"Crystal is right, no blood will litter the streets!" Maén's voice was strong, "Im very disappointed in you all." she said quietly. “We are on the same side, or at least im paying you to be, so while you are under my contract, you will save whatever blood is to be spilled among you, the last thing I need is to explain a murder I had not planned for.” The murder that the spirit young woman had planned for was the murder of the infamous Guriel. She could tell that some were feeling guilty, and that was what she had hoped for. “I am no worrier, and Im not pretending to be, but what I do know is this my friends, a little kindness to you fellow man- or woman would not go astray on this journey.” She turned her backs on the company who were still cooling down after the hasty fight that would have been, and surveyed the area.

Large marble walls, windows… they were high and small, small enough for her or even Crystal to pass through, though they would need to stand on someone’s back at least to reach the height. No, that thought was pushed form her mind, Maén needed all of them to be able to help her, keeping soldiers at bey who were so often found protecting the more important of documents stored in the Minas Tirith Archives. And no doubt that the details of the military’s cover up on the Il Galoth betrayal would be stored in there. She knew where it was that she had to look and Maén Il Galoth was no stranger to picking locks.

“What are we to do here then my lady?” Aelimur asked.

“We are going to break into the Minas Tirith Archives.” She put simply, “There is something I need to justify to make sure that my Aunt Lysia is not wasting her money. I wrote to the king and asked for this information a few weeks ago, and they said Guriel did not exist. So I take that as a sign that I have to find it for myself, Elessar basically invited me in, so you see, It really isn’t breaking in, it’s more like, looking for a while at something which concerns me dearly.” A small smile played at the sides of her mouth and her hazel eyes sparkled with excitement. Of course it was madness to try and break into a Gondorian institution, but this was Maén, and nothing was too outlandish for her, besides, she thought that she might just get away with it.
