				The Black Forest, rumored to live up to its dark name, also holds the name Placeres Eróticos, or Erotic Pleasures. The name Erotic Pleasures comes from the grand lake that is in the Black Forest, received from the many stories told about adventures within and near the lake.<br><br>In the middle of the Forest stands the Black Forest Keep, where Lansher Ravenfield resides with his family as he rules over the Black Forest. Also hidden among the shadows of the Forest is the Alter of Souls. Very few are permitted to gain access to the Altar. Many have tried and failed to find it. Only those deemed fit by Lansher may be honored enough to come here and gain a piece of the wondrous power hidden here.<br><br><div align="center"><strong>Black Forest</strong><br>(http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r585/ShadowAmaris/Dark%20Lands/Black%20Forest/the_end_of_marmara_by_darksilverflame-d3ccsi1.jpg)</div><div align="center"><strong>Forest Lake</strong></div><div align="center">(http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r585/ShadowAmaris/Dark%20Lands/Black%20Forest/forest_lake_scene_background_by_brandrificus-d3b2xu0.jpg)</div><div align="center"><strong>Alter of Souls</strong></div><div align="center">(http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r585/ShadowAmaris/Dark%20Lands/Black%20Forest/Altar_of_souls_by_Dr4kon.jpg)</div>

				A larger than normal white wolf, with grey eyes and a mystical marking around her eyes and down to her cheek, lightly makes her way through the woods at a leisurely pace. Her ears at attentive to the sounds around her, her pale grey eyes ever scanning for trouble as she nose tips up at sniffs the light breeze flowing through the trees. Thorn listens to the sounds of the woods around her, the sounds that the small local wildlife make, the cries and calls they sing to each other in soft muted sounds of the darkened woods. Thorn comes to a stop just short of the lake clearing, looking around she holds her ground until she is sure that no one and nothing else is around to surprise her. She walks out into the clearing, gazing out onto the lake, watching the water ripple and dance from the activities under the surface.

				Sitting atop a hill overlooking the Black forest lake Niryn (http://i386.photobucket.com/albums/oo310/Ravenmother13/Raven/Personalities/Nirynfirewolf.jpg) scans the grounds for newcomers though it would be some time before others would arrive. She has heard about some rumors but until they are confirmed she thinks nothing of it. Tilting her head up she catches a scent of something unfamiliar and takes some time to try and distinguish it for which being it was. Being fairly new to her wolf form still, she needs more time than those that have been wolf all their life. Still, she is a fast learner and her master RavenWolf is a good teacher. She doesn't blend in well in her surroundings in the forest, leaving her to be spotted a lot easier, but she learned to cope. Learning that the scent is of a female canine, that being as close as she can distinguish the source she looks around the place, trying to pinpoint the position before seeing a wolf near the water. She perks her ears as she watches the being, testing herself to determine who it was, and if it was friendly.

				Having been ushered on by Ramses at the Gate, she had enjoyed talking to Elena and getting to know her along their journey down this road.&nbsp; She had to admit to herself that the woods were beautiful in their own way, peaceful and she found herself enjoying the walk.&nbsp; "So tell me Elena, what brings you here to the Dark Lands?"

				With all the getting to know each other they were doing, she didn't realize that they had made it this far. She flicked her gaze around and noticed that it was supremely beautiful for being dark. She had always found something so beautiful about places that were dark. They held their own sense of mystery and intrigue. Two things she enjoyed greatly. She heard Lix's question and she smiled at the question and chuckled. "I'm an escort for the Goddess Thalia. I'm not sure if you've ever met her. But, she sent me here to check it out since she had a falling out with a man named Vincent. And you?"

