Climbing into the open window was too easy for her. Â The hyur was asleep in the room, all alone. Â It would be easy for her to just grab Asdrellia Pemberton and leave, but what was the fun in all that?
No. Â The game is what was important.
Something glimmered in the fading light, and she picked it up. Â The fool girl left her linkpearl on the table near her. Â Picking it up, Ophi placed it in her ear and touched it.
"Which one of you is Kayle Delwyn?"
She smiled, hearing the response. Â The game had begun over the pearl as her thin fingers combed through Asdrellia's hair.
Garston would have what he wanted soon enough. Â But ... she wanted to play for a bit first ...
How could something go so terribly wrong?!
As she hid in a desolate shed out in Thanalan, her mind swirled over the last hour.
He arrived alone. Â Just where she told him too. Â She was not afraid, her people stationed in strategic areas. Â She laid out the terms simply, but he refused.
She used a tactic that worked on many. Â He still refused.
Then he advanced on her ... his eyes dead. Â They still made her body shiver when remembering them.
He did not care about the arrows pointed at him, nor did he even seem to notice when she struck her best blow against his chest. Â He just stood there.
And then they appeared out of the blue. Â He had lied to her, something she would have to grudgingly give him credit for. Â A group, perhaps seven or eight, weapons and magic at the ready.
She used the signal. Â She was no fool. Â She heard the arrows fly and heard them make purchase against armor or flesh. Â It did not matter.
But the worst part ...
She ran. Â She ran into the desert of Thanalan, and now she cowered in a building like a weak child.
"This is not over yet, hyur. Â There is still one more I can sink my claws into. Â And he is all by himself in Ul'Dah"
