"It is possible. But there are other possible scenarios. We must not assume anything at this point in time. But this doesn't fit the characteristics of our enemy."
"It doesn't? How so?"
"Our enemy is cautious and cunning, how could they kidnap the daughter of the only Crestmaster in Wakefield a year before their attack? That would have alerted the Crestmaster that something wasn't right."
"Now that I think about it that is true."
"If I were the enemy I would have disposed of her on the very day of the attack or some time after that before the news could break out."
"But what if they had something else in mind back then? What if the attack on Wakefield wasn't always their plan." Aldrich pondered.
"I just said it's a possibility not a certainty. But, to be honest... I just don't feel like that they would be that sloppy."
"How are they sloppy? They made her disappear without a trace. That seems fairly efficient."