				A light breeze ruffles her fur as a scent crosses her nose, Thorn quickly flicked her ears back listening to the now quite woods behind her. Trying not to give away that she had picked up on something else in the woods around her, she her lowers her head to the water and takes a few licks as she uses the waters reflection to see around her. Not seeing anyone out in the open, Thorn raises her head slightly, seeing an odd reddish gold reflection in the water off to her side still in the trees. Cocking her head towards that side, she takes a deep breath through her nose, holding it until she marks the scent and then slowly lets it out. <br><br>Thorn tastes the smell of another canine, female at that. Not completely relaxing her guard, she turns from the water and faces in the direction of the reddish golden wolf still standing in the trees. Taking steps away from the water, she moves back into the middle of the clearing, slightly closer to the woods than the water. Stopping a good distance away from the strange wolf, Thorn relaxes slightly as she brings up a faint whitish blue glow around her body. Staring into the woods where the other wolf still stands, she speaks with the aid of the lighted magic. "I know that you are there, so you might as well come out. I mean no harm to you, unless you mean harm to me. So come out here and show yourself, please."

				Elena looked to the man that had appeared out of nowhere and she swallowed quickly. Giving him a slight curtsy, she then stood straight and looked at his lips, not quite making eye contact. It wasn't meant to be rude since Thalia had always told her not to look a superior in their eye unless asked. She raised her hand meekly. "It was I Sir."

				She smiled, enjoying Elena's company as she walked through the woods, taking any of signs of life in.&nbsp; "I have met her in passing.&nbsp; And Vincent as well if I remember correctly.&nbsp; But if they had a falling out I can understand why she sent someone in her place."&nbsp; She hummed softly as she spun about to walk backwards so she could look at Elena's face as she walked.&nbsp; "Me? My father sent me here, to examine the realm, meet it's rulers or citizens.&nbsp; Forge alliances if need be, or anything that would assist him in keeping hell in order."&nbsp; She grinned softly and looked around.&nbsp; "Plus I am looking forward to visiting Raven and Niryn in their home."&nbsp; She paused and looked at Vincent and waved.&nbsp; "Nice to see you again."

				Tilting her head at the sound of a voice Niryn moved from her place where she was observing the other wolf since there was really no point in&nbsp; keeping her spot. Her paws threading across the ground near silently she moved closer to the other wolf with a non aggressive stance to show she wasn't going to harm the female. Perking her ears in an interested manner she looked at the other wolf and slightly tilts her head, sniffing while she was at it. It seemed the female indeed meant no harm but Niryn was ready for it if this proved to be a wrong conclusion.

				The curiosity getting the better of her, she glanced up at Vincent and her lips quirked into a slight smile at his purple eyes. "I was merely telling Lixlaria why I was here." She hesitated for a moment and then dared to look him in his eyes this time. "I'm an escort for the Goddess Thalia. She sent me here to explore. Mount Olympus is in quite an uproar." She finished, trying to not to ramble on. She turned to Lix and gave her a small smile, hoping she didn't get the girl in trouble.

				Thorn watched the wolf approach her in a non threatening way as she came to a stop in front of her, tilting her head and giving her a curious look. Lifting her nose slightly, Thorn took a good sniff of her, holding it in for a moment before releasing it, as she marked that scent to be hers. With a soft laugh, Thorn watched the wolf for a few moments before speaking. "You can't speak in that form, can you?" She asked kinda already knowing the answer to her question. "Well, pardon my rudeness. My name is Thorn Reinhart." She said in a low tone as she slowly lowered her front legs into a bow, but never taking her eyes off the wolf.

				She rocked back on her heels as she watched Vincent interrogate Elena and canted her head curious, wondering if all it took to get someone to come to you here was to call their name, though she doubted it was that easy.&nbsp; She heard her name mentioned and she turned her attention back to the conversation at hand.&nbsp; She smiled softly at Elena and looked at Vincent, not to worried about his reaction to the explanation, it was just a simple conversation after all.

				<em>Vincent with Elena and Lixlaria at Black Forest</em><br><br><br>He growls deeply and steps towards Elena." She ruined a perfectly good Slave, as for Olympus they can all kiss my ass or I will eat the lot of them." He turned away and started to walk off his silver dread locks dangling down his back his dark brown pants making no noise and his bare feet also silent.

