Beautiful as it was, every kingdom is said to contain a tragedy. For this kingdom, the fell came in the form of the simplest fact of the lust for power, and the betrayal from within. The Elzierian army had the four strongest knights to lead it, branching off into their own elements, but together, they were undefeatable. The Queen had given them each an area to govern, so that they would return to her to with a report of the lands around them.<br>
<br>
To the North was the Youngest Knight, said to have reached up into the heavens and brought down judgment upon those who had sinned in the form of destructing light. Stretching towards the South was the Female Knight, igniting the flame of justice that was said to reside within the heart of all in Elzier. To the West resided the Eldest Knight, protecting the Elves with the winds that many believed to carry the voices and spirits of Elzier. Spanning towards the East stood the Cardinal Knight, soothing the world with the healing waters that gave life and health. Together, they were the four pillars of Elzier and, in essence, the world. But just like any platform that was held up by pillars, they were doomed to the greatest weakness, for they would fall if not united.<br>
<br>
The King of Darkness had known this, thus he had gone after one that had been predicted to have the weakest of hearts among the four. No one knew how he had lured the Cardinal Knight, a great hero that no one had expected to betray them. They said that the susceptible mind he possessed allowed the King to lure him with the promise of power and leadership. This knight was said to be of the blackest of heart that had been already lurking in the shadows, caving into the Kingâ??s will and immediately joining that side. They say he was so ugly and sickening that no one could gaze upon him without feeling the darkness eat away at their sanity.<br>
<br>
On the night that the Queen had been assassinated, the story went as thus. The Cardinal Knight had joined in the usual meeting of the four knights, reporting to the Queen of Light about the situations of the world. A beloved son-like figure and savior of the Queen from a previous war, he had been trusted to near her in any way or form. Something that they had realized been the hardest form of betrayal. Wrapping his arms around someone they thought he saw as a mother, the Cardinal Knight drove the dagger of darkness deep into her body, corroding the light that resided from within. The Amulet of Marosia flared to life and exploded, sending four pieces into the scatters of the world. At the same time, the Queen was said to have fallen with a scream that pieced all that was within range to hear.<br>
<br>
Another version was that when the Amulet had scattered, the King of Darkness reached out his hand and caught one of the pieces like a ball thrown at him, a stream of light flaring beyond his hand, even though he had caught the main object that the light had been designated for. The magic flared, and any lower being without as much power would have been destroyed. Four lights that flared outwards to the corners of the world, leading them to where they might be able to find the shard of the Amulet. Even the three knights did not know fully where the shards were; just a general direction that the lightâ??s path showed them. But even if they found it, the question remains on those who still believe them, lips; of which the three knights was pure enough to wield part of the Amulet? <br>
<br>
As for the Queen? Her body flared into a glow of light, and they said that as she died, her body clung to the boy that she had raised by her own hands, only to be killed by his. What she had said to him, or had done, was left to be a secret that only the Queen of Light and the <b>Treacherous</b> Knight to know.<br>
<br>
But the truthâ?¦well, only those who had been within the room, the Queen, King, and knights, knew what had truly happenedâ?¦ what had trulyâ?¦<br>

<i><b>Book One -</b> The First Shard</i>​</div><br>
<b>â??Youâ??re full of shit, you drunk.â?</b> a sharp voice came through the enchanting tale. The small woman that stood barely over five feet one, reached over the barâ??s counter and pulled the drink away from the manâ??s grasp. She knew she shouldnâ??t have gave him so much to drink, but he had a charming way of getting people to do what he wanted. <br>
<br>
A sinful stretch of lips pulled into a lopsided smirk, as dulled blue eyes gaze at the woman. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Why, Dearâ?¦Iâ??m just telling everyone here the story of what <i>might</i> have happened.â?</span><br>
<br>
<b>â??Yes, <i>might</i>. Stop spouting nonsense though, as no one truly knows what had happened. Itâ??s bad luck to speak of such things in the pastâ?¦â?</b><br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Pish-posh. If we donâ??t study the past, how will we know the reason for the â??nowâ??? Isnâ??t that right, buddy?â?</span> the drunkard turned to his left, speaking to the air. Naolin was known to speak to himself, drunk or not drunk, so it was always a mystery if he had been talking to a spirit that no one else could see, or if he truly had lost his mind.<br>
<br>
In the corner of the tavern was a looming shadow, gazing over the necromancer, before observing who else was there. Travelers of all sorts came to this safe haven, as it had been situated in the further corner of Marosia. This area was known to only a few travelers as a neutral area, where even the King of Darkness avoided, as it was a small blip on the map. The only problem was that the bar owner, Sophia, allowed no one to stay for more than a night or two. No one, except Naolin and itself. But then again, it was part of Nao, so perhaps, the correct statement would be â??but Naolinâ??.<br>
<br>
The blonde drunk snickered at the imaginary friend, before grabbing for the cup from Sophiaâ??s hand and took another drink. His dazed blue eyes gazing outwards to nowhere and everywhere, noticing a few groups of scattered people in the tavern this early day. The fact that he was drunk already by high noon, wasnâ??t a surprise.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bf40">Â¤</span> <b>Chapter One</b> â?? Traveling Companions <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bf40">Â¤</span>​</div><br>
The road to the West was one filled with many beautiful sights and many lovely creatures. Three companions, starting off from the beginning of the road, and now, there were five. Brand sometimes wondered if he was just too observant of things, but if one wasnâ??t going to speak often, then they were going to observe their surroundings. The easiest to notice were those around him, such as Valen, their somewhat leader, or Lynnira. He had been with them for quite some time, but for Arioch or Everanâ?¦well, those two were new additions that they had not expected, but did not deny. The fight for justice had always been a long road, so he did not think it would harm if they had others to share the road with.<br>
<br>
On such a vibrant day, strange for days that should be encased in darkness from being under the rule of the King of Darkness, they were heading down towards the small Elvin town, Cam. Of course, like most areas in the West, things were hidden with mazes and traps, all made by the Elves to protect themselves from unexpected dangers; something that was much needed in these times. Through the <a href="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt45/HKitten/TheWest-Autumn.jpg" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Orange Fields</a>, they would head to the town and rest there, as their supplies were low already. <br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000"><i>Thatâ??s alright. Weâ??ll just ration for now, and things will be fineâ?¦</i></span> the blonde cheerfully thought, smiling slightly as he navigated through the area. Sometimes, he was a bundle of energy, searching for a new way to bring justice and peace for all, so often times, like today, he was causing the entire group to lag behind; despite them walking at normal pace.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??I think weâ??re close~â?</span> he called out, turning around and smiling at the others. Of course, Arioch might have been better to lead them through the Elvin fields, as she was a pure Elf, and had lived in the Elvin world much longer than he had. This was also Valenâ??s territory, as the elder knight had guarded these areas in the days of peace.</div>

For Justice</b>​</div><br>
After such an utter fall of their empire. Of her home and of herself! Them all! How could the runt be so cheerful? It irked her. Oh did it irk her. Usually the vibrant looking knight was not so bitter or angry with the world. No, usually she was quite the entertainment, jokes, riddles and tongue twisters spewing from such pouty pink lips. Naturally so. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"You said the same thing moments earlier. We're barely any closer."</b></span> A soft sigh past her lips, those words spoken under her breath.<br>
<br>
The attack hit her where she was weakest, between her breastbones. Lynnira had a connection with their late Queen that wasn't normal between Knight and Monarch. Surely, all Knights felt a connection to their ruler, to the one they obeyed whole heartedly. Though Lynnira was different. It wasn't a mere Knight to Queen connection. No. Much more. She was the Mother she never knew. Like so many times in the days past, she held her tears behind her blue orbs, gazing emotionlessly after their youngest-member, bouncing away in front of them. <br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"Oh. How I wish I was carefree like you, little one. You carry little negative emotion in your shell. You seem to not care about these terrible days past, yet I know, you grieve as I do. Yet alas, you smile, cheer and skip merrily along as if you have no care in the world. I do not know if I should admire you, or pity you."</b></span> Lynnira spoke to herself quietly, a hushed whisper as she lagged behind the group. The tiny bouncing figure so far ahead, just a little colorful shape in her vision. The others just a bit before her. <br>
<br>
Too emotionally wounded, she hadn't even the heart to bear her armor. A sign of her remorse. Leather armor covered her pale skin, her long cloak whipping behind her petite body, the hood over her saddened face.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><i>â??Beyond the Orange Fields, deep within the Elvin mazes, at the center of the Elderâ??s crystalâ?¦ there, will you find the first shardâ?¦This journey shall be more than just one alone, so you shall travel together.â?</i><br>
<br>
At least, that was what the King of Darkness had told him. The blue-silver haired male narrowed his eyes as the sun began to set, making the fields and leaves glow the beautiful orange that they radiated. Unlike the â??otherâ?? group, ones he didnâ??t know were traveling closer towards the center of the Orange Fields, his own little â??groupâ?? was not as close as they were. Just a few hours ago, they had recently entered the tip of the fields, which meant that they would have to make camp and hunt for food later. It was, of course, every person by themselves, as he would not be hunting for them, nor expected them to hunt for him.<br>
<br>
The King had sent him towards the West to retrieve the first known shard, and when he had mentioned about bringing a few men, he hadnâ??t expect to be given someone that wasnâ??t of low ranking. In his opinion, the commanding groupâ??s personalities outweighed their abilitiesâ?¦ in the negative direction. In the new worldâ??s ranking system and in the army of darknessâ??, he was their General, with the Drow being the Colonel, and the werewolf actually making it to Major. There was another person, that had been called a Captain before, but not many people talked about him; the Dragon.<br>
<br>
Shaking his head free of the thoughts, he continued to trudge through the fields, wondering if they should rest at the moment or not. Withholding his sigh, Gandrian turned his gaze towards his companion; the single eye exposed staring at the Dragon like a dead gem that no longer glow the vibrant sea-green blue. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??Shall we rest, maâ??am?â?</span> he asked, tilting his head as if he was some gentleman offering a break. The night was nearing and they would have to hunt, eat, rest, and then get on their way again. His voice was sweet and innocentâ??far too innocentâ??like a childâ??s, and firm at the same time, like a teenager turning into a man.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Vampires were notorious for being lazy creatures during the daytime, so their endless trek towards Cam eventually wore him down. He lagged behind the others and panted like a dog in between breaths to keep his energy up, feeling his shoulders slouch as the thick material of his clothes caved in under the sun's merciless rays. He had wrapped an elegant cloak around his neck for this purpose, and according to the sorceress he had grown under the influence of, the material was supposed to keep him from overheating. It was such a simple purpose, yet the cloak only dragged down his heavy soles and fervently made him wish that he could have inherited his father's ability to levitate off the ground rather than trudge on it. Though he was mentally drained, his exceptional physique kept up with him, keeping his graceful feet marching in rhythm with the knights ahead of him.<br>
<br>
His cape swished as if he was dancing, and his gait remained proper and almost beautiful as he followed his companions down to the elven town. He thirsted for blood, but the area was strangely void of any live animals. The occasional squirrels he saw scampering across his vision were given a huge advantage what with all the foliage serving as their hideaways, so he promised himself a rich meal at their next destination and swallowed dryly. All this time, his eyes dilated, and his gaze stuck on the backs of the knights' necks, his tongue already rolling against the roof of his mouth to try and taste the metallic sweetness of their iron-rich blood. Just a drop would satisfy him for another ten miles ... <br>
<br>
Everan charismatically ran a gloved hand through his hair and brushed the longer strands behind his cheek, pouting and huffing louder than usual to possibly catch a knight's attention. All this walk and no talk irritated him. He was quite the social "bat", so he needed some sort of conversation to keep his mind off of the delicious pulses he had surrounding him so tormentingly. " <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#c61a21"><b>Where do you get all that energy, hm ~ ?</b></span> " he asked in a thick tone with a deep purr resounding in it. He shook off his exhaustion with a lion-like yawn, stretching his arms vertically above his head with a soft grunt of satisfaction. " <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#c61a21"><b>I wish I was as young as you. All these centuries are getting to my bones,</b></span> " he complained with a frisky laugh, massaging his elbows and attempting to keep his own blood circulating while they were under the sun's stroking heat.<br>
<br>
The sooner they would get to a remotely shady place- the better. The air was dense here, and not quite like the frigid temperatures he had grown to love in his hometown. His clothes were preventing him from being sunburned or getting nasty rashes, but vampires were naturally weak to the light, which was ... oddly ironic for someone like Everan.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">There was a reason why nobody spoke alot about the so-called "captain", and that was because he usually ate anyone that did and picked his teeth with their ribs half the time.  He was in this little "merry" band of likeminded and somewhat sinister folks out of respect for the dark king, but was unbelievably irritated at how slow they were going. Ordinarily, he'd just get up in his enormous dragon form and fly to where they had to go, dive down and grab the item and get away before the other side could get to it. But he'd been instructed to behave and at least try to cooperate but that didn't seem to be going so well really.<br>
<br>
He'd just start coming out of his own reverie when he spotted the Knight, that bastardly...  irritating lump of a humanoid staring at him for a moment. "What the hell are you staring at kid." he growled at him, he had full right to call them kids too because of his superior age. "Stop and rest? That's your perogitive, I can keep going after all we don't know when those other idiots are going arrive." He pointed out. "I'd rather get there before they did." Xion grumbled but had to accede to the suggestion of the leader of their little band.  Xion's voice was smooth and somewhat deep but manly sounding despite his youthful appearance, his irritation at the situation showing as he raked a hand through his red-streaked hair and sighed.<br>
<br>
"If we're going to stop, we should do so now and be able to set up a campsite before the sun goes completely down." Xion shrugged some. But in the end it would be everyone for themselves; the only possible person he'd share with was the drow, simply due to the fact he considered her to be rather lovely in a dark way and didn't quite want someone that used ice so easily to be pissed at him due to his elemental weakness.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gandrian tilted his head and continued to gaze at the Dragon for the longest moment. The others were not with them yet, but the King had mentioned the other two joining them along the journey. That was an annoying factor to add into the hunt, but he took it in stride. Traveling in groups had become something he didnâ??t enjoy, and if he could, he would have rushed off without this tag-along. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??You know, you donâ??t have to stop on <i>my</i> account. Iâ??m such a weak creature compared to you, oh mighty <i>Captain</i> Xion. Please, go on ahead without meâ?¦I shall catch up.â?</span> the former knight sweetly offered, voice almost sugared, but facial expressions were lacking.<br>
