Nadine felt both nervous and excited. Every time she was asked to go out on a scouting mission for the Knights of Purity was exciting, but this? This was a dream come true! Not only was she on a scouting mission, but she was a spy as well. Apparently the Grand Prior had heard of a place where a few dragons were living with their slaves. He wanted to know several things, things like: how many dragons there were, whether they were old or young, how many slaves they had, whether the slaves would rebel against their dragon masters if given the chance. Things of that nature. So this was Nadine's job. She was pretty young and quite small for her age, easily small enough to be ignored by a big dragon. It had happened many times before. She expected this to be no different, but who knew? Something exciting could always happen. She sneaked onto the grounds, staying under cover of trees and bushes and keeping a sign out for any dragons. To her complete surprise, she didn't see anything. However, what she did see were slaves. Human slaves. Carefully and quickly, she moved through her cover until she got close to the slaves, who seemed to be doing some kind of outdoor work, but she didn't recognize it. What were they doing? She stood up tall and walked right to where the slaves were, pretending to be one of them. That was one trick about what she did. Hide in plain sight, just don't stand out. That's the rule. "Hi, sorry to bother you," she said, tapping on a woman's shoulder, "but what are you doing here? And where is your Master?"

Rai was doing one of her daily tasks of tending to the gigantic garden that her dragon master had. This particular dragon didn't collect gold and sparkles as much as wild plants that had been imported from other countries and collected in her yard. She jumped as someone tapped her on the shoulder and whipped around, her bow staff in her hands in seconds. As the woman spoke, Rai raised an eyebrow at her. "If you were supposed to be here you would know. Where are you from?" she didn't answer the womans question, not yet. If she gave away something her master wanted kept secret to some other dragons slave... well, that would not end well for Rai!

Nadine's first instinct was to draw her weapons so she could defend herself, but that would defeat the purpose. She took a deep breath, pleased with her ability to think rationally in this situation. She'd been told that was one of the reasons she was selected for this mission, so she tried to make sure she actually put it to good use. She quickly raised her hands up, showing they were empty in a sign of peace. She smiled kindly, "Hey calm down. I'm not here to cause problems. My name is Nadine and I'm from the Knights of Purity," she answered the woman's question, hoping to help her relax. "Have you heard of the Knights of Purity before?" she asked curiously. It was always interesting to see how slaves answered this question. She paused a moment before adding, "Maybe I can help you with whatever you're doing and we can talk?"RAI ELESSDIL

As the woman raised her hands Rai lowered her staff, but only just. The woman gave a name and... what? The Knights? Rais eyes widened and she lowered her staff the rest of the way. At her next question about if she'd heard of the Knights, Rai simply nodded. She had always thought they were a myth, really, and she didn't know how to react. Was this person pulling her leg?\ Then the woman asked if she could help her and Rai was shaken out of her stupor. "Erh, I'm just planting these flowers. Their... Romanian..." she was still astounded that the woman even said anything about the Knights. Rai led the woman over to where she was getting the seeds. "You... why are you here?"Nadine Blaire Adler

Nadine could see the cynicism in the woman's eyes, the doubt. Did she know anything about the Knights of Purity or not? Nadine knew things would be much easier if this woman had heard of the Knights before, but she was confident she could bring this woman onto her side. Probably. Then she nodded, hopefully showing that she did know the stories. Nadine followed when the woman led her to some seeds. She grabbed a few, hoping that the woman would take it as a sign that she was going to follow her lead on what to do with them. Then she decided to be blunt about it. "Just show me what to do. And I'm here to help. That's what the Knights of Purity do. They help people who are being controlled by the dragons. I help them do it. So what can I do to help you?" Nadine wasn't sure if the woman would trust her so easily, but she hoped she would. That would make everything so much easier. RAI ELESSDIL

"Well... you first you take them over here and then open the soil with one hand and plant the seed with the other," she showed the Knight how to do this, all the while keeping her eyes wide on the woman. Then she asked what she could do to help and Rai moved her head in closer. Then she gestured to another woman across the yard. "That's my mother," her tone was hushed, "I want you to take her with you. I... today may not be the best day, but maybe you could come back. Do you do that? Rescues?" she asked the woman with large, pleading eyes. Nadine Blaire Adler