				She stands there and crosses her arms across her chest and calls out after him. "She sends her regards. But between you and me, she does have the habit of doing that. Too...loose I'd say." She grinned and sent a silent prayer up to her for forgiveness. Being her escort gave Elena some freedoms and she took advantage of them when she had the opportunity.

				Niryn tilted her head more as the female spoke, had she been in her human form she would have blushed at the comment, but that would mean she had been able to speak had she been in human form to start with. She listened to her voice and watched her bow, giving her the same courtesy and relaxed more though her curiosity was even more peaked at this, she heard the name before but couldn't recall where. She thought on this, keeping her eyes locked on the wolf and sat down, the aura her body radiated turning slightly more timid as her emotions calmed down. She found herself aggravated with this many times as she had little control over it still. Hating that it was so overly obvious to tell what she was feeling in that state, while she mostly preferred to keep it to herself. Perhaps Lansher, who had granted her the ability in the first place, knew that would happen and might have even done it on purpose. Most likely so even, now she thought about it. She let out a deep sigh at this thought and wondered what would be the best next move. Having her interest peaked with Thorn she wanted to communicate somehow.

				<em>Black Forest</em><br><br>The woods grow darker and shadows begin to move beyond the trees, twigs snap and the wind blows an eerie howl.

				She watched the banter between the two of them, and as Vincent went to stalk off she called out.&nbsp; "Nice seeing you again."&nbsp; Before turning her attention back to Elena, wondering if the girl would end up provoking Vincent with her comments or not.&nbsp; She almost sighed as she looked around again, debating on if she should start up the road again or if she should wait.&nbsp; <br><br>Looking up as she hears the voice she glanced at Elena again.&nbsp; "It appears that we should continue to advance.&nbsp; Shall we?"

				She heard the voice from within the woods and wondered what sort of tests and trials there would be. She wasn't a fighter by any means but she could hold her own if necessary. The only thing she could do was shift into animals that matched her emotions and she doubted that would help her. She grinned and nodded towards Lix. "Sure. What do you think these tests will be?" She asked, stepping a couple of steps forward.

				She began walking with her again, making sure to stick to the path and she shrugged slightly.&nbsp; "That is a very good question.&nbsp; Riddles, feats of strength, tests of character?&nbsp; I am really not sure.&nbsp; But I am sure we will find out soon enough.&nbsp; Raven's Father must be very protective to have to have tests in place."&nbsp; She mused out loud.&nbsp; "What do you think they might be?"

				She thought about it for a moment. "I'm not sure. Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe a fight or something? Puzzles. Like you said, riddles. Which would be the same thing." She finished, not wanting to talk Lix's ear off. She looked around her surroundings, trying to see if it was just the two of them or something more out there.

				<em>Black Forest</em><br><br>As Elena and Lixlaria walk the paths of the forest they come across two hunters pinning an injured wolf guarding three pups. The hunters are armed with spears and no armor, the wolf has an injured paw and is missing an eye. It doesn't look like the wolf will last much longer.<br><br>The Hunters see the girls walking up and call for aid." Please fair maidens help us capture these wolves so that we might sell them to feed our families."

				Lix had been enjoying the stroll with Elena, that was until she had come across this scene.&nbsp; The men appeared to be starving and the wolf wasn't much better off, but was just trying to protect it's cubs.&nbsp; Moving beside the men she pushed softly against their spears to direct them away from the injuried wolf.&nbsp; "Why would you sell them?&nbsp; Is their no other way for you to feed your families?"

				As Lix talked to the men, Elena moved around the men and crouched near the wolf. It didn't matter to her that the wolf growled at her. She understood the bond between mother and pup and the wolf would do anything to keep the hunters away. Shielding her body away from the eyes of the men, she extended her hand and closed her eyes. The bones in her hand shifted and she winced slightly. Opening her eyes, she extended her now wolf paw to the injured mother. "It will be okay. You've got protectors." She whispered to the wolf.