<br>
The one-eye exposed narrowed, before he began to trudge off to the side. It wasnâ??t dark yet, but in a few shifts, it would be. While he had no qualms about hunting at night, the meatier preys were out in the day. Without even telling Xion that he was leaving, he dashed off into the far distance and followed his instincts to find something alive. Elvin senses heightened, as he quickly climbed the trunks and branches, before leaping from tree to tree.<br>
<br>
The orange leaves brushed against his nude arms, soothing him as if half of him needed nature. Narrowing his eyes at that, he didnâ??t even focus his magic to release the hatred he had for this feeling. Every tree that he touched wilted, as the water and moisture within was drawn out and dried. Killing the plants didnâ??t even faze him, as he spotted a deer out in the distance. With a leap off of the dying tree branch like he was diving backwards into water, the sea-green eye glowed and before he landed on the ground, his sword had sliced off the deerâ??s head.<br>
<br>
He speared his sword into the ground and picked up the deerâ??s carcass, humming like a happy child that had found candy. With blood dripping down his back from the deerâ??s headless neck, he made his way back to the â??campâ??, and hoped that the Dragon had decided to leave like he had â??offeredâ??. Heâ??d have to set up fire to cook this thing, and then perhaps create a small bathing hole to wash up before skipping a rest and continuing with the journey. Having Xion around, trailing and tagging along to observe him wasâ?¦ annoying.</div>

Arioch Ta'Thlen walked ahead of the rest of the group visibly annoyed. The entire time they had been traversing the Orange Fields, they had been chattering away about this and that. None of it was important conversation, and after the first three hours or so, it was just annoying. Painfully so.<br>
<br>
After throwing away her position as a general in the army of the High Elves, Arioch left the tree-top kingdom and returned to the bottom, the place where she lived most of her life. There were no such things as sight's to be seen, nor was she moving back there. She was leaving. Why? Because of the Eclipse. The world was covered in a pseudo darkness allowing every evil abomination in existence to walk the face of the earth as they so chose at any time they chose to do so. And she couldn't stand it. The armies were tired, and no one was doing a thing, not even the three remaining heroes. Of course, being betrayed by one of their own and losing some important had to be hard - but the three had just vanished off the face of the earth. So there was a bounty on their heads? And so most of the world wanted them dead? This wasn't <i>that</i> much different from any other war when you were fighting on the losing team. Then again, they had never been on a losing team. That was something that she needed to remember.<br>
<br>
The three cowardly bastards, as she called them, had just happened to be traversing the same stretch of the wood that she was wandering through. She bumped into them after realizing how stupid leaving her kingdom was, and how foolish it was of her to think that she could do anything against this force all on her own. Their initial meeting was none too pleasant. Not one to censure herself, she let each of them have it. They failed to protect the Queen, they ran and hid, and now the entire world was seemingly spiraling downhill because of them. Without giving them a chance to even speak, she turned and went on her way. She had gotten into trouble, as she had run into one of the raiding parties in the lowlands. They had come to help her, and offered her the chance to come with them to help and correct their mistakes. She accepted their offer, not to help them correct their mistakes, but to put an end to this darkness and return the previous peace to the world.<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff"><i>And like a fool, here you are. You are just a glutton for punishment, aren't you?</i></span>[/list:u]<br>
<br>
<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"I do pray to the Gods that we are,"</span></b> she sighed. Z's optimism was beginning to really annoy her. She actually shared the same sentiments that Lynnira did on the matter. Well, similar ones. She pitied him for being able to be so bubbly right now, but could not help but wonder if there were something that happened in his past that made this look like a cakewalk. And then there was that. . .other thing. The Vampire. Everan his name was. Something about him being around made her uncomfortable, and not just because he was a creature of darkness. There was a lewd glimmer in his eye that made her shudder. The thought alone made her subconsciously clench her fists. Thankfully, he had yet to say or try anything, but she was waiting for the moment she did so that she had a good reason to hit him in the face.<br>
<br>
To take her mind off of things, her violet optics scanned her surroundings. She was silent for just a moment, before speaking once more. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff"><b>"If we keep up this pace, we should reach the town within the hour."</b></span> <i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">Thankfully.</span></i>[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">"You would never make it as an assassin Lord Volwrath,"</span></b> a low, seductive purr called from the camp. Seated before the fire was a Dark Elf, who looked up at him as he drew nearer with a slight smile on her face. He had been so loud moving through this forest the entire time that she was more than certain any elf that had been in the vicinity of the area would have fled in sheer terror of him and the darkness that he carried around with him. Not to mention the way he destroyed those trees. That was surely going to catch someone's attention. Not to mention how slow he had been moving. Had she been trying, she could have caught up with him and killed him several times over already. It was a good thing she was on his side. <b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">"Even from here, I could hear you jumping about. That thing you've slain must have been touched in the head."</span></b><br>
<br>
To be exact, she served directly under him. He was, one of the few living beings that she had respect for. Of course, because he was so distant - and she wasn't much better about getting closer to people - they didn't know each other very well. But he was someone who was serving under the King of Darkness, who had earned their lord's trust to the point where he served as the King's right hand. How could she not at least have respect for him? There were other's who were wary of him, fearing the traitor would betray them as well, but she wanted to believe in him like the King did. Especially after he eliminated the biggest obstacle in their way - the person that he had served under before, the Queen of Light. No one knew how hard it had to have been for him to do such a thing, or if it were hard at all. They knew that he drove a dagger through her heart and took her life without showing the slightest hint of remorse. He served the King of Darkness faithfully, and hadn't shown any signs of turning against him.<br>
<br>
<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">"Your presence is required elsewhere after you've finished retrieving the shard. I'll be taking it back to His Majesty in your place,"</span></b> she explained, answering the obvious question he would have asked her had she not said that much. She sat at the side of the fire that had been left there, absentmindedly flipping one of her daggers up into the air and catching it. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000"><b>"I have no further information on the matter. You will, most likely, be contacted in the usual manner with further instructions."</b></span> she mused, not knowing or really caring how it happened. Her mission was done for now. Until they succeeded in doing what they were told to do, she was free to do pretty much anything she wished to do. But what exactly she would do was the question. Maybe enjoy torturing some animals? Or finding some elves to kill? Or maybe she would stick with the other two who were here. There really was little point in doing so though. [/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Don't give me that crap." Xion snarled at the other knight and stretched himself out and started to walk away, not wanting to deal with that stupid elf's attitude.  He'd wait for a few minutes after the guy left, Xion was wary of anyone seeing his real self and wanted to be absolutely sure that he was out of sight before he dropped his concealing spell.   But as luck would have it, his still keen nose detected the scent of the dark elf long before she showed up at the makeshift campsite. And Xion would hustle some, sprinting out into the clearing nearby and  changed forms midway, for a dragon the size of a large town he was quite silent due to a bit of specialized magic he'd applied to himself centuries ago.  <br>
<br>
With two beats of his massive wings, he was off into the air, catching a thermal and soaring up high into the darkening sky.  He was intent on seeing just what was ahead for them; perhaps even locate the shard from the air so he'd know just where to go.  However, his stomach was pleading for something else and he took off and headed north, clearing a dozen miles within thirty minutes.  He was after the musk oxen the idiot farmers kept around there to move their stocks around from town to town. With the effortless grace of a diving raptor, the colossal dragon dropped out of the sky and blatantly smashed a farming community with his claws and sweeps of his tail, snapping up a few humans along the way as an appetizer.  <br>
<br>
But in the end he'd grab the three biggest oxen he could find and took off again to return to the campsite, deciding that they wouldn't be well served by scattering to find their own meals, that just left them vulnerable and  open to attack.  The key to their little mission afterall was stealth to a certain degree.  <br>
<br>
By the time he got back it seemed like the other two had just arrived and were starting to settle in when he dropped the remaining ox to land nearby with a sickening "thud" and fell out of the sky after transforming back into his human form and landed on his feet and produced a hot knife from his belt.  "It's nice to see you again my dear." he purred to the dark elf in a sinister sort of way, before taking to cleaning the thing.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Once he reached back to the â??camp siteâ??, Gandrian almost gave out a sigh, as he realized that instead of Xion leaving, they gained yet <i>another</i> person for the night; the Drow. Really, it was a wonder why the woman followed them around sometimes, and he had bite back his words about how he didnâ??t need to be quiet. Heâ??d only exercise his stealth during combat, and killing for food was hardly a task. But instead of spewing something rude towards his â??peerâ??, he slowly began to walk towards her form, a cute pout upon his lips. It was too innocent on his face though, making him look too young, and if one was to saw him like this, they would probably take a double glance and ask if he was truly the rumored cold-blooded killer that many talk about.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??You know, Iâ??d be much better at it, if I had someone to teach me.â?</span> he spoke, stepping closer and close, as if he was a predator, stalking his prey. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??Personallyâ?¦one on oneâ?¦bodyâ?¦teachingâ?¦body.â?</span> each word was drawn out like he was humming it, the smooth words accented by something foreign. Once the last word was hushed out, it was like he was sharing a secret with Nekar. Warm breath ghosted over her sensitive ear, almost close enough that she might have felt his lips upon the tip. His suggestion was anything but innocent, yet before she could respond to his â??advanceâ??, the former knight turned and moved towards the fire.<br>
<br>
He gazed over to the kill that Xion had brought back and raised an eyebrow. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??That much? Eating in your true form, Captain?â?</span> he inquired, thinking that the Dragon truly was gluttonous at times. The silver-blue dropped his own kill, something that was plenty, if not too much, for himself, and grabbed a few sticks. He had planned to cut up some meat and spear it to cook over the fire, but as he reached back to grab for his sword, he paused halfway. The blade that was usually sheathed on his back was missing, and he seemed to pause in thought, waiting for it to either come back to his grasp, or wondering where he had last placed it. He could have sworn it was just right there a moment agoâ?¦</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">A guttural growl sounded from the back of the group. A traitor, whom was more of a coward in his own eyes, attempting to bad mouth a dragon. Primitive instinct told Gerrit that was a dumb idea. Though, the bare-chested man casually leaned back, and enjoyed the background noise as he cleaned his teeth with a tiny twig. A rumble sounded from his belly, <b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#800080">"Hmm... food."</span></b> Gerrit chose his words wisely, looking around at the make-shift campsite. This orange forest gave him the weirdest feeling. An odd shiver in his spine. <br>
<br>
<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#800080">"Hah! Traitor, even a dumb woman wouldn't sleep with a coward. At least. Not for free."</span></b> He snorted at his pitiful advanced. <b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#800080">"No wonder you're still a virgin. At least.. you look and act like one."</span></b> His purple-blue eyes narrowed as his smile grew into a thin grin. Though soon enough he rolled himself off the tree, his large hands taking hold of the ties of his leather pants. His back was to the group, though either way, he didn't care. His hunger was now unsettling. So, pulling the draw string, his pants fell to his ankles, and he stepped from them, leaving them at the base of the tree he had so casually lent against. Without even a good-bye or an explanation, he lurched into the bushes.<br>
<br>
When he emerged, he was no longer a man. A huge wolf, with white pointed fangs on a long muzzle, accented with a black, wet nose. Saliva dripped from his maw, excited for the hunt, and for his next meal. With a growl at the group, he dived into the other bushed across the path. <br>
<br>
And so he hunted. <br>
<br>
Not very long after, he re-emerged, a half eaten deer carcass hanging from his bloodied maw. His ears were lain flat down against his head as he tossed it to the ground, in a sign of content and protectiveness over his food. He dropped to his belly and began to gnaw on it's ripped open torso loudly. Knowing the noises would soon annoy someone.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Besides the other knights, the vampire and the elf walked a taller man, Valen was an impressive sight in the daytime, and here where the power of the wind was at it's greatest he was in top shape.<br>
<br>
The male walked alongside his comrades at a brisk pace. Physically he felt fine, but his emotions were still biting on him, seeing his comrades, the people he had grown to love hurt was something that hurt him even worse, the smooth shaft of his spear felt cold and his armor felt awfully heavy even though he was wearing less of it than he normally did. Valen moved silently and swiftly, the edges of his cloak brushing the grass, hiding the light armor that covered his torso. Valen's eyes were downcast, lost in thought as he continued, his allies occasionally <br>
<br>
The Elves here called him the Windwalker, it was their name for the Wind Paladin, a man who easily wiped out groups of enemies using his ornate spear or the slim curved blade he carried upon his person at all times. Valen looked up, the other knights were with him, the elf looking as irritated as ever and in the lead, and behind her followed Z, bouncing along in his usual bubbly carefree mood, even though the loss they had just gone through was great. Valen admired Z's control, the surprise of their ally turning against them and stabbing the queen was great, for Valen almost too much to bare. Valen had been quiet since the incident, the betrayal, and the subsequent failure to protect the queen, a woman he cherished more than any other was great, weighing heavily on his heart, a deeper wound than the traitor had inflicted on him. For the longest of time since the loss of their kingdom, Valen was unable to speak, the smiles he once found so easy to produce failing to appear, his walk slowed, as if he was carrying a great weight on his shoulders.<br>
<br>
Valen's head turned to the female as she muttered something under her breath. Valen didn't quite need to hear the full thing to understand what she meant, she was commenting on their youngest Comrade's level of energy, which was somewhat unnatural. Valen sighed loudly, speaking, mostly to himself, but loud enough for the others to hear him.<br>
<br>
