She listened to the squirrel talk, still thinking she was crazy. Her eyes widened suddenly as what he said finally clicked in her head. "A thief? Wait...you're the best?" she pondered it for a moment and then grinned slightly. "I don't believe you." she said, hoping the squirrel took the bait.

"Ah ah ah sista, no use trying to egg me on. First you don't believe I talk, then you don't believe i'm da best thief eva!"

He scratched his head a moment.

"Look I didn't come here to start a fight. I just came to see if the rumors were true about the orcs."

"No, no..I'm sorry Barrley...but maybe you could help us out.." she said, looking down at Lucia who was still asleep. She frowned slightly and then looked to the squirrel, telling him their story and everything that happened. "You see they have my friends bag, and we need it.." she looked at the squirrel pleadingly.

"Why not just leave this place and head to Lanturns? I mean, it's not the best place but it's better than worrying yourself sick."

"Lanturns?" she asked, tilting her head slightly. "We need his bag before we can go anywhere." she said, she was being careful about what she said about the bag, he was a thief.

"You mean you never heard of Lanturns? Good greif girl..." The squirrel shook his head. "Look, bag or no bag, I think it would be ebst to be out of this place come sunrise. I heard something in orcish about stealing unmarked something... I don't know it was hard to tell."

She bit her lip slightly, "No we need that bag, Barrley you don't understand..it's important." she said, moving Lucia carefully and standing up. "Please Barrley, will you do it? It will be difficult, it's towards the north in the elven palace, it will be held in a chamber near the top of the west tower. It will be heavily secured, do you think you can do it?" she asked, kneeling down to the squirrel.

"Fine fine fine.. I'll see what I can do..."

the squirrel shook it's head and turend around, heading for teh tent opening.

"Good grief... I dunno why I bothered coming to this place. Stupid elf in the dungeun said to find this chick. Must be the wrong one."

Xelera's eyes widened, "What!? An elf! Tell me." she said, moving to the squirrel. Perhaps her brother wasn't dead, that would solve everything, right? But how did he get in a dungeon?

Barrley turned and lokoed at ehr.

"Some elf managed to get to a kin of mine. Said that I needed to find the girl who left the village."

"I left a village" she said frantically, kneeling down closer, "Did they say who they were? What did they say?" she asked. It had to be her brother, she hoped it was her brother.

"He said that he was the prince, if you can believe that."

Xelera cried out happily, picking up the squirrel and kissing him. "Where is he? He is my brother!" she told the squirrel, her brother could fix this all.

"Ay ay ay! Simmer down, you're still in the orc's camp!" The squirrel said, looking around.

"He's in one of the dungeuns. apparently someone stuck him there and wrote him for dead."

"What dungeon though?? Where is it, how do I get to it?" she asked, glancing around at the orcs shadows from the fire.

"I don't know! i just know that he's in one of the dungeons!" Barrley squirmed out of her hold and flopped on the ground.

"Look, I'm heading back to the forest. i suggest you either head to Lanturn and think of an idea or barge back to the castle and risk getting killed. Either way, best of luck."

"Wait!" she stood up, "Does your friend know where this dungeon is? I have no idea where to even look! Where can I find your friend?" she asked.

"Sorry!" And he was gone. Lucia, still asleep, shifted on the ground a bit.

Xelera frowned, sulking slightly she was unlucky. That had to be it, she just couldn't understand. She turned to Lucia and shook his gently, "Lucia..Lucia..we need to go, the orcs are thinking about stealing me from you."

Lucia stired and blinked, sitting up.

"Hm? What?" his hair was sticking out at odd angles. Yawning he looked up at Xelera.
