Thrakatburz pressed herself into the mind of her adversary, meanwgile closing and locking all the doors of her own memory. She felt Aman's current emotions; anticipation edged with fear, she was unsure of herself. Keeping part of herself focused on aman's emotions, Thrakatburz pushed deeper into the elf's mind, vaguely aware of what the other elf saw inside her own clod consciousness. the elf wasnervous and sensing this made Thrakatburz stronger, barricading the fortress of her memories, she was sure of her own superiority. She explored Aman's memories of the battle, felt the thud of arrows and rejoiced to remind the elf of the pain of her wounds, an enjoyable distaction to de-moralise her opponent.
Thrakatburz showed Aman scenes from the lives of others, knowing that she could remind Aman of her own painful memories this way, bringing them to the front of her awareness, allowing them to be easily viewed without the need for a tiring and thorough search of Aman's catalogue of memories. She saw the vision as Aman had seen it, the death of her family and something was stirred inside her, the remnant of a spirit Thrakatburz had thought was long dead. Somewhere deep inside, Siluailwen moved. She felt pain, guilt and terror and Thrakatburz had to momentarliy divert her mental resources to subdue the elf. While this internal struggle was taking place, Aman burrowed deeper, watching the memories of Siluailwen, getting closer to what she wanted to see, and though Thrakatburz could control her own thoughts, Siluailwen willed Aman to look further and deeper into her being.
