       [ Market - Central ]
       -- In the grand Market of WW where you can find most anything
       your heart desires.
       Vendors have tables, booths and carts to sell their wares--
       says to ALL: In the Distance was a gathering of entertainers...
       some in Masks some Just with there faces painted... I moved over
       towards where they were.... and stopped, looking, watching... a
       slight smile as They began there act....some swallowed
       fire...shoving that stick of flames so far down there throats it
       almost made Me gag just watching... I thought them to be fools..
       who would use fire for such.....but I guess that is why they are
       called entertainers.... I listed to the crowd as They gathered
       to encourage these people to tempt fate...mind you I could Not
       Move waiting to see what would happen next
       ....was Then I saw that face... the face from my dream.....and I
       stepped Back into the shadows and watched....not moving Just
       watching as He moved in the crowd towards me
       My heart began to beat faster as I saw the silk curtain like
       cape sway with His every step... my eyes lowered to look at the
       hypnotic sway...and the steps that seemed to glide over the
       surface of those cobblestones....Black boots of Leather gripping
       at each calve and coated his flesh till they reached his
       knees...the red of his Leathers standing out from under That
       cape...That belt...I remembered That belt .. but was not sure
       where I had seen it...A tunic of white gripped at his chest and
       There at his neck The huge black tie that held that Cape to his
       torso
       i was frozen in a place as my eyes slowly moved up to look at
       the face..... he was right there in My shadow.... Looking back
       at me....His beady eyes stared through the hideous mask...A mask
       a face with a huge beak for a nose...My chin lifted slightly to
       Meet the stare of those eyes....soft slow breaths escaped my
       nostrils ... slowly as If I was to scared to take in His
       breath...His face moved closer to Me the Beak almost touching my
       cheek...and whispered words escaped his lips....... as I pulled
       away and moved back further into the shadows... a Growl was
       offered in return to His whisper.. and I turned and made way
       away from Such.....Not Looking back ..uncertain if it would
       follow

       [ Cobblestone Street - Somewhere in White Water ]
       --Somewhere on one of many cobblestone streets that weave
       through the city--
       says to ALL:
       I kept walking.. My boots slapping on the slick, wet cobblestone
       paths. I didn’t look back . I knew . Besides, I could tell from
       the sharp accent and mismatched diction that I didn’t want
       whatever He was selling.
       Looking ahead I saw the Guards along the side Of The paths.. and
       I began to now finally breath slower . There was a strong smell
       of spice and vegetables coming from back in the Markets, along
       with the scent of what happened when body sweat met wool.
       In the blackness sweeping out over The bridge
       ...faces lightened By the lanterns lined The path over The
       bridge...these faces belonged to the many sellers who sat with
       goods and oil filled Lanterns ...The light carved there tiny red
       faces from the dark..visible were the Chins, Dimples cheekbones
       and eyes..everything else blocked out with the darkness as if
       the light was the only thing that knew what made These people
       human

       [ Bridges in the City ]
       -- on one of many bridges that are found around the City --
       says to ALL:
       My hands gripped at the Bridge railing .. and my eyes turned to
       study those I had come to know.. I had come to capture lyricism
       of these merchants that lined these paths, That led from the
       Market areas...
       I glanced to the direction from which I had come...at the well
       lit cobblestone path...then I looked to where The bridge
       descended to the far side of darkness...neither lanterns Or
       light made a pathway...where a place in daylight I had seen a
       body face down on the cobblestones being removed by guards...I
       headed there...As I reached the far end of the bridge
       ... I turned ..My direction changed...the absence of people ,
       sounds quickened my pace..
       I headed for the lit area directly under the center of the
       bridge..there was enough light to see shapes ahead in the
       darkness...A Man running...crossing the path and turning towards
       me...He shouted..making noise I had no doubt were made with
       intention to scare me...
       He stopped 20 meters away and went quiet...like a predator
       focusing before an attack..Breathing slowly through my mouth..my
       pulse pounding in my throat...I began to walk straight towards
       him..he was close enough to run me down if I fled..and as I
       moved forward I tried to project and Utter lack of fear, he
       stood there Blocking the Path..
       I fought My feet and moved forward...

       [ Vosk Docks - South ]
       -- Working on the docks of White Water or on a vessel that is
       docked there. Cargo is being unloaded and loaded.
       Its very busy here with people and goods arrivings and departing
       White Water --
       says to ALL:
       Two steps before I reached this Man another Man jammed his Arm
       out to connect with the Wooden rib of the Bridge..blocking My
       path at My neck... My hand Lifted quickly to defend Myself was
       then I head the voice of one of my Crew...
       a Tall ugly Torvie,....next to me he looked about 8ft...but that
       would Be slightly exaggerated...if I could have collapsed right
       at That moment I would have... But I didn't I took every ounce
       of strength to step Back...as Bubber stepped between Myself and
       the Man of the darkness...His hand Rested on the Axe that swung
       slowly in front of him
       "Best you make you Way from here for the Lady needs to pass"
       spoken with a growl of anger ..
       and as directed the man did just That... and turned to head in
       another direction...I finally took in a Deep breath to fill the
       ache My lungs now felt from lack of air.. We both moved on
       towards The docks.. without stopping without turning..I fought
       the Urge to run..the urge to look back over My shoulder..I kept
       my ears cocked for the sounds of footsteps of any other sounds
       That could be an attack...I reached the Lights of the
       docks...Bubba said Little but walked with me to The "Lady
       Nyah....[/center]
