Wren came back to conciousness suddenly her eyes snapping open and her heart pounding, her whole body was alert remembering how they had been surrounded by enemies only moments before. She relaxed slightly when she saw that only she and those who fought alongside her were left standing, though several looked to be badly injured. She forced herself to one knee but could not manage to stand so instead she focussed on her breathing calming her heart and mind. Things had happened so quickly that she had not had time to fully realise that she was free, no more would the Demon torture her for its own amusement. Yet she could remember nothing of herself or her life before being in this hellish prison, panic kept trying to rear its head whenever she though too long and hard on this. To not know who you were was to be like an empty vessel with no meaning nor purpose and she did not like that feeling one bit.
She glanced around and saw the tall big man and the woman with scales nearby, the woman was on her knees gasping for breath and Wren saw blood from many wounds on her body, the big man seemed to be faring no better. She imagined she too would look in a similar state judging from the pain she felt from a multitude of places on her body. By sharp contrast the woman who seemed to like the shadows and had some connection to this place was barely injured at all. Wren eyed her uneasily unsure what to make of this woman who moved like wind and seemed at home in the shadows. But she held her peace, they had fought and bled together and still had yet to find their way back from this plane. Though where to go would be a question, where did you go when you had no memory? But that was for later once they were away from the Abyss.
She looked at each of the others for a moment her black eyes showing no emotion before bowing slightly. "I thank you for your aid in freeing me from my jailer. I do not doubt that if you had not behaved as you did that I would have remained a prisoner here for all eternity."
She paused a moment glancing at the remains of their fallen companion. "I am sorry for your loss she fought bravely and died well."
"What brought you all to this infernal place?" She asked after a respectful silence for their companion.

Magic brought us here. There's a castle here that is in some way linked to this plain. It's possible that there is also a way back. The person responsible if memnoc was being true is my adoptive fathers Mage, if it is true he is responsible for simaneas death and that of our companion virani.

*Spitting blood from her mouth and leaning against Kalon, blood dripping from her clenched fist where her bows string had dug deep Kat turned her gaze to Kal then the new comer. The fire's blazing briefly in her eyes once more at the mention of her sister Verani*
"Hopefully Kal you are right and we can find a way back to the prime quickly, *takes a deep labored breath* but if the mage had a hand in this and we are to deal with him a short rest may do us some good. *as she turns a concerned gaze to Kalon and his blood soaked body*
"I am glad we could free another soul from this place *looking at Wren*, no one should be held like that for any amount of time *growls*. If you to need a way to the Prime Material then you are welcome to travel with us, but be forewarned *gasps as she grabs her ribs and tightens her grasp on Kalon's cloak coughing up more blood* this battle is not over an we may be walking straight into another fight.
*Growls to herself in annoyance with herself for letting the fatigue and wounds bring her to her knees*
"Give me a moment and I will see about tending to some of your wounds"

Wren regarded the woman, Katalina, and thought that it took a woman of honour to still think of others before yourself when so badly wounded. For some reason that mattered to Wren, it made her feel...more at ease though why she could not say.
She had no explanation for her emotional state either, she felt eerily calm and focussed and this seemed at odds with her current situation. Oh she could feel, that much was certain.She felt the Rage boiling and the fierce satisfaction of an enemy vanquished,she felt hatred so deep it was bottomless and she felt the panic of losing herself clawing at her.And she felt the pain of her wounds, the agonising pain a constant companion. Yet in between was the calmness, it was vulnerable and she had to work at it, yet somehow she knew how to be this way.
She shook her head, another empty space in her memories, nothing that she could do about now.
"Look to your own first." She winced visibly as more blood flowed from her body before showing stoic calm again. "I am not so proud of foolish as to refuse your aid but I can wait. I have learned patience in this place." She said her voice hard.

"I bet you have, how did you come to be in *looks in disdain around her* in such a vile place?
*smiles* I can wait for a while longer *uses Kalon to pull herself up right once more*, let's get you to patched up a little first"

Wren realised Katalina was determined to help her and forced herself to her feet. She staggered and closed her eyes concentrating on keeping her balance. After a moment she took the steps forward to bring her closer to Katalina and her large friend.
Frustrated at her weakness she found herself sinking to her knees again, her energy spent. She reminded herself that it was not just the battle that had wounded her but her time spent in this place as well.
She sighed quietly at the question, it was a perfectly understandable question but she did not know how to answer.
"I...don't know." She finally admitted reluctantly. "I have no memory of my time before being here. I do not even know my true name." She looked down at the sword she carried and smiled wryly. "Wren seemed as good as any other."
She frowned. "I can only assume that the...attention I received from the demon caused me to forget. Though I had believed I was stronger than that." Her last words were spoken quietly more to herself.

