She returned with the few meger things she owned and carried them up to the small room at the back of the hall. The dwarf that had been staying there so long ago had left some of his things strewn around the room. She looked around and began to pick things up. She put them in an empty crate and carried them to the store room on the next floor down.

Tears streamed down her face as she worked. She had hoped working would take her mind off of the evening. It was supposed to be a party...It was supposed to be a wonderful night with the man that she loved and adored. He had been away so long... She thought sure he would alay her fears...that he would ask her to be his wife.

She could not believe what happened. His obsession was more to him than their love. Her sholders shuddered as she faught back the tears. Her life was over...she just knew it.

She tried to hold back the sobs as she began to organize the items in the crate she had brought back to the Lodge from Nico's house. She could not live there and know that he cared more for finding the souls of his long lost guild mates than for the hopes of a future together with her. He was her life but his life was not her at all. It was consumed with searching for the dead ghosts of the past. There was no future for her in that picture.

She folded some clothing and placed it in the armoire and she turned back to the crate. She lifted a piece of clothing from it. She heald it up and realized that it was not hers. It was a cloke of Nico's. She clutched it close to her as her knees went weak. She slid along the edge of the bed colapsing to the floor. She breathed in his scent deeply as she allowed herself to finally release the anguished sobs of her broken heart. Somewhere in the night she fell asleep there, wrapped in all that was left of her love and her life.

Victory...

Finally, she was his. He could tell by the way she was sobbing in lovers cloak that he was either dead, or he had finally given up on her. Death would create a more difficult situation, so Corzan could only hope that was not the case.

Now, my dear, we can be together.

Hopping from a nearby rooftop to the Lodge's balcony, Corzan slowly opened the door to the third story rooms. Slowly, silently, he opened the door to Maggy's room, and stood next to her. He felt, in a way, guilty. Shrugging off this feeling, Corzan leaned down, and gently picked up Maggy, almost cradling her in his arms.

The floor is not for you, my dear. Tonight, you will rest well, undisturbed.

Placing her onto the soft bed, Corzan took Nico's cloak from Maggy's grasp, and replaced it with the bed sheets. Hanging it on a nearby chair, Corzan slowly leaned down over Maggy, and kissed her gently on her soft lips.

Perhaps soon you shall be awake when we experience this, together...

Silently walking out of the room, Corzan lept from the small balcony onto a nearby rooftop, and dissapeared into the night.

Waking up slowly, she touched her lips as if something were there. She peared around in the half darkness of the moonlit room.

She saw the cloak draped over the chair. Tears filled her eyes as she stroked it and then settled back against the pillows. It dawned on her that she didn't remember getting into the bed but she didn't suspect she had been moved.

She drew her knees up to her wrapping her arms around them as she thought about what had happened. Now what was she going to do. She tried to shake off the feelings of loss. She started making some plans to burry herself in her work at the Lodge. She would redecorate and do some advertising for boarders again.

She lit a candle and used the quill and inkwell. She wrote some things down on the paper near the bed. Though she tried she could not push the sadness out of her heart. She lay back on the pillows, blowing out the candle and once again fell asleep as tears streemed down her cheeks.
