“Look until we’re out of here can the commanding crap and go. I’ll have the dragon follow you and I’ll be in the rear. Your hurt, he’s hurt and having to carry someone. Take the first left and the next right. You’ll come out at a water fall.” She hissed.
Shoving the
vampire into the hole by her tender back and turned to the dragon. “Go. Your hurt and in no shape to fight. Wait for me at the tunnels end and if it’s not me coming out pull the red cord of rope directly to the right of the exit. It’ll collapse the tunnel and buy you more time. Now go!” She would demand.
Hopefully the dragon seeing sense in the most capable as well as expendable staying behind she would kick open a chest next to her and draw a large claymore almost a duplicate of her last but it’s blade was untarnished from lack of exposure.
Kyla has made a back up for her just in case.
In that small moment she was grateful to her sister.
She was thrown from her thoughts as she turned and heard the hatch open.
The young voice call to her.
A maester? From the college? Which one? Ferelith had met...well been examined by more like by two. Either way the grip on her blade tightened. The college involving itself with her was something she wanted to desperately avoid.
“Nothing much to talk about.” She said with a slight smirk taking in the girl and seeming to be mentally weighing her chances and sizing her up.
“Thought maesters were older? Your either a prodigy or a liar...” She sank into a ready stance. Not aggressive and more defensive. It seemed she wanted this girl to speak her piece and either fight or leave.
The possibility of her being a maester was too curious and enticing, but also made her all the more tense. People didn’t fight maesters of the college for the same reason no one fought
dreadlords. The truth was plenty of people fought them. But no one knew they existed. Because none walked away.
Her tattoo pulsed a slight black as her yellow eyes glowed in the darkness of the cave.
A tattoo on her left fore arm would glow slightly to Kara and Karas vision alone as opposed to the group at large and even Ferelith herself not knowing of its existence.
A filing number.
More importantly a filing number for a system used by the college to keep track of things owned by it. Items of power and interest in possession of the college were usually marked in this way.
Unseen by thieves and the like any stolen item was always easy to identify to a person that could easily then re secure it into college custody.
But that system was for things...not people and this mark on the short blonde girl was different in both its lay out and color.
While most glowed faintly blue to be plainly seen..This marking glowed a deep blue.
“Well? Out with it you little creep.” Ferelith spat. Talking down to her though she doubted from her appearance that she was much older than Ferelith herself.
