There was a lot of commotion as Nadja went to escape the disruption she had caused, looking to next capitalized on the confusion that was created from her attack. She had moved slyly to a nearby branch of a tall tree a distances away to keep an eye on the scene, looking to make her next move to find some more intel on the missing supplies and the missing soldiers. Taking a quick breath, there was a disturbance around her as someone came landing around, a stranger with a red outfit and some glasses, a strange accent and acting somewhat arrogant.

Who- . . . oh you were near by the rift? I have, I returned to my peoples in a compound near by, to recover and tell them of what we found. However upon returning, there was some goods and supplies stolen which I am now investigating. The Freehold don't have enough resources to search so I am taking it into my own hands.

Nadja turned back towards the camp she had invaded and taken the commanders out, as smoke continued to rise while the bandits around looked to try and put out the fire from the tent.

I dont have much time to chat now, but here, Ill pass you a private communication scroll, and once I have finished here I can get in touch with you, if you want to investigate these rights more. For now, sorry but I have other matters to attend to.

She rummaged through her bag tied to her back and pulled out a small tightly wound green scroll, tossing it down to the stranger.


You can call me Nadja, we can speak soon.

With that, she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Alucard sighed as he caught the scroll with his right hand making no other movement whatsoever.

The freehold.. sodeska.. well, have fun with the murdering.

He then returned to his platform and sailed onwards, heading further north-west.

This post marks the start of a mission:
-Silently infiltrate the cave from the map


Nadja, a skilled and enigmatic ninja, traversed the rugged terrain with silent footsteps, her obsidian eyes piercing through the darkness. The village of Mianmen had fallen under an ominous veil as supplies dwindled and soldiers vanished without a trace. Rumors of a malevolent force lurking in the shadows compelled Nadja to embark on a perilous journey, seeking the truth behind the disappearance of vital resources and the enigmatic fate that befell her fellow warriors. The air was thick with anticipation as Nadja delved deeper into the heart of the unknown, her determination a flickering flame in the inky abyss that surrounded her. Nadja's mission, bestowed upon her by the military Freehold, bore the weight of both duty and secrecy. As the moon cast an ethereal glow over the dense forest, she moved with unparalleled grace, her senses honed to detect the slightest disturbance in the nocturnal symphony. The enigmatic disappearance of soldiers and crucial supplies had plunged the village into a state of apprehension, prompting the Freehold to dispatch her as an opportunity to prove herself. Nadja's journey through the shadowed realm revealed a trail of subtle clues, leading her to a revelation as unsettling as the silent winds that whispered through the trees. The missing soldiers and supplies were not victims of happenstance; instead, they had fallen prey to a band of local raiders, few of them some kind of non-humans, whose intentions remained veiled in the obscurity of the night. Nadja's mission had just evolved into a perilous dance with adversaries who thrived in the darkness, setting the stage for a confrontation that would test both her skills and her commitment to the Freehold's cause.

With an unyielding determination, Nadja followed the thread of shadows to unveil the raider's lair—a foreboding cavern nestled within the heart of the rugged terrain. The cave's gaping maw seemed to devour the moonlight, and as Nadja approached, the sounds of hushed whispers and clinking weapons emanated from within. Her mission, now focused on this concealed den of adversaries, demanded a calculated approach. Studying the surroundings, Nadja discerned the rhythmic pattern of patrolling guards who served as the first line of defense for the raiders' clandestine stronghold. The cool breeze carried the scent of damp earth and anticipation as she poised herself for the imminent clash. Swift as the night itself, Nadja set her sights on the elusive shadows that prowled the periphery, knowing that the path to liberate the captured soldiers and reclaim the stolen supplies lay in silencing these sentinels of darkness. The dance of steel against steel awaited, and Nadja, the silent harbinger of justice, prepared to strike with the precision of a moonbeam cutting through the inky blackness.

That looks like the cave entrance, Ill need to enter and find the supplies and soldiers quietly. It'll be trouble if an alarm is raised . . .
She thought to herself

Nadja melded seamlessly with the shadows, her movements a symphony of silent grace as she approached the first unsuspecting guard. Cloaked in obsidian garb, she flowed like liquid night, her steps mere whispers against the cavern's earthen floor. The guard, shrouded in ignorance, stood vigilant, unaware of the impending shadow that loomed behind him.
With a cat-like swiftness, Nadja closed the distance, her nimble fingers unsheathing a thin, gleaming blade. The cold steel met the warmth of her palm as she pressed it against her victim's mouth, stifling any potential outcry. In a heartbeat, she executed a flawless ballet of precision, severing the connection between consciousness and the guard. His body slumped noiselessly to the ground, the cavernous silence enveloping the aftermath of her shadowy intervention.
Nadja's obsidian eyes glinted with resolve as she absorbed the stillness around her, acutely aware that this was but the first step in dismantling the raider's stronghold. The journey to liberate the captured soldiers and reclaim the stolen supplies had only just begun, and each silent step brought her closer to the heart of the enemy's lair.

