Connie the Roman Governor of Judea had just finished her work for the day and retired to her quarters in the Governors Palice to rest and relax,she lay on her bed relaxing when she heard a noise near the window...she looked and saw a small figure standing in the shadows.
"Who is there?"she asked.
"Someone who wishes to honor you!"Connie sat up on her bed and staired at the dark figure.
"Come into the light so I can see you!"She denanded. The figure then stepped out of the darkness,it was a girl about five feet tall wearing a dark cloak and hood,the girl then knelt before governor Connie.The governor looked down at the girl who"s face was hidden by the cloak,the governor extended her hand to the girl who then took the governor's hand into hers and kissed her ring.
"What is your name,child?"Connie asked.
"I am called Erin,and I have come a long way to pay honor to you!"
"Remove your hood child so I may see your face."The girl then removed the hood to reveal her face,the governor saw that it was a young elfgirl about 18 years old with pointed ears and red hair with blue eyes.
"Who are you child?"The elfgirl looked at the governor
"Do you not recognize your own daughter,mother?"she asked.Connie was stuned,she gasped in shock.
"No,it can't be!"she said.
"It can't be yet here I am!"Erin replied.The governor tried to compose herself,she was shocked to see the daughter that she gave up 18 years ago,Connie tried to smile.
"You are looking well my dear...I...I am surprised to see you after all these years."Erin then stood before the governor."You need not pretend with me mother,I know why you abandoned me whe I was a baby!"Erin looked around the beautiful living quarters."You have done well for yourself mother...I see the tax payers money has been spent well."Still trying to recover from the shock of seeing her daughter,Connie tried to explane."Erin,you must try to understand..."
"I understand mother...you had to hide me...if any one discoverd that you had a half elf child it would ruin your career in the roman goverment...so you gave me to the elf's in Ireland to raise as their own...I would be far away from you and the empire and your career in the roman goverment would be safe...now you are the governor of Judea and a close personal "friend" of the emperior...and now I hear you are up for promotion to the rank of roman senator."Still in some shock Connie looked at Erin and asked "Erin why are you here...why have you left Ireland to come here now?"Erin turned and looked at the governor,her blue eyes pearcing Connie like two sharp daggers.
"I am here to warn you my lord Governor...withdraw your leagons and give the people their freedom,or face war!"Connie looked at Erin,her expression turned hard."Who are you to make threats agenst the empire?"
"Who are you to hold these people in bondage?"
"I am the governor of Judea,and I am also the hand of Caesar ready to crush all who oppose his authority!" Erin then drew her sword and pointed it at her governor mother,which made her step back and take pause."I warn you mother,for every harm the empire does to these people I will visit it back on you ten fold!" Connie was shocked but at the same time she admired Erin's bravery.
"I should call the guards and have you arrested for speaking treason!"
"That would be a mistake mother...the guards would ask you questions about me questions you can not afford to anwser."Erin then moved quickly to the window,she then looked back at her governor and said "You have my warning mother!"
"Erin,you can not win...if you are captured I will have no choice but to order your death...you will be crucified!" Erin smiled and put her sword back in its sheth.
"Erin,I am your mother andI am also the right hand of the emperior,you are eather for me or agenst me...you must choose!"
"If that is the choice....then I am agenst you!"she replied. Erin then repeled down a rope and mounted her horse and quickly rode off into the night.
"Who is there?"she asked.
"Someone who wishes to honor you!"Connie sat up on her bed and staired at the dark figure.
