Chapter 3

The huntress called out for help. The spirelings, four of them, have came to
destroy the Refuge. Aryze, the young warden, heed the call for aid, and
rushed to the rescue of the refuge. A battle raged between her and the
fourshe slowly weakening them with her lemur and orangutan forms. She fell
the necromancer, rather quicklybut the other three, she had a hard time
battling, but still, she was slowly winning.

During this battle, the Spirelings called for aid, for they began to need
another to fight the warden. A large eagle came from the sky, a
shapeshifter, aiding the spire.She fought the eagle, just as she fought the
Spirelings, but they ended up much too much for her. She felljust as the
necromancer did, and the fetish was lost.

Aryze, wandered around a bit, contemplating on her lost, when the
shapeshifter, in the form of the Eagle, began to speak to her. She demanded
him to tell him why, he had harm the Huntress, but he was adamant about not
telling her. This shapeshifter, Harkan, offered his aid, but naturally aid
from such a treacherous being was unwanted, or was it?

Harkan, prodded Aryze for her weakness, for he wanted something of hers: her
essence, life force, if you will. He asked her to drown for him willingly.
Aryze, at first was horrified at the thought. Why would anyone willing want
to commit suicide in such a way? But, Harkan, using her weakness, her want
to protect others slowly destroyed her will.


He promised to protect the refuge, and to never fight against it ever again,
that he would fight the Spirelings, just as Aryze did. He promised that
Aryze, would have an ally, someone to come to if she wanted help with
somethinganything. Aryze, was quite interested in the offer to protect the
younger, less able ones of the refuge. That moment, she fell, and agreed to
do the unthinkable.

She sat, underwater with the dark being, waiting for the moment to comethe
moment to breathe out as she drowned. As she gasped for air, Harkan, urged
her to relax, to not worry, it will all be over soon, and he will be her
ally. Darkness overtook herand she breathed out as she drowned. Of course,
as usual, her body was reformedbut she felt different.How? She did not
know, other than something truly was wrong. She had not realized thatthat
fiend had taken her life force. She had to do something about it.
