[Duhsh Village Entrance - Enter High Elf Alenia alongside her guards. She appears to be agitated and continues to walk inside]


Duhsh Guard: Aaye! Hodoer Alenia Famaris!

{Hail! Alenia Famaris the wise!}


[The Duhsh Guards step aside clearing a path for Alenia and her soldiers to pass by]


Duhsh Soldier #1: The child, why did we take her under our wing?


High Elf Alenia: That is none of your concern.


Duhsh Soldier #1: My apologies Arwenamin.

{My apologies My Lady}


Duhsh Soldier #2: It would be wise if we tested what the Sereg'wethrin told us about her.

{The Assassin}


High Elf Alenia: It would be wise if you did your duty and did not tell me how to do mine. I want no interruptions while I speak to the child.


[Alenia walks into a small domed cottage brushing aside the beads that cover the entrance to the cottage]


Alessandra Zalori: Did you get Shadow?


High Elf Alenia: He will be back someday, fret not child.


[Alenia sits across from Alessandra and stares into her eyes in deep thought]


Shadow mentioned you saved him from Lnilth. I am curious child, how so?


Alessandra Zalori: Well, he must have woken the dragon up. I don't know how but one minute he was coming after me, next minute he was about to be gobbled up!


High Elf Alenia: How did you stop a hungry dragon from gobbling up the hume?


Alessandra Zalori: I felt a connection with it, I know what creatures will try and harm me, the dragon would never hurt me.


High Elf Alenia: How can you be so sure?


Alessandra Zalori: He told me, he said "Little girl! I will not gobble you up because you give the best rubs I've gotten in a long long time!"


High Elf Alenia: [laughs gently] Very kind of him isn't it?


Alessandra Zalori: [nods] mhm, he is a good dragon. Very sleepy though.


High Elf Alenia: Are you not afraid?


Alessandra Zalori: No, they are friendly. They are more understanding than most people I've met.


High Elf Alenia: [aside] Fascinating...


[To Alessandra] Come my child, I will teach you Elvish along with the ways of our people.


Alessandra Zalori: [nods] Thank you
