Lathem could feel Einar noticing him, but it was too late. His insane side took over, causing him to stand up and scream to the heavens above. Tears spilled from his cheeks, hitting the rooftop. The scream that escaped him could be heard for miles around, his heart aching and breaking in two. He choked on his tears and let them fall, his eyes and throat burning. He turned his head to the sun and said over and over, "Why? What have I done?" He turned his eyes away from it towards the Spine. "ZAMAH!" The bloodcurdling scream brought tears to many eyes, then making them wonder why. They didn't know this insane man. Why should they cry?
Lathem fell to his knees, sobs wracking his body and making him shiver. He gazed at the edge of the roof and saw his escape from this wretched misery. He stood up, stopping his crying, and brought the palm with the Gedwey Ignasia up to his lips. He kissed it and then replaced his arm to his side, knowing what he must do. He felt a surge of energy and took advantage of that moment. He ran forward, actually noticing how far up he was, and jumped from the edge, closing his eyes and waiting for his death. It never came. However, the pain did. He felt his bones crush as he hit the ground and he heard the scream coming from his lips. He remembered the pain from his sword stabbing into him, blood gushing from the middle of his chest. He stared up at the sun and saw an image of his dragon. A menacing smile came upon his face and he felt his life escaping from him. He closed his eyes thinking of how he was going to see his mother again. She would see the man that he had become. His consciousness escaped him, but the smile stayed on his face.
OCC: Whewf, that's what happens when you listen to an emotional song about 50 times in a row lol

Nerasa tensed up and she could also feel someone watching them. She had no idea who but it didn't matter at this current time or place. She had to know why the presence was here and what for, for it could mean more trouble for her and the others then it did for anyone else. Nerasa could hear a loud thud and she turned to look at a mangled body with the body also had blood gushing out of his chest.
"What should we do about this one? We can't just let him die we should try and attempt to save him." said nerasa.
OCC: Backabuth I don't know if you want your character to survive. Do you want him dead?

Arrogant. Condescending. Pig-headed. She mumbled to herself. Doc I changed my mind. I'm coming to you. Are you done ranting yet? The purple dragon asked trying to lighten her mood. He could feel how angry she was. Mud-laden wart on a toad's behind! Yeah! I think I'm done now! Aethelwyne felt her breath come in hurried, heavy waves. Her anger almost overtaking her.
Before rounding the corner to the busy square she again waved her hand over her face donning the guise of a 13 year old, mousy-haired farm boy. Her clothes and stature changed to match. Altering her appearance was one of the first things she learned in the coven. The witches were delighted the first time she did it at the age of 2 and made it a game. So began her training.
She exited the town unnoticed and met Edoc'sil near the stream. As she approached she waived off her guise and noticed steam rising off the water with dead fish on the bank downstream. "What happened here? she asked surveying the area. The dragon looked at her playfully. I had come to get a drink and, pardon me but, the whole scene in the corridor amused me so. I laughed so hard, fire escaped me and heated the stream. Hungry?
At this Aethelwyne too began laughing as the last of her anger left her. Playfully Edoc'sil shouldered her, knocking her into the water. Bathe now while I finish making dinner. Chuckling to himself he gathered fish gently between his teeth. Leaning back, she let herself go under the water. It had been pretty amusing. Removing her gown, she tossed it up to the dragon. "Make yourself useful and dry that would you?" She smiled at her companion then went about her ritual bath. Watching her Edoc'sil thought how she didn't look like any of the coven witches. In fact, the only thing they had in common was the crescent moon halved by the dagger tatoo on the small of her back denoting her training and membership in the coven.
They ate speaking of the events of the day and Edoc'sil asked her what her thoughts on the matter were. "I don't know. The way things transpired, it feels like a test of some kind to me. We shall have to wait and see."
They spent the rest of the afternoon lying under the shade of a giant oak tree by the stream. As the sun began to set, she bade her friend farewell and returned to the inn in Aberon under the guise of Mica.

Nerasa walked over to the man who was broken in every which way and she raise her hand and said the words to heal him where blood was gushing out. She knew that it wouldn't be enough but it would stop the bleeding for now.
"We need to move him but carefully. It would be a mess if someone else saw him just lying here and broken." said Nerasa.

Marola glanced at the elf, wondering why she was helping this stranger. (ooc: this freaky stranger! lol)
"Why? It is obvious this boy wanted to end his life. Why else would he have jumped off the rooftop? It would be better just to leave him here and let him die. He is a mangled mess; it is unlikely he will survive even if we tried to help him. I have no interest in helping every poor wretch with a death wish." She said this coldly and watched for the elf's reaction.