				Her temper flared, a bad trait she had inherited from her father, but she was more thankful that they had turned the spears on her and not Elena and the wolves.&nbsp; "I can understand you need.&nbsp; But I can't let you harm them or take them.". She heard the whimpers and cries and she glanced at the wolves and then back at the hunters, her hands held up and out in a gesture of nonaggression.&nbsp; "How much do you want for them?"

				Elena turned her head and narrowed her eyes at the group of hunters turning on Lix and the wolves. She felt like she needed to distract the hunters away from their group. She knew if it came down to it, they could be able to handle their own, but she didn't want to take that chance. Closing her eyes, she grit her teeth and waited for the change to come. Despite being born into a shapeshifter family, it still twinged when she shifted. Opening her eyes again, she found herself on four legs instead of two. She looked like a normal wolf with no distinguishing features. She turned her nose to the mother wolf and then licked her fur. She hadn't been a wolf in sometime and she hoped she would get the characteristics right. Turning, she pinned her ears against her head and she let out a low growl as she stood next to Lix, her medium build guarding the wolves.

				She couldn't help but laugh as they went running, looking at Elena.&nbsp; "Thank you Elena.&nbsp; Apparently that scared them off.". She chuckled again before moving and croutching down near the wolves.&nbsp; She didn't want to frighten them further but the mother wolf needed to be healed.&nbsp; She sighed softly and winced slightly, her wings unfolding and ripping through the back of her shirt, small trickles of blood staining the cloth that is left as her silver wings stretches briefly and she reached up and pulled a feather from them.&nbsp; She folded her wings against her back, so as to not frighten the wolves further and leaning forward just enough to place the feather on the mother wolf she smiled.&nbsp; The feather gave off a soft glow before fading into the wolf, healing it slowly but surely.&nbsp; "There you go.&nbsp; All better."

				If a wolf could smile, she did. She turned back and then whined softly at the sight of the mother. Plopping down onto the ground next to the pups, she nosed the little ones gently and then gave them each a lick. Elena knew what it was like to think that you were all alone in this world. She inched towards the little ones slowly, trying not to scare them. Reaching them, she turned her body and nuzzled her nose against them and the leg of the now being healed mother. She flicked her dark eyes at Lix and waited for her so they could move on in their journey.

				She didn't like the idea of leaving the wolves there alone, what if those hunters came back?&nbsp; She knew she didn't have much choice as she looked at Elena and with a small sigh she stood, brushing her hands off on her pants and looking at the wolves. "No chance you would follow us huh?&nbsp; We should at least get you off the road.". She smiled softly and looked at Elena. "Ready to go?". She wondered where the road would lead them next and if they were in for any more challenges.

				She closed her eyes and thought about shifting back but if she did, she would have no clothes. Getting back up on all four legs, she closed her eyes and decided to do it anyways. She softly groaned and then quickly covered herself with her hands as she was naked. She sent up a silent prayer to Thalia to clothe her and the Goddess came through for her. She quickly put on the dress that the Goddess gave and her and then nodded at Lix. "Sorry about that. But yes, I am." She stretched and took a deep breath.

				She watched, amused at the scene.&nbsp; How strange it was to her for there to be trials to see the ruler of this realm.&nbsp; But she did not argue, at least thankful that they had past the test.&nbsp; She looked Elena over with a smile, trying to not embarass or concern the girl to much, but she was a beauty.&nbsp; "Not a problem at all.&nbsp; Trust me.&nbsp; Besides, it seems as if we have chosen correctly.&nbsp; So I think it is time that we moved on."&nbsp; She chuckled softly and gestured for Elena to join her and began down the new path that had opened to them&nbsp; "It is impressive that you can change form."&nbsp; She said almost wistfully.&nbsp; How she missed being able to change.&nbsp; But she couldn't and she wasn't going to dwell on it any longer.&nbsp; "A great gift to have."

