((Took some liberties here... Hope no one minds. If anyone cares to play along. Chime in.))

"This will hurt... Alot." She smiled.

"No wait... I changed my mind. I want to go with you." Jianilde stammered.

"I already told you it was too late." She smiled again. "Are you ready?"

It was all to surreal... Chained, naked. Head shaven clean of her dirty blonde locks. Jianilde's eyes darted around the dank basement. She smell of sweat and blood and the faint musk from passions past seared her nostrels. Setting her eyes on her captor she took a deep breath.

"Wait! What if this kills me?" Jian gulped.

"You've heard of the undead right?" The woman chuckled as she threw the lever. The whirr of electricity and metals grinding. The room became lit with the bolts of light and the smell of searing flesh. She tried with all her will not to scream. However, one cannot control themself as they are being burned alive!

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Jianilde jumped in a panic to the light of the afternoon sun. "Damn the light." She muttered. "That damn dream again." Wiping her forehead clear of the sweat that had gathered she enhaled deeply and stood from her bed. She quickly made way to the windows to shutter them. Things still didn't make sense. Her memory was foggy at best. Things were not the same as she could remember. As she turned to enter her bathing room she recounted what she could. She was found some months ago by a group of Blood Knights in training on the beach in tattered robes which barely covered her modesty. Her body was shaven clean from head to toe. (At first they mistook her for an undead but this was quickly discounted when it was discovered that she had a thumping in her chest.) It took weeks for Jianilde to remember her name and then it was discovered that some sort of inheritance was granted to her. Only recently did most of her memories return. Her first order of business was to repurchase her deceased parents home in Silvermoon City. However a scant two or three weeks was missing from her memory and she could not remember.

"I think a bath is in order." Jian says to herself in the mirror. Drawing herself a bath with her special water she disrobes and tests the warmth with her toes. She never felt clean any more. Sitting in the water and scrubbing with the best soaps she could buy would not help. It just all felt wrong. A knock at the door to her room and the creak of her door alerted her.

"Jianilde?" The voice reverberated from the bedroom.

"In here Dela." Jianilde answered as she flicked her gown back over her frame. The Forsaken woman entered the bathing room with a look of distain on her gorgeous face. Her glowing eyes flicked around the room and then on to Jian's slender frame.

"I am going to Orgrimmar for more training. Transitioning from being in the shadows to screaming at the top of my lungs with a bastard sword in my hands is liberating." Everindela smiled. "Was there anything that I needed to pick up?"

"Just more soap from that druid is all. I'm nearly out." Jian groaned as she shook the nearly empty glass vial.

"Very well then. I am off." She turns to walk out the door and stops in half stride. "Jianilde. I thank you for letting me stay here. I don't know what I would do with out you. These last few months have been worse than when I became this... Abomination."

"It is not a problem my friend." Jian smiled. "Just take it one step at a time."

"Agreed. I am off. Good luck with your bath." The warrior sighed as she quietly exited the room.

Sighing Jianilde flicked off her gown and slid into the warm water. An electric feeling rushes through her as she begins to absorb the mana from the water. Closing her eyes she takes a deep breath and submerges herself. An eternity passes before she lifts her self from the water and takes in fresh air. Glancing at the mirror Jian watches the green glow fade from her eyes and become the blue was was most accustom to. She needed to hit the path and get back on her feet. She needed to find some friends. Just where to start was the question.

((Hello! I have missesd you! The castle is not the same without a certain rogue sliding down the bannisters. I am in the middle of a few things right now but would gladly add to this. Izrail was just thinking about contacting Jian ingame.))

Sunfury Estate

The birds signaled the dawning of a new day. Through an open window the morning sun burned against her fair skin. A sleep filled with calm became fitful and disturbed.

"Not again..." Jianilde sighed. Grabbing a pillow she tossed it towards the light. It silently flipped through the window and on to the streets below. Sitting up on her soft bed Jian rubbed the sleep from her eyes. The rush of overindulgence swepted across her in the form of a throbbing sensation in her head.

"Oh... Too much ale." She grumbled as she slowly slid from the bed and placed her feet on the floor. Following her routine, she made way into the bathroom and prepared herself for another day. Spashing her face with water she stares into the mirror. The previous night at the inn was an eye opeining experience. It felt to Jian like a trip through time.

Faces. Strange yet known.

Names. Forgotten yet familiar.

Voices... They radiate from the void of her memory. The cries of anguish fill her head. A woman? No. Maybe it was a man? Foul beasts and creatures of unshakable horror tear through Jianilde's mind like the claws of a tiger through the flesh of its prey. The room becomes cold as ice. Her fingers become numb with frostbite. She looks down to her hands, they are shaking and cold. Jian's eyes dart back to the mirror her eyes are a glow like jade stones. Her breath is unsteady and forced from her mouth like a steam from being in the late winter cold. Her face twists into a one she had not ever seen. Vile and evil with demonic runes skittering across her skin. It smiles and reaches forward towards the mirror. Only to press against it as if something was holding it back. Jian tries to step back but she cannot. Her limbs will not obey her will.

"Soooooon... Yoooouuuu will knnnow who you really are..." The twisted visage hisses.

"N-no! What?!" Jian squeaks. "What?"

"Soon!" The hand bursts through the mirror and grabs at Jianilde. In a panic she turns to run and stumbles to the ground. Footsteps, heavy and labored approach her.

"No! Stay away!" She screams dragging herself towards the bedroom. The hand reaches for her and takes hold. The scream can be heard from the streets below her home.

"By the light! Jian wake up!"

"No.. No!" Jianilde opens her eyes and gasps. She thrusts her hands out and aims for the throat of her attacker out of instinct. Only to be blocked by a leather gloved hand.

"You know..." Everindela sighs. "Someone did that to me once when I was alive. No one gets another chance at that move again."

"Everindela?" Jianilde blinks in astonishment. "Did you see it?"

"See what?" Everindela responds, Even though the undead womans lips move her voice seems to flow from the nether.

"That thing! It was me, but it wasn't me and it was just right there in the bathing room!" She points behind her not wanting to look back. Everindela glances over Jianilde's shoulder and then back to the shaken elf.

"I don't see anything. Did you have too much to drink? Have you taken a bath in that mana water yet?"

"Forget it!" Jian groans as she stands. "What time is it?"

"Its the early evening." Dela replies. "I found you laying on the floor here." She looks at her friend and a look of concern flows over her face. "Are you sure you're alright? I can call for a doctor if need."

"I'm fine. I need to go out. Please let me get ready." Jian sighs running her hand through her damp hair.

"Ok." Sighing, Everindela stands and steps out of the room. "I suggest that you don't drink any more! I remember drinking so much one time that my insides were spilled into a lake!"

"Enough! Leave me be!" Jian groans. The undead womans laugh fades off as makes her way down the hallway.

"I need to find some answers to this riddle." Jianilde sighs as she returns to her bathing room.
