Once again the visit to Umbra proved a waste of time. Naissia had asked all around the city, giving the description of Rufus to them. She had hoped someone would have seen him....or something. She even offered gold, in case a golden key was needed to unlock some of those lips. Still not one word came that she wanted to hear. She kicked a skull at one of the wells in town, and watched it fall into what seemed like the abyss.

"Damnit! There has to be some clue..something."

She then remembered something. During one of their talks, he mentioned the Well of Souls..or something along those lines. She went about and started to ask about that. Most kept their mouths shut, but she finally found one that informed her of where it was. She thanked them, tossed some coin his way and got on her horse and went in the direction of the well. When she came to it, she looked around to ensure noone else was around guarding it. She then slipped in squinting her eyes to adjust to the lighting. She looked around and did not find one single person. Her anger building up...she got back on her horse and just rode off. The not knowing was tearing her up inside. Her heartached as much as it did when she lost Huma. When she came to her senses, she found herself in a cave facing three earth elementals and one paragon. She drew out her axe and started to take her frustration out on them. She slashed them left and right. The adreline and her emotional state made her oblivious to her present state. She did not realize she was wounded. It wasn't still the cave started to grow darker from the blood loss that she finally collapsed ontop of her horse. Her horse quickly rode out of the cave avoiding the arrows flying their way. When she awoke, she found herself at Rufus home in the garden area. A tear rolled down her cheek as the blood seeped from her wounds. The loss of her father...her husband..her son and now..Rufus was too much. She could have stopped each of them but she failed. She failed them all. She clunched the grass under her as a sharp pain shot through her body and her heart.

"Where are you Rufus?"

She cried out before unconsiousness took her again.
