So it goes on



Anriett took her way towards the west of Enedwaith, avoiding every person and places she could be seen. Mostly she was walking, was leading her horse until she found an abandoned small shanty. Looked like it's an empty place and nobody was around these days. She stopped by it and led her horse back to a rock to hide it in the case she would have visitors. Took her belongings with her.

She walked into the small house carefully to scan it. It was empty, only wood piles, pitchforks and ropes were in it. She put down her bedroll and weapons, just took a deep breath when a dagger landed at her throat. She stopped breathing for a moment...the scent of that person back to her was familiar to her.
- I know this scent... - she whispered
Some kind of laughing could be heard back to her.
- Sure you know Anriett, you enjoyed it last night. I know you did!
With that the man moved his dagger from her and placed a kiss on her head.
- You need to be more careful woman.
- Do you think I care about death? You do smell like an egoistic hero...still you do Daev.
The man would grab her and grinning at her, when Anriett moves her hand to cover his mouth to make him silent.
- Did you hear that?

She turns back and silently goes outside. A little girl would stand in front of her. She has a long black hair, dark black eyes and wearing shabby clothes. Moving her finger to her mouth to show them she is hungry.
Anriett turns back and searching her bag, grabbing an apple from it and hands it towards the child.
- What are you doing woman? She will tell them we are hiding here!
- Don't be an idiot please...it's just a hungry child.
The little girl would take the apple from her and running away from them.

- How did you find me?
He would chuckle and says...
- Was easy to hunt you down girl.
She is rolling her eyes and sits down on her bedroll. Handing the picture to him.
- I have a use of you anyway. I need to catch that man and you can easily enter the local camps without questioning you.
- I can...or could! Why would I help you?
- You would not be here if you do not wish to help me. Am I right?
The man kneels down in front of her and smiling, handing the paper back.
- You got me Anriett. I am here to help you.
- Good answer Daev.