<b>"We all have different ways of expressing our grief, I am glad his does not affect his morale, if he has hope, he might as well have hope for all of us." </b>The male's voice, normally cool and calm, even sweet, the phrase was harsher, a little biting. Valen, quite possibly had been hit the hardest by the queen's sudden demise, like the other knights they were closer than any knight and monarch should be, but he was her champion, the one designated to protect her, to defend her from one who would do her harm as her shield, and her lance, and he was powerless to protect her. The day after was the first time Valen had truly wept for someone, a man was expected to be strong, but Valen couldn't control his emotions that night, all of them going haywire on him, he had avoided the others, unable to allow himself to let them see him wracked with tears. Since then Valen became unnaturally determined, they had a mission to do, and Valen could not allow himself to fail in it, first he would gather the shards with his allies, they they would destroy the king and restore peace, Valen could not fail in this mission, even if success costs him his life.<br>
<br>
Valen continued on his path, following the elf shortly, his eyes watching her, focusing on her back. Valen was focused on moving, thinking of each step, using those thoughts to distract him from the emotions that battled in his mind and in his heart, and to get away from the dull throb that was ever present in his chest, the pain had lessoned since the last time, but it was still there, it was distracting, though <br>
Valen didn't mind the distraction, one kind of pain took another pain. <br>
<br>
Valen was glad that they were here, a place he could relate to at least. Valen deliberately ignored the vampire, though his comments at the time while inappropriate could break up the silence. <b>"We should hurry at least, I have no doubt our foes themselves are moving as I speak.</b></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Xion just glanced over at Volwrath and shrugged a bit as he returned to slicing apart the ox and setting steaks of it to roast over the fire; taking a moment to wipe a bit of blood from his lip.  "Actually I already ate, those humans were rather stringy and tough so I decided to take a few of their livestock. When I left I had three." He smirked, rubbing it in the knight's face that he knew that the man viewed him as gluttonous and he didn't give a shit.  Even in the human form he still had to eat enough to maintain his real form which often seemedl ike a lot but some humans and two oxen were a light snack for a dragon his size.  While he really couldn't stand the irritating traitor, he didn't really think the other two were that bad; they kept to themselves and didn't try really get on his nerves. The dark elf was intriguing, acid-tongued and clever; he knew that she was probably the most skilled out of the whole group at assassination style tactics, the werewolf was the bestial "tank" of the group and could be counted on to get the job done: usually not without some collateral damage though. "For your information dumbass, I'm preserving some of this for later on you never know when it might be a good idea to have a bit of meat on hand. At the very least we can feed the wolf to keep him from mauling too many people." he pointed out in a dry sort of humor.  <br>
<br>
"And he's right you know. Any smart woman isn't going to bed with a traitor, particularly not one of her skill." Xion agreed fully with the wolf, just to tweak the knight about his inept advance.  Once he was done carving up the ox, he backed of, shifted forms, ate the rest of it then shifted back and settled down. He slipped off into his own little world for a few moments, the fire shining in his red eyes as he walked through the fabric of time/space in his mind's eye.  Back to the one time when he was actually happy in his life, he'd been content for centuries but to be actually happy was rare.  "Lyra.. Corona...." He muttered a bit and produced a couple small handmade dolls resembling the two little girls, complete with wings and tails.  They were both approaching their teens by now and he hadn't seen them since this whole thing started thanks to that little elven slut that was with the other party.  It may seem odd to the others that he'd carry such piddily things with  him but they held more value to him than his entire mountain of gold and platinum coins he had stored in a private vault under a mountain with no visible entrance because they made these for him when the were 5 because he was gone so much.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Hearing the others speak about his attitude as if he wasnâ??t there made Brand raise an eyebrow. He was a bit confused as to why they were so concerned about why he was smiling. Of course they were in hard times, of course they had lost the Queen. Everyone found her lost hard, and while everyone thought that it was the hardest to lose her for themselves, he was sure that was, in a way, true. She had been a figurehead for different things in everyoneâ??s lives. For Lynnira, somewhat of a mother, for Valen, a companion and overall, the Queen that carried light within herself.<br>
<br>
The blonde male had to wonder what the woman had been for himself. Her death had sent him into the corner of the palace, wrecking tears and thunder that shook the foundations for a good while, before he was forced to leave the area, or be caught by the King of Darkness. She wasnâ??t his mother, as he had known his own and loved her, nor was she someone he loved romantically. But she was a well companion that he had learned to care for, and as a knight, it was a said duty to be her protector.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000"><i>Well, I canâ??t change that nowâ?¦</i></span> he firmly told himself, steadying his mind for what his goals were. Things were not finished, and while he hated the darkness so much, he knew that letting that hate would only turn him towards darkness. The lightning wielder was determined to bring justice, and he would do so with a smile on his face, and thunder in his fist. In fact, he would be happy to send some thunder right down the Vampireâ??s legs and give him some energy, as that guy was seriously lagging. He had to wonder how old Everan truly was, as the Vampire looked young.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Thatâ??s silly~ We all should have hope, for Kali wouldnâ??t have wanted us to grieve before we have saved the world.â?</span> he reminded Valen, smiling gently at their leader. He had paused to wait for the elder knight to catch up, before walking along side the other male. The other blonde had become very reclusive, which was worrying. Darkness had taken over the land, the Eclipse had shadowed the spirits of manyâ?¦ but what worried Brand the most, was the lost of the pillarsâ?? hopes. Of all the Knightsâ?? hopes.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">As the travelers talked and gathered their meals they would likely notice a strange and sudden quiet in the air. Nearly twenty feet from the location that they stopped, a small green flame flickered to life, hovering about a foot from the ground, flickering and glowing in the present darkness and the low light of the moon. The flame rested for a moment, then grew quite suddenly, growing in size and shape until a pillar of green flames stood from the ground, it would only be another moment before a dark figure began to appear from the flames, separating them as they flowed around it, a robed form, emerging from the fire.<br>
<br>
As the robed figure stepped from the flames, they diminished, The Warlock had arrived through his chosen method of transportation, his transportation spell. The Warlock stepped away from the charred ground that had marked his entry, stepping towards the followers of the king just out of their line of sight, though he had made his method of entry obvious to the ones more stealthily inclined on purpose, in case they thought he was an enemy and attacked him. <br>
<br>
The Warlock was dressed in flowing robes, ragged and seemingly tattered wrapped around his form in a nearly provocative, but strangely intimidating fashion, he gave his all to appear as a warlock of great power, throwing all subtlety away in this form, here, in this clothing, this presence, he was Malak, the Warlock. After watching them for a little while he decided to make his presence truly known, though some of them may have noticed him lingering around by then, though the wolf was already eating as he stepped into the camp. <br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"Good Evening Gentlemen... Madam... Please excuse my sudden, and unexplained entrance"</span><br>
<br>
Malak smirked under his hood, his lips and chin one of the only thing clearly visible from the outside. Malak decided he would be best off introducing himself <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"I am Lord Malak, I am here to join you, on the King's orders..."</span> Malak had introduced himself as himself on purpose, he did not have anything to hide from these people, people he could likely count on as allies at some time.<br>
<br>
The warlock grinned from under his hood, looking over each one of them as he came into the area where they all stood. Malak grinned from inside his hood, looking from under the brim at the four, the Drow, the Knight, the Wolf, and the Dragon, taking in their features and projecting his prediction of their personalities and abilities, taking in their stances, and gauging them, learning all he could learn from sight in that first moment. The Warlock's eyes could be seen from under the hood for a moment, faintly glowing viridian crystals hidden in the darkness of his hood. Malak's smile turned to a smirk, two elves, and two beasts, grace mixed with bestial nature, upon viewing the area previously he had noticed several things, namely how they interacted with each other, how they hunted their respective prey, how they insulted each other,, and how they drooled over the Drow... it brought a merry little grin to his lips, such a shame they were on his side. <br>
<br>
Malak smiled, facing the people that he had been oh so politely ordered to travel with for the time being, his hands hanging nearly limply at his sides, the sleeves covering the digits, concealed inside the tattered robe. The male gestured, his gaze focusing on the Knight and the Drow, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"Though one or two of you may already know who I am... The King knows there is a chance that you... we might run into Elvin mystics, so he sent me to aid you"</span> Lord Malak, the King's court Magician did have a reputation amongst the King's troops, a master of magic with a bloodthirsty nature and a strangely whimsical personality, though the rest was shrouded in mystery. Malak sauntered into the makeshift camp <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"It took me a little while to find you all, save for some negligent use of powers..."</span> the Warlock rolled his eyes a little, directing his attention to the fallen knight. "When you are prepared we can move on, now that we are acquainted."<br>
<br>
Malak paused, waiting for the rest of the group to make their comments on the newcomer, whether it was relief, apathy, or irritation. Malak smirked as he waited, he didn't of course expect to be welcomed with open arms, though appreciation for having a magic expert arrive in case they ran into one of the Elfland's famous barriers. Malak's eyes scanned over each of the people, before finally resting on the Knight.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"So.. general, what is your current plan to obtain the shard? I do so look forward to the slaughter we will be engaging in"<br>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gandrian was a tease, as usual, coming right up to the point of doing something before turning away. He hadn't quite been able to take her breath away, but he had been able to make her heart rate spike. They were soon, however, joined by Xion, Gerrit, and Malak, all of whom had something to say about what they saw before them. Xion and Gerrit were both quick to hurl insults at the traitorous night, their own suspicions and dislikes more than apparent in the way that they spoke to him and looked at him. Xion seemed to have his own interest in her, but Gerrit? Gerrit didn't really seem to like anyone nor anything. That was all find though, she wasn't particularly fond of him herself. Then there was the court mage, Malak. He was a man of many mysterious, shrouded in darkness and relishing in it's glory not unlike the others here. He was suave, smooth, and above all, interesting.<br>
<br>
With a sigh, Nekar caught her dagger and rose to her feet. What started off as a small, intimate meeting had turned into a rather annoying gathering of all of the heads of the Army of Darkness, minus, of course, their king. Needless to say, she was uncomfortable with them all being here, knowing how all of their personalities would clash with each other's, but she couldn't just leave without saying anything. That would be most rude. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">"Now now, I'm sure that Lord Volwrath is just as capable in the bedroom as he is out in the field. I don't believe I need either of you making assumptions as to what or who I would do,"</span> she started, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">"such matters aren't important though. What is important is claiming this shard. Lord Volwrath, Lord Malak, I'll leave these matters in your capable hands."</span><br>
<br>
Nekar knelt down and bowed slightly, to everyone, then jumped up into the tree above and seemingly disappeared. Above, they would hear not even the slightest rustling of the leaves of the trees save for that which was caused by the wind. Where was she right now? A great distance away from the group. The only people who would be able to find her with ease would be Gerrit, because of his sense of smell, and perhaps Malak, able to zero in on her magical power. It didn't matter to her if they knew she were there or not, what mattered was that she could not see them and they could not see her. That was all that she needed to be satisfied right now. If she really wanted to, she would be able to cover up her presence completely, and hide without anyone knowing where she was.<br>
<br>
Being here in the land of the High Elves was something that most of her kind would have loved. Causing chaos, confusion, destruction, pointless slaughter of those who were favored by the Gods to bask within the light while they were punished to creep about within the darkness. Keeping herself under control was taking all of her might. There were villages all throughout the province that she could have raided on her own, lives she could have put out like the fires of a candle. But such was not yet the will of her King, so she contained herself. When that day did come, she would relish in all of the blood that would be let and enjoy taking the lives of these privileged, unworthy beings.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper">For a brief moment, for a <i>very</i> brief momentâ?¦Gandrian contemplated on how bad it would be if he moved to behead one of the companions. Of course, a sting to his right ear was a good reminder that even treacherous thoughts were not permitted from the King. The earring worked its magic and like training a pet, stung him slightly for such thoughts. His right eye narrowed, but before he was able to speak, a flaming blaze of green appeared just a few feet away from them, and formed to be Malakâ?¦ the <i>other</i> companion. The other male was someone he always seemed to forget for some reason, but it wasnâ??t as if he wasnâ??t important. Rather, the silver-blue had a selective memory and sometimes, he chose to zone out people that wasnâ??t exactly comforting to the thoughtâ??but going by that logic, he wondered why he even remembered all of the others.<br>
<br>
Giving up and just tearing off a limb to place over the fire, he just ignored everyone for the time being. Whatever the warlock was speaking about was kept into account, but didnâ??t seem to deteriorate him from working on his meal. The pup had been bitching about something, and he wondered if it was important, but if he didnâ??t fully pay attention, the perhaps he might not have needed the information. It was the same with the Dragon, but then he heard something about â??someone of her skillâ??, and it made him mentally chuckle.<br>
<br>
Someone of her skill was something he didnâ??t care for much, and while he played with her, he didnâ??t think either of them was even interested in one another. Just bantering that was returned from her doing similar things; perhaps to by time of the boring moments between assassination. A woman of skillâ?¦a woman of true skillâ?¦ he had known a few in his lifetime. While he no longer contacted them, unless the very few for the deaths he had dealt them, he knew that there were, or there had been woman that he saw of â??skillâ??. Whether or not Nekar was one of them mattered not in her ability to assassinate, as he already knew she had to have been skillful in that area to have become the Colonel. <br>
<br>
