Ahnasha shifted uncomfortably upon the mention of Mephala. She didn't like to think about that encounter in Vos, but it was hard to forget. "I don't know. It is possible that she was lying. She is the webspinner, after all, she certainly enjoys causing strife through deceit. There also could be a Breton out there that might offer an easier way learning how to do it myself. Although...Orskan didn't say that this tome would [i]teach[/i] me how to extend my life. He said it would set me on that path. I am assuming it is not something that is easy to learn, so it could be that I will need more knowledge beyond this tome. A Breton might make that offer. I don't know, it is hard to say, but I don't want to give up on trying this. Even if this tome doesn't have everything I need, I have to start somewhere."

Kaleeth and Janius had been training hard throughout the day, so quite understandably, she was exhausted when it came time to return to their rooms. She had her new mace and shield, which looked strong enough to last at least through the fight. She put them away at the foot of the bed, then laid down on her back, still in her armor. She did not feel great about the fight they were heading into, nor did she feel she was really ready, but she wasn't quite as hopeless as before. She wasn't going to break down crying about her impending doom, because at least now she knew she had some kind of advantage working for her. Even if she wasn't that well trained, she could physically overpower just about anyone. Plus, she could always turn and let her beast spirit fight, though she wanted to avoid that if at all possible. "Are you afraid?" She asked Janius suddenly.
