"Elves win against wolves in their natural habitat? this Drachon fellow is a little too confident if you ask me." Darakus thought, as he had grown up in a forest and learnt how to navigate the underbrush with ease. he began dashing through the forest darting in and out of the trees on all fours, resembling his domestic brethren in every way other than his left arm, which seemed to pulse a darker color across his scars the more excited he got. Easily passing the group and taking the lead, he made the mistake of looking back to gloat.<br/><br/>"You said "May the best elf win", right?" he was enjoying himself now, even if it was at someone else's expense. "Well then that technically makes me one third... oof." he had been looking behind him at his competition, and had thus hit his head on an oncoming tree branch. rubbing his head, he saw Drachon pass him along with Farish and Chizu, Morys and even Sen.<br/><br/>getting up and dusting himself off, he muttered yet another string of demonic swear words and silently cursed his overconfidence for good measure. If he had been paying attention though, he would have heard an exasperated sigh coming from his shadow.<br/><br/>"Pardon us," he heard Farish say to two newcomers on the scene who, by all indication, were full blooded anithropes. "We're just passing through. The town is having a slight issue with demons right now and they're probably following us. You may want to make some distance as well," Farish finished.<span style="font-style: italic">"Pathetic."</span>Darakus thought as he noticed the sheepish way that Farish's last sentence was said in. His arm was pulsing a black aura as he began yelling rather unnecessarily at his new halfling 'friend' "Slight? SLIGHT? you call half the population of Fainta on our tail SLIGHT?"<br/><br/>He suddenly stopped and, closing his eyes, he took several calming breaths. When he opened them again, they showed no sign of his prior outburst. Only absolute tranquility. "Sorry about that. That got a little out of hand. Did I hurt anyone?" it was as if he had done nothing, or rather, remembered nothing of what he had done from the time he hit his head to the time he had become relaxed.
