In the middle of it



The sun goes down at the horizons of Enedwaith. Anriett silently reaches the wooden walls of a camp in the middle of those lands. She is hiding and looking towards the front gate of the camp. Two guards are standing in front of it, holding spears while talking to each other and scanning the roads with their eyes.

A man would appear in front of the guards. He is muscular, wearing leather armor and his sword on the back. He looks like the locals, been born of these lands. Having long black hair and braided beard, his eyes are black too, on his sunkissed skin may appear some scars here and there.
The guards step away from his way so he enters the camp. It is a quiet cold evening, their breath would be seen. All the men in the camp sitting around the campfire or fighting each other around it. They are drinking, eating and wearing no weapons. Everybody is busy with their own things around.
Daev takes his way towards the main building with a lot tents around it. He stops sometimes to greet those around and having a short talk with them. Seems like they know him well. When he reaches the main building Anriett would mumble some...

- Do not fail me man. You are better not doing it this time.

With that she turns back and heads to find a back gate or a way to sneak into the camp. When she turns a child would appear in front of her and grabs her arm, pulling her away not so far. She can remember her from the shack sooner.

- I do not have time for that child - whispers and the child says nothing as usual

The child keeps on pulling her arm until they reaches a hole under the wall. Maybe some kind of animal dug it out sooner. The little girl crawls into it and waving her to follow. Anriett would do it as there is no more choice at the moment. On the other side they hiding back to a tent close to the main building. She would ask the child to leave the camp fast and wait outside for her own safe.
 
Daev steps out of the main building after some time with a meany grin on his face. He is carefully scanning the camp once again and signs to Anriett when notices her. She nods and grabs some torchlights from the ground next to the tent. Fires them on one by one and throws them on the thatch of the main building. She waits till the whole roof is under fire and the people running out of the building in a panic.

- Your turn man... - whispers and scanning the people around with her eyes

The man is waiting for the wanted one to leave the building. When he does, he grabs his arm and leads him towards the tent where Anriett was hiding.

- This way to the back gate! - he shouts at the man to lead him that way

He follows him without a question. When he reaches the tent, Anriett would push him on the ground and slain him with a cut at his neck. He falls on the ground and she would take his head. When she is done, she hides it into a piece of cloth, wrapping it into it when she notices an amulet on the man's chest. She takes it and hides it into her pocket.
She is looking around, but can't see Daev anywhere, she decides to leave the camp fast so took her way towards the hole. When she is out, she can't even see the child who helped her. She is running back to her horse as fast as she can and makes it ready to leave. She took her way towards Eregion.
