When Niamh had finished her tea and bread she got up and went outside to join her sister.

She found Mylasia in the stable softly singing to Roman, it was one of the songs their mother had sung for them, and she let Mylasia finish before she made her presence aware.

"Sister may I go for a walk?"

"Niamh I can not allow you, if you were taken it would be my fault!"

"I will take my bow, no one can hurt me then.."

"You hope. Ok be quick no more than an hour, I will be waiting for you inside. Be careful"

Niamh smiled and quickly walked down to the Inn collected her bow and quiver from the room and made her way down the path that they had come up the following night. She sang to her self as she walked the same song that Mylasia sang to Roman. And then she stopped that song and sang a diifferent one of a flower. Her father had told her this one and he sang it to her because she was as beautiful as it. The flower was Elenor, it grew in the land that her grandparents came from, although she did not know where that was.

The warm rays of sun beat down on her and she breathed in a heavy sigh, this place is beautiful, it is a shame there are not many left like it at least there is no evil here, that or you can't not see it. And it is hard to hide evil and darkness. No this place had done something to Niamh and in the short time she was here the nightmares had stooped. For last night she dreamt soundly for the first time, and she did not dream of her mothers savage slaughter and the time when they had to leave home. She sat down on the gras and contiued singing softly songs her father had taught her, about love, war and sacrifice.
