Eric walks down the stairs and walks to the bar; he looks around the bar and sees that it is empty. He shrugs and turns to Nud.

"Can I get a glass of water Nud?" He asks.

The gully dwarf starts to fill a glass full of water; he sighs and sits at one of the stools at the bar. Nud hands him the glass. Eric puts down a couple of steel. Then puts down a few more saying "Buy some new teeth dwarf." Nud smiled and goes off into the kitchen. Eric takes a sip of his water. He senses someone else in the room and turns around, but there was no on there. He blinks a few times, and then turns back around. He still feels the presence, but dismisses it.

"You are up early," A voice from behind him says. Eric jumps and turns around, mutters something and a ball of fire form within his hands he stops and looks around the room, but sees no one or no thing. The fire disappears into a gray smoke and then the smoke rises and disappears. He sighs, still tense. He starts to sit back down but then he sees Leeanna walking downstairs. He smiles, looking at her; she is young and so beautiful. At the moment, he felts something he has never felt or forget the he could feel it. Love. He loved his sister so much, not that she was with him once again. He was scared; he has never had a sister, cause she was to young to know him when she was supposedly killed. But that would never happened again. He told himself that he would protect her at all cost, even if it meant killing or being killed himself.

"Hello Leeanna, sleep well?" He asked her. At the moment, he knew that it was her that was talking to her through his mind. It surprised him, but he did not ask about it. Not yet anyway.

He looks at her and gave a faint smile. "I guess."

"Would you like a drink?"

She shakes her had "No,thank you."

"Are you up to answer some questions?" He asks, With a concerned look on his face.

She nods and walks to an empty table and sits. Eric follows her and sits across the table from her and looks at her.

She looks at him, her eyes are sad, but not as sad was they where yesterday. She sighs and takes a deep breath. "Well I guess I have to start from where I remember. I really do not remember much until I was about 8." She says. Eric just looks at her, not saying anything while she goes through her story. Come to find out, she was stolen by the Barbarians the ram sacked his village when he was young. The took her to there village and made a slave of her. Since she was 8 or maybe younger, even thought she can not remember. They made her do everything they wanted. She cooked, cleaned and so on for the whole village. When she was 15 she was raped by the Chieftain of the village. After a while, ever male raped her, many of them once or twice a week. Soon she became the bearer of children for the villages? women that could not bare children. She had many, she can not remember exactly, but maybe 10-15. She was beaten and worked to the bone. She was forced to sleep with the animals on straw. She was feed bread and water and maybe a few meager scraps. When she was 17 she was almost beaten to death by one of the villagers. Then she decided to flee, hard, as it might be she would do it.

Eric sat there, entranced by the story. He winces at the bad parts, almost feeling the pain she has suffered. He sat there, just looking at her while she went on with her story.

"Well when I was 17 I decided the I could not take much more of it. So one night, when they where all asleep, I snuck out of the barn. Even thought they had gardes, I knew a way through the woods that I would not get caught. So I left their village and just started to run and run, running for my live. For if I got caught, I would have been killed sure enough" She sighs, she looked tired and warn out. Eric looked at her and shook his head. She continued after a pause.

"I ran for a while, but got to tired and fall. I lay on the ground, just to tired to get up and continue. So I laid there and sleep. I woke up some hour's later, still confused, cause I did not know where I was going, so I started to walk. I ran into an old man, did not know his name, but he took me in and gave me food. He let me stay with him for a few days to rest and then I was on my way again. I didn't know where I was going. But I just wanted to get as far as I could from the village. It seemed like days that I was in the woods. I came upon a trail where I meet a young woman how helped me find my way. She told me if I followed the trail I would find a tavern a few days walk. So I set out for it. Not sure what I was going to do when I got there. But I followed the path. I came into the gardens outside." She pointed to the windows. Eric looked out the window, seeing the gardens he has seen hundreds of times.

She let out a long sigh and looks back from the window to Eric then looked away.

"I guess I know the rest." Eric said, and he did, it was then, that she came into the tavern and they talked. He sighs heavily, still taking all of what she just told him in. He looked at her and said.

"I am not sure what to say. But this, that I found you and that is all that matters to me right now yhat I finally found you." The bar started to fill up with people..

They looks at each and they both give a small smile, knowing they have each once again
