Once more Naissia found herself gazing from the garden roof of Rufus' home. He has let her stay there as she needed. He was usually at his other home with his wife Sarah. She thought back to the other night. She remembered the look in his eyes as she proceeded to tell him about the Regency meeting. He looked as if he had been betrayed. The ramblings of his wife, the resignation of Isk. The man was fighting a battle within his own group. Naissia just shook her head. It was amazing if the Regency would ever beable to get anything accomplished. She had hoped that she was wrong. She wanted to see the Regency survive and shove their achievement in the non believers face. She knew if anyone was going to beable to do it, it would be Rufus. She sat on the bench that seemed to have become her favorite. Rufus' voice echoing in her ear about resigning. She had begged him not to do it. She knew that it would only make a few very pleased to see him do it. She could not help but to laugh as she thought how she had to chase him about his home. How he would be angry and leave. He reminded her of Huma. Huma had done that often as well, being bothered about something and just leaving. Never saying I will be back or bye. Rufus said that Huma was his mentor. In this aspect Naissia could see it easily. She remembered his words as she had asked what he wanted of her should he depart the regency.

I was hoping you would join me in Nujelm.

Could she do that, should it come down to it. She had pledge her loyality to Rufus not to the Regency. He was the reason she was there. She looked down at her pouch that was packed with just a few things. Her heart ached as she thought about how she convinced Rufus to rethink his resignation, and yet here she is leaving. She had hoped to tell him goodbye that eve, but alas he was once again called away. He said he would return but she knew he wouldn't. She slowly stands up and sighs.

Well at least I was able to give him the note.

She thought to herself as she made her way down to the first floor. She turned around and took one last look at the place she had called home. Many times she left the realm in search for her husband. Once again she leaves, but this time not to search for Huma, but to search for herself. In a low voice with a single tear trailing down her cheek, she spoke softly as if in hopes her whisper would be carried to his ears.

"I am sorry that I must leave you now. I swear I shall be by your side but for now it must be in spirit. I did not lie, I just need to make peace with myself please forgive me."

With that said she turned around and walked out of the house a faded into the darkness of the eve.
