"I see." She looked to them unsure, but wanted to know more about the Silver one. "I think she likes him, the one named Locke I mean. She didn't talk much about it. But I've snuck into her room a few times, course I'm sure she caught me. She used to whisper in her sleep, but shortly after I'd be there she would stop.

Andrea looked to him then away feeling the herbs. She searched her mind trying to think of anything. Then felt odd not finding anything. "I don't know. I haven't thought about it in a long time." She looked back to him curiously, then away feeling badly. "Why ask that question?" She would move away when he was done and look to him. She glanced at the window seeing the sky dark and knew there wasn't much more time. She sighed a moment inwardly. "Maybe we should continue this in the morning. It's getting late, and if I'm going to be any use, I'll need some rest."

Aya turned hearing Locke and nodded. She understood the Silver one didn't wish her to see her in bad shape. "All right." She looked to him standing and then would follow along to another room. Once there she would try helping him look for another bed. She bit her lip after a moment wondering if she should start talking with him. "So, Locke was it?" She turned to him once things were settled. "How do you feel about the Silver one? Honestly, I know she cares about you. She'll probably never say anything though. But she trusted me to you for the night, so it says a lot about how she feels."

Andrea was thankful when he left then went to her sword. She closed her eyes sitting on her bed and waited. She brought her magic up around the room of Aya and Locke, then again for the others knowing if the enemy came to open their doors, it would lead them elsewhere, keeping her friends safe.

It wouldn't be long. Her eyes had just started to close when she heard them burst through her door. She fought off as many as she could, though in her condition it was useless. And as soon as they came, they were gone.

Aya woke hearing Locke. She followed close seeing the soldiers and the blood. "Silver one, what have you done?" Her voice a whisper as she asked her question but already knew the answer. "She let them take her. It's the only explanation. Why else would she have me stay with Locke and not her." She looked to the bodies of fallen soldiers not sure what she could do. She looked to Locke worried a moment.

Andrea woke as men dragged her into a dungeon. She laughed at the situation as they propped her to a stone slab and tied her down. As they left she looked about knowing well where she was. Then spotted her target. "Those idiots. You think their generals would know to keep us apart Azreal.

He watched them bring a familiar face before his cell. He felt his heart race as she spoke and smiled. As the soldiers left he looked to her. "Silver one. They told me you were alive, but our reports stated you were dead. Where did you go? But now that you are here we can be rid of this place." He looked to his prize possession with a smile. He wondered though about why she didn't have her armor. "You look terrible. I thought I had said to always be presentable?

She glared at him remembering how much she had hated him then shook her head laughing. "It was either that, or fail in protecting Aya. Which would you prefer?" She sensed something familiar near her and smiled lightly. "It doesn't matter. We won't be here long."

Drake looked about glad for his idea since she had come back and started acting strange. "She's in the other world now. Don't worry, it won't take us months to find her. Since I brought her back I've been worried about her mentally. I have a shade at her side at all times. He'll report to me, though I'm sure she knows it's been following her about. Though from how weak my link is, we may need her to open a portal to get us there faster. Downside, magic is considerably handicapped." He looked to the others thinking about how she had thought this plan was a good idea.

Drake half listened to the conversation before he noticed the girl holding a small doll, though trying not to make it noticeable. "Aya, please stay on this side, I can track the shade that's with Andrea well enough despite how much weaker I'll be. She's going to need us as points of origin if she can use her own magic." He went to Aya a moment whispering, "Don't worry princess, Locke always brings her back. He cares to much for her not to despite how he acts. Just don't give those two too much grief all right?" He smiled seeing her nod then turned to the others. "Once it's safe we'll have Andrea open a portal closer to hear to get Aya back, if not, We'll come back for you guys." He would wait though looking about and searching his senses.

Aya looked to them happy the Silver one had friends like this. She felt sad though knowing she had been hurt before, and now a prisoner. "I know why she did it. She knows I can't go back without my father being in the castle to play king. I'm an heir to the throne, but not able to defend myself like they can yet. The Silver one made a lot of enemies as my father's general."

"Well, when she was taught to fight, she made a point to be very good. She was always working at it. She always seemed angry, though I knew it was never at me." She paused watching them all taking note of the other looking about as if things other then what was around. "Father is a good King. She even said so, just his personal life behind doors she called it, 'lacking?' Well father had many boarder enemies, as such, being his prize general, they hated her just as much, especially when she laid out plans that led to our kingdom's victory. So naturally, the Netherien king more then likely would like to see her gone."

