In the end

1.

My name is Lena . Not long ago I left Ilias. The land where I am headed to, thinks it doesn't exist . 'The City ' is a small country on its own but apparently others fear of it. Noone knows what kind of strategy is used to scare the other regions around, aside from the Baron himself.

Right now I was standing on board of CPT Greyhound's ship. A relative I acquired back at the time when going to Ilias. I  was walking around the deck and tried to find him . He is a person who despite having control of the ship still helped his crew. He was a person capable to trust with something. As time passed back in Ilias, he was the one who took me in and learnt me how to read, write and even found me a job. He became a parent for me. Ever since I was born I was abondoned by my parents, left on the roads.

Still looking for the captain I went to his cabin. Upon entering one could think it was more like a room from a mansion. The walls were perfectly painted without any trace of it showing that they are wooden at all. On the right wall, one can see a big collection of different small but very precious treasures. Then I looked in front of me where there was a big desk with small shelfs each filled with paper or pens. And there sat the captain, doodling a path on a map. I came closer and immediately that made him alert of my precense in the room . He turned around, still sitting on his stool . He smiled and welcomed me to see what he did. He had made a path which we took to get to 'The City'.

For a moment I froze. I just stared at the name 'The City'. I looked back to him with slight terror. He knew of my past here. He knew who raised me there. He was the only one who knows who I really am. Even in Ilias I continued to do what I did there. Steal. Although I did it to get the reward but as well helped people for their own benefit and mine. He just smiled again and puts his hand on my shoulder.
" It's going to be fine. Let's just hope you won't meet that person. For how long do you intend to stay there, Lena?"  
While looking out of the window I answered. 
" For a couple of days, just to see what became of that place. See how it is now. As well see my dear Queen. She predicted before leaving that one day I will come back and she will be prepared for the moment. " 
  I looked back at him and continued.  " I am sure she would like you to. If you want you can come with me."   
He just shook his head and turned back to his map.

Suddenly we heard one of the men shout .
"LAND AT FRONT!"
Without wasting a second, I run out to the deck and run to the very front where the mast was. I looked in front of me and could see the tall buildings of the city. Greyhound was by my side soon after. He started shouting at his men to prepare the ship for full speed. Ignoring his shouts, I focused in front of me. Then I remembered to go down to my quarter below the deck and went to my very small room. Looking through my shelfs I found the outfit suitable to walk around the city. I locked the door and started changing. I changed to a new set of clothes. A tight top and pants which were skinny as well. On top of it I putted my weapons which were attached to a belt. All the outfit was black. On it, I putted a dress which covered my clothes perfectly. The material itself was silk and the colour of dress was dark as well to not give away my extra clothes. I looked at myself on the small mirror. I thought back of the years spent in 'The City'. As I mentioned earlier I was abondoned by my real parents. Left at an small alley where they thought I could die. I was lucky enough to be found soon enough. Just as I remembered the persons, I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I went back up and saw the captain's confused look. I smiled
  " It is just how the women are dressed, don't want to bring trouble for the crew. Would appreciate it if you could act like my uncle or something. They can do wonders to women who don't have any family."  
He nodded and turned back to look at the city. We were almost at the port. Suddenly, I noticed how heavy the atmosphere was. One could say, sadness was the main thing going on around this place. What I could sense was something more worse than sadness. More like madness. It made me chills run up my spine. I had the feeling as if this madness had eyes everywhere.