He didnâ??t speak for awhile, just waiting for the meat to cook, before hearing the question of his currant plan, followed by Nekar speaking up. Gazing up at her for a moment from his crouched position, he watched her go and as she jumped into the trees above, he tilted his head and got a glimpse between her legs from below. Acting like he hadnâ??t just peeked at her private bits though, he turned his head back to face Malak and shrugged. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??Whatever this tells me, I suppose.â?</span> he motioned with a gloved finger at the earring that appeared to be melded to his right ear. It was another way of saying that he didnâ??t care to share his plans with anyone. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??Now, if this little meeting is adjourned, perhaps my lords and ladies could depart such as the Colonel has? Or is there something more that we all must merrily join hands for?â?</span> the General asked â??politelyâ??, placing his hand on the ground to feel for where water was through the waves of any close by river. A bath was definitely needed, as he had blood dripping down his back still.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Xion for the moment wasn't interested in what was going on, he was too busy doing what he'd been doing.  Getting the ox meat preserved to serve up later as something to snack on or the like; afterall it would seem like they were going to be going at this for a while if they were coming into the realms of the damnable elves.  "It would seem a good idea to get moving.  I'd agree with that." he said and continued waht he was doing for a bit and soon finished, putting it all away  and stood up.  "First of all, we kind of need to figure out just which way this bloody shard is." Xion pointed out as he stretched his somewhat cramped left shoulder out.  He didn't react openly to Malak's arrival and just perked a brow but said nothing.<br>
<br>
"I don't like floundering around without a sense of direction." he muttered and waited for them to get up and decide which way they more than likely had to go, but he was about to follow Nekar's lead and head toward the elven settlements to cause a little pandemonium himself.  Maybe if he could set a few of their precious villages aflame it'd mean less interference later on. But right now it was important to find out just where precisely they had to head.  "Well if you've been getting instructions through that little earring of yours Gandrian..." He said , tailing the traitor for a little bit.  "Did the king mention any specific direction we need to head to find that first one I kinda wasn't there for the briefing. He only called me in after you left." he pointed out with a sigh.<br>
<br>
"These trees such such a pain to navigation though. Mind if I burn the lot of them down?" Xion smirked some with a very sinister appearance to it like he relished the thought of causing others harm and pain, specially elves.  He bore a deep hatred of them afterall, all except one and he didn't know where the hell that woman was, but he wagered Antioch, that stupid mystical elf knew.  <br>
<br>
<i>It'll be so much fun torturing her for the information.  But perhaps it would've been better to just get up and fly above the trees to see if I can see the destination from the air.  Gandrian seems to have the navigational skills and sense of direction to that of a common garden rock.  Until I can find an opportunity to fling him off a cliff though, I'll just have to listen to the idiot.</i> Xion though as he waited for the response from their so-called "leader". <br>
<br>
<i>And what was up with that warlock.  I can practically smell the magical energy he's carrying around. Almost like he's trying to contain some kind of massive explosion behind that calm demeanor of his. He might actually prove to be useful to these endeavors though, I'll have to keep an eye on that one; he's the only one here that might actually rival me in magic.</i></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The group felt awkward and strained, to Lynnira. Her eyes gazed over each figure in her sight. For her own amusement and maybe to add life to the depressed party, Lynnira decided it was time for a little <i>spark</i> of energy. As her slow walk changed to a brisk walk she snatched a leaf from one of the over-hanging orange trees. While twirling it in her long spider-like fingers she stood to the other side of the youngest knight, whom stood beside Valen. As the stem of the leaf rolled between her fingers, she glewed her eyes to it, her legs just moving automatically, no thought involved. <br>
<br>
With her cloak whisking behind her legs, tickling at her ankles, she imagined fire. The tips of her fingers turned into the white hot coals of her imagination, that twirling stem squealing as the heat touched it. The heat -- without burning the little green leaf-- moved through the veins as Lynnira told it to do. And out of no where the very tip burst into a blue-white flame. Though the leaf was not dying. Even as it was being scorched by the red-head whom held it. She watched it burn, her eyes looking down to the youngest Knight and offering him a smile.<br>
<br>
Bringing the flame covered leaf to her lips, Lynnira blew on it. The fire that had slowly encased it over those long moments then moved to the air, like a bubble of fire. Swirling inside itself, red, orange, yellow, to the blue-white core. The young woman reached out and popped the bubble of fire before herself. Sparks of light glittered like tiny stars fell around to the ground, where they extinguished themselves. A soft sigh left her. <br>
<br>
That tiny bubble had been her anger, her feelings of betrayal and hate. At least, the immediate ones. <br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"Hope is still inside of us, little one,"</b></span> Lynnira spoke, softly. Though the statement had no been directed to her. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"Death of a loved one is just.. difficult to cope with. Time will burn the wound shut. Only way to speed this up, is to get our revenge. To destroy the physical being that destroyed the symbol of peace for many.. and to lift this darkness. Yes?"</b></span> A shrug left the woman, as a small devil-ish smile touched her pink lips, <b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson">"Personally.. I just want to squish him like the bug he is.. to be vague."</span></b><br>
<br>
The 'he' she spoke of was quite obvious. And by the malicious look she had had on her face.. she was being quite vague.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hearing the conversation that the Knights were having in the background actually made Arioch feel a little bad. Upon first meeting them all, the High Elf had gone off on them. After branding them all cowards, she cursed their names and cast upon them each ill wishes. She, like most of her people, had lost faith in the knights after they all seemingly disappeared that fateful night the Queen of Light was taken from this world. The King of Darkness was free to bestow upon the world his own twisted fantasies, and he warped the very nature of the planet itself so that his legion of darkness could creep out and cover everything. The High Elves were a people who basked in light, and in a way, depended upon it's radiance for a number of reasons. That was a loss that was hard for herself and her people to deal with, partially because the darkness was starting to make it difficult for them to communicate with the planet.<br>
<br>
However, the loss of the Queen of Light was a greater blow. Not just to the Elves, not just to the people of the world, but to the Knights that were closest to her. To them, she seemed to be so much more than just a mere Queen. What exactly she was to them there was no way of Arioch of knowing, but she knew that the loss was something that effected them all in more deep and profound ways than she could know. Each seemed to be handling the loss differently - Valen seemed to be taking things the hardest of them all, noticeably down and seemingly depressed; Lynnira seemed to be more angry than anything, more focused on striking down the traitor than mourning at this point; Z seemed to be the one handling things the best, as he seemed to be nothing more than smiles and a sickening optimism since the moment she first laid eyes on him.<br>
<br>
Though they proved to be annoying, the knights were now her companions. She would have to learn how to get along with them and trust them at the very least. Such things were going to take time though, and they had only just met one another recently. As things stood now, she didn't trust any of these people, and would have rather left her back to a rabbit than them. There was a good chance things would remain that way until they proved themselves to be worthy of her trust otherwise. Valen had been right about one thing - if Z was going to be so optimistic he could be that way for all of them since it was clear that none of the others were. Well. . .it was hard to get a read on Everan as the man had been doing nothing but complaining about being in the sunlight all this time.<br>
<br>
They were now losing light though, and every footstep they took brought them closer and closer to the their destination. At the rate they were now moving, they would be there soon enough. Unless there were some reason that they needed to be moving any faster than they already were moving, she didn't see any point in rushing anymore than they already were. The town would be there in the next five minutes just as it would in the next twenty or thirty minutes. Unless some unforeseen catastrophe befell the town before they got there. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"It's not much further now, we shall be there soon,"</span> Arioch said, more to Valen than anyone else.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"No, I believe that will be all, if you run into magic users feel free to call me... the Elves are not to be underestimated."</span> Malak smirked, his gentle voice belying a bit of irritation <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Now if you will excuse me gentlemen, I have a slaughter to attend to, I will leave you to your meals" </span>Malak gestured to the numerous carcasses that the individuals had gathered over such a short time, the Warlock himself preferred food of a <i>lighter </i>texture, and he would be quite full soon. Malak turned on his heel, facing the direction where the remnants of the light felt the strongest and began in that direction, his dark robes sweeping over the grass as he walked away. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Burning down the forest would not be a good idea, besides, wouldn't you much rather rip apart those you find with your claws, hm? So much more fun."</span> Mallak turned, walking away from the fields and into the deep, vast forest, moving towards that little glimmer of light. The assassin was likely nearby, unless she had some other motive for coming and then departing from the group. In such a magical place, Malak's senses were dimmed, magic was everywhere, it was difficult to tell what was where, almost difficult to concentrate, as if a veil was over the forest. Malak moved with grace, though his form teemed with excitement, a slight drop in his polite facade as he walked, his pace growing more brisk though always staying around a quick walk. Malak slowed slightly as he distanced himself from his companions.<br>
<br>
The forest was quiet, untouched even in the darkness, as Malak drew further in Malak had an issue with feeling the direction of the pulsing light that lie deep within elvish lands, it was coming from somewhere in front of him, but that was all he could feel.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Ugh... so pure"</span> The Warlock groaned as he walked, his steps seeming to burn into the fresh grass that lay tall at his feet. The purity of the land disgusted him, being a being of corruption he could barely stand being in the forest, surrounded by such an untouched ecosystem... Malak allowed a small smile to slip onto his features, perhaps a little corruption was in order?<br>
<br>
Of course this gave Malak some wonderful ideas, here he was, entering a forest full of nubile young high elves, their elven blood running untouched through their veins, their souls untainted and mouthwatering... The warlock stopped for a moment, his expressions changing rapidly in an almost humorous manor for any nearby, from a small smile, to a smirk, then to an evil toothy grin as the thoughts dawned on him that indeed there was fresh nubile elves in the forest. Malak continued, that evil grin fresh on his lips as he went on, basking in the darkness that the king had been so kind as to bring forth. <br>
<br>
Malak took a couple of steps forward from where he was standing and lifted his hands , meeting them away from his body and chanting a couple of words<br>
<br>
The flames grew and took form, almost exactly in a similar manner as he had appeared, two smaller forms and a large one, taking the shapes of monstrous creatures, their forms hulking and large. Two canine creatures, their bodies looking similar to wolves, though seemingly half decayed, glistening bones showing from under the dark fur along their backs, their ribs showing through their bodies, and flames ushering from their maws. Hellhounds, Malak's favorite minions, the other was a tall humanoid, encased in black armor that resembled the fetishists of the south, the only part of it's body showing through it's wrapings and bindings a maw of sharp teeth, a hulking figure bound in black armor, it's shape not quite human, another of Malak's demon servants, on it's back was a huge metal basket, hinting the insidious purpose Malak had summoned them for. <br>
<br>
Malak smiled as his minions appeared when called, his smile turning softer upon the sight of his precious creations <b>"Hello my beauties"</b> The Warlock's voice was almost a purr, silently bending over to place a hand on one of the flaming hound's bare skull, running his gloved hand down it's bare vertebrae in an almost loving fashion. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Listen to to me my dear pets, In this forest lies a village of elves, and the object we are looking for, when my... companions cause their ruckus looking for this object, I want you to grab as many elves as you can, maidens and youths especially, and take them to the lab"</span> Malak relayed the orders to his minions, and as soon as he did they vanished, separating, the hounds vanishing into the trees, unleashing a hair-raising howl as they went, the huge armored beast itself bounding off into the woods and vanishing into shadows only moments later. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Be quick in your gathering, I will view the specimens later for approval." </span>The words left Malak's lips in a mumble<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">" mmh "</span> The warlock smiled briefly to himself and continued on his way, fairly aware that he was being watched. He didn't quite know what or who was watching him, but he could feel eyes on his form. Malak straightened from his kneeling state slowly, arching his back and stretching his arms out, hands showing themselves from under the robe and out of the elongated tattered sleeves for a moment before disappearing again inside, his left clad in a simple black glove, his right in a much more exotic looking gauntlet.<br>
<br>
Malak adjusted his hood, looking off in the direction that his minions had taken off in and began walking again, He could stave off boredom unless someone joined him, preferably one of the elves that made his company, or until he was able to use his magic to destroy or kill something.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">With his fingers still rubbing against the soil below him, Gandrian half paid attention to those leaving and those who werenâ??t, before realizing that not everyone was going and he was still left with one. It appeared like Xion was definitely going to stay, which was irritating, but he supposed that the Dragon had nothing else to do but to stalk him. Raising his head, he tilted it to the left and gazed over towards Malak, whom spoke about clawing someone, before leaving. The residue that the Warlock left made him blink, as the magic he could feel off of it was resoundingly painful. Elves were sensitive to changes in the atmosphere, and with the amount of disturbance a dark force was, it was traceable.<br>
<br>
Almost as if it took him time to respond, the knight slowly turned to face his gaze towards Xion and raised an eyebrow. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??He doesnâ??t tell me where it is, he just randomly talks to me. This isnâ??t a two way conversation.â?</span> he informed, gloved fingers tugging on the earring a few times. It proved to not come loose, and there didnâ??t appear to be any holes or breaks in the earring, nor was there a hole in the ear. The earring appeared to be melded to the flesh, making it hard to take it off or get rid of it without taking a good chunk of his ear with it.<br>
<br>
Standing up, he poked at the limb that was cooking over the fire with his toe, before turning around and moving towards a random direction. A river was nearby, and he desired to wash himself before dinnerâ??it was necessary and hygienic, after all. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??And it would do well for you not to torch all of the trees. If you destroy them, then whoâ??s going to lead me to the shard?â?</span> the silver-blue gazed back once, before leaving the camp site. Water trickled from rocks to rocks, soothing any wanderer around the area, luring them to take a nice dip to relax and cleanse.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff80bf"><i>~ â??You know, Annieâ?¦ the water is your territory. You donâ??t have to be shy in it. Come, take off your clothes! Let me help you!â? a soft laughter, coupled with prying fingers ~</i></span><br>
<br>
