I whip my head to the side at the sound of an unfamiliar voice asking me about my true name. My eyes take in the woman who appeared out of nowhere and is standing next to me. Her bearing seems to be military in nature. Her blonde hair frames the many scars that cover her face. This one has seen some battle. I see the arrow clutched in her hand and I force myself to stay emotionless. My annoyance bubbles up from within. How dare Baalhan send someone? I move so that I am standing in front of her without answering her question.
"Who are you, what do you want, and why do you have that." I point at the arrow. I keep my voice even though a sharp edge floats in the corner of my words.

I will myself to return to my previous side. I turn and mutter a short incantation in the language of the elder gods. A pulse of sapphire power rapidly expands outward. All who may have seen me will now remember nothing. All of evidence of my presence is gone and erased from the world. I quick step back into the safe house, close, and lock the door. I quickly walk back to the room where my fellow gods are planning. For now I trust few. Ms. Remorares will have to earn her place. I stop in the doorway of the room where my fellow deities are gathered. I lower my head and once again whisper in the language of the elder gods "Leila I am ready for us to speak."
I look over to where she sits with another who must earn their place in this alliance. Leila has greater strength, wisdom, skill, knowledge, and power than she lets on. There are very few deities for whom I would lay down my life. She is one of the few that I would sacrifice it all for.
