Still Confused

She's right, I didn't know, but then... I don't know anything, she thought sadly, still hugging Ember. "Yes, I don't know, but I made you sad by saying that." Nitar said quietly.

"Someone's coming." Nesthora said in a panicky like tone.

Nitar stood up after Nesthora had said something, and she was right, there was someone coming. She looked around seeing no one, then looked at the trail they had followed, and a tall figure was standing there, making no movements, just standing there, looking at them through orange eyes. Nitar held her sketch book close, the person who stood there in the shadows, slightly reminded her of the person in her sketch book.

Nesthora stayed where she was, the globe she was, just hovering there.

The figure seemed to smile, when Ember spoke. And afterward he stepped out of the shadows, looking a lot younger then he did when he was in the shadows. Though he was tall, with almost orange hair, and glowing orange eyes, though there seemed to be a feint purple glowing in them also.

Nitar continued to watch the boy, and again she was reminded of the picture in the sketch book. Was it the same boy? Or just one who looked like him?

"Of course you can help me. By telling me why you are heading to Eldon's cottage." The boy said.

Nitar looked the boy over, and noticed he was wearing leather armor, and he had swords at his side. She shifted nervously, her eyes locked onto the weapons.

"Yes, we are just taking a stroll... I see nothing wrong with that." Nitar said looking over at Ember a moment before staring at the boy again.

Smiling again, he continued to watch them with an amused look on his face. "I don't very much like liars... but, if you claim you don't know Eldon, I suggest you turn around and leave, or go off in another direction, Eldon does not like trespassers." He said, still slightly amused about something. He looked at Nitar, for a long moment, then his gaze went to the torch they had, and he smiled slightly.

"Its not safe out here, the might find you, and they will take you back, Nitar... both of you should leave, they will take both of you, and they will do more experiments..."

Nitar stood still, fear clenched at her. Experiments. Have someone done experiments on her before?

Nervously, Nitar listened to the boy, and shivered slightly when he mentioned experiments. She stepped back, a bit frightened. They did experiments on her? But what type of experiments? And what did they have in mind?

"What do you know of the experiments done on me? What did they do? Do you know?" She sputtered out, wanting to know, and she almost looked pleadingly at the boy.

"I'm sure he will, once you find your way there... I don't know if I feel like helping you... maybe I'll just watch and follow." He said, a evilish but almost playful smile went across his face. He turned to look at Nitar when she spoke.

"I know more then I want to know... but I am not one to tell you." He said calmly, then hung hiss head for a moment, as if he were guilty about something, then he looked up again. "Only Eldon may tell you what you wish to know... but I know he will not tell anyone willingly."
