Moments of Peace

Annsuel looked out across the city of Bree.  She had been searching for her friend for a little while, and then she had found Zurich had been captured by bounty hunters and turned over to Lord Gerwolf.  Levarris told her that, and when she begged to go see Zurich, he took Annsuel to her.  Poor Zurich had been cowering in the corner of the bleak room, holding a chunk of shattered wood in her hands, drifting off into sleep.  Annsuel awoke her, and Zurich's gaze turned to confusion.

As Levarris stepped into the hall, Annsuel revealed all of her secrets to Zurich.  She told her of her past as Lady Elodiel and of her love for Levarris.  Then Zurich told her that she would probably be hung, but she promised Zurich she would save her.  Fear gripped Annsuel's heart for her friend's safety.  

She came back to Bree, climbing to the roofs where she over looked the Prancing Pony.  She knew she needed to free her friend, but how could she?  If she was caught, then that would be two people Harlyn loses, and if she failed, then that would be Zurich's life.  Annsuel felt stuck, perhaps she could persuade Levarris to assist her?  She knew he loved her, but she also knew that there would always be some things he could not give her.  And was Zurich's life be one of these? 

No, Ann would save Zurich.  With or without Levarris's help. She promised Zurich that much.