				She walked with Lix and then she pondered if it truly was a great gift or not. Yes, it had its perks and of care it had its downfalls. She turned her head and smiled at Lix a little. "I guess so. However, it's not all tht great a gift." She murmured sadly. Sometimes, a shapeshifter couldnt have children and that was often unfortunate. The woman was often cast from the village if she couldn't have children. She pushed that memory from her mind and then looked around. "I wonder if the tests will get harder from here."

				She smiled back at her.&nbsp; "Well I guess it always seems more like a gift to someone else."&nbsp; She chuckled softly, the idea had seemed to depress the other girl and not wanting to further sadden her she took on her next topic.&nbsp; "I would assume so.&nbsp; I can't imagine that they would set up tests and then make them easier.&nbsp; It wouldn't make much sense.&nbsp; I am more curious however as to how they will test us."&nbsp; That was what she was most curious about.&nbsp; How would they pass all the tests if they had no idea what they should do.&nbsp; She was sure they could figure it out, but still.&nbsp; It wasn't exactly what she had pictured when she had agreed to come here in her fathers place.&nbsp; "What about you, what do you think might be next?"

				"I'm guessing that they'll call into question our character like they did before. But, I have no idea." She shrugged her shoulders and then stretched once more. If she didn't stretch periodically, her joints would be sore and bothersome. She strolled with her in silence and then talked once again. "I do hope those wolves are okay."

				As soon as she felt she was being separated from her travelling partner, she reached her hand out to grab hold of Lix, but she wasn't there. She stood still for a moment and debated on whether or not to shift into an animal. She slowly made her way forward, her instincts on high alert. She gave up looking around to see where she was. She set her mouth in a determined line and kept making her way forth.

She listened to her voice and watched her bow, giving her the same courtesy and relaxed more though her curiosity was even more peaked at this, she heard the name before but couldn't recall where. She thought on this, keeping her eyes locked on the wolf and sat down, the aura her body radiated turning slightly more timid as her emotions calmed down. She found herself aggravated with this many times as she had little control over it still. Hating that it was so overly obvious to tell what she was feeling in that state, while she mostly preferred to keep it to herself. Perhaps Lansher, who had granted her the ability in the first place, knew that would happen and might have even done it on purpose. Most likely so even, now she thought about it. She let out a deep sigh at this thought and wondered what would be the best next move. Having her interest peaked with Thorn she wanted to communicate somehow.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Thorn watched as the wolf mimicked her bow and sat down, noticing her aura toning down as she relaxed a little, making her appear a bit more timid than she was moments before. She noted that the wolf seemed lost in thought for a few minutes before letting out a sigh, a little tug of conscious pulled at Thorn, as she remembered what it was like to want to talk to someone while in wolf form, but not being able to. Taking a few steps back from the wolf, Thorn magically transformed into her human form,with the whitish blue glow wrapping around her body as she did so, creating a soft whitish-blue sheen gown on her body. With a soft smile, she looked at the wolf and held out her hands, mumbling a few Latin words, a soft plushy, reddish-gold robe appeared in her hands. "If you wish to chat, I can give this to you so that you may cover yourself and have a talk with me." She spoke in a low soft tone as she watched and waited for the wolf to accept or deny her offer.<br><br><br>

				Niryn looked at Thorn and seemed relieved when the wolf shaped into a woman, that would leave the trouble with her being unable to communicate behind her and she focused on shifting herself, shaping into a red haired woman with hazel eyes, covering herself up somewhat to avoid embaressment and took the robe with a grateful smile, putting it on. "Thank you. You are lucky to be able to talk in wolf form, that's very handy. My name is Niryn, pleasure to meet you." she greeted the woman, finally able to properly introduce herself. "Forgive my curiosity but I couldn't help thinking I heard your name somewhere. Have you been here before?"

