Rena
Another dreamless rest.
It didn't seem to matter how long she kept her eyes closed, Rena felt just as tired as she had when she first plopped herself down onto the rusted gate. Nothing seemed real. It was as if she was in a lucid state of mind, and everything that had transpired was just another page in a fairy tale that she was reading. Of course, this didn't make any sense, since parts of her five senses were activated during this brief part of her life. Just a hazy memory that was tossed to the back of her mind.
At this point, Rena had no clue what she was going to do. Not only was she in unfamiliar territory, but it appeared as though she was missing fragments of her own identity. She "knew" who she was, but at the same time, she didn't know? It was an odd paradox, and one that she didn't want to dwell on or even think about.
"Are you injured?"
The half-elf almost jumped out of her seat when she heard the question. The fact that someone had managed to get this close without her noticing was a testament to just how withdrawn she was from the world around her. She was about to open her eyes and answer when something prompted her to stop. She didn't know what, but for some reason, she felt her skin crawl from the voice that she had heard.
"What are you doing outside of the shrine? All civilians were to stay inside the temple with Elder Haavi."
This one was speaking the human's universal native tongue. Rena couldn't explain why, but her soul was retching with absolute disgust. Judging from the way he initially spoke to her, it seemed as though either he didn't recognize her, or they were mere strangers. Still, why...
A sharp tinge of a memory surfaced, one where bits and pieces of what appeared to be an angry mob inside of a coliseum and a single prisoner...?
Rena felt the stranger lift her up onto her feet as she groggily opened her eyes and stared at the human in front of her. At first, she said nothing as she merely looked at this being with a soft expression on her face. There wasn't anything that stood out or was unique that stood out to her about this one. She knew that as soon as she turned around and walked away, then whoever this human was would just be another faceless entity within within her memory databank.
Still, she decided to be cautious with this one and after a few more minutes, finally decided to answer.
"Thank tye hilde, Care- vamme ore me Ni am faila an moriquende" Rena responded in a soft tone, purposely using a more archaic version of the Elvish language. She still wasn't sure why she felt a surge of distrust and acrimony bubble up to her chest, but it was more than enough for her to keep herself at a distance.
The half-elf took a glance around and decided to keep her distance away from the humans and slowly move into another direction. Hopefully, she would be able to avoid any external conflicts, calm the internal conundrum, and find some sort of clue as to where she was and perhaps what she was doing here.