He slowly blinked once, as he shed the gloves and threw them against a rock that was half submerged in the water. Next came his pants, as soft fingers that should have been calloused from sword usage, pealed off the ties, before kicking them off onto the same rock. Water gently swayed against the clothes, washing away the blood that stained them. His shoes were toed off, before he dipped into the water and felt the cooling sensation take over his flesh.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000"><i>~ â??Are you all words and no actionsâ?¦Lord Volwrath?â? icy fingers that rubbed against his chest and sides, sliding like the trickle of water freezing fast than it could melt ~</i></span><br>
<br>
Gandrian blinked again, this time, with his entire body submerged in the water. Sometimes, he found himself receiving visions, and often times, he finds that he canâ??t differentiate if they were from the past or if they were possible futures. But some of them were situated so that it could have only been the past, despite his failing memory. Closing his eyes again, he listened hard to the flowing water, amplified by the pressure that soaked against his ears. The trees were talking, some complaining, some pleading. He zoned those out until the informational ones were heard.<br>
<br>
<i>The Elderâ??s Crystalâ?¦ deep in the Orange Fields, at the heart of Cam, there was another maze. In which, a vague description of a castle laid.<br>
<br>
The Elderâ??s Crystal was not an object.</i><br>
<br>
Suddenly, a ripple disturbed his vision, and the trees were distracted from their aid. Sea-green eyes snapped open, flashing a glow of Elvin magic, before he emerged from the water with a sigh. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??Shitâ?¦he better not have burned any treesâ?¦â?</span> the knight growled, thinking that perhaps the disturbance might have came from Xion disobeying his orders of not touching the trees around them. While Gandrian had killed a few, disturbing them while he was trying to soak information easily led them to a dead end as he was at now. Instead of bothering though, he decided to just leave Xion dwelling back at the camp and rested against a rock in the river. Sitting there nude, he just allowed the water to wash over him, as if waiting for something. Perhaps later, he wouldnâ??t return to the camp and just leave without the Dragon.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">" ' Lead me to the shard' my ass..." Xion muttered, hearing the tail end of waht Gandrian was saying about him burning the forest down as he took to the wing again and soared up high enough not to be spotted from the trees or the ground and began to make loftily, lazy circles around the forest peering down to see where things were.  He didn't see much though with the trees all in the damn way, Xion could make out pathways and various tangles of plants that seemed to be blocking the convenient way to the center of the so-called "maze" But he couldn't see into it even with his superior vision like there was some kind of magical field over the entire place that partially blocked out sensing anything on the ground from overhead.   That must really piss off the eagles and other raptors...   "Dammit, I can't find any clue of where to go other than to continue along straight ahead and follow the winding pathways." He said irritably and continued orbiting the forest they were getting into, growing increasingly more frustrated and annoyed with the area's ability to fool his eyes and magical senses. He culd feel the pulsations of the magic under him but couldn't pinpoint where they were coming from, just an irritating buzz of energy. It was like having someone ringing a gong in your ears every 5 minutes or so, you couldn't hear anything else for a while other than that blasted "ringing" sound.  <br>
<br>
"Damn this all to hell I'm going to burn down a good clearing in this forest just because it's annoying me now." He growled and took a sharp inhalation and found a ripe place full of saplings and young trees and circled down and prepared to 'bring the rain' in the form of a torrent of metal melting fire.  With that, a square mile of forest would ignite in boulder-meltingly hot fire coming from the sky as Xion had his fun. Maybe he could get lucky and 'accidentally' catch that damn Gandrian in it 'unknowingly'. Yeah that'd be a hoot and it'd get him some peace and less irritation for a while at least.  But it wasn't really that likely to happen, the dragon had marked where the human was and was avoiding torching that area to avoid pissing off their mutual contractor.  But maybe he'd roast a good community of elves along the way? That would be helpful in the end: no bloody arrows pecking down at you from the trees whenever you stopped to take a piss.<br>
<br>
Once he was done with his fun, he'd blur backto a human form and slip down through the trees to find Gandrian as the Dark King had told him to stay with the annoying moron.  "You know, nobody wants to see that." he said , alighting and sitting on the branch above the knight's head. "And yes I did burn a square mile of trees, I think I even got a few elves in it." He chuckled, sensing Gandrian's irritation.  Why shouldn't he irritate him? Gandrian was just as much of a pain in the ass as Xion was half the time so fair's fair in the end.  But It also meant that they probably wouldn't get along when a situation required it with the dragon's impulsive nature of destruction conflicting with the elf's nature of "taking it carefully".</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Valen moved silently alongside his comrades, not speaking much save for his expression earlier. The male walked straight, though his eyes were cast at the ground, his memory replaying the events in his head, the Queen's death, the king's victory, he wished, truly wished that he had been expecting Gandrian to turn on them, but instead he allowed the traitor to stab him in the back and then kill the queen. What he wished more was that Gandrian would have killed him instead of the queen, he would have been promptly defeated and the queen would have survived. Valen cought up with Brand as he stopped to wait for him, and patted the male on the head <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffffff">"Yes, we will Avenge the queen and return peace to our lands once again, I have no doubt about this, we will be victorious. "</span> Valen allowed his hand to rest on the youngest's head for a moment, a brotherly glint in his eyes as he smiled, the first since the queen had died, nodding in reply to the Elf's statement <span class="fixed-color" style="color:white">"Yes it is... Thank you for your kindness, you have my gratitude for accompanying us. " </span> Valen had protected the elven people for some time, holding the northwest as his territory. <br>
<br>
Valen took a couple steps away before a violent feeling in his chest caught his attention. Valen paused, covering his mouth as a small fit overtook him, starting with a simple ragged cough that grew worse over the couple seconds it lasted. Valen quickly turned around, turning away from his fellows. The coughing fit only lasted for a couple violent ones, and as Valen took his hand from his lips he noticed specks of blood on his hands, it was black. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:white">"I am Fine"</span> Valen spoke before anybody could ask, speaking to nobody in particular and wiping his hand covertly on his red scarf. <br>
<br>
The pain that had been growing in Valen's chest since the disaster worried him, he could feel something gnawing away at his soul. Valen subconsciously took a hand from his spear, feeling the throb from under his ribs right next to his heart, which beat a tad faster. The male swallowed loudly, looking down and taking his hand from his chest, rummaging through the sack he had on his shoulder and drawing out his pipe and a flint. Valen coughed once before bringing the pipe to his lips and inhaling the smoke from the smoldering tobacco, letting the smoke fill his lungs, easing that burning pain as he walked, the rush of sensation adding some lightness to his step as he closed his eyes. Valen exhaled the smoke forming a stream of dark smoke from his lips.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">There was a long pause for Brand, as he gazed over to Lynnira. At first, he mentally chuckled at being called a â??little oneâ??, as she wasnâ??t that much older than he was, but only smiled sweetly at her direction. When she further spoke though, his smiled thinned, before turning his gaze completely. Her spite was contagious, as many people who lost a loved one would tend to turn towards the anger and revenge. He would never say it aloud, but he wondered, if they were to have assumed one of them would betray the Queenâ?¦ would it have been Gandrian? Brand was an observer, and personality wise, he found it shocking that the most calm and perhaps purest of them had turned into the darkest. But just like water, Gandrian wasnâ??t just a gentle flow, but would mold the path before him to lead them into a different direction. But as it seemed, the path he led them down was dark and obscured with pain.<br>
<br>
When he felt a hand on his head, he turned to look down just fractionally to see the smile that was rewarded to him. The blonde returned it with vigor, knowing that avenging the Queen by killing the King was their goal. Briefly, he wondered why they thought he was so childish though, as he ruffled his own hair. Brand was the tallest of them, standing at six foot one, and perhaps the most destructive. But with his gentle nature and sealed lips, he supposed that was the image he gave off.<br>
<br>
Mind snapping off of what he was thinking, he hurried to Valenâ??s side. Before he was able to ask what was wrong though, the eldest knight muttered that he was fine, before beginning to smoke from his pipe again. He knew not of what was causing this illness, but he wondered if it was tied to the smoke that the other blonde inhaled. Pressing his lips together, he swayed from the subject and nodded his head, standing almost too close to the other male, as if to keep an eye on his health and would catch him if he fell. If only he had healing magic, as he wanted to ease the pain for their leader.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Do you thinkâ?¦â?</span> his voice trailed off, before seeing a large arch of leaves just a few meters before them. Golden leaves swirled around twisting vines, forming a gateway that seemed both inviting and ethereal at the same time. The Gates of Elzara, leading into the sanctuary of Cam. Grinning, he turned to face the others. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Weâ??ve made it~ see?â?</span> he declared, stating out the obvious. It was clear to see that he wanted to race towards the gates, but stayed bouncing beside Valen. Only Elvin-kin could command the door to open, so the vines were sealed tightly together, protruding thorns the closer they got to the gate doors. Magic veiled heavily around the area, glowing in an almost protective fashion.<br>
<br>
Gazing over his companions again, he noted that the Vampire appeared to have vanished. Everan continuously did that, coming in and out. It was strange, but he didnâ??t speak about it, as the third male of their group didnâ??t appear too enthusiastic to aid them. Frowning softly, he continued trekking ahead, as they knew that the Vampire would either go off and do his own thing, or perhaps come back whenever he found it convenient. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Shall we rest and restock in the town before we resume?â?</span> Brand asked, wondering if they were all strong enough. Together, the knights could create a strong enough light that would beacon them towards where the shard might be. Light found light, and if the knights couldnâ??t conjure enough energy to form the light to be stronger than the shard, then they would find nothing.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Hearing a sound and a voice, Gandrian slowly turned his head upwards and spotted the Dragon parched above him on a branch. From his position, he was given a direct sight of Xionâ??s crotch and the bulge that was naturally there. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bf40"><i>Ughâ?¦not exactly the sight anyone wants to see eitherâ?¦</i></span> his mind supplied, but the feeling of disgust wasnâ??t revealed on his features. Instead, the former knight just leered at the other maleâ??s crotch with a pointed look.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??Why, Captainâ?¦ you know the saying. He who protests the most~â?</span> the silver-blue was obviously making a lewd hint at the Dragon. There had been rumors that circulated within the Dark Army, but none had been confirmed. Some said that Gandrian would sleep with only the elite soldiers, be it male or female. Others said that he was the Kingâ??s bitch, dragged down like some dog to be used in any way and service the King. Those people were usually found drowned to death in the strangest ways. But even still, it was known that he was perhaps the strongest under the King, and perhapsâ?¦ his preferences didnâ??t need consent.<br>
<br>
Instead of pressing though, the silver-blue grabbed for his clothes and slipped them on, before getting out of the water. With a flick of his wrist, the water hat had soaked into his clothes and slicked him, evaporated and left the former knight dried completely. The eye-patch that had never been taken off since the murder of the Queen, was soaking wet, but like his clothes, it instantly dried.  <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??You are welcomed to join my bed at any time, Captain, but until then, I suggest we continue.â?</span> Eyes glowing softly in the night, he padded back towards the campsite nearby and ripped a piece of flesh off of the animalâ??s leg that had been roasting. Taking a bite, he leaned against one of the trees for a moment to rest. <br>
<br>
Soon, he pushed away from the tree and began to trek away from the campsite and down the winding roads of the fieldâ??s maze. He had had his fill and a nice bath, so it was time to get going. Gandrian knew that Xion would never pick him up on the offer, but it seemed almost part of his nature to tease; just as he enjoyed teasing Nekar, even if they had never done anything.<br>
<br>
Not noticing if the other male was following him or not, he paused as he saw the streak of burnt land, Elvin side irritated with the smell of charred wood. Seeing a speck that was another Elvin, he padded towards the female Elf. She was perhaps in her late hundreds, a warrior that was probably standing post. Her abdomen was seared, and as she coughed out blood and reached out for his helpâ??a fellow Elfâ??s helpâ??he knelt beside her. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??How pitifulâ?¦â?</span> gloved fingers grazed over her abdomen, before the molecules from the air began to collect. Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules smashed into each other, forming the simplest of Hydrogen bonds to form the substance of water.<br>
<br>
The water spread, almost as if he was healing her, as the female Elf had seen this form of healing arts. However, the final process of the healing turned a different direction, and as the water soaked into her from all angles as if she was absorbing the fluid, her flesh melted. Acidic waters that carried poisons slowly ate away at her like she was sugar dipped in water, tearing away bit by bit. Her last vision was of Gandrian smiling innocently and proudly, almost as if he was carefree and had done something that he was going to be praised for. In his mind, he had helped herâ?¦ended her suffering and struggle in the life of the pain she was in.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Xion was sitting in the tree leaning against the trunk, so how Gandrian saw that was beyond him and probably screamed to anyone else that Gandrian was probably Bi or Gay.  That didn't bother Xion though, for he himself was straighter than a steel plate.  Besides women had a natural grace adn beauty to them that all males lacked and as a covetous creature, Xion liked beauty for it's own aesthetic value.  The lewd comment sent shivers up the dragon's spine and made him stand up and pace back and forth to get the chills out, displaying an effortless balance that most elves themselves had.  When Gandrian was dry, Xion got out of his tree and joined him as they both headed into the maze. "Being stupid aside, we should try to get along until we can find those damn shards then we can be rid of each other's company for good." He said to the 'leader' in the most civil tongue he could produce despite his constant irritation.  In his mind, it would be better to grudgingly work together toward a goal than to fight the entire way and end up losing something important to those stupid do-gooders.  But when they found the swath of destruction Xion had caused, the dragon would only chortle at the actual damage it's wrought. It made him feel joyous.<br>
<br>
"Well well it looks like I may've missed one." he said, walking over to stand beside Gandrian to see the Elven woman's expression of surprise and dismay moments before she died at Gandrian's little hand.  "YOu know, you should've just let her suffer until she bled out. That's all they deserve." Xion said sharply with a growl, he'd had enough of fighting elves in his life to last two more lifetimes.  The only one he'd cared about was Lyra and Corona's mother and she was a long way away from there in a different land all together.  Living as an outcast for her fall-from-grace of being a paladin, a knight to carrying half-dragon children sired by a terrifying tyrant of a beast.  The term "care" was loose though, it simply meant Xion wouldnt' kill her as long as she took care of those two little girls.  "Come on let's get going. Maybe we can find someone that's only mildly charred and wring some answers out of them." he said and continued along the pathway through the devastation.<br>
