He returned to the Belarus estates to clock out and report his insubordination. However upon filing the report he was arrested. The guards pinned him down hard as they placed the cuffs on him and took him to the holding pen. He got to his knees and lowered his head. He sat there and waited to be told what will happen to him. He heard the door slam and he was left there. He closed his eyes and took the time to contemplate the actions he had commited.

"Gabriel..." Sarah was a good woman at times. Other times she was hard, because she saw so much more in people then what they were doing. She found that Gabriel had so much more potential then what he was showing as of late. That was the only reason he had been pushed so hard. The probation was merely to see if Gabriel could come out on top.

Slowly she moved to his side, holding an umbrella over his head. A soft and kind motherly smile upon her lips as she spoke," Walk with me Gabriel. There is something I must show you." She would wait. Watching the rain fall around the umbrella like little invading drops that could not puncture the shield provided.

Sarah was leading him back to her and Dust's personal estate. It had been a while since she had done much of anything, let anyone even call at that location. Once there, she didn't enter, she just simply went around the back. They walked through a garden filled to the brim with all kinds of flowers. None of them looked like they were even from Earth let alone Rhy'din.

When she got to the center of the garden, she settled herself upon a small crate. Dust would remember it, if he knew it was there. She drew in a deepened breath and gave the crate a small kick," I wanted you to see this first hand..."

She swallowed lightly, her smile faltered for a moment before she spoke again," This was where I lived, in this box before Dust found me... It was blizzard conditions and he took me to the hall to get warm."

"I was a stranger to Dust, he could have given a rats arse about me. But you know what he did? He swore then and there that he would protect me, keep the shadows from taking me." She lifted up her neck to show how free of necklaces it was, not even a loose one was wrapped about her neck.

"For months I felt the cold kiss of shadows bound around my neck. At any moments notice, shadows would seep up from the ground and take me to my Master's bidding. I was a pawn of a cold and cruel plot thanks to my stupidity in the past. And I must admit, I still tend to be stupid from time to time in my present." Sarah gave him a weak smile," I do things that caused you trouble when I should have understood the trouble you were experiencing. However, as a soldier you were trained to put your heart separate from your mind, but use it to keep you strong every day."

Copper gaze turned up towards the stars and she drew in a breath," Out there is no different. The Nano Empire is coming, I know, I can feel it. Why do you think I keep sneaking away? Because each and everyday I look through the streets of Rhy'din for that one clue I'm looking for... The brotherhood."

"They won't care if you're having issues in your family life, or if you miss your husband so desperately that you don't sleep anymore. No. To you they're just a being that is ripe for the killing and to them... I'm a Core that has no right existing." Pausing she drew in a deep breath," They did what ever they could to make sure that Dust's body was destroyed back on Corbin, but they had forgotten his Core. They won't forget about it again... Now that they know he's out there on the front lines, fighting to keep the Nanos at bay. We're the back line, Gabriel, and the brotherhood will be the first to come marching through the back door. It could be this very minute, or it could be years. Either way... We had given you such a position because we were depending on you to keep this world for the Empire safe. It is after all, the home to so many, including yourself."
