The next few days passed without much event. Mostly just me hiding from Elva, she was watching me like a hawk. We soon arrived at the Varden. We were greeted by a few people. One walked towards me and I could tell by instinct that he was looking at me.
"Your blind, you wouldn't be much help in a battle and we can't even trust you." he said. It was a simple fact to him but I am determined to prove him wrong.
"I have beaten many of the empire's guards and have battled on equal with his most trusted human guards despite my blindness. I can handle myself quite well without your help, I only wish to be of help to defeat bro-" I stopped myself myself in mid-sentence, "the emperor." I finished. If they found out I was the emperor's sister they'd never let me in, besides, I gave up my title as princess the moment I joined Azof and Elva on their journey.
"Fine, but we must still probe your mind" he answered. I nodded and let my mental guard down around all but my old title and family. I felt the pain of someone probing into my mind.
"ALL of your defenses!" he yelled at me. I sighed and let down my last chance. I heard him gasp. He knew it.
You're....you're! he started mentally
You've got a problem with it butthead? I heard her sneer.
Stay out of this Akane! I whined. The man seemed even more surprised at the second voice in my head.
"Get lady Vanessa!" He called, "Hurry!" The other men obediently obeyed and with in minutes a very honorable presence entered the room. The leader of the Varden was here.
