<div align="center">Cassandra</div><br/>Cassandra listened to the women's tale deciding rather or not to trust her. Her attention was divided between her and the other activities of the inn.She was still very nervous, and looked as if she was ready to bolt at any time. As she listened to her story, and started taking sips of the ale she started to calm a little. She decided until something might happen to say other wise, she would believe her.She didn't have much choice, she needed someone who knew their way around.<br/><br/>" My crime..." She ponder as she took another sip of Ale.  " Is that I wanted freedom...I was conscripted into the tower at the age of five.I spent most of my life in that prison of a tower.  The only ones who get to go outside are the elders are others that they are sure they have on a short lease. Sadly that wasn't me. " She paused again and looked around the inn. " I hold the tower no ill will, they helped me get powerful. I am very powerful, If you could see what the cloak was hiding." She smiled slightly at the ranking she had made at the tower. " runes hurt a lot by the way, sadist bastards, was always hold up in my room for days after they added another one."<br/><br/>Cassandra paused again pondering over rather to tell her about the stone or not. The tower had taken it on themselves to collect all the stones sense they were magical in nature, they thought they belonged there. The stone of Movement had been all they had managed to find when she stole it.  " I just began to think there must be more then learning spells and histories, so one day I find an opportunity to escape and I did so.  The tower doesn't take to kindly to people running away though, They have seers who can sense if I use my magic. So its best if I don't use any. If I get discovered as a mage here I'll get run off or killed, If the tower finds me. They don't kill their own, they will drag me back to that tower, and...." She shivered at just the thought of it. " I don't even want to think of what will happen."<br/><br/>" I decided Ai was my best bet. Since it is where all the righteous magic hating priest like to live. I didn't think they would want to start a fight here ...but its a lot bigger then I had expected."<br/>
