Having watched their Manor house for sometime now,it was easy for him to figure out their patten.She would go to the Arena,home then to her Shipyard,this will be real easy.Insted of Killing Huma he would take what he hoped meant the most to Huma.So all that need to be done was figure out when and where.He watched her all day she went to the Arena,he followed at a safe distance.He had all ready cased to Inn and he know she would be at the bar.Hegave her some time in the inn to get settled then making his way to the window that was near the Bar.He looked through it and could see her sitting there talking and having a drink as she always did.The Arena was full too,that was good he wanted them to see this so word would get back to Huma his wife was gone. After taking her and tieing Aja up StormShadow goes back to The Manor house.Putting a note on an arrow he takes aim at their bedroom window and lets the arrow fly. Huma, I thank thee for telling me that ye wife was a Ruthless it gave me what I needed to know.I told ye I was watching her and all ye could say was "Yea,.......so..I had better stay away from her ". ye are a bigger fool then I though my friend and If she is a better fighter then thee then my job here in Rydin is most done. Stormshadow He makes his way out of the city and back to Were he is keeping Aja.She will be asleep for some time from the poison that was on the Throwing Star.StromShadow turns his attentions to the other job he has here and starts going about it..........
I have her Huma

::Aja wakes up, groggy and confused. Her head pounding like a bass drum at a parade. She looks around the dimly lighted room and tries to sit up, only to find she can't.
"What in the name of Hades is going on?" she mutters and looks to see she is tied down to the bed. Every movement makes her wish she hadn't done that. Aja lays still and recalls the last thing she remembered seeing. 'The arena, Prin, Gnort, Mith..who else?' her groggy mind trying to pull the bits together '...Lexi, Var...some kid and his mother...Gimm was there but left...the crash, the man...who is he..people yellin...something hit my
arm....black. Who was that man..his face..hidden..' Aja could think no more her body felt like lead and her mind was like oatmeal. As she went black again she thought of Huma and what he was gonna do when he found out.::
((Add in a bit of your own about the story if you like...Remember it's not a post. Just play along and have some fun))

::Aja wakes up again, what could be hours later from the previous time. Hoping it was a nightmare she looks around, a candle burns on the table across the room and a tray of food sits by it. 'Guess I wasn't dreamin.' Aja finds she's no longer tied to the bed and gingerly sets her feet on the floor as her head is still pounding. Aja cautiously moves her head looking around the room. A bed, the table, a chair, a door she assumes the leads out, and one
towards the back of the room. Cafefully she gets up and opens the door. Just a bathroom. Shutting the door she looks along one of the walls and sees a small window. 'I wonder if I can fit though that?' Aja steps closer and examins the window. 'I'm pretty small but that looks like it's a bit tight.' she sighed. 'I'll try it in a while.' Aja leaned against the wall feeling as if her head would explode right off her shoulders. 'Oy, when I get my hands
on that guy, he's gonna wish he'd died as a child.' Aja sank into the chair and looked at the tray. Not really hungry, although the stew looked good. She tentatively sipped the contents of the cup. Tea, the flavor recognizable from times Parker, her healer, had given her the same thing for her headaches. Puzzled she drank the tea knowing that it would help her, while trying to figure a way out of this mess. 'Surely Huma knows I'm gone and he's
looking for me. And the others...Maybe someone's looking.' sighing she started looking about the room for anything to help get her out of there.
"Who'd wanna kidnap me anyway? Serm's dead and I have no major enemies. Maybe a few people who aren't crazy about me...but they wouldn't kidnap me. And what kind of kidnapper gives medicine for a headache to his prisoner? This makes no sense." Aja searched under the bed for anything to use to get out of there, while trying to piece together the motives.

::Rico's dim blue eyes, watched Parker and Alon all morning, pace around the yards trying to make sure everything ran as it always did. The mood over the yards this day was grim indeed. How could anyone think of anything else but Aja being gone? Their leader and faithful friend taken right out of the arena she loved so much. Rico cursed for the hundreth time and kicked the stack of pallets. Why hadn't she listened and taken a guard with her? With the
threats to Huma from whoever lurking overhead and one that had mentioned her specifically, but being the stubborn person she had always been, she paid no heed and continued about the daily routine as if nothing was wrong. He ran a hand through his black hair and tried to pull himself together. For her, the crew, and himself.
Rico had sent for the best trackers he knew of, but they wouldn't be here till nightfall at best. Restlessness had taken over and he found himself doing busywork just to keep from going crazy. Alon passed by him, the silent stare from the usually cheerful man, said volumes about the sadness he felt. And Parker, who never spoke much anyway, was moving about his garden in the back of the office, like a spector. Rico finished the last of the tasks
that needed to be done and filed anything that he could find..he looked around and laughed. Aja had meant to get this place cleaned up, funny that it should be done because she's gone.

::Aja heard the footsteps in the hall. Faint, but there. Whoever it was, was in for one hell of a surprise if he walked through that door. She poised ready by the door holding one of the support beams from the bed. He arm was gonna go about midway of the suspected height of the man for fear that she miscalculated his height and would somehow miss. The footsteps paused outside the door and Aja held her breath. Without much noise the doorknob turned
and opened slowly.
"Aja?" the familar voice made her pause mid-swing.
"Rico?" Aja peeked through the crack of the open door and saw the familar blue eyes staring back at her.
"What the ...?" Rico looked at the board and grinned at her. "Defending yourself?"
"You know it." Aja smiled wryly at the choice of weapons. "It works on short notice."
"This might work better." Rico handed her her sword and was rewarded with her smile.
"You are fantastic, remind me to give ya a raise." Aja whispered happily "Now,lets get out of here." Rico looked down the hall and nodded.
"You got it, boss." he smiled happy to see she was still in one piece and fiesty as ever.
The pair stole down the castle halls silently, Rico led with sword drawn, Aja following close behind looking behind them periodically. Aja got the feeling of being watched but shook it off as nerves and a whole lot of relief to be getting out of there.
Once outside, she mounted up and smiled at Rico.
"Leave it to you to come to the rescue."
"I didn't do it alone."
"No?"
"Long story, boss. Tell ya about it on the way." Aja nodded as they rode away from the castle, all the while aware of eyes watching her. She looked back and could've sworn she saw a man walk back into the castle. Shruggin a bit she rode on, more than happy to be free.
