By the Lake (Private) }{ Ariana and Silimaure

[silimaure]

Alvena sighed. She watched as the sun rose above the hilltops, allowing light to once again flood back into the valley. She had journeyed to what was perhaps her favorite spot in the whole world - Lonea Lake. It often reminded her of home, as Black Shore, (the place that she had previously lived) had one of the most beautiful waters in the whole world. At least in her opinion.

She was glad to be away from Tamasha, as she found life there more than a little stressful. However, she knew that she had to be on her guard at all times, anyway. She was still a fugitive, and there were still people that were looking for her. But, that wasn't something that she liked to think about.

She had chosen a small village by the lake as a place where she would spend the night. It was perhaps as populated as Tamasha, but a much quainter place.

As she stood against a tall tree, admiring the lake, and thinking about her life with an air of forlorn, Alvena knew that she heard something. She heard the leaves rustling, and she was sure that someone was nearby.

Within an instant, she had drawn her dagger, and was trying to see if someone was actually hiding, or she was just being paranoid.
