As Jaq looked up from his prayer's, he felt more than saw the figure standing in the dark. Though it's face was in shadow he could feel it watching him, studying him.
"I know who who you are."
"I know what you are." The stranger spoke with a soft voice, and yet there was great age and power behind every word.
"Then you know I have no fear of you, or of what you represent. Here, in this place, I have moved beyond such concerns." Jaq turned away, busied himself with the meager possessions his cell contained.
"I am aware. I was simply curious. My daughter often watched you and your friends, and even I found myself curious at times. Much has changed now that you are here. Your friends don't know, do they?"
"No. But they shall find out in time, of that I have no doubt. And I imagine you will be watching then as well."
"Most likely. We have our roles to play."
As Jaq moved to exit the room, a strange smiled played across the stranger's face as she slowly faded away.
