Nadia had been escorted back into the keep, she sat impatiently with Ka'rok by her side among all the other women and children. She was mad that she had been ordered to come back here to wait, but even more worried about Zaos. She kept thinking about his current condition. The sounds of the orcs outside echoed through the keep. She was shaking slightly. Ka'rok pressed his muzzle to her trying to comfort her. The sounds of the battle beginning could be heard. After a few minutes she loses her patience and stands, holding her bow in one hand and clenching the other she walks toward the couple of guards at the doors. "Let me out. Now." She demands. "We were ordered to keep you here. Once these doors closed they stay closed." One of the guards says in a stern voice. Nadia narrows her eyes slightly and clenches her fists tighter. "This keep is under attack, you need as many allies as you can. Now let me go." The guards keep their stance, not moving. Ka'rok walks up next to her, emitting a low growl. "Nadia-" he begins but she cuts him off, "No I will not just sit here when there are those I care for out there who may need help." She looks back to the guards, keeping her gaze on them. "We are only following orders." One states. "If you want to keep me in here, you're going to have to kill me." The guards look to each other and hesitate but one nods to her, "As you wish. But once you are out there and these doors are closed, they will stay that way." She nods at him. He looks to the other guard and they go to open the doors, "Be quick!" One shouts and Nadia hurries outside, Ka'rok behind her. Seconds later she heard the doors as they closed and locked shut. Ka'rok leans down as she pulls herself up, he uses his muzzle to help her by pushing her up. "Rima Sii'!" (Run now) she commands and he runs along the stone keep heading into the battle.
