Gage appeared in the forest outside. His dark gauntlets glowing brightly, he walked silently through the trees. His tail moving calmly behind him. His eyes just seeming to stare into space in a daydream.

"I came to be her friend after socializing with her after Yawgmoth's shadow attack. She was a very kind woman as you said. Also, I sympathized with her being that her husband had recently suffered a grave wound from the neck down by Yawgmoth.
As it turned out though, I had no idea her mother had relations with my archenemy Aliator, and as soon as Lady Alice was delivered into his hands. I immeditely sought a way to free her from his grip.
Aliator learned of my relationship to Alice, and so, he thought it fun to order her to assassinate me. An assult he knew I would never suspect.
Lady Alice could not betray him, for even if she did, he would simply send someone else.
Instead, she did what she was told. With a dagger laced in dragonbane, I was slain. But then, Lady Alice used the power of her blood to restore my life and boost my power, thus finding a loophole in Aliator's orders, and allowing me to strike back against him.
I never found a way to free her, but when she spared me, I knew she would always be the same kind Alice no matter who she served."

Listening to his story, she could not help but smile. "That sounds exactly like Alley. I am pleased she was able to help you." she said softly.

"I can't help but fear that you may end up like her. You are like her in many ways."

"My master taught me well. I can assure you that I am .. as some say .. the most neutral person they know. Rarely do I .. what is it considered, taking sides? I go on my own. If one needs help, I will help. I thank you for your concern yet will assure you that I will be alright, you need not worry." she said softly with a smile. "Is there anything I may say or questions you may have to put your mind at ease on this matter?" she asked boldly, sincerely wanting to make sure he was accepting of what she was saying.

"Hm, you remind me of someone else in RDS who wanted to stay as neutral as possible too," Skyeheart said with a smirk. "Lady Mercina.
She was much more standoffish and even wary of who to talk to. But I'm afraid it was her neutrality that eventually killed her."

Gage grinned deeply and chuckled loud enough for the two others in the outside to hear his chuckle softly. Gage was back... And he was his old self again...

"Who's there?"
Skyeheart turned with his claw on his hilt.

"I see." she said softly. Looking to him, she was honestly not sure where he was going with this, what he wanted with her. Realizing this, she decided to ask. "I am wondering .. why are you saying these things tonight? Why are you concerned about my life? There is much about myself that you do not know. Despite speaking English, I have spoken Elven most of my life, the Ancient Language where one may not lie .. because of that, I do not lie when speaking English either. I would be willing to say this again in the ancient language, do you know the language?" she asked kindly, wanting to do what she could to put his mind at ease. "Seisuke-ona also has been very kind and helpful to me since the first moment I arrived here. I know that he too would speak of my honesty. Together we are working to do good things not just for ourselves but for the greater good."
Hearing laughter, she stopped talking and turned to see where the source was coming from. Tilting her head, she recognized a familiar form. "Gage."

"I understand some of it, since the language derives with the draconian verse.
I am sorry for being a bit anxious. I just don't ever want to be betrayed again like I was in my homeland."
He looked at Ziven. "You know him Lady Ziven?"

She looked at Skye with a somber expression. Speaking in the Ancient language, she repeated her words in case he missed any. "I will not betray you, Skyeheart, providing that your purpose remains noble." she said to him. She provided the part about being noble in case he himself ever had a moment of darkness, she would gladly 'betray' someone if they were to be doing something evil.
Turning th e conversation now to the mysterious man in the shadows, she nodded her head to Skye. "Aye, I know him somewhat. Please be aware that he is very quiet, it is uncommon for him to speak unless he has something important to say. Also .. We are not on good terms .. It may be best if I leave soon." she said softly, lowering her head slightly but her eyes continued to look in the direction of the chuckle.

"I understand."
Skyeheart placed himself between the two.
"State your business, if you have none, leave."

True to himself, Skye placed himself between she and the person who had the possibility of being aggressive as if he were a human shield. The slightest amount of color moved to her cheeks before she spoke again. "Peace, Skyeheart. All will be well." as she said this, she realized that she was a bit uneasy. Thinking to earlier that week, she remembered something. Feeling the same odd feeling as before, she placed a hand lightly over her stomach.

"Lady Ziven?" Skyeheart noticed her holding her stomach.
"You're not sick are you?"

"Not at all. Just .. we may have company soon, friendly company." she said with an odd grin. Turning away from the pair, she looked in the direction of the cliff. "Shall we continue our walk?"
