Kit sat down on the ground near the fire. She watched it for awhile. "It is hard to speak of."

She put a piece of wood on the fire, her shaking subsided, she became calm.

She looked at Jarmok. "I am prey."

"What?" Kit looked at Jarmok. "You were a slave as well?" She looked back and forth between the two.

"And you Laren, who hunts you?"

Kit looked again to Jarmok, she had a confused stare.

"Did you mean that a slave hunts you? Ragnor? Were you saying a joke Jarmok?" The thought brought a small smile to her lips.

She picked up a stick and poke the fire.

"I can trust you two right?" she asked, her voice grave again.

"I trust you Jarmok. You may not be able to talk, but you wear your heart on your sleeve." Kit said solemnly.

She stared at the fire, after a moment she took a deep breath and began.

"Almost three years ago on Verindock Zinnyas Voldyn my life as I knew it was taken from me," a tear escaped her eye, shining in the firelight.

"I originally come from Mandin, a village outside of Kazbourne far to the east. I came home one late afternoon to strangers holding my parents captive. The two intruders, a towering black skinned man and an ill-favored looking boy had tied my mother down in the bedroom and held my father at knife point." Kit paused, Jarmok could feel the emotion emitting from her in the very air. This was very difficult for the young girl.

"The black man, named Drakyr, announced that I was to be his slave. A man who had no rights to me and, of course, I had never before met. My father struggled and the boy...he um..." Kit paused again. Her eyes flicked back and forth over the firelight, she was becoming unhinged again.

Laren put a hand on her shoulder. Kit clenched her fists and partially regained her composure. "Paladine, this doesn't get any easier telling."

"I'm okay."

"After the boy stabbed my father in the neck, my mind snapped at seeing my father's dead body. I passed out, my last memory of home was my mothers screams in the next room." Kit wiped the tears away.

"It is my assumption they killed her as well." Another pause, as she gazed at the fire.

"I loved my parents." Kit said in such a small voice it ripped at her friends hearts. In the one statement they realized how young this girl was to have lived through such a horrific tragedy. The one small admission spoke volumes to the type of happy life she had at home.

"When I awoke it was not for some time later. Drakyr and his minion Leech had taken me across the land, drugged, to be quiet for the trip. I awoke in a dungeon, which I found out later was in a Keep at the edge of the Swamp of Seers."

Kit breathed a sigh, "Jarmok, do you have any water?"

Kit thanked him and took a long pull from the cup.

She continued.

"Drakyr had captured me to serve as a host to a parasite." she said with a look of disgust. "This slug was deposited on my naked back where it grafted to my skin and soon invaded my mind. For it too was a Seer. It locked my spirit, my soul, my very conscience away within my own mind."

She looked at Jarmok and Laren, not sure if they understood. She turned to Jarmok and said, "I could feel, see, hear and smell. But I could not command my own movements, my body belonged to the slug."

They both appeared to understand so she gazed back at the fire and continued.

"After Markell had gained control, it was no longer necessary to keep me locked into the dungeon. Markell, through me, and his friend Drakyr were able to continue with their evil plans."

"Evil plans?" Laren asked.

"I will get back to that," she said, not taking her gaze from the fire.

"When at first I tried to rebel, Markell showed me the power he had over me," she again looked at Jarmok. Staring into his eyes to gain strength from the compassion she found there.

"He took his dagger, and split my arm open from elbow to wrist," tears were again in her eyes as she turned away. "The pain was all mine, it was but a shadow to him...I thought I would die. He healed me with an elixer, but promised to do it again if I stepped out of line."

Kit stopped for a moment to catch her breath, and her emotions.

Kit paused as she traced a finger down the length of her right arm, lost in the violent memory. Jarmok looked upon the broken young girl, outlined in the glow of the fire. He noted that there was no scar.

?So that?s how it remained for over two years. My pain was his control over me. I was never free of him, always with me, even as I slept. I was a prisoner in my own mind. He controlled my every move, every word and every deed. For two years Markell used me to perform chemical experiments in a laboratory of Drakyr?s keep. We did nothing but alchemy, without a single day of rest. Birthdays, days of festival throughout the year, the comfort of my home and family and growing up with my friends in Mandin, all the pleasures in life had been taken from me.? She stopped again, wiped a new tear from her eye and sighed. She was summoning the strength to go on.

?Then a few months after I turned fourteen, I had my first chance at freedom. One day in the lab, Markell had simply fallen off me, lapsing into unconsciousness. I later learned that he had fallen ill from a disease,? a rare smile had touched Kits lips, it was malevolent.