That's one, I should have listened in to that conversation more to maybe hear how many guards they had . .

The cavern's hidden corners concealed more than just shadows, as Nadja detected the subtle movements of two guards stationed by the pilfered supplies. Their watchful eyes scanned the stolen goods, unaware of the silent predator closing in on them. With a calculated gaze, Nadja plotted her next move, ensuring her steps remained as elusive as the mysteries that surrounded her. Navigating the rocky terrain, she approached the duo with a feline grace, her eyes locked on their unsuspecting forms. The stolen supplies, an inadvertent testament to the raiders' nefarious deeds, served as a backdrop to the imminent confrontation. Nadja's fingers danced along the hilt of her blade, a silent prelude to the symphony of shadows about to unfold.

Two at once huh . .

In an ephemeral dance of swift strikes and seamless evasion, Nadja silenced the guards with the same efficient precision that defined her every movement. Bodies fell soundlessly to the cavern floor, and the stolen supplies, now liberated from the clutches of the enemy's watchful gaze, stood as a testament to Nadja's relentless pursuit of justice. The path forward lay clear, yet the echoes of the cavernous silence whispered a reminder that each step deeper into the raiders' lair would bring new challenges and tests of her prowess as a shadowy agent of retribution.

The labyrinthine tunnels beneath the raider's cave system unfolded like a subterranean puzzle, and Nadja, undeterred by the darkness that clung to the walls like a secret, moved with silent determination. The stolen supplies, vital to the survival of the village and its soldiers, beckoned her forward. As she ventured deeper into the convoluted passages, a lone guard patrolling the tunnels crossed her path. Nadja's eyes glinted with a calculating intensity, her instincts sharpened by the clandestine dance of shadows. Swift as a striking serpent, she closed the distance, her blade poised for the inevitable confrontation.
The guard, oblivious to the imminent threat, became a mere puppet in the hands of fate. Nadja's blade, an extension of her will, met its mark with a lethal precision. The guard crumpled to the tunnel floor, a testament to the silent prowess of the ninja on her quest. Undeterred, Nadja pressed forward, the stolen supplies now tantalizingly close.

So far so good . . though the sooner I find these supplies and soldiers the better . . .

Each step through the twisting tunnels brought her closer to the heart of the raider's lair and the resolution of her mission. The caverns whispered ancient secrets, but Nadja, a master of the shadows, remained resolute in her pursuit of justice and the retrieval of the stolen resources. In an ephemeral dance of swift strikes and seamless evasion, Nadja silenced the guards with the same efficient precision that defined her every movement. Bodies fell soundlessly to the cavern floor, and the stolen supplies, now liberated from the clutches of the enemy's watchful gaze, stood as a testament to Nadja's relentless pursuit of justice. The path forward lay clear, yet the echoes of the cavernous silence whispered a reminder that each step deeper into the raiders' lair would bring new challenges and tests of her prowess as a shadowy agent of retribution.

As Nadja navigated the intricate tunnels, a subtle shift in the air hinted at an imminent revelation. The stolen supplies, concealed behind a heavy door adorned with crude markings, lay guarded by a formidable presence – the raider captain. His silhouette cast a looming shadow across the trove of pilfered goods, and the weight of authority hung palpably in the cavernous chamber. Undeterred by the challenge that lay ahead, Nadja surveyed the scene with a strategic gaze. The captain, a towering figure clad in menacing armour, stood vigilant, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of intrusion. The stolen supplies, an unintentional bounty hoarded by the raiders, seemed to pulse with a silent urgency, awaiting liberation.

This must be their leader, if I can take him out, then it should be an easy smooth get away . . .

Nadja, the embodiment of stealth and precision, poised herself for the inevitable encounter. With a silent approach, she closed in on the raider captain, every movement calculated to evade detection. The dance of shadows reached its zenith as her blade met the darkness with a swift, decisive strike. The raider captain, caught off guard by the sudden intrusion, crumpled to the ground, his authority shattered by the enigmatic ninja.
The metallic clash of weapons echoed through the chamber as Nadja swiftly turned, her senses alert to the intrusion that shattered the fleeting silence. Emerging from the shadows, another raider captain, a formidable adversary clad in battle-worn armour, confronted her with a malevolent glare. The stolen supplies, now a testament to a struggle that transcended mere clandestine missions, bore witness to the impending clash between two forces destined to collide.

Ha Ha Ha, seems I was right about a little mouse interfering with our base. I told Raj but he was too occupied with those idiot Freehold soldiers and about one escaping away.

Nadja's eyes squinted at the other captain who had come forth from the shadows, ruining her perfect stealth record. His scarred face must have told a story but there was something off about him like the other guards, something unhuman, inhuman, craggily stone skin looking feature. it was difficult to see in the darkness of the dimly lit cavern but it looked like he had jagged rocks attached to his armour, almost going into his skin. Without any reply from Nadja as she surveyed the opponent, He roared as he charged at her with a sword in one hand and a strong fist in the other.