Nadine followed the young woman and copied her motions as she showed Nadine how to plant the seed. Once she saw what to do, she continued, wanting to help and have a good excuse to continue talking with her. Then the young woman started pointing and whispering quietly about her mother. Nadine smiled kindly. "Rescues, I do and I will help your mother. Today won't work, but the whole point of me coming here is to try and help free all of you. Will you help me figure out how?" Nadine was almost confident that this young woman would help her, but she wanted to ask, just in case. "Also, what is your name?" Nadine couldn't believe she hadn't asked before now, but if this young woman was going to help her, she'd need her name. RAI ELESSDIL

"No, no not today," Rai agreed. Then the woman asked her to help and asked her name. Rai caught her breath. "I... I'll help you. But it's dangerous," she gestured for Nadine to follow and led her toward the bag of seeds again. She stayed quiet near the other workers as she gathered again and went back to the soil. "I'm Rai. Some of the workers are okay with this life, comfortable even. They'd do anything to get on Radkeh's good side. Even if that means turning in traitors. It's not only the dragons we should be wary of," she explained. Nadine Blaire Adler

Nadine followed Rai closely as she led her back toward the seeds and then farther away from the other workers. Then the young woman spoke and Nadine was even more pleased by her choice in confidante. She just had a feeling about Rai and now she was sure that her feeling was right. She listened carefully and then asked, "Is there anyone here that you're sure we can trust to be on our side. I need to know how many people will be with me and how many will be against me. That will make a difference when it comes time to free you all. I'm pretty good at slipping by the dragons unnoticed, but I need to know what people to avoid and which ones to approach." She stopped planting and turned to face Rai for a moment. "And I want you to be careful. I appreciate your help, but I would rather you not approach anyone about this plan. I don't want them turning you in to ... Radkeh, was it? You just tell me who I can trust and I'll talk to them. If they turn me in, there's no harm done because your dragon won't be able to find me." She smiled, hoping Rai would trust her and do as she asked. She did not want anything to happen to this young woman. RAI ELESSDIL

"I... I don't know. I don't talk to many people here. Anyone, really. I keep to myself and my mother. She is more of a social butterfly than I am... we'd have to ask her about that. I reckon it's safest to not trust anyone," she said. She had always been that way, thinking it was best to just not trust anyone and to keep to herself as much as possible. He mother always had so much faith in people, always talking about unlocking potential and whatnot. Rai was just purely in survival mode, always. Rai nodded as Nadine said not to approach anyone about the plan, "Oh, don't worry about that. I'm not even sure if... yeah, Radkeh is her name. I can't... I don't know," she said, her eyes widenening as this was becoming more real by the second. Suddenly her face hardened and she gave Nadine a firm nod, a fire in her eyes. "we can do this."Nadine Blaire Adler

Nadine nodded, pleased by Rai's decision. She smiled conspiratorially, "Yes we can do this. And we will." she thought for a moment before continuing. "I do think it is a good idea to stick to your normal behavior as well. You said you keep to yourself and your mother. Let her continue talking to people and you do what you normally do so you're not suspicious. Is there a time when I can come and talk to you and your mother about who I should approach? Some time that no one else would notice?" It was almost time for Nadine to leave, she could sense it, but she wanted to make sure she had everything ready and in place for when she returned. She wanted to help Rai and her mother. RAI ELESSDIL

Rai nodded, "sundown tomorrow. Radkeh will be going to a relatives home in preparation for some ceremony of light or something like that. The actual ceremony is next week... she'll be gone for three days," she said this quickly, knowing that people around her where getting restless with the new face. Rai turned toward Nadine, placing a hand on her arm, "I will see you then?" she said, intense hope in her eyes. Nadine Blaire Adler

Nadine smiled, relieved at the news. "That sounds perfect! Of course you will see me then," she smiled at her new-found friend. "I will go and get my friends ready. We will be back tomorrow evening. I promise," she said quietly, reaching forward to shake hands with Rai. "Goodbye for now," she said before turning and rushing away. She did not want to make the other workers more suspicious than they already were. She quietly moved into the bushes and shadows, rushing away from the area. She needed to get back to camp as soon as she could, let them know what needed to be done. RAI ELESSDIL (the end??)
