31 Rhoswen & the Nameless

_Rhoswen & the Nameless_

"What do you mean he said no?" Ryus asked the small girl with red eyes. She gave him an apologetic look that he did not accept.

"He would not budge no matter what I said," She said with tears swelling in her eyes. "I tried so hard, I did!" Rhoswen told the two prisoners. "If he does not execute you here then he will send you to the capital to be tried by the king... and I do not think you will make it out of there alive. Perhaps I can-"

"You have done enough," Kehan told her calmly, Ryus giving him a weary look. "Perhaps that is our destiny. Going to the capital... one of the seven is likely in trouble, right? That girl you saw?" He asked her.

Rhoswen gave him a conflicted sort of look. "I do not know her as I know you. I have not seen much of her-"

"How much of us had you seen before we met?" He asked her thoughtfully.

"Roughly the same..." She mumbled out now.

"See? Besides, if we are to be tried in the capital, we will likely see her in the dungeons, according to your visions she will be there."

"But I do not know if you will be too late or too early! There is no date to my visions," She said distressed. "She may not be there when you arrive,"

Kehan frowned, thinking to himself now, and Ryus spoke up. "If we do see her, there is nothing for us to do. It is unlikely we will be able to get ourselves out, let alone her.

"When was the last time you had a vision?" Kehan spoke up now.

Rhoswen gave him a confused look. "When I shook hands with Ryus," She answered.

"Do things like that normally trigger visions?" He asked now.

Rhoswen thought about it for a split second before shaking her head. "No, most times they just happen by themselves. Most times when I sleep."

"What is with this talk of her visions?" Ryus asked his friend.

"If we can get her to have another vision, then maybe she'll learn more information." Kehan said thoughtfully.

Rhoswen thought it over in her head. "We can try to trigger one. Kehan let me shake your hand."

Kehan stood from his bench and walked to the bars separating Ryus and him from Rhoswen who was here without ser Dane. Supposedly he was caught up in other work so Rhoswen snuck her way in here.

When Kehan stuck his hands through the bars Rhoswen reached for it, nearly cringing in the process. She did not like daytime visions. They came with pain disorientation and confusion. When nothing happened, she let out a silent sigh of relief.

"It didn't work." Kehan said disappointed.

"Maybe if she shook my hand again," Ryus said now, getting up from his own bench with a slight cringe. His side still hurt but he paid it no mind as he made his way to the bars and stuck his hand through them.

"You believe it then?" Kehan asked Ryus, eyebrows raised. "The visions- the-"

"Not quite but indulging in it doesn't hurt, does it?" Ryus reasoned, but Rhoswen stayed quiet. It hurt if it worked, she thought.

The blonde girl took his tan hand in her pale one and immediately fell to her knees, her body attempting to fall forward but instead slamming her head against the iron bars of the cell. The only thing Rhoswen heard was a brief foreign language she guessed was a curse.

Her eyes rolled back and her muscles locked up, this world fading from her eyes and sending her to another. Here it was dark for a moment, as it normally was. And as if sensing her realization of darkness, objects came into view. A humming and buzzing sounded to her ears, soon clearing to reveal speech. She looked around her surroundings. A fancy room, one far finer than her own which was quite a feat. For a moment, she wondered if this was a room in the Denheim castle, but the architecture was far different, foreign even.
