[Merci d'Rue]

---

In the dark stillness of the town Merci reveled in the deadly calm. Visitors from other towns passed thru unabated noting the silence and scarcity of the town.

In the darkness it festered and Merci took every care to lay low, the whole town of Umbra did not want her secrets revealed. This was a fragile time in its growth, their dark secret. They did not wish interference from forces of light. In fact they wished to be unseen and unheard. Yet silence does not mean it is not there it means only that you can not hear the distant ringing of their swords, the splatters of blood as they hit the ground. It is masked in silence for a purpose.

They had spent many evenings working hard, but quietly, they were not given to reveling much in their own tavern leaving that to the passing tourist. They had work to do, preparations to make.

Like a child to her the secret had become but she was its child, feeding the hunger it called to her constantly with. Feeding the needs of this newborn whilst it drained upon Sosaria, while it festered like a cesspool. It was she and Ceinwyns job and every Umbrans, to protect it, strengthen it and at times become part of it.....