				The mist slowly reveals and she gasps softly to see a man holding a little girl above the cliff that she knew was very high up from the way her vision slightly swam. She weighed her options. She couldn't very well sneak up on the man because he would most likely throw her off. She didn't want to do anything to harm the girl and she figured talking was out of the question. She closed her eyes and shifted into a horse form. When she was a little girl, she had always loved horses so she just assumed that all little girls were the same. Once she was transformed, she lumbered slowly towards the duo, her long brown tail swishing. She thought that if he could get him away from the edge, the girl could still live.

				Thorn smiled, when she saw the wolf shift into a very attractive human form, noticing her relief in taking the robe to cover herself. With a soft laugh, Thorn nodded. "It is true that that little magic trick of talking is very handy and it is a pleasure to meet you as well, Niryn." Smiling at Niryn's curiosity, she nodded once again at her question, before turning slightly and walking a few paces over to a large fallen log. Sitting down on the log, she motioned for Niryn to sit with her. "Yes, I have a manor here. Well my mate and myself have a manor here. You might have heard of it, Dark Skies Manor."

"Sorry, just frustrated me not to be able to point it out. I have heard Lansher talk about you and your mate inhabiting the manor. I am to the east with my master in the Shadow Realm, living in the Shadow Keep. Maybe you have seen him or heard of him before? His name is RavenWolf." she tilts her head just slightly as she looks at Thorn even more curious, glad to know she is an inhabitant of the Realm.

				Letting out a piercing whinny, Elena galloped towards the man. She arrived just in time and quickly leapt off the cliff after the girl. She wasn't ever going to watch someone murder anyone, or any animal. Closing her eyes, she shifted into an eagle. Flapping her wings, she stretched her legs, her talons sharp. Her sharp talons quickly grabbed hold of the girls clothes and she began to frantically flap her wings to keep them afloat. She altered the course and let outa slightly victorious eagle cry, she flew them away from her dad and landed softly on the ground. She hopped towards the girl, her beak clacking just a bit.

Maybe we can figure something out so that we can remove it before you die."&nbsp; She was prepared to help him, but she was cautious.

So much so, a pale hand came up to press against her chest almost as though in an attempt to stop the wild drumbeat of its rhythm.

				<em>Edges of the Black Forest</em><br><br>It had been an uneventful journey to the Black Forest, he wasn't sure what had drawn him to simply walk north after leaving the gate and the man there, but that was what he had done. He had skirted the edges of a large city, he had seen signs naming it She'Ran, unsure whether the denizens would be either friendly or indeed human. He had enough supplies to last him for a good few more days and had continued north, drawn on by some unknown reason to the edges of this forest. He scanned the trees warily as he made his way past the outlying trees and into the forest proper. There was something unmistakably eerie and concerning about the forest, it felt as if he was being watched.<br><br>Despite his obvious stealth and caution as he moved through the forest, his feet not making a single sound on the forest floor even despite the twigs and leaves which littered the ground, his face didn't give any hint of what he was feeling. Instead he gave off an aura of confidence and swagger, the only sign of his increased alert state was a narrowing of the eyes and an increased speed to the way he swivelled his head to scan the surroundings.

				<em>Edges of the Black Forest</em><br><br>He moved through the forest slowly, what had brought him here he wasn't sure, nor was he sure why he continued to move through the dense trees, but he did anyway. Each footfall completely silent, years of practice making him move stealthily even when under duress. Suddenly a voice spoke right in his ear, he spun on the spot, going low into a crouch as blades extended with a snap from the bracers on his arms. The blades glinted, even in the darkness, their edges razor sharp. Forged in dragon fire the blades were near unbreakable and never lost their edge.<br><br>He frowned in confusion, he was still alone. The darkness seemed to becoming more oppressive, more solid, as if it were taking on a life it's own. Eyes appeared in the trees and he turned slowly on his heels, marking everywhere he saw a pair of eyes in his mind. He moved with the grace of a dancer and the precision of a cat, turning slowly on the spot. His breathing was calm and even, as his face stared coldly into the darkness, but his heart rate had picked up and adrenaline was starting to surge in his system. <strong>"Show yourself!"</strong> he called into the darkness, almost snarling his defiance at the eyes on unseen bodies, <strong>"Face me and I will show you just how ready I am!"</strong>

