Nail's confessions began haunting Auden.She knew people mostly spoke the truth when they were drunk but,she dreaded confronting Nail.She had a very strong gut feeling that it was nothing but the blatant truth and Nail would deny it or royaly ignore her.But she was not a prostitute!

And with whom did Nail not want her to be shared with?

The world around Auden began swirling,the more she wished to come out of the circles the more she felt entangled; trapped.
What was she suppose to do now?

She felt lonely.

She ran helplessly onto the terrace of the palace.
The boundries could not stop her today.She let her body hug the empty space.The wind kissed her cheeks,her body felt weightless.
She was not a prostitute;she was dying pure.

***
Her eyelids felt heavy,she felt taken.Darkness engulfed her,swallowing her into it's tormenting piths.Was she alive?
She felt someone calling her.A Woman, dressed in pure white cloak.The woman lifted her hood gracefully.
Her face radiated light.
The aura around the woman left Auden spellbounded.

"Who are you my lady?",she asked.

"You don't know me Auden but I do.I'm your sister,Gabreala.I was brutally executed Auden!
Don't run away Auden they will chase you no matter how far you go.
Go back to daddy.You are in the abyss now,go back into reality."

She lifted her eyelids.She squinted her eyes to get them adjusted to the brightness of the room.
To her astonishment she found no injury on her body,no trace of pain.
How was that even possible?

"Aww sweetie you up? shouldn't have tried it,we've invested alot;how could we let it go."

Her eyes met a person whom she had never seen in her life or had she lost her memory?

"I'm the Emperor of Edensburg,Emperor Henry ll.You must have met Selvester,he speaks about you;all good things!"

"Hey daddy,I heard my name.
Oh Auden,why?
Do you know how much I missed you?"

"Don't worry son now we will have you watching over her,it seems that  Nail is not an accomplaished soilder."

"Alright dad I'll protect her more than myself."

Just then someone barged into the room.
NAIL.

"Who fired me?You can't do this!
I've studied her and I saved her.
This is against the rule."

"Tsk tsk tsk Nail let the comittee decide that,untill then Selvester is responsible for her.You may leave."

Nail looked at her for one last time and left.