He kept a sense on his shade giving it a command and knew what it should say to help them find their friend once more. He half listened to the girl trying to keep his connection hoping Sam would hurry.

"What is that?" He watched as the shadows seemed to move and speak but couldn't make out what it was saying despite the Silver one nodding. When it was gone he commanded more then asked. "Silver One you will tell me what that was. How do I obtain one?"

She listened hearing the Shade just barely and tried to pool her magic. "It's a friend and no, not everything you've never seen before can be yours. Besides it's real and it's note. Now hush I need to concentrate." She closed her eyes trying to will her magic into a portal from the entrance of where her friends would be and to where she was. Until others came in. She opened her eyes trying to keep her energies as she was unchained and held before a bag went over her head. She could hear the king calling out but knew they were being taken together.

He listened watching the girl nod but could tell she was worried. He soon brought his attention back to Locke and shrugged. "Well, that world is darker, cloudy all the time from what I can tell. It smells like brimstone, which oddly enough is about the same as rotting eggs. The people are dark there, Kinda like Aya was, most have armor that is black in some fashion. And most are not pleasant. There are very few and rare ones that are. We'll have to be on our toes, but knowing Andrea, we won't be there long before she finds a way to shift us closer if not beside her. The Shade is reporting bits and pieces, Says she's raised what magic she can for a portal, but can't open one yet, not while they're moving her somewhere." He looked between them all then would wait for Jack to return and Sam to be finished finally. He got the sense waiting much longer wouldn't be good.

As they moved him and his prize soldier he knew they were being separated once more. Once the bag on his own head was removed he looked ahead at the clear dome just above the floor. He managed a better view seeing what looked like an arena at least four levels high, then soldiers bringing the Silver one into it below. He struggled though was held too tightly. He looked to the Netharien Kin who sat on his throne looking amused. "What are you planning with her? If it's her death, not like this, she's a warrior, she should have more respect."

"Oh but I do Azreal. Oh she will die, and it will be a warriors death. Just my and my own general have taken a bit of a bet to see how long she survives. The longer she lives, well, the more respect I will have for her. And being able to tolerate you and fight for your side, is a testament to how willed she is if anything." He stood from his thrown looking down as she was unbound and left only with a sword. "This will be very entertaining. First your prize possession, then you and your daughter, then your kingdom will be mine."

She took a breath as she was unbound and quickly removed the bag. She looked about still calling her magic at the sight of the arena. To one side the door she was sure she came from, a sword by her feet, and at the other side a very large door almost three floors high. She looked up at the walls beyond knowing she couldn't climb it. She took note of her king above the glass and knew this wouldn't be good. She sighed picking up the sword and calling her portal to be above the glass dome. If her friends were coming she didn't want them to come into a battle like this.

Drake nodded thanking the two and turned to Locke. "The shade says she's started calling. The portal will open a bit from the town. It says it's weak so we don't have much time. It won't explain why thought, just says trouble is starting. I hope you're ready for a fight when we land." He then headed off from the room and the inn towards the field knowing they had to reach it.

She looked ahead calling her portal still trying to open it for the others just in case. Though the shade was all the proof she needed that they would come for her. She heard the grinding of the door before her as it slowly opened, then felt her blood go cold as she heard the thundering roar from beyond it. She glared looking up at the king of Nethari with anger before turning her attention back to the creature that appeared. She gritted her teeth knowing she would have to fight the old fashioned way, without her portals, if she were to help the others reach her. The creature roared once more and she dodged knowing what needed to be done, but smiled feeling her portal open and hoped they wouldn't be too long.

She turned looking to Jack shrugging a bit and moving to the window watching the other two off. "Father puts on tourneys. Not much else though. Things are rather dull around the castle. Reading mostly."

------------------

Drake traveled on listening and mulling over Locke's words. "Not a clue once we get through that portal. My shades will be greatly limited which means Andrea's will be too. Not sure how you would react considering it's not really magic you use." He looked ahead as they entered the field and saw the portal. "Locke, there! Come on," He rushed after it hoping they would get there in time. As he would pass through it he fell a bit onto a stone floor. He didn't have much time to react seeing a man being held by dark soldiers and another calling orders of attack. He dodged the first few hist before taking note of another grignack below, as well as their friend. "s**t, Andrea needs to get out of there!"

She looked up seeing them through the portal and smiled a bit. She would call out though as the portal closed behind them and she was tossed to a far wall, claw marks down her back from where the creature had gotten her. She struggled a bit getting to her feet barely missing a few more lunges from the Grignack.
