The Temple

The small figure stood in the shadows of the sandstone dwelling before the tower that had been her home for so long, but now, no longer felt as such. She had been gone from here for a few weeks, ever since her encounter with Andrew and his warning to avoid it. She didnt recognize the sentry standing guard at the door. There hadn't been any when she had left.

Cursing silently, she knew she'd not be able to enter the tower without being seen. So she sat huddled next to the forge within the shadowed balcony of the house, watching the comings and goings. Sooner or later she would see Andrew and that would be her opportunity to talk to him. She didnt think he'd been entirely truthful with her. Not with seeing the changes in their home.

The hours passed. A storm had blown in covering the tiny figure in snow and yet she remained where she was, despite her chill. Teeth chattering she cursed softly "Damn you Andrew...where are you."
