After the guards locked the door, Fox cleared his throat and decided to take a seat near the bonfire.

"...Elyna..?" The former called Fenrir my her real name.

"..."

"Elyna. I know you hate me after all these years, but will you please just hear me out? Just once?

You do realize that if you don't co-operate, you'll likely stay here for the rest of your days."

"..."

"...Elyna. I know that you're a good woman... You weren't like this before. Until... you know... The incident back in Riften... With one of the orphans..."

"..."

"Don't worry. I'm not here to blame you for just how brutal you killed that thief who tried to violate that girl.

You have to understand. There's a difference in the lines. There's a difference between serving the law and taking things too far.

Elyna... you're a very good woman. You used to be a heroine of the people... You made them cheer, laugh, cry, and so much more.

You were the talk of the town and the beacon of hope in the gloomy town. You used to lighten up the Bee and Barb all the time with your stories and music.

You're a woman with a lot of potential. But now... What happened..? What made you turn your back on all that?"

"..."

"...Elyna... Remember what I said about the story between the warrior of light and the cloud of darkness? The light knew how to control his emotions, yet also use them at the same time.

Even in the midst of chaos, he keeps his cool on the battlefield despite the taunts and temptations of the cloud of darkness.

In the end, the warrior's desire to bring justice made him the last survivor of the great battle between good and evil. Why? Because he kept his cool while the cloud of darkness was blinded by her rage and hatred.

The battle was really legendary, don't you think? The way the two swordsmen clashed blades with one another. Many kids loved that and continued to play games related to it."

"..."

"...There's also one thing I failed to mention: Despite the cloud of darkness layed in defeat, the warrior offered his hand to her. Why? Because killing the woman will make the warrior no different from her.

Also, when the warrior offered his hand, he said "It's never too late to turn back to the light. Wheter you think you can or you think you can't, you are right."

These words made the woman realize that if she sets her mind to it, she can make the impossible possible.

The woman took his hand, and the warrior decided to help her redeem herself for her actions.

It wasn't easy. Many of the ones she caused suffering to resented and hated her. But the warrior stood in her defense, and made the people see reason.

And slowly, over the many months and years, and with the warrior's guidance, the woman began to slowly redeem herself. The people began to trust her, and slowly forgave her for what she has done.

"To murder is human. To forgive is divine." The warrior said. You know the rest."

"..."

Fox sighed. "Elyna. What I'm saying to you is that I'm offering you the chance to redemption." He said to her.

"So please... Let's drop the hatchets and put all of this behind us... because I am tired of it all."

"..."

Fenrir remembered the story that Fox told her before. Though the latter just shortly summarized the story, she remembered all of it.

She began to feel bad for what she has done... Fox was right. She gave in to her own anger and hatred against him. Her path to power landed her into her current predicament.

"I... I..." The young Breton's eyes started to water as she tried to resist the urge to break down in front of her master.

Fox saw her breaking down and decided to get close to her. The former gets on his kness and embraced the latter tightly as she broke down.

"It's alright... Just let it all out..." The former said. The latter slowly slipped her hands behind her master's back to embrace him tightly in return.

After 11 minutes, the latter burned herself out. She was now tired because of it. Fox decided to take out his pouch of water and let Elyna drink it.

"...I'm willing to help you, Elyna, but you also have to help me. You know that you need me as much as I need you.

You can start by telling me who you once worked for... The man who was once your leader. Who is he or she? What's the leader's name?"

".........Naerion."

"..!"

Fox froze on the spot for a while. He then remembered that name in a wanted poster and that certain story in Valenwood.

Naerin Nelthar. The man who planned a takeover in Valenwood years ago until he was snuffed out. Fox knew that this was vital information and needed to be delivered to his superiors immediately.

Fox then noticed that his apprentice had an high fever on her. She also showed signs of dehydration and sleep-deprivation.

"Gods-dammit..." He muttered as he quickly decided to carry his former apprentice and head for the doors.

"Guards. This prisoner needs to get to a healer quick. She carries vital information, and we may lose her if nothing is done for her." He said.

"She's been battered for too long, and is suffering a high fever." He noted, indicating that he has a form of medical knowledge.