<br>
Within a few moments of exploration, he'd find what he was looking for in another elven woman that was about the same age as the last one, having dodged getting totally incinerated but was still unable to walk due to her legs being badly burned.  "Well well another one." He said and walked over, seeming to offer the woman a hand.  "come on, we'll get you somewhere safe and take care of those wounds." He said to her, the woman hadn't previously heard his other comments due to distance and thus didn't know howh bad a situation she was really in, made plain by the relieved expression she had.<br>
<br>
"My thanks. But why are you here? Travelers?" she asked warily as he helped her up giving a shoulder to lean on to take some of the burden off her injured legs.<br>
<br>
"You could say that, we're actually looking for something and have a lead that it might be int his area." He said pleasantly.<br>
<br>
The woman nodded. "Well we could go to Cam, if it's still there. I'll guide you there if you would be so good as to carry me there, it hurts to walk." she said, Provoking Xion to blatantly piggyback her like she was al ittle girl which made her blush in surprise. "Thanks... it's that way." she pointed toward the city.  <br>
<br>
Xion cut a momentarily glance back at Gandrian and smirked faintly as a way of saying: there now we have a guide and lead to where it could possibly be.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Seeing how â??niceâ?? Xion was being to the Elvin made him want to snarl, but all he did was leave a neutral expression over his features. For a brief moment, he wanted to extinguish that smirk, but the thought of harming the other male caused his earring to spark again, and the shock zapped his ear hard enough to prevent that idea. Visibly wincing, he huffed, before stepping up beside the two.<br>
<br>
Steadying himself, he offered her the brightest of smiles. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??Hi! Forgive my fatherâ??s rudeness; my nameâ??s G, and this beastly man here is Mimi~â?</span> the silver-blue said with all innocence, leaning in and giving Xion the largest and wettest kiss on the cheek. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??Itâ??s alright, daddy, I still love ya, even if you have a funny name~â?</span> with that, he turned to the Elvin woman and smiled sweetly, asking for her name. For Xion to interrupt and try to change their story now, had a very high possibility in drawing her suspicions, as many things had to be looked upon if given a second glance.<br>
<br>
If he was expected to play along, then he was going to make it hard for Xion as well. With his childish looks, he almost passed for someone younger than the Captain when he was â??cheerfulâ??. It burned a little inside to be smiling so much, and if he were to jab at himself, heâ??d say that his cheeks hurt from smiling. Acting completely carefree like how he remembered a former teammate to be, he continued to walk besides them, following her lead to wherever she pointed. The maze continued to grow thicker with forestry, the color of orange and yellow glowing around them. It was night by estimates of time, but with the eclipse, it always felt like it was night.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Licking the booze from his lips, Naolin tilted his head here and there, wondering what he was going to do for the rest of the day. It was like he truly thought heâ??d do something besides drinking for the day, and while it might have been the plan, he usually found himself smashed and talking to the chair leg. Shadow stayed hidden for the moment, not speaking as he usually didnâ??t, and just watching over the necromancer.<br>
<br>
The barmaid shook her head but left him be, as she knew she needed the money, and Naolin was made of nothing but pure money. Well, perhaps he might have been powerful, as he had defended the area a few times, but she wouldnâ??t place her moneyâ??s bet on his victory if he was always drunk; it was a hard moral thing to do for any normal person with common sense. Pouring him another cup when he asked for it, she sighed and moved to clean up a recently empty table.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/9918/deepwatertavernsz5.jpg" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">â??Havanaâ??</a> was a small tavern that was situated in the edge of a wasteland, deep in within the Kingdom of Lassadar and nearly at the tip of a large cliff. The King of Darkness abandoned this area when Queen Cecilia had been killed, so it was safe in the fact that no one cared for a wasteland that had nothing but dust and death. Materials were shipped in, and even then, it was hard to live in the murky atmosphere. It was the area that mainly humans lived, and since they were seen as such weak beings, they were left for entertainment and not worth ruling over.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??I think someone drank my boozeâ?¦â?</span> Naolinâ??s voice suddenly came through, as the blonde gazed down at his cup and shook it a few times. He had just finished his drink, but he was shaking it upside-down as if he didnâ??t understand why only a droplet escaped the upturned cup.</div>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">The High Elf did her best to ignore the annoying, bouncing, bubbly, overly joyful Z as she walked alongside the eldest knight. Valen was quiet, more of a somber fellow. It was clear that he was shouldering a lot right now, and that it was weighing  The contrast between the two of them was like night and day, polar opposites in every way from what she had seen of them thus far. Lynnira worried her a bit, as she seemed to be the most unstable of them all. No, perhaps not unstable, but the one most likely to fly into a blind rage and do. . .destructive things. Her power was fire, and she appeared to be proficient in it's use. Arioch did not what to think about what they would do or how they would even begin to stop her if she lost control of herself. Well, there were a few ways to stop her but none of those seemed to pleasant, or safe, when she thought about them. Rather than continuing to dwell on the matter, she turned her attention to the structures ahead of her. The Gates of Elzara, the entrance to the city of Cam.<br>
<br>
As the only pure blooded Elf, and the only one who lived her life in the Elven Lands, she was the only person here able to open the gates and grand the weary travelers entrance into the city. She reached out a gloved hand and gently touched the door. Her lips slowly began to move, her native tongue slipping from between them. Slowly, she stepped back and the former general watched with her new companions as the vines receded and opened before them, granting them entrance into the city. Arioch looked to the others and opened her mouth to speak. Suddenly, her voice was gone, and the expression on her face changed. Slowly, the color drained from her face and she seemed to trip on nothing.<br>
<br>
In her mind, she could hear it loud and clear, the voice of the Earth. More specifically, she could hear the voice of the Forest. The things it said to her unnerved her. There was something here, something in the forest. A dark presence that was moving and slowly destroying whatever it touched. Trees were dying, and their painful wails assaulted her senses. It was too much, way too much to take all at once. She slowly raised a hand to her head, massaging one of her temples. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"We should venture within now. The gates will not be staying open forever,"</span> Arioch said.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff"> "I do not think that time is on our side. There is a dark presence somewhere in the forest. It could be just a demon, or, it could be those you spoke of before. Whichever it may be, we are ill prepared to face it head on."</span>[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lassadar.<br>
<br>
This place made her sick to her stomach. There were so many evils, so many atrocities committed here that even the land itself had become corrupt with darkness. Then again, the lands of Lassadar had always been like this, so long as she could remember. Such a phrase was one often used by humans, but to her ears, it meant little coming from their mouths. When she said that, it really meant something. Why? Because Ranis Zaberisi was a dragon. Make no mistake though, she was no mere dragon. Ranis was the current crown ruler of the Kingdom of the North, the Lands of Ice, the Dragon's Keep. It mattered not what name you gave it, she was the Queen, and that was something that she took pride in. Her people were a withdrawn race, hidden away in lands so treacherous that no being other than a dragon even dared to brave the hostile conditions and step foot within the kingdom itself. Not that they would be welcome there anyway. Her people were neutral, and didn't like to be dragged into the affairs of the world. <br>
<br>
Ranis was an eccentric though. Humans fascinated her. So, she left her Kingdom and set out to learn more about the world through first hand experiences rather than through books, scrolls, and other documents. On her journey, she met and made friends with many humans. The most special of which was the Queen of Light. She and Cecilia were close, much closer than the Dragon Queen had been to anyone in her own kingdom. Love? Yes, there was love there. In a romantic sense? Perhaps. Ranis wasn't familiar with things like love or romantic feelings. The death of the Queen at the hands of the traitor hit her hard, much harder than even the death of her parents hit her. Ever since, the Queen changed. She roamed the land aimlessly, destroying dark forces she came across. Taverns? Taverns had become her favorite place to visit. Drinking was entertaining, though near useless as it took so much for her to actually get a buzz. Still, it helped her forget her pain for a while, and allowed her to connect with humans doing something that most humans seemed to enjoy doing.<br>
<br>
Havana was the name of the tavern where she had been resting for some time now, quietly watching as the young man at the bar agitated the bar maid. There was something strange about the fellow, strange in a good way. The Queen decided that she would join him for a drink, maybe have a friendly chat with him. The story he told of the knights and the death of Cecilia left a bad taste in her mouth, what better way to get rid of it than drown it out with alcohol? The human at the bar certainly would have told her that there was no better way!<br>
<br>
After claiming the seat to his right, the Queen dug into the sleeve of her yukata and extracted a small black pouch. She extracted from it a pair of gold coins and placed them on the bar. Together, they were worth way more than what she was about to buy, but money was not something that she worried about. She was a Queen after all. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000bf">"Three bottles of your strongest,"</span> she said with a smile. No matter what she was brought, it wouldn't be near enough to get her drunk. Not like the man beside her. Her golden optics slowly stole a glance at the young man, taking in his features. The first thing she noticed was the choker he wore around his neck. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000bf">"Are those dragon scales,"</span> she asked. The question was a pointless one. Any dragon would know the sight of the scales of a dragon from just a glance. Still, she awaited his answer[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Resting his head against the counter, he pouted as he realized the booze was gone from his cup, and though he wanted another drink, he had promised Shadow that he wouldnâ??t drink pass twenty cups. Sadly, this was his twenty-fifthâ?¦ but that was alright, because heâ??d just put it off as the barmaid giving him five extra for his moneyâ??s worth. Of course, Shadow was just in the corner where there was barely any light, meaning the embodied spirit could see clearly how many the other male drank. But that was besides the point in Naolinâ??s mind.<br>
<br>
When someone sat next to him and ordered some of the strong drinks, he turned his head and gazed at the woman. She wasnâ??t the type that heâ??d instantly go â??Iâ??d tap that!â? at, but she <i>was</i> alluring in a sense. Her question about the leather around his neck made his hand slip around the side and rub at his neck though. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Yeahâ?¦Dragon scalesâ?¦â?</span> grinning suddenly, he scooted his stool closer towards her, so that they were as close as allowed by the wooden chairs.<br>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">His confirmation of her suspicious only roused her curiosity. Dragons could be difficult creatures. To obtain anything from them meant that an individual had either gained their trust or they had, somehow, been able to slay the dragon. There was a strange aura about this man, something that went beyond him. Perhaps it was he whom that spiritual presence was attached to? That made him all the more interesting in the eyes of the Dragon Queen. Could he have been powerful enough to slay a dragon? Perhaps. He seemed easy going enough, the kind of person who could attract the attention of a dragon like herself - one who was interested in humans. Ranis had become so withdrawn into her own mind that she almost didn't notice how close the man was to her now.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000bf">"Stop that now,"</span> Ranis said, playfully pushing his shoulder. His flirting was welcome, obviously something that she was taking kind to. Then again, as a dragon, such comments that stroked her ego made her happy. She was beautiful, she was good looking, and she was powerful. Compliments, flirting, those were welcome thing. Touching and anything physical? That was a whole separate matter. As the bottles were placed in front of her, she took the first and examined it. She knew not what it was, but she knew that it smelled strong. Ranis took the glass she had been given and filled it, then, she turned and filled Naolin's glass as well. Ranis quickly emptied the contents of her glass into her mouth, and sighed with content. Because of the feeling it had going down rather than it affecting her.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000bf">"Ranis Zaberisi,"</span> she said plainly. The look in her eye told a different story though. She was studying him, his features, and searching for some sign of recognition from him. Would he know her name? Would anyone else here recognize the name? Even if they did, she doubted that any of them would care. This was the middle of a no-man's-land, a place where the poor and downtrodden resided. The people, the environment, the creatures that stalked this area were hostile. One wrong word, one wrong move, and trouble could come pouring down on you harder than the rain could fall. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000bf">"Would you be so kind as to give me your name as well,"</span> she said as she turned to refill her glass.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper">For a good moment, Naolin seemed to just ignore what the woman in front of him was saying. Rather, he was staring beyond her, gazing at the spirits that sat by this lady, waving at him. Smiling, he waved back, resting his chin against his new companionâ??s shoulder. The necromancer had a habit of becoming too friendly in the first five minutes, so it wasnâ??t something new to him or those that knew him. Just a bit to the side, the barmaid shook her head, before leaving Ranis with the drink to tend to others.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Do you watch over her?â?</span> he asked, as if Ranis wasnâ??t right there, asking for his name. The spirits werenâ??t giggling masses of girls, but they were formless. He just had an eye for previous genders, that was all. One of them answered him, telling him that they watched over their Queen. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Isnâ??t she dead?â?</span> Naolin muttered, his drunken eyes roaming over them, noting that they were former dragons. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Ohâ?¦ so sheâ??s <i>that</i> oneâ?¦â?</span> he then pulled back and nodded, as if understanding.<br>
<br>
