Nadia looks at his now uncovered face, and then to the cloth that he held in front of her. The symbol was all too familiar to her. "That symbol belongs to an Uruk-hai general, I do not know his name... But half of his face is badly damaged..." She trailed off as her eyes glazed over, and she felt her breathing becoming irregular as memories came back to her. This was the only one who she had not been able to kill.
~Flashback~
The night sky glazed over with orange from the fires of a burning human village. Ashes, smoke, and flames filled the air and sky. Te corpses of humans scattered the grounds, blood stained the soil. Screams could be heard echoing in the village as a band of Uruk-hai slaughtered the villagers one by one. Nadia was being dragged by her wrist by a young man. They hunkered down avoiding being seen by any of the Orc. The man quickly led Nadia out of the village and in the opening of the forest. "Go now, Nadia! Hurry!" He ordered. "No, Vanos! I won't leave without you! Do not go back, you will be killed!" She begged. "I have to go back for my brother I will not leave him!" He shouted. Go now. Hide and I will catch up with you." He cupped her face trying to calm her. He gave her a small reassuring smile while lightly stroking her cheek with his thumb. She was crying and gazed back into his eyes as she nodded. He let go of her and turned back, running back into the chaos with his sword drawn. She watched him in fear. She ha promised she would run, but she could not and would not just leave him alone. She was still weak from injuries she had gotten a couple of weeks before. But she took off towards the massacre. She took A stray sword from the body of a dead man, and was soon met with a menacing foe - she blocked the strikes thrown at her and stabbed him in the chest as she continued to look for the man she had fallen in love with, who had saved her and given her a place that had felt like home after years of being alone. Her injuries were causing her great pain and she clutched her side as she dropped to one knee, gasping from the pain. then she looked up and she could see him in the distance mounted on a horse fighting off one of the Uruk-hai. He had Killed his foe and he suddenly met eyes with Nadia, his eyes grew wide as he prodded his horse and rushed to her. He stopped directly in front of her and extended his hand "Nadia, give me your hand!" He shouted, but as soon as she did his chest was struck with an arrow, Nadia gasped and screamed "No!!" His horse raised on its back legs and he fell backwards and off his horse to the ground. Nadia quickly crawled to his side, and held him in her arms as she cried. He was still alive but barely. "You shouldn't have come back.." He choked and coughed a blood ran down his mouth. "I had to..." She cried. "You're going to be alright..." She grunted as she grasped him and tried to pull him up, barely dragging him back and out of the destroyed village. Suddenly she too was struck by an arrow in her left shoulder. She flinched from the shot in shock, and dropped Vanos as she fell on her back by his side. Both of them were still alive. At the moment. Soon Nadia could see a large figure coming their way holding a bow. When he was close enough she could see from the light of the flames it was a Uruk-hai who ha a face that was badly disfigured on one side... She glared in anger. "A she elf?" He growled in his deep voice. "In a human village?" He chuckled darkly. He approached her, as he drew a dagger from his side. Suddenly Vanos snapped "Don't you touch her! You get away from--" but he was cut off as the half faced beast jammed his blade directly into his stomach as he roared. Nadia's eyes widened and she screamed in anger. Vanos gargled blood and in seconds the life faded from his eyes. Nadia lunged up at him with all her might but he struck her in the face with his balled fist. She fell back on the ground half unconscious. It was then he dug his blade into Vanos's chest as he dug out his heart, devouring it a second later. Nadia watched this as she was still barely conscious before her eyes slowly closed and the darkness took over.

Nadia felt her chest rise and fall harshly. And she quickly looked Way from Zaos. "Why Are you looking for him?" She asked slowly.
