again, though her demeanor is not nearly so resigned, though her injuries are more extensive.  Her arm is bandaged, and the bulk of bandaging can be seen on her abdomen, but she does not appear as sullen as before.  Instead, a glimmer can be seen to her features, a shred of hope in her beautiful face.  With her uninjured hand, she lifts the small scrap of parchment and pins it over the first, dismissing the previous.</em> </span> </p><p></p><p><strong><span style="color: DarkSlateBlue"><span style="font-family: 'Sylfaen'">The shadows come slowly and echo your
