Leyawiin was as business as usual, but there were many ships going in and out of the place.

Somewhere within the Nibenay Basin...

She finally began to wake up. Everything around her was really woozy. She noticed that she wasn't wearing her cloak anymore, leaving her armor to be seen. When she saw the one whom she was supposed to kill sleeping, she thought that this was her opportunity to kill him and finally end the mission she was given and please her masters.

She tried to get back up silently. Thanks to her unique fitting armor, it was relatively easy for her to move around without making a noise. She looked around for something she could use to slit or stab the man's throat. Luckily, she hid a dagger in her boot. She pulled it out and began to slowly make her way towards him with effort, but also remaining silent.

It was painful to even slowly crawl towards her target. She was still really tired due to the poison she was inflicted with. Even so, she still decided to take her chances and finally kill the man whom she was supposed to kill. It was a shot for glory. All or nothing.

When she finally got close enough, she prepared to finally stab her dagger through his throat... She was so close now...

Suddenly, the man shot up and quickly disarmed the woman with near impunity before pinning her down. She screamed in pain when she was subdued so easily by her target. The man ensured to throw away the dagger into the darkness.

"What do you think you're doing?" Fen asked the woman with a monotone voice. He clearly wasn't pleased on how she tried to kill him.

Eventually, the Scion decided to let go of the woman and set her down on the bed he once layed down in.

"Try that again, and I'll have to break your limbs like toothpicks..  Understood?" He told her. The woman reluctantly nodded under great amounts of pain and distress. She hoped that he would kill her and at least give her a clean death.

Fen sighed and decided to carry the woman back to her own bed roll. The former knew that the latter hasn't fully recovered yet, and she needed to be tended to.

As the woman wheezed in pain, Fen got out what looked like a potion and began to administer it on her wound. The former gritted her teeth in pain, but the potion slowly began to help her heal faster.

"W... wh-wh-what... wh-why..?" The woman asked. She didn't understand why would her own target show her mercy, even though she tried to kill her.

"...I can tell that you were a slave to some savages. Well, not anymore anyways." Fen replied.

"So... what's your name?"

"H-Huh..?"

"Your name. You were given a name the moment you were born, right?"

"...Milie..."

"Alright then, Milie. Get some rest. There will be plenty of time to talk later." He finished as he decided to get back to his bedroll and start reading a book.

She didn't understand why this man would help her, even if he was aware of the fact that she tried to kill him. Was this a ploy to gain her trust and kill her afterwards as soon as she outlived her usefulness? Or was it misplaced trust? Did he want to use her as a slave instead?

She didn't know. She was too tired and woozy to think of anything clearly...

She eventually fell asleep once more...
