[Duhsh Woodland outskirts -  Enter Ninus frantically searching the rendezvous point for any sign of Alessandra]


Ninus: Why is she nowhere to be seen yet you have returned to my side?


Shadow Seeker: A presence entered the woods, one beyond the power of a shadow, I was left with no choice.


Ninus: Your lies & deceitful tactics may fool many but do not think for a second they will work on me. You will find her and you will return her to me.


Shadow Seeker: Yes my lord.


Ninus: I seek immortality. Not the fleeting kind mere mortals often sacrifice everything to gain. True immortality. To become "undying", remind me again how such a thing is achieved.


Shadow Seeker: Yggdrasil.


Ninus: And what nation's soil are the very roots of such a tree embedded in?


Shadow Seeker: Caelestra.


Ninus: The very essence of that tree, its purity, its light, power once in the hands of the Night Elves. We were the divine, we are the rightful owners of the Yggdrasil and what have we to show for it? Exile, persecution, slavery, discrimination. Where we were once revered we are now spat at by those who's ancestors kissed the very soles of our feet. The divine have no right to what was once sacred Elvish land. The tree is ours.


Shadow Seeker: The Yggdrasil is in the Gardens of Caelestra, sealed by a powerful spell only the divine can break.


Ninus: The divine, or her child...


Shadow Seeker: Alessandra...?


Ninus: Find her, return to the pendant and when you are alone with her. I will find you.


Shadow Seeker: What The Constructor wills, shall manifest. In good time.


[Exit Shadow Seeker]
