Around 6 months ago had her location found by Alaric's hunters. Got wind of it before their attack, and so, to keep her group safe, fled in the middle of the night, without Imja. Hid and fought as well as she could but ultimately was outnumbered and tired out, and taken to the Firebrands castle. The immediate screams and haunting wails had not been forgotten. Brought in front of him, and feared the moment he dismissed his guards to allow him privacy with her. The conversation that followed went exactly how she expected, and exactly how she feared. Reminded of the trade they had mutually promised on so many years ago, despite Lavenders ability to accept the fate of her unborn and not wish to bring them back unceremoniously. Told him of it, that she did not need the trade anymore and so did not wish for his assistance. Informed, for lack of terms, that he is still owed his part since HE did not turn back their agreement. With a certain comment from Alaric, Lavender spit in his face. Something she did not think about beforehand, something she had never done before. His comment struck something deep and tender beneath the deepest parts of her heart, and she did not even have time to correct her actions before they were unleashed. Slapped for this, and was held to a room for a few days without visitors or that of food or water. Found the former to be the most difficult to deal with, after years of constant companionship.

Finally was given a guard that would keep constant eyes on her. Struck up a friendship with the man, though she did not delude herself to believe it was genuine and true. Hoped for it, but did not count on it. Found that her denials and fights caused only further isolation, and so learned how to play Alaric in a way for her advantage. Went along with his wants and delusions, letting him believe she was going soft at the idea of their marriage and commitment. When she felt the time was right, begged him to allow her to visit her group and check in on her soulmate (Imja). Denied the request, though could tell he took a couple of seconds to give her the answer. She was slowly chipping away at him. Came to a compromise some days later when the subject was broached again. She would be given access to visit the forest, but no other place. Accepted readily, though told she would be watched like a hawk (that she was not surprised about). With Lavender and Firebrands wedding around the corner, desperate to find the answer to either stop him or rid his memory of her permanently.

September 14th, 2024
A rather emotionally traumatizing event that happened some weeks ago hit harder than she thought it would, considering others may view it as unimportant or not worth the mind. Promised herself that it would not drown her and she would stay in forest, but found herself less and less inclined to revisit until lately. Hurt by memories and a particular spot within the Endless, finds it easy to avoid the spot, but not the memory. Busying herself, but finding it difficult with the quiet.
