She sat in the great room and watched the fire
glowing in the fireplace. Suddenly she heard footsteps
coming down the long hall. But, alas they were not
Soul's or Sabre's. A tall handsome man, who bore a
slight resemblance to Soul came into the room.
"Excuse me M'Lady. Mystique is it? We have not yet met.
My name is Darien. Darien MacKermac. I am Erich's
cousin." He extends his hand to her.
Myst looks up at
him and smiles lightly and reaches out and shakes his
hand. "I am glad we have finally met. And call me
Mystique or Myst, I am really not one for the
formalities." Myst stands and looks at Darien. "You do look
like Soul, I can see the resemblance. Is there
something I can do for you?" He looks at her, "They should
be arriving soon, the Captain suggested that a small
party go out and meet them and escort them into the
Keep. There have been more traps and such that have
been set that my cousin does not know of yet. I
suggested to the Captain that perhaps you and I should be
the ones who go. Would you be willing to?"
Myst
smiles lightly again, her eyes glowing brighter. "Don't
give it a second thought, yes I will. Let me go change
and we can go." She doesn't wait for a response and
runs upstairs to her room and quickly dons her armour
and weapons. She returns to the great room and she
and Darien head out to the stables. They mount their
horses and move quickly out the gates.
