---

Hatita tried to stop herself watching the bar with the elf in. she instead directed her attentions to a swindling merchant ripping off his customers outside. she blew a wind down the street at the man, but a smile did not even grace her lips as the merchants earnings were scattered to the wind. Her mischeif left her feeling cold. Her thoughts straying back inside to the wolf and elf...

---

Maito walked up to the goddess and bowed. "what troubles you M'lady?"

---

The goddess looked up, startled that this mortal could see her.
"What do you want? Can't you leave me be?" she replied vehemently.

---

Maito looked at the goddess before her. "You are troubled greatly, I only wish to help"

---

"Help me? ha! how can you help!? just...go." she swung her arm, gesturing for the girl to leave. She felt old, and tired and bruised. Her body ached all over, from her fingertips to her toes to the muscles in her face. She was just so, so sleepy...she leaned against the inn wall and slid down it coming into a sitting position at its base. She crumpled into a semi-consious heap on the cold, hard cobbles...

---

Maito looked on as the goddess crumpled to the floor and sighed. In her mind all she saw was a little girl tired and lost. At that she walked over to Hatita and placed her finger on Hatita's forhead, easing the goddess in to a calm state of mind as much as she could.

---

Kera awoke and went downstairs of the inn ad noticed the goddess on the floor she tilted her head in counfused manner.

---

beneath her heavy, closed eyelids the goddess noticed the indistinct flicker of daylight and shadow across her face connoting the presence of a new figure standing over her, wearily she opened her chapped lips,
"Please, just leave me alone...please..."

---

Kera shoke her head and easily pulled the goddess to her feet "get a room go and sleep." she stated simply

---

Like a small child the goddess dutifully allowed herself to be tugged to her feet. She heard the woman say somthing but it did not register in her thoughts...

---

Kera growing angery at t he goddes sighed and used her telepathy "get a room and get some proper rest." she stated again her voice had an icey tone to it

---

Maito wacthed as the drow picked up the goddess and told her to get a room and to sleep. "Be gental miss, for she is very unstable" with that she walked out the door to find her next job.

---

Kera noded simply and let the goddess go before walking to a corner of the inn and remained there.

---

Alone again once more the goddess leant sleepily agaist the wall eyes, ears and mind closed...

---

Maito finishing her job quickly, she went to an alley and gathered her money. She walked back to the bar deep in thought. 'Would this elf help the goddess or destroy her?' She walked in and sat down at the bar and order some soup, mosing over her thoughts.

---

Kera studied Maito carefully while as normal wachting the area around her for danger.

---

Maito snapped out of her thoughts when she felt eyes on her. She looked around carefully and noticed it was Kera. Maito stared at the Drow and called her over.

---

Kera tilted her head and walked over to maito carefully she blinked a few to times to clear her sore eyes. "Can I help you?" she asked coldly

---

Maito blinked in confuzon at the coldness in Kera's tone. "I was wondering if you would like to have some soup with me." Maito eyed kera.

---

Kera raised an eyebrow at Maito "soup?" she paused in thought for a moment "sounds fine." she said simply

---

Maito just smiled a bit and ordered another soup.

---

Kera played with her necklace which was the symbnol of her goddess Eilistraee as she made ready her spells to see if the food offered to her would be drugged or posioned.

---

Elariel watched as other familiar faces came into the bar, but stayed where he was. He had not seen that healer again, and part of him wondered where she was.

Part just wanted to forget about her...

---

Outside still the goddess was curled by the inn wall on the filthy slime on the cobbled street. She wanted to sleep, sleep forever and never wake up. She been alive so long. She had always been here everything just changed without her nowadays. She was tired of living. Living alone...living so long...

---

Maito watched as Kera played with a neckles. The soup came and she gave it to Kera, and turned to have her own.

---

Kera chanted and was happy the food wasnt posioned or drugged she silently ate the soup while keeping alert at all times

---

[_Deleted_] gracefully enters the inn and orders a glass of wine. As she sips it she glances around the room, making mental notes of people of interest.

---

Kera silently ate her soup though she got nothing but its taste to keep her calm as she wacthed the rooma round her before she palced the bowl down. She licked her fangs and shuddered slightly as she loked for any prey to feed from.

---

Saradriel slowly makes her way next to Kera. "Hello there."

---

Her silver eyes darted up and the stranger "vendui'" (i greet you) she ssaid calmly with no emotion to her vioce in the least

---

Saradriel narrows her eyes just a little, a little taken back by her gruff greeting. Saradriel thinks a little before trying to start a conversation, thinking there was nothing to lose. "I am sorry to trouble you, but I am not from these parts...is there anything you could tell me about it?"

---

Kera shoke her head "no I aswell as most poeple in here are not from the area at all I am sorry to inform you of that but my name is Kera Beanre I didn't yet get your name."

---

Elariell eyed the newcomer for a long moment, not really wanting to intrude upon her time but curious all the same. He finished his mug of wine and motioned for another one fromt he bar.

---

Saradriel nods. "Hello, Kera. My name is Saradriel." She admires Kera's hair. "I have never seen anything like it. It's beautiful." She glances around the room, slightly curious to see if there are others like her. Her gaze caught the blonde haired, blue eyed elf in the room looking at her and grins a little, but she turns her attention back to Kera. "What exactly line of work are you in?"

---

Kera raised an eyebrow before answering " I am a high priestess of Eilistraee, I am also a long since retired fighter and bard." she gave sigh and placed her soup bowl down and sipt hre tea. " May i ask what is it that you do?"

