Vellen Elorind

Her lithe body crouched down, tight like a loaded trap ready to spring at any second. Alexi began to count off, but the sound of hooves pounding pavement interrupted her. A wagon blocked their escape route, a much nicer one Vellen noted, as common folk quickly moved out of the way. The elf tensed even more, picking up on the unease her companion felt.

'Aeliana Ventra?' The name didn't ring any bells, though if she thought long enough she could probably recount hearing it once. The woman that stepped forth exuded authority and looked like she had the power to back it up. Vellen watched Alexi cover her nose, blocking some sent that she herself couldn't detect; her ears were much more sensitive than her nose when it came to detecting anomalies.

As soon as the imposing woman spoke Vellen knew for sure, there was no uncertainty that this affluent woman was a threat. Her voice held a certain malice about it and the way Aeliana interacted with the slavers sent a shiver up her spine, like Vyntra wouldn't have an issue with cutting anyone down without a second thought. The scraping of something hidden and heavy grated against her sensitive hearing, she couldn't but wonder what she was hiding. It couldn't be anything pleasant.

It was inevitable that they would open the wagon up and discover it barren but it still caused Vell to shift her weight nervously, fear of being caught by the black haired women danced in her mind. The slavers rushed to follow Vyntra's orders and of course found their cargo missing.

The young woman hadn't any time to dwell much longer on what faced her if she were to be captured, which had seemed inevitable. She felt Alexius' strong hand wrap around her own as she was pulled up and out from under the salver's wagon. She jerked slightly when the violet haired human tipped Vyntra's carriage with repose. It was mere seconds when the two entered the alley, running as fast as their feet could manage.

Over the sound of her heart pumping ferociously in her ears she managed to pick up the sound of shouts demanding their capture. They scarcely had a few seconds before they were being pursued by both the slavers and soldiers alike.

The blinding sunshine reflecting off colorful overhangs filled with a mass of people met the two fugitives as the exited the alley and into the larger market. It didn't offer any relief to the elf as they didn't exactly blend in among the traders and commoners. Vell continued running, slipping past people milling about and pushing them aside when they wouldn't part.

”There! Don't lose sight of them!” Vellen could hear the men as if they were right on top of her and chanced a glance over her shoulder. The sight of them pouring out of the alley like a wave made her run even faster, her grip ironclad around Alexius' hand; if they got separated she feared they would never see each other again.

Vell careened around the nearest corner, her shoddy boots almost slipping out from beneath her as she scrabbled for purchase. ”There!” The elf practically screamed, her ragged breathing wouldn't allow for more. But nothing more needed to be said; in the distance a golden peak sat atop a blindingly white marble tower with ornate carvings too far to discern. It was Adestania's dungeon.

Her eyes wondered at first as to what Vellen was exactly pointing to, but then it became obvious as the sight of the bedizen high-rise standing at the end of the crowded marketplace. For some unknown reason, it left her in amazement to set her eyes on it. Maybe it was because how exotic it looked from the way it stood out from the less colorful part of Adestania's low-class district. Perhaps it was a better sight than the view behind her of what looked to be over dozens of slavers and soldiers persuing after the duo. Either way, her mind didn't change on going in as it was the only possible source of answers as far as she knew.

Disbanding from her party with Vellen was something that was out of the question as well. If Alexius did turn during the two's sprint it was to see that the elf was still behind, but the feeling of the woman's smaller hands around her's gave reassurance that she was still present. At the sound of Vel's exhausted breath, it was clear to her that she was merely dragging on to her since they were so different in height. With a sudden stop, she picked up the exhausted woman in her arms before picking up her sprint through the kiosk and stands in the market place. "This makes it easier on both of us, yes?" She suggested before hurdling through a stand. The way she kept a constant stride while avoiding those around her was like a gazelle escaping a hunter. The longer she kept pace, the faster the howling noise of infantry and marketeers disappeared. As she lunged through the crowd, she managed to rush past an armory's display area and pulling off several pieces of equipment. As she shielded Vellen from damage, she noticed a breast plate pinching between a part of her cloth piece as well as a chain-mail dangling off her shoulder. She picked off the the pieces and placed them in the elf's arms. "Hold onto these for me please." she requested as they grew closer and closer to the temple.

Overhead, Zyntra was trailing behind the two women from the rooftops while watching her prey weave through the marketplace. Once again she was fascinated by tenacity that this piece of trash was displaying. She could help but smirk in interest at what this woman could bring to the royal court and what that would do for her status within the empire. "Yoo-hoo, puppy-dog and street-rat!" Zyntra called to the two as she bounded between building roofs, "Where do you two think you're going? You have induced panic within my city as well as just stolen from a vendor. I can't let you two just get away with that!"She could only wonder where these two were heading. Most slaves would try to escape the city, but these two were heading towards the heart of the city. "The only thing there is. . ." Her eyes looked up to see the dungeon, Vindinia within a block or two away. "You two can't be serious! Vindinia isn't a place nobody can just go into. Not a single soul has come out there alive yet! What makes you, a pair of slaves, think that you can conquer a dungeon!? You'll be slaughtered in there." She laughed at the two in hopes of discouraging them.

Still Alexius continued driving forward for their destination. "That doesn't change my mind. How about your's? " the amnesiac asked her comrade as they were within inches of the dungeon entrance. Standing ahead of them was a large portal that illuminated in a purple hue, blocking whatever might be hiding behind the entryway of the dungeon. It was both mysterious and ominous that filled the atmosphere around it, but still Alexius was stilled with curiosity rather than fear. Once she climbed up Vindinia's stairways, she placed Vellen back down once the two were within a few steps of the portal.

Aeliana leaped down right behind them cornering them from backing out at this suicidal attempt. "Now what will you do?" she asked the pair with a confident smirk, "You go inside and there's a chance you two will never come back out. You stay here and you might ease whatever punishment might be in store for the crimes you have committed. Make this an easy decision for the three of us now." She attempted to persuade the duo with a coaxing voice and a gesture of the hand.

Alexius stood firm on her stance, "If that means I'm sent back into the cage, I refuse!" She stated before looking down at her accomplice. "Do you plan on staying here Vellen?"
