<strong>Location:</strong>Left Dorm<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Na'ima<br/><br/>It was nightfall of the first day at Redhurst.  Word was already spreading throughout the dorms on the "undead attack" down in the Gauntlet.  Although the teachers did not disclose the names of Nys, Na'ima, Melda, or Ellen, simple deduction of which classmates were "safe" during that period narrowed the list down to four.<br/><br/>By the time Na'ima made it back, she was barraged with a series of questions.<br/><br/>"Hey, were you there, you know, when it happened?"<br/><br/>"Were they zombies?  Skeletons?"<br/><br/>"Is it true that you trounced them?"<br/><br/>Arturon generated a ball of light above the pressing crowd, a clear signal for them to disperse lest they face demerits.<br/><br/>"Leave her alone!" he exclaimed.  "Do you understand what she's been through?"<br/><br/>Everyone backed away.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, Na'ima," he said.  "Professor Murrin tried his best, but eventually word slipped out.  Once we find the responsible party, we'll punish them appropriately.  Let's go somewhere more private."<br/><br/>The room Arturon led her to was a general-purpose area, with a table and cabinets by the wall.  One of the chairs was occupied by Ellen.  The door made a brief sucking sound around its edges once he closed it.<br/><br/>"Ellen tells me that she can help you," he said.  "Considering that she was with you during the incident, I trusted her word over the other students."<br/><br/>"Evening, Na'ima, I hope I didn't distract you from your schedule."<br/><br/>She offered her a seat.  "Want some coffee, something to drink?  Hmm, on that note, can you make me a cup, Arturon?  The cafeteria's still open."<br/><br/>"Certainly."  Arturon promptly left.<br/><br/>"I apologize for this, but I noticed that you're quite knowledgeable about necromancy," Ellen said.  "Don't worry, I noticed how you reacted down there.  I myself have someone close to me who didn't choose their connection, either."<br/><br/>She reached out to Na'ima and held her hands in her own.  "I can help you, as can others here.  You're not alone."
