Taras sat on a rock to the side of Naiyu. The flame warmed his body but he didn't really feel the benefit of the warmth as his body seemed to cope well with the cold.
"Nothing to tell, I am what you see, nothing more. I hold no secret, for I do not have any. I only remember a week ago."
Taras moved his body a bit to face away from her he was not good at getting close to others but he didn't dislike Naiyu, she seemed very caring so he tried to talk.
"I am looking for some answers in a way. Yes I am strong and have skills so i must have trained at some point, so i must have a past. So maybe, one day i find it, but if i don't then i don't really mine."
Taras was fully aware that he spoke very vaguely but that was a good definition of his past vague. The walls were lit with the flames and the crystals sparkled, but the end and start of the cave couldn't be seen. For a moment Taras thought he saw a light move but he shrugged it off thinking it was the crystals and light playing tricks on him.

Naiyu looked at Taras with a concerned look, "A week ago? You look older than a week. I guess I'll tell you some stuff, I have a huge linage." She said, brushing her hair back gently. "In a veira tribe, it is mostly females, once in while, there is a male born. Only the prettiest veira gets to have the male in marriage. My mom was one of the prettiest I have seen! They are to have an average of 20 kids, and none to share in the wealth of thier parents beauty. My momther only had one, thats me, she couldn't have anymore, and I am as beautiful as her! When I was 5, I'm 16 now, my parents were brutaly killed by two asassins. I have no clue why, and all I remember is a flash of my parents, protecting me, and dying under two blades. I stayed in the burned village until I was old enough to leave, thats 13, and lived for a short time in a forest until I ventured around and ended up here. Why does the world have to be so cruel?" She said, crying a bit and taking off her gloves.

"Whoever said life would be easy? If there was no evil you would never know if you where good or evil"
Taras looked at the darkness of the cave and sighed.
"Oh what am I saying I don't know what it is you’re planning at all, you could just want to move on or take revenge. Ether way you have as much right to do it as much as the person that killed your family have the right to take there lives. That in the end is life."
The mood went silent and Taras scratched into the floor with his nails and didn't really know what Naiyu would say, if anything.

Naiyu stared blankly at him for awhile before saying anything, "I suppose you'd have a point, whatever you just said, I mean, It was hard to understand." She mumbled as she figeted around her neck a glass stone on a chain that got tangled. "I wish I had warmer clothes than the dress I was assigned," She said, sighing,"We only wear small amounts of clothing, its hot where we live!" She said, still struggling with the necklace. "By the way, its because of 2 things I'm searching around for. Love and Revenge."

“love and revenge, how conflicting.”
Taras wasn’t really talking to Naiyu but more to himself, he did this a lot being a loner. He looked at her a bit oddly
“Sorry, I sometimes forget I am talking with someone. I get that from being unsociable. What I meant to say before was this. Just keep going, all your past has made you the strong brave woman you are now, don’t forget that it will all work out, like some one told me. Scars that run deep sometimes are not meant to be healed.”
He stopped. Who had told him that, was that from a dream or something, he didn’t remember anyone ever saying that to him. Taras walked into the shadow and lifted up his eye patch. His eye was not there, did he ever have an eye there. All it was now was a flat grove in his face above his cheek. No scar.
“what am I even doing living.”
He said to himself looking into the dark.

Naiyu looked at him, concerned again, and got up to go ask if Taras was okay, slightly slipping on every step, she was nervous. "Taras are you okay?" She said in a motherly voice as she turned Taras around slowly. "Don't say things like that. I don't think you're cold." She said as she sat Taras back down. "Don't call me woman, it annoys the hell out of me." Naiyu said in a cold tone, almost like Taras'.

taras sat and just thought to himself as the flames lit the walls of the cave. it was strange such a dark place filed with mystery but it didn’t seem so bad as long as there was light in it. he sat there and listened to Naiyu.
"Ok, i will just call you Naiyu then"
he said looking at the shadow in the cave. then he saw it again, a light in the darkness. taras kicked dirt onto the flame and put it out. the cave went dark for a few moments. then it was suddenly easy to see the light at the back of the cave, pyro flies started to move about the room, small balls of colour and light. then a figure started to move from the shadow. is this one of the people Naiyu was looking for or a foe?

"What in the stars in the sky?" Naiyu said, trying not to curse anything too loud. She got on her gloves and got her majic ready for what ever it was.
An old geezer walked up to them and Naiyu blasted him on accedent with lighning. Naiyu rushed up to him and helped him up, "So sorry!!!!!" She cried.

Taras stopped and walked up to the man and didn't say a word there was something strange about him, not evil just something odd.
"Is he one of the people you where looking for?"
The old man got up and patted his back as dust fell off. Taras stood back this was Naiyu business he would step aside as they talked.

Naiyu held the guy up, "Are you by any chance and elder here?" She asked, taking him torward the ashy embers that still were glowing. She lit the fire again and helped the man down to the ground. "I am the last elder in this cave, and very sickly, this is the first walk I've had in months." The man stammered. Naiyu looked at him in alarm, but sort of in an odd way, looked kinda glad. "Can you tell me, where can I find a Genome? I have some payback. A way out and a majic shop?" She asked, lighting the fire. "Genome people are rare, they are vessels to a breed of people. They are heartless and sneeky, I heard one destroyed a whole town of Veiras. That was your home, I presume. The way out is the other part of that fork, but alas, is much darker down there, and very slippery. That last majic shop I saw out side was in the village at the foot of here, maybe you should try there." The man said weakly. Naiyu stood up and bowed, "Thank you very much." She cheered.

Taras walked over and said simply
"What now?"
He put his hands in his pockets and looked down the cave thinking was it right for him to go with her, he was getting deep into her story, but it must be fate. He was apart of that story now
"Up to you"

"We have to go now, I wonder if he wants to come?" Naiyu mumbled to Taras. She walked up to the man and asked him if he wanted to go, he shook his head and limped off. "Oh...We don't have to walk, I remember I have something that can get us outta here in a 'jiff." She said, pulling a glass flute from her breasts.(yes, I know, she has two pockets...so, thats why.) She played a beautiful melody and and the end breathed in as she spoke a spell. She grabbed Taras close to her, and they disappeared into the dark, they arrived at the foot of the mountain by the town. "So, you stayin' or goin'?" Naiyu asked, tucking the flute in its rightful place.
(I am going to Zilbul bar town, if you want.)

(We are on a different continent to go to tibul, but Dorin is close)
taras looked back at the shadow behind them as they seemed to move through the rock itself. Then he looked at Naiyu.
"Did you learn what you needed to know from that old one?"
he said and took a few steps out into the snow. that was a interesting move to get them out through a shadow, taras wondered about the spell but didn't dwell on it to long. As he stepped off a rock his feet sunk into the soft snow and it came up to his knees, flakes of ice fell from the sky lightly.
over the far fields of white, light could be seen from the town close to the sea, it was a walk but not to far from them. The bright light moved back and forth like search lights but colourful and made dots of colour making the town shine. taras looked back at Naiyu to see what she would say and if she wanted to go to Dorin.