YOU SHOULDN"T HAVE INTERFERRED!

Nadja, the epitome of grace and lethal precision, met the raider captain's challenge with a focused intensity. The air crackled with tension as they circled each other, the cavern's depths amplifying the resonance of their impending duel. Each movement, a testament to years of honed skill, spoke of the impending clash that would decide the fate of the stolen supplies and the village she swore to protect. The raider captain lunged, a storm of aggression personified, and Nadja met the onslaught with a seamless dance of evasion and counterattacks. Blades clashed with a symphony of steel, and the chamber became an arena where shadows and destiny converged. As the battle raged on, the stolen supplies bore witness to the struggle for justice, their significance growing with every clash of weapons.

In this subterranean battleground, Nadja faced a formidable opponent, but her resolve remained unyielding. The clash of steel and the dance of shadows unfolded in an epic confrontation, a testament to the indomitable spirit of a ninja on a mission to reclaim what had been wrongfully taken. He breathed heavily as Nadja remained calm, controller her forced breathing after he had taken repeated assaults from her. It was clear that he was outmatched but she was still trying to keep it quiet in case any other guards caught wind of the fight through echoes that might have rippled through the cavern. She had to end it one way quickly, and as the captain raged forwards one more time, she stepped to the side, drawing a blade and slicing in an arc across his neck. Severing the neck as he fell forward onto his knees, the sword he was holding dropped to the floor with an ominous clang, causing Nadja to wince a little.

As the cavernous silence reclaimed the space, Nadja turned her attention to the pilfered supplies. The village's lifeline now liberated, she stood at the crossroads of triumph and the shadows, her journey through the clandestine world revealing that justice, in the end, thrived even in the darkest corners. Pulling down her mask to give her face some cold crisp air to cool her down, she looked at the supplies.

Phew . . .That's the supplies found, now we just need to find the soldiers then get them out of here.

With the raider captain vanquished and the stolen supplies liberated, Nadja's focus shifted towards the elusive task of finding the missing soldiers who languished as captives within the labyrinthine caves. The ethereal glow of moonlight filtered through the winding tunnels, casting an otherworldly pallor over the rocky terrain.

Silent as a whisper, Nadja navigated the intricate network of passages, her heightened senses attuned to the echoes of distant footsteps and the subtle hum of conversations. As she ventured deeper, the subtle signs of captivity began to manifest – crude cells, dimly lit by flickering torchlight, held the missing soldiers in an iron embrace. Approaching the cells with the precision of a silent wraith, Nadja peered into the shadows, identifying the faces of her comrades worn by the strain of captivity. The imprisoned soldiers, eyes reflecting a mixture of relief and astonishment, recognized the figure cloaked in darkness as their salvation.

Nadja, with a subtle gesture, liberated the prisoners from their confines, their gratitude echoing in the quiet chambers. The journey to free the captured soldiers became a beacon of hope in the subterranean abyss, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the enigmatic ninja who traversed the clandestine world in pursuit of justice. As the freed soldiers gathered around her, Nadja's eyes glinted with determination. The mission, though fraught with challenges, had unveiled a path through the shadows – a path that led towards justice, liberation, and the reclamation of what was rightfully theirs.

Guided by the ambient glow of torchlight, Nadja, flanked by the now-freed soldiers, led the way through the intricate maze of caves. The journey out of the subterranean abyss mirrored the arduous path that had brought them here – a path fraught with peril, shadows, and the silent resilience of those who refused to be held captive. Nadja's every step echoed with a quiet determination as they traversed the tunnels, leaving the oppressive darkness behind. The liberated soldiers, their spirits rekindled by the promise of freedom, followed their enigmatic saviour with unwavering trust. The cavernous passages, once a domain of captivity, now bore witness to a procession of resilience and hope.

The cool night air greeted them as they emerged from the cave's mouth, the moonlight revealing a world that had seemed distant during their imprisonment. Nadja, now the harbinger of liberation, surveyed the horizon with a sense of accomplishment. The stolen supplies rescued, the prisoners freed, and justice served, she stood at the threshold of the night, a symbol of triumph against the shadows.

The freed soldiers, grateful yet solemn, cast their eyes upon Nadja as a beacon of salvation. The journey through the clandestine world had not only reclaimed tangible victories but also forged bonds of camaraderie in the crucible of adversity. As they ventured into the moonlit night, Nadja's shadowy figure led them towards the village of Mianmen, where the echoes of their collective triumph would resonate for surviving the ordeal.

Spending the night in the Uchiha compound so the men could rest and recover from the incident, tend to wounds, be fed and effectively be more fit to travel, Nadja hoped that there was enough supplies and men here to impress the Freehold and return to join them. Come next light, Nadja felt refreshed and full of vigour almost buzzing with anticipation to return back to the training grounds and camp with them men, surely they felt the same too. Gathering up the men and some supplies to return back to Eastwatch, they set off just past morning dawn looking a lot happier and more colour in the cheeks of those that were captured.