" How can you be ready for what you dont even know exists." It fades back into the shadows as the whole forests seems to laugh tauntingly at Elias.

				<em>Edges of the Black Forest</em><br><br>Whatever this being was Elias did not believe it friendly but when a figure suddenly formed out of the fog and darkness ahead he restrained himself from throwing knives at the man. Whoever the man was it was clear he was responsible for the darkness and the howling of wolves in the distance, but he had done nothing actually hostile yet. Killing a man for being spooky and mysterious did not fit in with Elias' creed. He trees themselves seemed to laugh at him as the man disappeared, fog curling round his legs as if hundreds of ghosts were appearing from the forest to claw at his clothes. His face was fixed in a defiant snarl as he stared after the man, but before he could give chase he heard a scream. The scream came from up ahead and Elias was instantly moving, perhaps the man was troubling someone else, perhaps he could help. He sprinted in the direction the figure had disappeared, despite his speed his feet still making no sound on the forest floor.

				<em>Black Forest - moving quickly</em><br><br>He growled in frustration as the screams seemed to multiply and grow in intensity, but he was being hindered, some dark power reaching out to try and ensnare him with roots and tree limbs, as if the power of the figure was causing the very forest itself to attack him. Leaping and darting through the forest, over grasping roots and ducking under flailing limbs, he slashed through thinner vines and creepers with the blades on his bracers. He notices the shadows coalescing behind him forming in wild and horrible creatures which pursue him with horrible growls and howls. The voice in his ear taunting him in the same way the forest seemed to. Frustration and anger were evident in his face, he didn't know where he was running, or how far he had to go. he could stop and deal with the monsters, but the voices drew him on, his desire to help them burning within him. <strong>"Curse you for a coward, whatever you are!"</strong> he roared as he ran.

				<em>Elias in the Black Forest with a great Wolf</em><br><br>Hurtling into the clearing he stopped instantly at the sight of the wolf, dropping instantly into a fighter's crouch bringing up his arms with the blades pointing towards the great beast.

Despite this he moved cautiously, sidestepping carefully his eyes on the wolf and casting back to where the monsters had been only a few moments ago. <strong>"Nice wolf" </strong>he said through gritted teeth, <strong>"Nice magic wolf"</strong> he continued, sidestepping slowly.

				She managed a grin.&nbsp; "Well serves you right."&nbsp; She managed to get out, before taking a step back and throwing her arms up to protect herself when he exploded, throwing her back a bit and into the ground.&nbsp; When all seemed to settle around her she stood, checking the damage done to her and rubbing the back of her head gently with a wince.

				<em>Elias in the Black Forest with wolf</em><br><br>He spun on the spot when the voice sounded, a deep rich voice. It took him a moment to realise it was coming from the wolf and his surprise was so great that he even dropped his hands to his side, the blades sliding back into the bracers, as he stared at it in shock. He glanced around the clearing as if expecting somebody to come out from behind some nearby trees and tell him it was a joke and that the voice had been ventriloquism. Hesitantly he spoke slowly to the wolf, still glancing around with narrowed eyes, "Do you mean you'll stop me? Or am I held here by magic? And what question?" he asked. He turned, wondering if he could just ignore this insanity and leave the wolf to it's own devices, making his way slowly to the edge of the clearing, wondering if he could still find whoever had made those screams, or whether they too had been creations of the forest. There was magic at work here, that much was already clear.
