Chapter 12

Captain Ellainaraya was battling the Imperials with the bard Squire Siphani. One of the imperials,
Ysforgul, was a fire giant swordsman, and a formidable one at that. Elly finally managed to get the upper
hand on Ysforgul and an Imperial Shaman and break the giant swordsmans Armageddon sword. The
two Imperials fled into Hamsah and Elly gave chase, trying to pincer Ysforgul at the healer before he
could heal up. Ysforgul fled and Elly tried again, and missed again, only this time Siphani sang a Vibrato
without paying attention to her surroundings.

A nomad healer was sitting against the wall of the temple and caught the brunt of the song and died
almost instantly. He was an innocent who lived in the light. Elly was mortified.

Elly vowed this would never happen to her again after the incident with Arlyssa and here she was back
in the very same position, only now she was Captain and had led the Squire into this mistake. While she
never drew any blood, as Captain she had a responsibility and should have prevented this. The lesson of
prudence was not so well heard, it seems.

Dark times followed, as Elly struggled with a myriad of emotions. She was very hurt and sad. She hurt for
the nomad and she hurt for Siphani and she knew how she felt. The whole situation was just awful. She
had to try to be strong and take lead as Captain, but was finding it hard to keep it together for the guilt
and sadness she bore.
