Aduthondiel
"Your face tells me otherwise." Adu didn't know what to say. She had moved on and forgot about Jack. She had Hama now and didn't want to go back to the terrible life she had before. Everything was better now. Adu didn't need to remember the painful memories of her loss. She knew that Hama would be returning with some good news. That is news of Hama's new position. She couldn't wait until he returned. Perhaps then she can move forward with her life like Crystal did. "Isaac, I know what I remember and there was never a forest. As far as feelings between Jack and I. Those died out the day he left. I haven't had any feelings for him since he decided that it was best that he quit General Dorian's riders and go out on his own. I'm sorry if that makes everything a little bitter but that is how I have to be."
Well its how it has to be. You made your choice and I have made mine. Hama and I will reunite Dorian's riders. You will only be another memory. A memory I am all too happy to get rid of. I will not go through the same heartache again. I will never be a victim to what you did to me. Dorian took advantage of my skill in combat and you took advantage of my heart. NEVER AGAIN!
Adu placed her right hand on the hilt of Nehema. Her sword was tucked safely under her elvish cloak. She thought she heard Count out in the stables. "Isaac if you will excuse me. I need to go see if Count had a nice night in the stables. We can talk a little later perhaps. That is when I am able to relax a bit." She picked up her mug of ale and began to go to the stables when she saw that Cree was headed there too. Avalon was the only crow she had ever seen that was so calm around people. Perhaps it was just Cree's calmness that Avalon liked.
Adu felt a hand touch her shoulder. It wasn't everyday she had someone touch her. She turned around to see that Isaac was there. Adu needed to be alone for a bit with her horse. She had to calm down about the whole Jack and Isaac thing. She didn't need it any more.
