You see a woman tending to her campsite. She appears to be gathering her belongings as if to be leaving soon, and although she is preoccupied with this task, she does not seem surprised by your sudden arrival. You then realize that she has obviously been expecting you. <pb>"You've made it! I knew that you would eventually locate me if I threw some lures into the water. And not a moment too soon, I should say!" <pb>She pauses, then smiles as she sees a confused look upon your face. "Do you not remember me?"

"Yes <en>, of course I remember you!"
"Good, then there is no reason for me to cover past events and we can discuss why I am here, and more importantly, you need to understand how you got here."

"No, I do not remember you. We've met before?"
"I once lived in Tangletree Forest, in Thaermore. We met a few years ago before that province fell. You came to me asking about a pendant that you had in your possession, and due to the circumstances of that meeting, I was unable to tell you the entire truth about myself." <pb>"For the purposes of keeping your mind clear of any past memories, I acted as though we were complete strangers. In actuality, we had previously met. You yourself had set up our first meeting and I was awaiting you to bring me that pendant to my house so that I could guide you to the next part of your journey. This was the plan set forth between you and our common friend, Erubor, before you erased your own memory."

"Can you go over everything again?"
<en> shakes her head. "There is no reason for me to repeat everything I have told you. All that you need to continue forward is in the letter that Erubor wrote you." <pb>"I must leave immediately to investigate rumors of Goblin hordes in the east, and then I will report back to Erubor. Safe travels to you, <pn>."

"There seems to be so much to my past I don't remember."
"That would be the lasting effect of the serum you drank which destroyed your memories. The enemy has the ability to look into the minds of others, and therefore memories can be dangerous to possess. He uses your memories to track you, to anticipate where you are going and what you are doing. By erasing your memories you have evaded The One for several years now." <pb>"But now you are here in Wylderan, and in order for us to move forward, you need to understand how you got here."

"So how did I get here?"
"A man named Korren, a man you trusted, sent you to Talushorn on a mission to destroy two of the Crux stones. It was a quest that was meant to stop The One from gaining all four Crux, and while Korren's intentions were initially pure, his plan was misguided. Erubor believes Korren was under the influence of The One, for why would he send you into the house of the enemy with the very object they sought? The Taurax army is 10,000 strong; did you not think it was odd that you walked into the Tower of Talushorn with such little resistance? It was exactly what the enemy had wanted. However, The One did not expect that in his attempt to destroy you, you would be teleported so far away with the Crux he so desperately seeks."

"I don't remember being teleported."
"When you were teleported from Talushorn, it was not just distance that you traveled, but time as well." Lilith notices the puzzled look upon your face. "You heard me correctly, <pn>. Although you may feel as though you were standing in Talushorn just a few days past, that event actually happened over six months ago. The blast from the Crux was so violent it cast you forward in time. Our good friend Erubor estimated the time and place you would likely emerge, and I was sent out ahead of your arrival to locate you. So here I am."

"Tell me what you know of Erubor. How do you know him?"
"Erubor is leading the war against The One, now that Korren is gone. He is the head of the guild 'Crius Vindica' whose sole purpose is to prevent the four Crux stones from uniting, and he is a good friend to both of us. You might assume that I am a member of Crius Vindica as well, but I am not. My past is of a less honorable notoriety. I was a 'Shadow Tracker', and I was one of the best." <pb>"You see, if someone wanted an item recovered or a person found, they came to me. My methods of tracking and recovery were not always ethical and rarely legal, but I got the job done." <pb>"And that is how I came to know Erubor. Many years ago he hired me to recover several antiquities that were stolen from Shadowmirk, and ever since we have been good friends. He is like a grandfather to me, and I trust few others as much as I trust him. When he asked for my help in locating you, I did not hesitate. I will do everything I can to support Erubor's efforts."

"So what are we supposed to do now?"
"That is between Erubor and you. His only quest for me was to give you this letter once I located you. It contains information that you will need in order to continue from here. He demanded that I not read the letter, as the information within may hasten the enemy's search for you and the Crux you now hold. That is all I know; I have no further instructions for you. I am heading back to the east to investigate the reports of Goblins seen in Wylderan, after which I will report to Erubor." <pb><en> hands you a letter with a secured wax seal, then turns away and continues gathering her supplies together. "Hurry now, it is time we part ways. Perhaps our paths will cross again soon."
