She’s all bundled up in a fur lined leather parka and fur lined leather boots. When she lays eyes on the tiger, her clear blue eyes go wide and she opens her mouth, letting out an ear piercing wail.<br/><br/>A different woman, appearing in her twenties and wearing virtually the same thing, pops out of the woods at this time. She scoops up the crying child and coos at her, trying to calm her. She looks to where the child is pointing and goes more still than humanly possible. Her eyes begin to glow a bright red. Vampires.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Seeing the child Feldor stops in his and motions for Seiceron to do the same, too late however as the child sees the great white tiger and lets out a piercing wail. Remaining as motionless as any living being can be they wait to see if an adult comes at the child’s scream. The wait isn’t long as a woman rushes to comfort the child. When the woman looks their direction he starts to say something to reassure what he presumes to be the mother that there is no danger, but the words catch in his throat as she goes statue like still and her eyes glow red. Knowing he is facing at least one but probably two vampires, he subtly makes sure he can draw his wand quickly and grounds and centers his mind once again.<br/><br/>Without moving any closer Feldor says, “I am sorry my friend frightened the little one. We mean no harm and simply wish to pass peacefully back into the village.”<br/><br/>Without taking her glowing eyes off of Seiceron the woman responds, “We are hungry the hunting around here has been very scarce these last few weeks. Is that beast what has depleted the prey in this area? It has a long time since we have tested a tiger and never one to large and full of life.”<br/><br/>“The reason the prey is scarce is because this has been a harsh winter and the prey has either moved elsewhere looking for food or has starved to death already. You will just have to continue to wait to feast on tiger because he is not on the menu.”<br/><br/>Her eyes finally turn to the elf. “It has been even longer since I’ve tasted the sweet blood of an elf. Would you risk you life to protect a beast? In many ways I hope you do, then we can feast on your blood as well.”<br/><br/>Thinking for just a moment Feldor suddenly draws his inch thick wooden wand and points it at the pair of vampires. He utters the command word almost inaudibly and a bubble of force appears around the woman and the small vampire in her arms. He walks up to the bubble while putting the wand away. Placing his hand on the surface of the invisible barrier he says, “I would risk my life for my friend, but it is not necessary today. This bubble I have placed you in is virtually indestructible without powerful magic. It will dissipate in about an hour, which should give us more than enough time to get away from this spot, and you will be free.”<br/><br/>Motioning for Seiceron to accompany him, Feldora resumes his journey back into the village. He returns to his room at the inn and starts packing all of his belongs away getting ready for their trip to California. Looking at Seiceron he says, “One more night here and we will leave in the morning.”
