Audrina smiled in relief,keeping secrets from ones leader was a recipe for disaster and she had made a promise to herself that she wouldn't betray Nasuada's trust like that.Not after all the varden leader had done for her."My thanks friend,it eases my conscious to inform her,rest assured she will keep your secret in strictest confidence."
Frowning,her face turned troubled, mulling over the former slave's bondage to her master."I know not what controls her but,as Syianna said,its very likely that he bound her in the ancient language,other than that.."She shrugged her shoulder in hopelessness,her face constricted as she imagined Adria's predicament,wanting so bad to just walk away,but being bound.
Her eyes hardened suddenly,turning the liquid tawny to twin solid amber gems.She would help this young slave,free her from the bond that constricted her,slay her master,delve into the flow of magic through her veins,anything to free her from the seemingly unbreakable bonds of slavery that held her.
She couldn't help her family,they had been cut down before her eyes.She couldn't help her friends,they had already perished in the southern heat or gone thier own way long ago.She couldn't help all the slaves in Alageasia,but she could help this one.So be it Audrina thought,desire to help this girl,to end Galbatorix's reign of misery corsing through her.She couldn't help all those others,but she could help AdriaWe shall fight together little one Syianna broadcasted her thoughts,To the endAye,to the endAloud,Audrina spoke with ringing conviction,her mouth forming the songlike syllables of the ancient language"What ever be needed to help this one,we shall do as our duty as riders to the people of Alageasia."

As Gianna further pondered Adira's affliction, she noticed the play of emotions in Audrina's eyes. Then the woman spoke, and Gianna was filled with inspiration. Gladia was similarily affected, and the dragon lifted her head and crooned at the sky. Lifting her own voice, Gianna said in reply to Audrina's words, "As riders, none shall suffer from oppression and injustice." Her own words spoken in the ancient language, at the end of the sentence, Gianna felt a tingle go through her. She wondered briefly if she had just unknowingly bound herself with magic. Gladia's voice entered her mind. I find her familiar. Gianna glanced at Gladia.
Who? The dark purple dragon glanced at her rider with an eye.
Adira. Gianna's eyebrows drew down in concentration, and she gazed closely at the bound slave. If her dark hair were swept back, and if she were wearing a fancy gown... Recognition struck her, and she struggled against new emotions.
I do know her, now that you mention it. You were only a hatchling then.

Adira noticed Gianna looking at her with a curious expression. She stared back, a faint strand of memory walking through her mind. She remembered a ball Barobus had brought her to. He was showing her off to the other nobles. He had her break the mind of a young man there. After that...nightmares still persisted. She recalled seeing a red-haired woman there...with a tiny purple dragon wrapped around her arm.
"You...you were both there that night?" she asked, trying to block the memory from her mind.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? Stigandr howled out of anger and pain at Einar.
Covered in blood and his mask nicked, Einar spat onto the floor. "What was necessary." His crazed eyes scanned the bloody and burnt scene. The whole encampment was covered with blood and flames; no one and nothing was left alive, save for Einar and Stigandr.
YOU FOOL! Stigandr growled out and snapped the air. DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!?!
"I got rid of the problem." His hand touched his mask lightly, where it was cut. He scoffed, that last man was hard to kill, even nearly sliced his face if not for Einar's elven speed.
You murdered them! Stigandr cried out, smoke steaming from his nostrils.
Einar simply shrugged. "They were a nuisance and I was saving Gianna."
Is that the excuse!? What has happened to you my rider?! Stigandr cried out, but in a lower volume.
Einar didn't answer, for he was unsure himself.

OOC: Yeah...I'm debating on whether or not making him insane...or...self righteous, in terms of him doing what ever it took to reach his goals (i.e protecting Gianna and bringing down the Empire).

Gianna had to take a moment to find her voice, memories of that one ball resurging. The night had been one of pleasure and of pain, emotionally anyways. "Yes." She managed to say, walking slowly towards Adira. "We were. I'm sorry I could not help you then. I was new, Gladia was only a hatchling... I'm sorry."
Gladia shook her head, as if to shake off flies. Do not be sorry. There was nothing you could do. She will understand. Be glad that you can help her now. Gianna nodded, comforted by the deep amethyst dragons words. "Adira, why did you go back to Barobus? I'm surprised the king would allow it..." she stopped speaking, wondering if Adira could answer those questions in her present state of being.

You imbecile! Now what are you going to tell the King?! Stigandr verbally lashed out at Einar.
Einar simply shrugged. "Simple. They were dead when we arrived.[/i] He sounded distant....but smug as well.
Have you no honor!? You murdered these men. Stigandr continued.
AND WHERE WERE YOU!? Einar's mind retaliated with anger.
I?!...I... Stigandr stopped short, knowing that he did nothing to stop Einar.
"You are as much to blame as I." He answered his own question, with what Stigandr was thinking.
Einar....this cannot continue...
Not until they're all dead. Not until...HE is dead. Einar snarled with disgust.
Einar hopped onto Stigandr. "Let us go report this. I am eager to learn of any new slayers."
Will you do the same do them as you did to these men?
Einar's face hardened.
Let go of your hate, Einar...it will destroy us both.
"Will you leave to if I don't?"
No, my young Rider. I will face the very gates of Hell with you, but I want you to feel some matter of peace.
I do...as long as she's safe and alive...I do. Einar gazed off in the direction of Surda.
Stigandr's long neck bobbled with a nod and he took off into the sky towards Ura'bean.