Parting his lips, he was about to answer her, when a voice from the side muttered at him. Turning his head, he waved at the corner where there appeared only darkness from the lack of light. What appeared like a human within the shadows made a motion, before it was given the finger from the blonde. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Sheâ??s just asking my nameâ?¦â?</span> blue eyes rolled, before he turned his gaze back and smiled at her with strangely white teeth for a drinker. In fact, it was odd that he could be so drunk and have his words un-slurred. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??My name is Naolin, your Highness. What brings you to this little establishment?â?</span></div>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">This man grew more and more interesting as time went on. Ranis emptied her glass once more as Naolin conversed with the spirits beside her. It was impossible for the woman to suppress her laughter as he bickered with a spirit hidden away on the other side of the room. She was unable to converse with the spirits herself, but she was aware of their presence here. And unlike the rest of the people in the bar, she knew that he wasn't crazy. No, this man, Naolin as he finally introduced himself, was quite far from it. There were many things about him that made the Dragon Queen most curious. That earned him a smile from her.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff">"What need is there for such formalities in a place such as this? I'm merely here to enjoy a drink, and to rest as I've grown weary from my travels," </span>she said, once again filling her glass and emptying it. A Queen she may have been, but formalities were one thing that she had had enough of after twenty thousand years. She was a Queen, and a person, and so long as she was respected, she cared not how she was addressed. Ranis turned in her seat so that she was facing Naolin. Her elbow came to rest on the bar, while her free hand took hold of the bottle she had begun drinking from. She raised it to her lips and took a swig. Her golden optics remained fixed upon Naolin, her smile slowly widening.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff">"A Necromancer? Quite rare these days Naolin. It's a most impressive skill. I've known a handful of individuals who attempted to learn the art but failed to do much more than increase their own spiritual awareness,"</span> she said, taking another swig from the bottle. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff"><i>I'm being watched over am I? I wonder who could be following me around still. Old bodyguards? Soldiers? Maybe old companions that passed on? Those are such depressing thought's. . .</i></span> Her eyes momentarily left Naolin and focused on the shadow back in the corner for a moment, then returned to the man before her. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff">"You are being watched over as well I see."</span>[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Away from Naolin and Ranis sat a figure that was half shaded by the  atmosphere of the Havara tavern.  Renate was leaning back in her seat with her booted feet resting upon the surface of the table before her, taking in the people around there.  She'd been here a few times in the past as she wandered through the countryside, taking jobs and tracking down leads on an investigation she was on.  She'd met Naolin a few times and the two were drinking buddies to say the least.  But right now she was more interested in that woman that was talking to him at the moment; there was soemthing about her that troubled half of the brunette.  The dark, Demon half of her was screaming to attack the dragon-in-human-form due to the nature of demons but she was half..something else despite looking human.  <br>
<br>
Renate didn't really even know what she was, she just thought she was at least half human; that's how she was raised by her mother until she disappeared.  The woman in question was tall with very long dark brown hair that seemed to spike up in any direction it wanted, bound at the nape of the neck into a rough ponytail.  But she decided to get up and greet her friend just to get a reaction adn stood from her seat and stalked over.<br>
<br>
"HEY NAOLIN&lt; BUDDY!" she exclaimed, glomping into him from behind and grabbing the necromancer ina  strong bear hug.  "It's been a while" she said and released him. "Who's your friend? Don't tell me you got anther woman to buy you drinks again." Renate said jokingly.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Upon hearing that Ranis knew of Shadow, he leaned in closer to her and did an extremely loud shushing sound. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Shhhâ?¦heâ??s not watching over me, heâ??s my stalker.â?</span> the necromancer joked, completely foregoing the chance to affirm or deny that he was a necromancer. She could believe he was, or perhaps, sheâ??d conclude later that he was someone in training. Naolin almost hated his heritage, and so, he rarely delved into it, nor did he speak about it to anyone.<br>
<br>
Before he was able to respond further though, a pair of strong arms wrapped around him in a firm and strong bear-hug. Normally, any sane or even drunken man would have attempted a slight struggle, but instead, he just allowed it. However, instead of pushing away once he was released, the blonde instantly turned around and face-planted himself into two mounts of flesh.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Why, hello there~â?</span> Naolin cheered against flesh, nuzzling the large breasts and pressing his nose between the natural cleavage. Her skin was soft and smooth, and he could just lick the top of her breasts all over, if he wasnâ??t already drooling down her breasts and probably ruining her shirt. In the corner, Shadow twitched, as if he wanted to spring forward and take out what looked like a threat that just ambushed the necromancer. But instead, he remained there as it looked like Naolin had no trouble being friendly with the brunette woman.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Lynnira was tired of walking. So very tired. Her legs screamed at her and the tightness of her calf muscles gave her a very slight limp. Usually this was no problem with walking. But the addition of emotional pain and slight exhaustion for lack of sleep. Too much crying for her mother...s. Both now dead.<br>
<br>
But she sucked it up. Straightened her shoulders and forced herself not to frown. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"We're here eh?"</b></span> She bit back another sorrowful expression. Why did this place make her so.. so sad? She felt unwanted, hated, feared.. at least by the Earth. Well, she knew her powers might make it not want her there, she might burn it all to the ground, right? A pain hit her, of course, emotional. Everything had always been scared of her. Always.<br>
<br>
Though, she laughed it off. Possibly causing some odd looks from her companions. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"We ought to get inside, like Elfie said. I would feel terrible if this 'dark' stuff came about and I burnt these trees down."</b></span> She half jested. There was an urge to burn down the orange glow about her, it invaded her vision and told her to leave. It was hostile to her, as she was to it in nature. It was almost like every step she took towards the Elven city it pushed her back more. She felt weak suddenly. She swayed in her spot and had to catch her balance. Quickly, she played it off as hunger. A soft blush touched her face. Waving a hand, she quickly stepped closer to the entrance. That aura of distrust and hostility washed over her, but she kept her face sturdy and fought on. Stepped next to the vine-gate. <br>
<br>
With a final push she stepped inside. The struggle didn't end there. No, physical pressure made her steps heavy and hard. Making her breath heavy, as it did the night smoke filled her lungs as her family burnt to the ground around her..</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gerrit grew bored quickly of the random people speaking about nothing.<br>
<br>
As he lay on his tummy, head muzzle buried between two thick, furry paws he yawned. An itch started on his neck, and rolling onto his back with a loud thump, he scratched it. Even as he kicked himself in the face to relieve the irritation in his fur, he looked graceful. Of course. How could he not? He was a giant beast with rippling muscle with a thick fur. He swore he caught someone curled up against him the other night. A low growl touched his throat. A slight homophobic, he assumed it was a male, which made his stomach curl. The elf woman was too stuck up for that bullshit.<br>
<br>
With a roll, he was on his feet. Looking about cautiously. Something had moved. His eyes were wide, gleaming a purple-blue, his fangs bore and long nails digging into the ground. A soft drip of saliva furled from him. <b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#800080">"Something changed in the forest."</span></b> He was a-tune with nature. He was a beast. The rumble of what was the gates opening had caused him to sober up. Though, he was unable to tell which direction, or even what it was! That angered him. <br>
<br>
With a twist of his head, he sniffed the air.<br>
<br>
The sickly scent of flowers and other foresty things muffled his senses. <b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#800080">"Fucking Elves..."</span></b></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The elven woman just perked a brow and looked between them, suspecting it wasn't the case. "You have to be adopted then. You don't match up with your light hair and eyes compared to his dark hair and red eyes." She pointed out and just tried to smile again through er pain. "But that's always good. My name is Amara." She said as they continued along, following her finger points or verbal directions.  Xion wasn't having a problem carrying her but Gandrian was starting to get on his nerves and he was about to lash out and kick the knight in the gut for his action. It was sending chills up his spine and back down, the contact irritated him beyond belief as only his daughters were the ones allowed to do that without repercussions.  "He's more like a parasite I found in the woods one day, I can't seemto be rid of him." Xion said coldly and thought for a moment noticing Amara's confusion clearly written on her face.  "Would you care to take him off my hands when we get to Cam?" he asked her with a sly smirk at Gandrian knowing it'd pain the knight to just hear that.<br>
<br>
"Well maybe, he's certainyl cute enough." the elven woman said after a few minutes of thought then paused.   "wait, theres a trap here thath would teleport you to the othersideo f the forest adn make you have to turn around again." she said and cautiously directed them around it, a clearing of slightly glowing pyramidal stones. <br>
<br>
"That would've been a pain to deal with." Xion said, throwing a pinecone into the are and watching it vanish. "Hey boy, go test that out for me." he said to Gandrian, considering kicking him into the area himself just for amusement.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??My purposeâ?¦purposeâ?¦to find himâ?¦himâ?¦must help his causeâ?¦only wayâ?¦only way Iâ??ll have a purposeâ?¦â?</span> his lips moved quickly, repeating that phrase over and over againâ?¦ He tossed and turned on the prickly grass beneath his slender frame, the hood of his cloak covering all but his moving lips. The ground shook softly beneath him, the roots of nearby trees stirring, the stem from the rose around his left arm extending, raking its thorns across his cold flesh. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??My destinyâ?¦must fulfill itâ?¦must help himâ?¦â?</span> blood trickled down his arm slowly, staining the left sleeve of his green cloak. The smell of the demonâ??s blood had awoken Firuâ??en, his tiger. White ears perked up, his golden eyes switching to its master. A low growl slipped from its mouth as it rose to its feet. Firuâ??en pawed at the cloaked being, tapping at his bleeding arm trying to bring him to his senses. <br>
<br>
Firuâ??en began to whimper softly as Tsuâ??Ro failed to respondâ?¦ He suddenly roared, its powerful voice filled with sorrow, as yet another master of his has died. Shooting up from his trance Tsuâ??Ro turned to his tiger a small smile curving his lips. The ground ceased its shaking, as the stem of his rose dug deeper into his skin. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">â??Are you alright Master?â?</span> Firuâ??en asked telepathically, worried golden eyes staring up at his master. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??Iâ??m fine dear Firuâ?¦â?</span> the demon replied as he stood up off the ground sniffing the cool night air around him. The scent of a dark presence mixed with the scent of elven magic filled the air. So much evil surrounded these lands ever since the queen fell. It was such a shame to see the land rot the way it was. <i>â??Elven magic?â?</i> Tsuâ??Ro thought as he pulled began to follow the scent. <i>â??Perhapsâ?¦perhaps heâ??ll be thereâ?¦.â?</i> The demon thought as he started toward the scent.<br>
<br>
It took him no more than ten minutes to find his way to the Elf who had been using its magic. The gate was open, with Brand, Valen, Lynnira, and Arioch in his sights. There he wasâ?¦the one heâ??d been searching for. The one he had admired so much. How would he approach him after so many years? No words could describe the amount of emotions currently flowing through Tsuâ??Ro at the moment, as fear of being shunned by his former companions clouded his judgment.  <span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">â??Master Tsuâ??Roâ?¦you have done nothing wrong. Why would they shun you?â?</span> Firuâ??en asked. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??I have a charred passed my dear Firuâ?¦I fear such lies from the King has been planted inside of their mindsâ?¦â?</span> Tsuâ??Ro admitted sadly. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">â??You can always pass as an injured traveler in need of aidâ?¦.â?</span> The tiger suggested. The demon thought as he stood in the shadows. He couldnâ??t bare the thought of Brand not knowing who he wasâ?¦especially since he traveled so far and long to see him. But perhaps the tiger was right. Maybe he could get him alone.<br>
<br>
Finally Tsuâ??Ro stepped out of the shadows, holding onto his bleeding arm as he slowly approached his former companions. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??Excuse meâ?¦â?</span> he began as he approached the group his voice soft the words rolling of his tongue. Blood dripped from his sleeves onto the grass beneath, the pain keeping his mind focus as it had the tendency to wander.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">"Do you know of where I can fix this?"</span> he questioned his voice smooth like silk...almost feminine in a way. Firu'en sat beside him, looking up at the travelers.</div>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ranis could not help but giggle watching as things unfolded before her. Naolin was an amusing man. His reply to her question was totally unexpected, which was perhaps why it was so funny. The humor he exhibited reminded her of a certain young knight, always ready with a smile and optimism despite being in the most bleak of situations. That boy could smile in even the worst of situations, and was always ready to give his companions and those rallied around them hope. If not for his words, she probably wouldn't be where she was now. The dragon could not help but wonder what he and the other knight's were up to now. Somehow, she felt that she would be meeting them soon enough. Each had a common mission in mind, so it was only natural that their paths would cross. Wasn't it?<br>
<br>
The woman that approached the two of them, or more specifically, Naolin, seemed to be quite familiar with him. Just as she was able to sense her true nature as a dragon, Ranis was able to recognize the other side of her. The demon half that lie underneath the surface. Ranis had no ill intent towards the young woman though, and offered her only a smile as she spoke. Courtesy and kindness even in the fact of those who intended to bring you harm - the ways of the diplomat. So long as she was not attacked, she would remain civil. That was all there was to it.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000bf">"Ranis Zaberisi, a pleasure to meet you. Why don't you sit down and join us? After your friend here. . .contains himself," </span>Ranis said, trying to contain her laughter. Seeing the way that Naolin was so quick to latch onto this person and plant his face right into her chest. . .it was funny. It was just. . .funnier than it should have been. Judging from the way that she approached him though, Ranis suspected that she didn't mind what was happening, but then again, there was always a chance that Naolin would be flying into the corner to meet his 'stalker' soon. Her eyes narrowed in anticipation and she took yet another swig of the drink.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Malak grimaced when he smelled smoke, indeed, the dragon had scorched an area of the forest, which did far more than irritate the warlock <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Stupid beast"</span> he hissed, turning around and scowling, he would need to hurry. <br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0000ff">"Whatever it was it came from over here" </span><br>
<br>
Malak glanced to his side, watching as two elves appeared from the foliage, freezing in their tracks when the taint of his power hit him. There was a male and a female. The elves released a gasp at the same time, their eyes wide and locked on Malak's form, his dark power washing over them, filling their bodies and souls with an icy dread. The male quickly pulled an arrow from his quiver, preparing it and aiming at Malak, who stayed his distance <br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0000ff">"Halt creature, state your business in this sacred wood"</span> The little elf strained to avoid stuttering, he had never run into a warlock before, then again, Malak was unique, the last true warlock to curse the lands was his teacher, and that was well over two hundred years before Malak even found his most prized medallion. <br>
<br>
Malak smirked, letting his aura wash over the two elves, the male was armed with a bow, the female a slim blade, they were hunters from their appearance, Malak's spell must have not reached the city, which was a good thing, in the destruction caused by the dragon's little romp, Malak's signature would go well ignored to many elves in their homes. The elves were young, perhaps having never seen a being like the one who stood before them, if their wide eyes. The boy released the arrow he had nocked, the projectile flying true through the air, though missing by only inches thanks to the trembling hand of the archer in question. Malak moved quickly enough to ensure the arrow missed, his hands leaving his robe, weaving an intricate symbol through the air <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"..... ....... ..... ....... ..."</span> He whispered dark and baleful words, gathering taint from the air around him before stretching his hand out to face the elves as they turned to flee. <br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Neemah" </span><br>
