emily turned a corner and moved up a metal staircase that narrowed as it went up. As she went through a pair of metal doors, they stepped into a large round room. as the two entered, Adnaan marveled at the huge round domed meeting chamber.
Emily hastily walked through the large dome, moving towards the group on the far side of the chamber. Several official looking Ovions were mulling around a large egg shaped conference table. Adnaan smiled as he saw Finistoria glide into the room from a secondary room. She was talking to an elder Ram.
Emily stepped close to Mefa, she casually looked around before making contact with the other woman. Mefa regarded Emily with a warm smile when she noticed the young human. "Emily, thank the Ancients you made it" she hugged the young woman. "And in garments, my such changes."
