*Despite jumping back Midnight doesn't take her eyes off the man for several minutes. Her vision blurred by the tears.*
*She hears Mog's voice and her questions but she find's it difficult to make sense of them. The headache is now dulled to alomost nothing., the doors securely closed again. She turns her attention to Mog. Going over in her mind Mog's questions she answers some of them.*
I'll be fine. He showed me some long forgotten memories...I think.
*She turns her attention back to the man and slowly takes back her necklace and puts it back round her neck. Both necklaces give off a soft glow.*
*Despite Midnight not wanting to trust this man she feels herself do so. Realsing how low the fire has got she figures they must of been 'gone' for a couple of hours.*
Maybe now would be a good time to call it a night?
*Thinks* Coward! Taking the easy way out. Well you can bet your boots that he won't let you do that. Not for long anyway.

A good time to rest this definately is... A 'night' then... *With a small amount of cramp and no small amount of fatigue and pain, he crawls over to a corner of the cave. His position sufficently far enough round a corner to allow his new companions at least a small modicum of privacy.* *As he curls his cape around him and prepares for the on-set of a fit-ful sleep, his mind is a vicous whirl of thoughts and memories. It wasn't only Rhi..... 'Midnight'..... who has regained some truth from the experience* [To himself] Her reaction confirms what I suspected, as if there was a doubt to begin with! The order trained her well and it appears she has learned some new skills since her disappearance. I've got to make her remember... Make her remember her life at the monastery... I MUST know what happened when I returned from the ritual hunt, Vengeance for our people demands nothing less! Ah... but what of it... *He glance around the section of rock that he lies behind and watches his old sparring partner and her small companion, one fussing around the other with the dotage of a true friend...* ... it has been a long time, too long... But not so long that our progress cannot wait until the daylight. *With this, Coriolis moves back to his make-shift 'den' and falls into the bottomless sleep of the weary traveller...*

*In the depths of the night, a mist rises from the ground. Just as Coriolis and Mog are sleeping, and even Midnight's eyes are beginning to droop, they hear a splashing sound from the falls, above the usual noise of the waterfall. It sounds very faint and distant, but also as if it's getting closer. There is the cry of a male voice, a harsh cry of triumph. For a moment there is a roar, but most disturbingly it is a roar of silence. Then nothing, peace again.* *But the mist remains* [ModNote: The Operatives themselves appear in Espionage.]

*Midnight sit's bolt upright at the sudden noise. Damning her heightened hearing. Leaving the cave for a look she spies the mist.
*Thinks* That's odd
*Then she remember the night's earlier event's her mind forgets about the mist.*
*The man called something the Darkness. Midnight finds that quite ironic as all she can remember is her waking up in a village far from here.. Anything before that is blocked out by a darkness. Like a giant wall it loomed before her mind and prevented her from getting to her past.*
*Midnight always wondered where she had come from, how she had the ability to shape-shift and who had given her the necklace and dagger. Her necklace gives off a soft pale blue glow.*
*Midnight goes back into the cave. Looking over at the corner the man had gone into to sleep. Is he the man he claims to be?What was the feeling she was feeling?It had only started since he showed up.*
*Sighs*
*Maybe it would be best if her and the man part company?*
*Thinks* Me and Mog have enough problems already. Adding him to the mix would not be a good idea. Besides if Lord Fear is after us him being in danger as well is something I don't need on my mind.
*Midnight takes out a small bottle of a clear liquid and turns it about in her hands..*
First to ask Mog.
*Midnight gently nudges Mog but she doesn't stir.*
Looks like I'll have to act now.She'll understand.
*Midnight slowly walks over to the man the bottle open and ready.*

*The necklace and the Pendant suddenly give out a flash of light as she approaches. It's enough to disturb the sleeping figure of Coriolis*
[Groggy] hmm!?... whe?..... wha?...... whoo?
*He suddenly rolls over, startling her. As she jumps, he notices the sleeping draught and her apparent direction...*
What the........?!?

*Mutter's*
Damn and blast.
*Quickly looking round she spies a rather large rock. Using her alertness and cat like speed she quickly picks it up and,,,,,*
WHACK!!
*Not waiting to see whether the hit knocked the man out Midnight turns, grabs a sleeping Moogle and runs.*

*Realises that if the man had not been knocked out he would of been following them...if he could in the state she had left him in. Midnight begins to slow down just as they near the village and the Wolf's Howl Inn.* Let's get a room first and I'll explain why I have done what I've done. *Midnight suddenly realises that the feeling she experienced when the man was around had faded though not disappeared and her jewel though still glowing was fading fast before it went out and was just as she had always rembered it a plain but simple blue jewel on a silver chain.* (OCC: Continued in the Wolf' Howl Inn: A Place To Stay)

[Many Hours have passed. The sun has dropped and risen again. It's mid-afternoon] *With a groan, the weary Traveller rolls over and sits up. A thin layer of dirt has enshrouded him during the intervenening time. As he sits up, Coriolis places a hand to his forehead and winces. A very impressive 'Goose Egg' bump is beginning to emerge* Damn that treacherous wench and her stubborness! Has She been gone so long that She forgets her manners and doesn't even say 'Goodbye'? This will cost her more than the sharpness of her willful tongue...... *He stands up angrily, wincing in the now familar pain as he does so. As He leaves the cavern, a small but distinct trail of footprints leads off into the undergrowth...* [Sigh] Your rashness will one day be your undoing Rhiannon! So easy a trail to follow... You will need to remember your training and COVER YOUR TRACKS.......... *He makes pace into the undergrowth, following the footprints hopefully to their source.... "Midnight"* [OOC: Being Lead Toward: "First Blood"]