"Why?! The reason why is that no life deserves an ending like this. Plus everyone deserves a second chance. Do you not beleive in second chances? Your a dragon rider but I guess your tainted if you don't want to help those that need help and give help to those who really don't need it." snapped nerasa.
"I guess you refuse to help anyone except yourself, and him, along with your dragon." said Nerasa lightly nodding to Einar.

"I help those I am required to help," Marola snapped back, "As for why I do what I do, I have no interest in explaining my intentions to a stranger. An elf, no less!" In he anger, she jerked back her head suddenly, causing he hood to fall back and Rauthr to fly away suddenly. She gazed at Lathem with contempt.
"He is neither my friend, nor my enemy. For that reason, I will neither help nor harm him. Help him if you wish. I have better things to do." With that, she sauntered away and picked up her sword, then stood by, waiting for Einar to give her instructions so she could complete her mission and leave this rebellious country.

"Is my race like a disease to you, human? I am surprised that Glabatorix, although he is still human, even let your father live after he and selena had murtagh. He also should have killed Morzan, your father, before he even met your mother. Your race came here way after we were here. Its your race that made this country fall apart. Technically, because your king is human, your race should be blamed for what has happened. I should be looking at your race like you were the disease. I have ten friends who are human and that is all and they don't look at my race as vermin as you do." said Nerasa, anger boiling in her blood.
"If I were you I would choose my words wisely." she continued.

Marola's anger boiled within her.
"How dare you speak of my father that way?! My father was a better, nobler man than any of your race has ever been! And he loved my mother. How do you even know what they were like? You should be certain of who you are speaking to. I shall avenge my father, even if I must personally destroy each and every member of the Varden. It was their founder who murdered him! I saw it happen! And now I must honor my father and avenge him!" Suddenly blinded by her hate, Marola drew her sword and charged at Nerasa, intending to kill her, murderous hatred burning in her eyes.

Nerasa who's sword was still lose drew it quickly and side stept the human. She had to admit this was going terribly wrong but it was the way things had to work out. Nerasa easily perried the attack that the human launched at her with speed no human or other dragon rider could compete with.
"If your father was so noble then how could he have died at the hands of Brom and after your mother died he went with selena?" asked Nerasa without any struggle.
She was ready for the attack keeping in mind to move a whole lot faster then the human and to do it without hesitation.

Marola knew she had no chance against the elf, but she was determined to destroy her or die trying.
"What my father did in his life is no business of yours. I do not know what all he did, or why he did them. All I know is that he loved me and my mother, and, in return of that love, I must avenge him. Brom was a murderer. I watched him as he picked my father's sword up off the ground and, as my father stood there, unarmed, killed him right before my eyes! Had you witnessed your father's death wouldn't you promise to avenge him?" She halted her attack, waiting to see the elf's reaction.

"I would and I have avenged my father. I am not saying your father wasn't a good man he probably was and if he didn't go over to the king he would have been a better man. I don't want to kill you and I don't want to hurt you I know what I said about your father was wrong I have did meet him once before he became crazy. He was good but I am saying what he did wasn't right and the king had no right to take your father and make your father become what he did. He would have been greater if the king didn't make him one of the forsworn." said Nerasa not putting her guard down.
"I am sorry for what I said but I did mean but I also meant it what I said just now. Although I despise your father and I hate him for what he did but I am giving you my honesty because your father did become mean and dispicable at the end. Its the truth and I am not going to go against myself or what I believe in for I know things that many would think foolish. Just beleive me I have seen a lot of pain and I can feel your anger and pain for loosing your father." said honestly Nerasa.

Marola grew angrier still as Nerasa continued to speak. How dare this...this elf...speak of her father like that?
"My father was not crazy. He was not mean nor despicable nor any of those other things you say about him. He devoted himself to the king's rule, as I have." She gritted her teeth together, tired of this talk and fight. Rauthr flew down to her and expressed as desire for her to stop. She stared into the elf's eyes, still burning with hatred.
"Rauthr has asked me to stop this. I am weary of this anyway. Pray we never meet again, for the day that happens, it will announce the death of us both." With that, Marola turned and walked away, Rauthr crawling on the ground beside her.

"I was trying to apologise and you refuse. Are you so blind that you don't see an apology when its right in your face? I knew your father well enough to know that he did go crazy. But...have it your way if your that blind to the truth. When the day comes will it produce the death of both of us? I will tell you now that we will see each other probably more often then you know, I promise you that daughter of Morzan. Maybe we can come to terms some day and we will forget our differences and that we are both close to equals." said Nerasa bowing sarcasticly with a smirk.
'Marflamel you have enough room to come down and show yourself. Come on the square is big enough for you.' said Nerasa.
'I will come down.' said marflamel who dived down and landed just out of sight around the corner.
'stay there till I tell you.' said nerasa.
'yes.' he said.
