She slipped past the guards at night. It really wasn't hard to get away for her. She had been paying attention to the lessons in shadow magics. She wasn't as strong as her twin, but she was good enough to get away.
The incident with the slaver had her freaked. The man slid through her mental defenses as if they were nothing. He ignored the combined push between her and her twin. She was glad when mom showed up. She was even happier when her grandfather slid in to sever that contact.
The incident still had her upset and needing to get some time to herself away from the cities and intrigues. She packed the gear she would need for the cold weather, and slipped into the kitchen to snag some food. She didn't want to disturb her uncle's household with her problems.
She made her way into the wilderness past the boundaries of Gharnholme. She wanted peace and quiet and needed to get away. The Dawnsbreak Mountains would be the place to go. She had made sure to prepare for the snows. The temperature was starting to drop and she did not like to be unprepared.
She faded into the wilderness with so many thoughts on her mind. She missed her father and that big lug, Cyric. She even missed the drow, especially Bintyl, that she worked with in her mother?s troops.
She never felt more alone than after that intrusion by the slaver. She fought the tears threatening to spill onto her cheeks. She was determined not to give him a victory.
