“I don’t care what it says! I don’t want anything to do with that book.” Senaria turned away, refusing to look at the pages.

“It’s not my intention to press, I just need to know what you know about the mirrors.” Ravion closed the book, shoving it back into the satchel. Pulling a chair, he sat. “Please enlighten me and I’ll be out of your hair, never to ask you about it again.

Senaria turned to face him. Approaching, she sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around shoulders. “Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” She kissed his cheek. “You and I both know what would happen the next time I have knowledge you might need.”

Ravion found it strange to think of her as one of the dreualfar. She seemed so familiar despite the coldness she often displayed when protecting her people. She was strong and capable. Traits he was all too familiar with. A faint smile breached his lips. “An unfortunate side effect to my position. I'm sorry. I know you don't want to talk about your past, and I don't mean to pry.”

She sighed heavily, keeping her arms around him. “The dreualfar have many myths about their creation. One in particular says a dark mirror sucked the magic from their bodies, turning them into warriors of the night. Many variations have come and gone, but that’s always the general perception.”

Releasing her hold she stretched across him, grabbing the table's edge to keep herself firmly seated. Finding the hidden lever, Senaria watched the edge of the drawer appear. Pulling it open she grabbed a stack of parchment and quickly flipped through, finding one in particular that was torn around the edges and stained with yellow and black. It appeared as if someone had tried burning it. There were several small holes throughout and the corners were nearly gone. Handing the aged sheet to Ravion, she continued. “Shortly after Nezial took power rumors surfaced that someone had found a map to Eldarian. I didn’t know if there was any truth to it, at least I wasn’t. Not until I found that. I believed it nothing more than a rumor. The council was known to circulate such rumors to promote work among the less willful. Even those of us driven by an unquenchable thirst found solace in the prospect of a life away from battle. We were little more than slaves to the council's will. We'd work ourselves to death in pursuit of a simple life, only for another to come along and pick up where we left off. Many of us learned their tricks and simply stopped playing. But thousands of others had no choice. It kept the council in power, while distracting the rest and keeping us from rising up. So when I found this map I didn't believe what it was.” Senaria gestured him to look.

Ravion unfolded the parchment and studied the markings stained into the rough surface. He could see the forest's edge of what he guessed was Evinwood.
