A few weeks passed...

A rider came in by horse requesting to speak with Madam
Moyerius. Rachelle comes from the study with Shielhan to the
door "I am she" she says softly. The rider looks to her smiling
softly as he bows "this has been sent from Sacred Gates
M'lady, its urgent" she explains handing her a scroll with a
strangely familiar seal.

She walks back into the study taking her seat next to
Shielhan on the couch. She explains to him what she was told
then proceeds to open the scroll, breaking the crest to do so.
Rachelle reads quietly tears welling in her eyes as she learns of
her father for the first time in her life, she looks to Shielhan
shaking her head when she asks her what is wrong. She hands
him the scroll and stands hurrying to her room. Within the scroll
she was to travel to seek the family brood. Her sisters and
brothers of embrace of her father Loriean.

Full instructions where left as what was to be done.
Shielhan went to Rachelle's room to see her packing, she had
little take "I am sorry M'love, but I must go seek the one they
say is my sister. I shall return home soon" she says softly with
tears in her eyes. He walked to her wrapping his arms around
her whispering that he loved her and understood and would be
here waiting for her return. With that said she heads to the
stable for a horse, mounting it she heads off into the evening.

Days into her ride Rachelle finds a small area to rest, tieing
down her horse she makes camp just outside the town. Night
fall comes quick, she settles down, a small fire not far from her
to keep her warm. Drifting into a restless sleep.
A strange noice awakens her sitting up quickly she looks
around, seeing none around she waits listening. Suddenly from
no where a man leaps at her, she screams ...