Kal looks to everyone once again my past and what I was has caught up with me, Kalon accept this gift it will help protect you from harm handing over a necklace (Natural Armour to the 4th circle of power)then slowly walks over to simanea's body. She kneels down and closes Simaneas eyes, rest for now we'll find away of getting you back amongst us. Kal retrieves her blade and stands clearly exhausted I don't know about the rest of you but I could do with a................. Kal stumbles, her eyes roll up into the back of her head and she collapses in a heap.

Kalon stands, just about. Nods to kal when she passes the amulet and stops her from falling to the floor with a tree trunk of an arm.
Helping kat with his other arm he looks over smiling.
"Wren is a fine name for any who will fight by our side. A pleasure to meet you friend"
The big man is clearly exhausted with every ragged breath. He body a mess of bloody wounds, acidic burns and quite possibly a few fractured/ broken bones.
By all accounts he should be long dead but he doesn't show as much pain as he should.
"Oh this time I will accept that I need healing!"
Kalon laughs with some difficulty and blood.

Wren glanced at the woman, Kalitec, as she fell wondering if she should aid her. She was about to step forward to do just that when the big man caught her with one very broad arm. Wren looked closer at the now unconscious woman and frowned, she did not appear badly injured but then Wren did not think she was knowledgeable of such things. She was sure that whomever she was, it was not a healer.
"Thank you." She replied to Kalon." You are a skilled and courageous warrior, it was good to fight alongside you. I imagine you and your friends destroy much evil with your skills."
Wren frowned again, where had that thought come from? Why did it seem important to her that these people fought evil or that she fought it. With a shake of her head she dismissed the thought for now.
"Will she be alright?" Wren asked glancing at Kalitec.

*Kalon smiles at Wren*
"With my and kat too look after her im sure she will be. She is connected with this place more than we know and it must of taken a toll on her very soul. With you here as well she is in very safe hands"
*Kalon pauses to struggle for breath*

Wren looked down sharply at the unconscious woman. "What do you mean connected to this place? Only the evil dwell here do they not?"

*Kat pulls herself straigh with some effort freeing Kalon to hold Kal*
"Yes she was connected with this place, it's a long story. Did you see her react when I destroyed the throne?"

Wren nodded slowly she remembered the moment when the throne had been destroyed. As it had fell apart it's blood and bones spreading outwards, Kalitec had indeed reacted oddly. She had staggered slightly as though she had taken the blow and not the throne. It had not been a physical thing as there was no wound but more a spiritual thing.
Wren did not like the idea that anyone was "connected" to this place where evil held sway and felt an urge to draw her sword. Two things stayed her hand though, the first was that Kalitec was unconscious and the idea of striking down a helpless foe sat poorly with her. The second was that she had fought alongside them, helped destroy the evil here and as such could not be evil herself. More she had not tried to hide from Wren that she was connected to this place.
Wren made a conscious effort to relax her stance, her decision made. She would not raise arms against those who had aided her. If Kalitec or any of the others proved to be evil later, well that was a different matter.
"I see." She finally said. "Do you know of a way to leave this place? I am...eager to be gone."

*moves over to Wren* "right let's get you patched up a little before we move anywhere *looks to Kalon making sure he's still looking after Kal, satisfied she pulls a wand out and places it on Wren's shoulder* Don't resist the magic as begins uttering "Fallane Fea" *note: eleven words meaning healed spirit* under her breath several times till she thinks Wren is looking a little healthier. (Healed for 40hps)
*Wearily returning to Kalon* Your turn broad one *winks then whispers to him* I know how close that was! Not only saying you won't try and hide you need healing or turn it down, but I have never seen you stay in a rage so long!. *She then begins her chant again (healed for 102hps)
*Placing her hand on Kal making sure she still breathes easily, she then turns the wand to herself*
*Looking over to Wren and Kalon* How are you both feeling now? There is still some power left in Kal's wand if you still hurt to badly?"
