"All I need is for you to convince the girl that I'm telling the truth." Caleb said. He hoped that the man's words would convince the girl that he was telling the truth.

Mar shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm not the one to do that. I'm only here to keep her from trouble. It is up to her to believe you or not. You should be asking her, not me."

Caleb looked at the girl, "If you join me then I promise that you won't be harmed and that if your father finds out, I'll take the blame and be put to death. I promise that."

Kalri listened to the sincerity in his voice. She wanted to believe him, wanted to help him. Maybe if she did the madness within her would fade once and for all. She looked to him and spoke gravely. "There is something you should know first before you seek alliegance with me of any sort. I am...different." She looked at him knowing he would not understand what she meant. She reached to his mind gently. She was still under the influence of the drugs so maybe she could risk it. 'If you seek an ally in me, you should know something first. Feel my mind. Be warned though, Mar is the only one, besides my father, who has touched it and survived.' She carefully lowered her defenses, slightly as the darkness and madness churned within her mind like a dark, black boiling sea of evil.

Mar knew what she was doing, and he wasn't sure that it was the right path to take. He stood close by, should he need to interfere somehow.

Caleb wairly entered her mind. He was strong enough to handle it, but he didnt go deep inside. The darkness, the pain, the suffering, it was almost to much to bear. He withdrew from her mind as quikcly as he went in and stubbled backwards, his breathing as labored as he had just ran 100 miles. "You are different, but to me different is good, and your still beautiful." he said, slipping into unconsiousness.

Kalri felt Caleb skim the surface of her mind, then he withdrew quickly. She closed her eyes and lowered her head as he spoke to her. 'He called me beautiful again.' She watched as he struggled to breathe, then fell unconscious. She tried but could do nothing more than catch him as he fell. "Mar I cannot access my magic yet. It is still bound by the drugs." She lowered him slowly to the ground. She felt his heart and it was beating, his breathing continued to be labored as he struggled for breath. Unable to do anything for him, Kalri backed away staring at his still form. "Not again!" she shook her head back and forth, muttering over and over again under her breath. She placed her hands to the sides of her head as if to shut out the madness of the thoughts within.

Mat stepped forward, helping Caleb breath with magic.
"He will be alright, Kalri," he said, looking at her. "Here." He gave her a small wooden bear. "Take this. Whenever you feel it, rub this statue."

Kalri rubbed the bear totem. She stood nearby watching Caleb, she arms crossed in front of her. She rocked slowly back and forth. "Mar I am done. Watch after him." She turned to leave. Caleb had tried to kidnap her but then he had saved her. Now he lay unconscious. Another life for her to ruin.

Mar looked at Kalri as she began to walk off.
"Don't go far," he said, returning his attention to Caleb. "I don't want to have to track you down again."

Kalri heard him but she wasn't listening. She continued to walk, nowhere in particular. She was tired. Tired of the voices, tired of the pain, tired of the constant battles around her. Mostly she was tired of life.

Mar set Caleb against a small boulder and tree, to help support his back and head.
"Rest easy, rider," he said aloud.

There was darkness all in his mind, his hate rearing it's head. "I'm not worried about you, I can use you for good." Caleb said it. He knew how to deal his hate after so long, but the girl, he had to help her. Caleb slowly came to, seeing only one person in the clearing. "Where's the girl?" Caleb asked. "Please forgive me, I don't even know your names."

Mar grinned at the man, taking a step back.
"It is quiet alright, Caleb. But, I'm afraid that for now you must only know me as one willing but unable. The girl has gone off to think. She will be fine, just give her time. The light in her is more powerful than the dark, though she does not realize it."

"I need her help, do you think she will give it?" Caleb asked, his eyes pleading for a friend and ally.
