Elenanna looked at the younger elf, and she looked at the man. "Don't kill her."

Adatsrea winced when he grabbed her by the neck. She shifted uncomfortably at his comment. Then thought for a moment, was she not afraid to die? She closed her eyes, she had a slight fear of death, but that is what kept her alive in Mordor...what got her out. She didn't want to die, but would take death over betraying Valinor to men like him.

Neracelc smiled.

"What I expected... now... back off and let me leave, but no... I won`t kill her... she is too... expensive for that..."

He smiled and turned his horse galloping to the forest, if the elf followed she knew that he would kill his victim and besides she would have another problem around her.

A Forest Fire

Elenanna looked around, and she sighed. "Let's go, Shadowpax." The mare whickered, before galloping a different way.

Angry boiled up inside her at this man. She looked back and watched as Elenanna faded from sight. She would get others....at least she hoped so. She fought aginst the gag in her mouth. It reminded her of what orcs used to give her so she would stay quiet at night. She looked at his arms and then at the distance inbetween his arms and the horse. If she could just go limp and slide off, that is the only thing she could think of. She looked at her surroundings, keeping each tree, each landmark in mind. She wondered whether they were going to stop and rest. A horse could not make the distance without rest. It was three days away. She would wait until nightfall, if they did stop she would try to escape then, if not, then she would go ahead with the only idea she had.

He raced the horse in the light of the burning forest, he rode on for hours until stopped and made a camp, he assembled very professional traps around his camp, which was on a small cliff.

He took the rag out of his victim`s mouth that he had placed near the fire to lean on a rock, he cooked some meat and pieces of bread in a small pot with a small smile on his face. He looked at his victim.

"Don`t worry about me eating this all on my own.. you can get some, if you don`t try tricks... otherwise you can eat dust...but if a food doesn`t taste then It`s your choice..."

He leaned back and watched the fire slightly calmed with a small smile on his face.


After this one he could leave this business and live the rest of his life somewhere as a rich man without having to worry about carying or killing maggots like her around

Elenanna leaned over as her mare jumped over a branch. She looked around, and soon came out of the forest.

She didn't respond to his tormenting words. She licked her lips as soon as the gag was taken out and wrinkled her nose slightly in disgust. She sat silently watching the fire and glanced at him and watched as he just sat smiling to himself. "Why do you enjoy the way you live your life? Do you get a sense of satisfaction from killing innocent people?"

She rubbed her neck slightly, the blood was dry and the cut closed up, but it did not take any sting from it. She was tired and scared, but she refused to show it. This was not a man to care about a damsel in destress. The only way she was going to have even the slightest chance was to be hard and calloused to him and everything around her.

"Why do you enjoy the way you live your life? Do you get a sense of satisfaction from killing innocent people?"


Neracelc laughed slightly and shooked his head.

"I never claimed that I liked it, but you don`t just jump on to another path and besides i am good on this path so I`ll go it to the end until I have either enough money to live for the rest of my life or until some like Elenanna Lothendhel comes to your rescue and ends my days...."

He grinned slightly.

"Some are just born in to a better place...but every world has it`s evil duers and I just am destinied to be one, but yes.... I do enjoy hurting some people... they are all arrogant and foolish until I come they can`t just see truths in their miserable lives...."

He took some of the food and placed it in front of her.

"Eat... I am not going to untie you because then you would only throw that at me... you eat like a dof or you don`t eat at all..."

He took some in his own cup and poured it down slowly like a drink time after time.

Elenanna sighed softly, and she shook her head, before looking at the burning forest.

Adastrea looked at the food he put before her. She didn't eat meat, but for now she had to do with what she got. She ate it with some struggle, only to keep herself from weakening. She thought about Elenanna, hoping she got out of the fire alright. Long had Adastrea served her mother, as a cover up. No one would think a hand maiden would be from the lines of royalty. She looked over at him again, "Balor is a theif and a liar. He has sent many after me, only to pay them but a few pieces of silver. Not even enough to buy a servant, since that is all I am. His price goes down, when someone complains he kills them. I have seen it happen many times. Some went as far as to set me free just to get some revenge. He is not going to pay you anywhere near as much as you think he will"

Neracelc tsked loudly and pointed at her with his finger.

"That is the talk of a desperate person who knows that their doom is coming, but well id he doesn`t pay me enough I gues I`ll just have to kill him and take the rest of his money..."

Elenanna turned back, and she saw a rocky section, and pushed her mare toward it.

When he tsked at her and told her that she was talking like a desperate person she was silent a moment and smirked. "How do you know that I am desperate? You know nothing about me, my name, who I am, why Balor is after me and even how we knew each other. If there is one thing I do well, it is acting, my lord. I could be dying and act as though I am perfectly fine, or I could be healthy and appear as though I am dying. I could hate you with the utmost intensity and appear as if I were inlove with you or I could be inlove with you and appear as if I truely hate you. I could be nothing but a slave from Lothlorien who was passed around from family to family as a child or I could be the daughter of the Valar and capable of more than you could imagine. I could have hated Balor from the beginning or I could have courted him until he found out too much. You would never know because I can fool anyone."

"Let me ask you this...why turn me in to Balor when you could just kill him and get all the money you desire from him? Which would not be much...he spends his money foolishly. It seems a little pointless, does it not?"

Neracelc smirked slightly to the elf and nodded slightly.

"Like I didn`t know of that elf... but really you would have to be a good actor to be seriously wounded and stay that calm... that would be almost admirable...but if you want to do so then fine..."

Neracelc placed his sword on her shoulder.

"Shall we?"

As the cold surface or the sword was set on her shoulder she shivered. She looked up at him, biting her lip slightly. Not quite sure what he wanted. She hid any sign of fear very quickly. "I have a name, you could at least call me by it intead of calling me 'elf' and 'prey' all the time" She muttered, slightly annoyed with the pet names he chose for her. She didn't move, but sat staring up at him, the cold blade still over her shoulder.
