Yurah sat at the dining table, parallel to Nikolai and a mage named Alixander which she soon learned was the Lord's paramour, "So shall we begin?" the mage spoke, sternly and strictly like that of a teacher or guard to which Yurah replied with a shy nod as she looked at the two, "Well, from what the Lord has told me, you escaped from a fortress from another dimension with the help of another man heading to Cerine, not recollection of who you are, while during your imprisonment you encountered a man named Malak, correct?" The mage said this calmly but coldly, like a cold winter breeze as Yurah managed a shy nod as she was too scared to speak. Alixander let out an annoyed sigh as he spoke again, his tone more annoyed, "Well, Yurah, right? It doesn't matter. You were in a place we called the Vhell or locals here will call it the Hellscape, It was another dimension that existed as long as humans have, those knights are called Shadows, dark beings that were once human, elf, werebeasts or otherwise. They usually have red eyes like that of yourself.", After he finished those words it took Yurah a bit to process what just had been said to her when Nikolai then cleared his throat, "Look, I know this'll be a bit hard to process but I would also like to say, due to your amnesia and other issues, we'd like you to stay here for a bit, If that's alright?" His voice was a bit shaky as he gave her a friendly smile but it didn't reach his eyes, she took a bit to respond, "Yes, I'd...like to stay here!", she gave them both a bright smile which Alixander couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth twitch.

Malak growled as he oversaw the repairs of the fortress, the Blue Jay took the Bride, his Lord would not be happy for this failure. He headed to quickly gather a scouting party to head to the Port Dia portal and get her back.
"I will take back what is mine."
