If there was nothing else in this world to encourage the hunter to survive, it was those lips. Perhaps it was the renewed sensation of sensual contact, perhaps it was the soft, tender application of her flesh against his; regardless, that passionate kiss left the night elf craving more, yearning to hide away with Elariel and block the rest of the world so the two could be true lovers. The slow, titillating peeling away of her lips from his slowly reminded Tae'lo'ren of their dire situation.<br/><br/>Senses returning, the hunter bonded with the surroundings outside the cabin once more, allowing his hunter spirit to commune with the environment around him. He could feel intense magical power all around, could feel an increase in the presence of life and knew they did indeed have to act fast. He didn't like the idea of leaving the others, especially after they had supported him, but he trusted Elariel, even with his life. No more than a few steps and the night elf staggered, faltering in his efforts. His heart beat just a bit harder, blood coursing just a bit quicker, the intensity of fel magic in the vicinity overwhelming the hunter. Illidan. Black Temple. Platoons of Demon Hunters.<br/><br/>The alluring scent of Elariel faded, the pleasant scent of nature around them faded. Only the faint stench of fel energy permeated the night elf's nostrils and mouth and lungs. His skin began to tingle and burn, then, to his horror, images began to fade away, only varying shades of green. Tae'lo'ren was blinded by the fel magic, at least to the environment, for he could see the intense profile of every blood elf in the vicinity. Drawing out a polishing cloth from his leather tunic he tied it around his head and eyes. He would need Elariel to guide him, or rather, her magical profile.<br/><br/>A profile which now stood motionless before him, facing him. He could visualize her mortified expression. She had likely seen his eyes shift from gold to green and could likely smell the fel scent and feel the fel energy on Tae'lo'ren's body. Thinking quickly he grabbed her shoulders and lined his face with hers. “Elariel. Lead us away. I will tell you everything when we are safe, but as you said, we need to be away. Now. Please.”<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