She quickly broke from it. ?The shock of my spirit rushing back into my mind, and the sudden ability to control my own movements threw me at first. But as soon as I regained control, I bolted from the lab and went to my dungeon bedroom to collect my things, leaving the slug behind on the lab floor.?

?As I was about to leave the bedroom, a girl named Jordan, who I thought was a fellow slave, betrayed me. She entered the room and shot me in the leg with a crossbow. She left me on the bedroom floor, bleeding to death. As I slipped into unconsciousness, I desparately wished for it.?

?But I was damned, for I awoke many hours later, chained to my bed, with the wound dressed and Drakyr standing over me.? Kit paused again, taking a breath and steeling herself.

The next statement she attempted quickly, as if to get it over with. But she failed. ?He announced that I was to be punished for my attempt to escape. His minion, Leech, the man who killed my father, he entered the room and?and he...?

Kit covered her face with both hands and shook as she wept, not able to continue.

Kit raised her head from Jarmok's shoulder. The cloth there was warm and now had a feint scent of Jasmine.

"Actually, I wouldn't mind something to eat. It was so chaotic in Stump that I really couldn't eat, and that candy wasn't enough," she sighed.

Still sitting next to him, Jarmok thought she looked better. She had found her way back, after being lost in the memories.

"Want to go back to the Thornhedge Laren? See if Keltan has anything?"

With a roll of her eyes, Maal drains one of the tankards before her and suddenly stands, knocking her chair over backwards with a loud clatter.  Leaning over the table, she says, "Prhaps, we should jus ask Garret if he has a more private room in the back that we can use to talk..."

With an exasperated sigh, she grabs up her remaining full mug of ale (carelessly spilling much of it on the table), straightens up to her full height, and marches around the table headed for the bar.

"Garret!" she calls out quite loudly over the din.  "Garret!!"...

Kit stared at the beautiful hair piece in her hands. Moments went bye. Kyle's heart felt it would stop as he anxiously awaited her response.

The wind caught her hair and blew it forward across her face, almost hiding her tears from him. She let a small cry as she continued to stare at the gift.

Kyle was suddenly frightened that he had offended her in some way. A moment before he started to apologize, for Paladine knew not what, she spoke.

"It is indeed the most beautiful adornament I have ever seen Kyle, but I cannot accept it," she said through her crying. The whisper of her voice almost stolen by the wind. She handed the gift back to his reluctant hands.

"Perhaps if I was a normal girl, but I am not. You would best be served if you did not pursue me."

Without warning, she bolted past him, running down the street, crying.

Kit jumped out of her skin.

She hadn't heard him behind her until the question was asked. She had never realized how quiet the town was this early in the morning, and until Jarmock frightened her, was just starting to enjoy the solitude.

"Jarmock you scared me straight into Avernus!" she exclaimed. She actually had to stop and get her breath, her hand over her chest, feeling her heart race.

"You are certainly a quiet one aren't you?" after a moment, the words of his question caught up to her mind.

"What do you mean by secret? We all hurt the rats and lizards." she said.

Kit watched Jarmock intently as he spoke. It took a moment or two, after he was done speaking, for the meaning of his words and gestures to catch up to her.

"Well, I use.....I make the humming," she started as she began to imitate the gestures Jarmock used, "from my head to make bad things happen to bad creatures," she continued as she tapped her head. Suddenly, she realized she was making a fool of herself.

"Wait a minute, you can underst....hear me a lot better than I can hear you. True?" she asked as she flushed.

At his nod, she sighed with relief.

"Then yes. I have the abilities of a Seer." She waited for a response. When she got none she continued.

"But I am a freak Jarmock. Unlike the Seers who are smart and educated in the art, I am nothing but a freak," she said as she looked at the ground where she was moving a rock around with her foot.

In a whisper she said. "Instead of using my intellect like the Seers, I use raw emotion to summon the power. That's why I don't like to use it. It always feels reckless, like I could lose control. And I don't want to hurt my friends," she said, continuing to play with the rock, afraid to look at Jarmock.

"Thank you Jarmock."

Kit stood quietly while Jarmock turned to leave. She wiped the last tear from her face and gave a small smile. The trees beyond Jarmock danced in the wind, and she suddenly thought it was a beautiful day here in Threshold.

OOC: Note that I have changed the date in the opener to reflect the coordinated (with Wildfire) date of this conversation (May 3rd).

"Um, sure, hand it to me. If you would like, I could do a really good job on the entire chest piece. Just give me today and tomorrow and it could be better than new! I will visit the leathery then head over to Spinners. In fact, why don't you meet me at the Stump tomorrow night, I was hoping all of us in the Protecterate could talk anyway. You know, and maybe do a little planning on how to better protect this town." Kit was very animated as she talked, as if suddenly realizing she had a lot to do.
