Reprieve [aka, What a Night! Part Ten]

Soon, she saw Melyanna pass by her. Myra had no idea if it had been minutes or hours... or days. The sword was back in her back and she felt... strange. She had wanted to hurt Melyanna, she knew. But only because of the hurtful words she'd spoken. Myra frowned, pushing the thoughts away. Once Mely had gone, Myra stepped from the shadows and went back inside the Arrow.

["Elves will do it anywhere." "Brings a whole new meaning to 'tree huggers' eh?"]

Faelen came up beside her as she moved to look out the western window once more. "Q was right... that is a nice sword."

"Leave me be." Myra was so lost in thought, she didn't even sense Faelen's motive as he gripped his hammer and pulled back his arm. Bringing it down with all his strength...onto Myra's head. She collapsed in a heap onto the Bard's Chair. Faelen made quick work of removing the sword from her possession.

["Well I guess that concludes tonight's Mystery Elven Theatre"]

When next Myra knew what was happening she was in what looked like a rune library, and her head was pounding.

Gal whispered to her, "Shh. This is my home. You are safe here."

"Where...?"

"You are sitting in my rune library." He dabbed a moist cloth on her forehead.

"How did...?"

"I found you unconscious in the Arrow... do you remember what happened?"

Myra touched the back of her head gingerly and then growled quietly, "Faelen."

Galahad helped her to sit up.

"...you should not have brought me here."

"I had to bring you somewhere. I walked in with The Shadow standing over you. I had to make you safe."

"I mean... you... you should not be near me. It is not safe for you." Myra looked around the room.

They went back and forth like this until Myra was too tired to argue. The weakness from the Lantern's draining caught up with her, as did the wearing of the events with Q'wellen... and her fight with Mely... Soon, she was leaning on Galahad for support, his arm about her tiny waist.

Galahad took her to the roof of his home and that is where she quickly fell asleep.
