It's Tianna!

"What the fuck?" Tianna begins "Why the hell are you here?" she questions, her blades still pointing at your laying down body. "Speak now you piece of shit!"

"Whoa whoa whoa!" your hands go up toward the blade "Calm down!" you try to plead with her "I told Luna I would follow and help out...I'm originally from Rathkin...I know the lands!" you begin

Her eyes stare a hole into yours, her blades still ready to slit your throat in a second. You see her shoulders raise up, her body taking a deep breath before they fall down, her blades suddenly sheath themselves "I don't trust you." she lets out "But if you really are Rathkin..." she pauses "Then you're going in to get our commanders back." her arm extends down toward you, reaching down to help you up.

You reach your hand up, gripping Tianna's. She helps you stand to your feet, the random warriors around you sheath their weapons as well, they all appear to much more calm now "Wait...so what happened?" you question

Tianna just looks at you, not saying a word "Fuck Errian & Rathkin." she mumbles out

"Tianna, stop being vague, tell me!"

Her eyebrow raises at you, questioning you.

"Tianna!" you shout "What's going on?!"

You see her eyes bunch up, her breathing stiffen, her muscles tense.

"When we first got here..." Tianna begins "Errian was already invading the lower region of Rathkin, buildings were burning, many peasants, slaves and some warriors were dying. We attacked in, surrounding their flank." Tianna runs her hand through the side of her head, brushing her hair behind her ear "After we pushed Errian back out of Rathkin, Luna & Eleanor went into Rathkin to consult with their leaders." her eyes look to the ground, her grip around her blade tightens "They never came back." her body starts to shake.

You can sense the anger in her body. The rage building up. "What happened next?"

"Errian attacked again, flanking the entire region. They surrounded many of our Sunriders, killing a lot. We fought back..." she looks at the ground "But Rathkin didn't help, they stayed back, defending their inner city with their entire army."

"They ditched you?" shock exits your voice "They left you for dead?!"

"They did..." Tianna's voice stutters "We fought Errian...and as we fought Errian, Rathkin back stabbed us. Fucking traitors..." her body visibly angry "Rathkin caught us off guard, slaughtering so many of our brothers and sisters..." she throws her blade into the ground, causing it to ricochet off the dirt. "Those fucking traitors!" she screams out loud.

Your eyes turn to shock "What...???" you question

"That's fucking right." Tianna's voice rages "After we fought back Errian. Fought with Rathkin to push Errian out of their city. When we least expected it. Rathkin back stabbed our forces, killing so many of us." her hands go to her head, grabbing fistfuls of her hair "FUCKING RATHKIN!!!" she shouts

"And what of Luna??" you question "Eleanor?!"

"Ashe and a small group went into Rathkin to find them." Tianna pauses "They left all their horses, their tigers, they went in by foot, to try to find where Luna & Eleanor were..." she hesitates briefly "It's been 3 hours now..." a heavy gulp of saliva draws down her throat "I fear we lost them all..."

"What?!" you reply

"I swear to the all holy gods...the Syndicate will destroy the entire kingdom of Rathkin" her teeth glare "If Luna doesn't return shortly we will leave and head back to the Syndicate. I will spread the news of the treachery. I will become the new leader of the Sunriders. I will **** the Syndicate to bring everybody south to Rathkin. I will conquer the entire kingdom. I, Tianna Delgore, will fucking destroy every last Rathkin citizen!!!"

The power in her voice. The anger shouting through the winds. Tianna has a short fuse. You know that. If this didn't get solved soon, who knows what would happen. If Rathkin and the Syndicate go to war, what would happen to Errian? Would they sit back? Would they join one side over the other? Would they come in afterwards and just clean up the leftovers?

"I'll go in." you mumble to Tianna

"Huh?" she replies

"Give me a day." you urge her "One day. I will find out what happened to Luna, Eleanor & Ashe."

Tianna just looks at you, not saying a word.

"If I'm not back by sun fall tomorrow, ride north to the Syndicate." you nod at her "I'm Rathkin. I know people here. Just...please give me some time."

"24 hours." Tianna states "If you're not back in 24 hours we're leaving."

Your eyes lock with Tianna, you both nod at each other.

As you turn your body towards Rathkin, looking at the outer section of the city, the section that is on fire. The screams echoing through out the winds. The fire, the smoke, the blood, the bodies...all littering the lands ahead of you. "Back to Rathkin..." you mumble to yourself...