---

From her semi-concious postion on the ground outside the inn Hatita stirred. There was great power nearby...inside the inn. Power that equalled hers...curious, she frowned in concentration and groggily spoke a few strings of charms. A tall blonde woman - with eyes...eyes that she had never seen in a mortal or simple magician....the source of the power.

---

Kera shifted uneasy in her chair she bit her lip as a fang cut into it she lloked around the room and let out long sigh trieng to keep her ivry fangs hidden from view.

---

Saradriel nods. "I have known some priestesses in my time." She becomes vague, "But that is a story for another time. I have no real line of work. I wander from place to place, looking for..." She sighs friendly, smiling, "I really don't know what I am looking for." She feels a slight tickling sensation behind her ear as if someone has just discovered her. She looks around the inn, but can't determine its orgin. She smiles at the young blonde elf in the corner momentarily. Saradriel examines Kera again, subtly from head to toe. "Perhaps we have more in common that I first thought."

---

Elariell looked with interest at this new arrival. He was curious in spite of himself, wondering what she was..

He did not want to get up just yet, she and the Drow were involved in conversation...

---

Kera merely nodded "Prehapes we do prehapes we do not." she closed her mouth and licked one of her fangs as she shifted her weight in her chair she growing uneasy near anyone at the moment she wrapt to cloak around herself and looked around from under her hood her silver eyes begune to blaze faintly. "What brings you here?"

---

Saradriel smiles, "Perhaps the same thing that brings anyone here." She smiles wider, showing her small demon fangs. She hides them again quickly, having made her point.

---

Kera noded seeing her point with her fangs " I see." she gave a shrug and adjusted her circlet her silvers eyes locked with the demoness she frowned "not much for telepathy." she shrugged again her eyes falshed as she satred at the demoness with slightly amusement her silver eyes still kind meaning no offense to her

---

Saradriel sips her wine a little. "I am sorry to hear that, but no matter. I don't believe you told me what brings you to this place."

---

Kera looked arounf and shifted in her chair "I do not know what brought me here i was going to leave but a friend of mine beg me to stay a while longer so I shall and when I no longer needed I will leave and possiable never return." she bowed her saddly "the thing is i have no home or family so I am a lost wander."

---

Saradriel's smile widened. "Ah, a wanderer too. A wanderer needs a purpose." she considered this a moment. "Let's wander together, shall we? Mercenaries?"

---

Kera tilted her head to the side and held out a black gloved hand "very well then it will be and honor to wander with you." she raised an eyebrow twichting uneasy needeing to fix her pony-tail

---

The power inside the inn seemed to increase. The joining of two parties. A union of power. Hatita fed off the excess power and grew stronger. Her eyes flickered open and she muttered a few charms to begin to replenish her dwindling magic. Ashamed and confused, the goddess clambered unsteadily to her feet and slipped once more inside the bar.

---

Saradriel shook Kera's hand in return, glad to have made a friend. She glanced up at the door as Hatita entered. Saradriel's eyes widened. She had a feeling that Hatita was a truly supreme being, and trembled.

---

Elariell looked over at the door opening, and seeing Hatita there, he stared for a moment. He saw the tired look in her eyes, like she had been weeping, and his eyes softened a moment before he looked back down at his drink.

He would wait a moment before speaking to her, remembering the slap she had given him...

---

Blearily....tiredly, the goddess looked around the room, aware of all the faces turned towards her. Her stomach lept to her throat when she felt the eyes of the elf upon her but she fought to remain calm and thought a charm to make herself less obtrusive. The spell cast, the inhabitants of the inn lost interest and Hatita stepped into the shadows along the walls of the inn. She felt great power resonating from the tall, blonde being and Kera from whom she had refused help before hand...

---

Kera seeing the goddess enter stode up from her spot and retreated to her room for the trest of the day feeling very uncomfortable near the goddess

---

Saradriel turned her attention to the elf she had smiled at earlier after Hatita seemed to have blended into the scene smoothly and after Kera left. She moved around the room, slowly making her way towards Elariel. She sat down at an empty table next to him and casually glanced his way a few times, thinking to herself that this elf seemed interesting as well as appealing.

---

Mya flew down from the rafters and perched on the table before Elariell as he pulled out the pouch at his side and lay it on the table. Finally Elariell managed a smile, and reaching out he scratched the white falcon under her beak.

"There you are." he chuckled, his mood lightening a little bit. He caught the glance from Saradriel and smiled at her. "Sorry if Mya has disturbed you, she can be impatient when she is hungry."

He left the pouch open, and watched as Mya easily picked out tidbits from it..

---

Saradriel smiles in return and studies the bird for a few moments. "She is lovely. I have never seen another one like her."

---

"She has been with me for a long time." Elariell said. "I cant imagine being iwthout her, she is more an old friend than a familiar."

As if realising she was being talked about, Mya finished her beakful of food and turned to look at this newcomer. She cocked her head and ruffled her feathers, mewling quietly.

"Her name is Mya, she is quite friendly." Elariell said, noting this. "She seems to like you."

---

Seeing the deamon and the elf - the sick and confused state returned to hatita. A wave of nostalgia swept over her as she fought of the desire to scream and cry and succumb to hystira once more. She steeled herself against it once more, took a deep breath in and turned away from the pair in search of Kera who had stalked from the room and her appearence....