<br>
The final word of the incantation was uttered, and dark energy gathered around Malak's hand, seven tendrils bursting forth, thick ropes of black energy that spiraled through the air, terminating in the heads of demonic serpents, which latched onto the elven archer, several-inch long fangs piercing his form and pumping venom into his veins, the creature died more or less instantly, slumping to the ground <br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0080ff">"W-what *are* you?!" </span><br>
<br>
The elven girl, having witnessed her companion simply die in a shock of black magic was unable to move, her muscles locked in horror as the warlock finished the boy off, the serpents extending from his sleeve locking onto his neck and tearing his throat out before ripping his frail body to pieces, splashing her with his blood. The serpents core into the boy, their fanged maws cutting him apart and spreading him in large pieces across the clearing. Malak grinned and took another step towards the girl <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Such a beautiful little creature, aren't you, so fresh and young"</span> <br>
<br>
The girl finally managed to stumble backwards, falling down as the warlock approached her, her brain screaming at her to scramble and run, she was overtaken with his aura, the ungodly cold that she felt numbing her mind. Malak smiled, noticing that the frail creature was trembling like one of the many leaves in the trees above as he approached her, his steps slowing in pace as he loomed over the pathetic creature, a fanged grin appearing on his lips from under the dark hood, the evil green eyes focusing on his new prey.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000"> "Don't worry my dear... it will be all over soon..."</span> Malak loomed over the girl, who by then had lost all color to her face, looking up at the nearly demonic smile before her. Malak leaned down, the gloved fingers of his left hand wrapping around her slender throat before he lifted her into the air, giving her a good view of the warlock's face as he licked his lips like an animal would before a feast. Malak showed her the back of his right hand, letting her watch as the artifact he wore awakened, the piercing eye opening and the red lines coursing through the gauntlet.  With a final smile Malak went in for the kill, plunging the fingers of the gauntlet into her chest, watching the dark power coursing through her body as she withered in his arms, her veins turning black as the life was sucked from her form before Malak was finally done.<br>
<br>
Malak dropped the lifeless body of the female elf, smiling to himself cheerfully as the energy from her life-force coursed through him, giving him a much needed boost of energy. He even looked rejuvenated, the pure life force having restored any strength he lost. The male smiled, licking his lips and sighing in an unpleasantly satisfied manner "Delicious" he cooed, turning again towards where he felt his "Comrades" had gone.<br>
<br>
Once his business was concluded Malak absorbed his aura, erasing his magical footprints for the time being, more elves were likely to appear soon, he would lay low until he was needed, avoid future conflict.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bf40"><i>You're just asking for it...</i></span> the knight sneered in his mind, but his face held the serene and smiling image. While he had meant to tug at the other's leg a bit, he supposed he should have expected for Xion to come back at him with something equally annoying. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">"But how can I ever leave by beloved father? He acts tough, but he's really a softy inside."</span> he 'gravely' informed, before being told to go test out the teleportation stones for Xion. It was then that he bit down on his bottom lip hard, facing away from the two so that Amara wouldn't suspect anything.<br>
<br>
Gandrian was the General of the Dark Army, the highest rank and literally just under the King in command rank... he had worked hard for that, and it wasn't just the killing of the Queen that had led him to where he was. It burned slightly to be ordered around, but unless they wanted to be found out by the Elvin women, then he needed to play the part. While it was possible to find Cam and enter it without her, it would be easier to have someone to 'hide under' while they were traveling through the city. After all, any newcomers were highly suspicious, especially an Elf and a Dragon together.<br>
<br>
Walking up to the area that was slightly marked by the pyramidal stones, he gazed around it a bit. The path that they were on was the area that Xion had burnt, so they saw a clear view of at least a good two to three miles, at the least. But the magic had protected this small section, and the stones were still active; as they had saw with the pinecone. However, that was if one stepped <i>into</i> the area that was surrounded by the stones. Just barely five yards into the area with trees and bushes wouldn't kill, so he gazed back at the Captain and placed a foot out at an angle, as if he was going to side-step the field and say 'And...?'.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">"Sorry, but I guess I <i>will</i> fly solo. I'm sure <i>you'd</i> understand?"</span> giving a less innocent and more twisted smile, he re-angled his foot. With a small wave to Xion, he stepped into the area within the pyramidal stones and vanished completely. Gandrian found it convenient that the area was there, as now, he had an excuse to say why they got separated... mainly for him to just get Xion off of his back. Landing on the other side, he turned and began to dash with speed towards the center again, eyelids fluttering as he sought to get directions from the trees and wind. Scent was another thing he had, and he could smell the stench of burnt land. That would lead him towards a general direction of where Xion was, so he would avoid that area. Having a guide would be helpful, but as an Elf alone, he wouldn't be suspected of much in an Elvin city.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Valen stopped, the motions the elf went through said something bad happened, Valen felt something was off too, though his sensation was nowhere as clear, a sinking feeling in his stomach, distracting from the pain for a moment before fading.<br>
<br>
"I feel it too... though I have never felt it before, it is unlike any other force of darkness we have ever faced" Valen of course perceived the presence in a different way, there was an unnatural presence in the air, he had spent many years patrolling here, helping the elves and defending this sector from threats... something was wrong, though Valen wasn't able to determine what... he remembered the sensation, but he couldn't remember from what. "We should tread carefully"<br>
<br>
Valen himself walked through the vines after they parted, passing effortlessly. through the gates despite the pain he felt, lowering his spear a little so he could pass the long spearhead through the entrance without nicking any vines. <br>
<br>
"Lyn? are you alright?" Valen looked at Lyn, concerned. He had known Lyn for a long time, and she was like a little sister to him. As a result Valen like any good older brother could see through her emotions, or at least her hotheaded flare. The male looked slightly concerned, as the female looked strained for some reason. Valen walked back over to her, his pipe hanging from his lips, he extended a hand for her to take "Come on, let's not fall behind lyn" Valen's voice was kind, not regarding his own health in favor of Lyns. <br>
<br>
The male stopped and turned his head to the side, paying attention to the voice he heard, another male stood a small distance away, looking wounded, blood dripping down his arm. Valen blinked, his eyes narrowing in suspicion, he didn't quite recognize the newcomer, though it seemed that they had sought them out, the man and his... tiger? The male stepped between his group and the newcomer, frowning and not speaking for a moment "Yes, we do, we have a healer amongst us, and there is more inside the city." Valen answered the male's question bluntly, though without hostility.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bf40">Â¤</span> <b>Chapter Two</b> â?? Of Memories and Encounters <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bf40">Â¤</span>​</div><br>
Hearing a rustle of sounds from their side and in the shadows, Brand found himself just a second away from sending lightening down that area. He was always on edge, energy that was pent up dancing along his fingertips and zipping through his nerves. As a lightening wielder, the blonde's body created and generated enough energy to ignite his power, but with his constant urge to hold back, he was literally <i>charged</i>. However, when Valen stepped before them, he paused his motions and blinked, waiting for their somewhat appointed leader to assess the situation.<br>
<br>
The other blonde didn't seem to recognize the person before them, and while Brand liked to say he had a fairly good memory, he didn't as well. The other person vaguely reminded him of a shorter and older male that used to hang around Elizer. But after the fall of the Queen, they neither saw nor heard of anyone, and Brand had to admit that the chances of anyone that had allied with them at the beginning being alive was rather slim. In fact, he threw that thought away, because with the cloak around this person's form, he assumed this strange could be a male or a female. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">"Yes, there are plenty in the city, unless Arioch is willing...?"</span> his tone trailed off, turning his gaze towards the other Elvin.<br>
<br>
Even as his eyes were on her, the tall male made his way pass Valen a bit, patting the older knight on the shoulder as if to tell him that the injured person was probably not going to attack them. At least, he hoped not, because he was the closest person at the moment. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">"May I see how extensive it is? Were you attacked by...them?"</span> the tilt of his head was enough to finish the sentence, silently asking if it was by someone from the Dark Army. It wouldn't be the first incident that they'd ran into, since it had been quite some time that the Dark Army has ravished the once flourishing land.<br>
<br>
When he reached close enough to stand right next to the stranger, the hand that he held out to reach for the other's injured arm paused; as did the rest of his body. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">"Wow, you're one tall woman."</span> he noted almost gleefully, despite his choice of words, and gave her a smile to take the bite out of his words. Hopefully, if this person was a male, he hadn't offended 'him', since he just assumed that this person was a female. From what he had seen, mainly females hid under cloaks, so they weren't underestimated or caught by lewd dogs of the Dark Army. His hand went from reaching out to what looked like an injured arm, to brushing against the top of the other's head and touching the hood that cloaked him or her. It looked like a good two to three inches, if he was able to estimate anything. Valen was just a bit shower than he was, not by much, but Brand had always found it amusing that he was the tallest in their group.<br>
<br>
They needed to continue on with what they were doing, but if they were not going to help a person that approached them for aid, then what was the purpose of their journey? It was to save and heal the land and the people, and if it took them one person at a time to save Marosia, then he saw no sacrifice that was not worth the means.</div>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Nekar had been watching as her comrades went their separate ways, silently waiting and wondering what to do. It would be easy to let lose and wipe out a village of Elves, but the King wouldn't like that. They were here on a mission, to retrieve the shard that their King desired. All of the chaos that was being caused would surely displease the King. She should have stopped it, but so much happened in nearly the same time frame that it was impossible for even her to control it all. Her hesitation would probably displease the King as well, and she would accept whatever punishment that was given to her accordingly. For now, she felt it would be best if she focused on doing whatever she could to ensure that they completed their objective. Gandrian was moving with Xion, Gerrit was. . .napping, she guessed, and Malak? He seemed to be taking pleasure in tormenting a pair of Elves who had not a chance of living after meeting him. He finished the two of them quickly, and appeared to have the same thing that he did in mind - completing their task.<br>
<br>
Logically, it was only for the best that she joined Malak rather than joining any of the others. So, joining Malak was what she would do.<br>
<br>
Quickly, she was able to close the distance between herself and her soon-to-be companion, coming to a stop in the tree just above him. Silently, she dropped to the ground and landed, quite gracefully, on her feet just behind him. Nekar examined his kills, somewhat interested in the way that he had been able to use his magic to kill them both. It was just as one would expect someone of his rank to be able to do. Quickly and efficiently, but only after filling them both with a certain amount of terror. Her eyes slowly moved towards him, and a bemused grin appeared on her face. Perhaps staying at his side for now would be able to keep her entertained until they were able to complete their objective.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">"You appear as if you could use some company Lord Malak. Or perhaps, a blade to keep these foolish creatures off of your back. Not that they would be so brave as to approach you, m'lord, after feeling the aura that just moved through the wood. They'd have to be fools to even attempt such a thing," </span>Nekar said, her voice soft and low. Her gaze turned from Malak to the two elves that had just been slain. After seeing the two lifeless bodies, and reflecting upon her words for a moment, she couldn't help but chuckle, feeling a bit dense yet amused. These were, after all, HIgh Elves that she was talking about. Of course they were fools. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">"Then again, those two were foolish enough to approach you, were they not?"</span>[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Xion would see Annie go into the teleporter and sighed some, shaking his head as Amara just did a similar expression and gesture.  He didn't like having to tote her around but he could tolerate an elven woman as he did have a bit of a soft spot for them: they were better in bed than human women were.  With the woman's aid, he'd manage to hurry toward the city, evading the traps that were laid out adn bypassed checkpoints with Amara's intercession; she'd be talking to the guards saying he's helping her get back since she couldn't walk. They couldn't argue with it and let them through toward the city proper.  He'd actually manage to get there just before the good team had but only by a few moments or so: nothing monumental.  As thanks for guiding him: he'd let the elven woman live by dropping her off at the nearest clinic. No sense causing trouble just yet: alone he was strong but not even he could fight off all of these elves and the good guys.  <br>
<br>
He would wander around Cam for a moment, marveling at the efficiency they were operating to put out the fires he'd caused earlier.  Xion knew that the good guys could probably sense his presence there but couldn't pinpoint it due to all the magic energy in the air and how it was concentrated in the city itself.   "I know they're here, maybe I should go find them and say hi." he sniggered to himself as he found a bench to sit on and leaned back against the bench and sighed some, remembering just how he got into the conflict with Arioch s long ago.<br>
<br>
It was some time ago when he was visiting his daughters just before the queen was killed by Gandrian.<br>
<br>
The two of them had been arguing about his right to see the two little girls, he wasn't about to let the high elf tell him not to and was blatantly threatening her.  He wouldn't hurt her in front of the girls but he sorely wanted to; but to some degree she reminded him of her sister: Lyra and Corona's mother.  At the time it was the only thing protecting her from his anger and he'd be forced to leave them but not before he got to hug the girls that seemed to love their daddy and were trying to stay beside him during the argument.  In the end it was agreed that it was best for them to stay in their home city so they could go to school easier and at least try to have a normal life.<br>
<br>
But after all the bad stuff happened, the city closed it'd doors and that damn witch was the most strident person he'd ever met when it came to trying to keep him out because he was known as a tyrant in the north.  The queen herself had turned a blind eye toward what he did as long as he didn't openly threaten her realm, but with her gone things quickly went downhill and several parties of dragon hunters had come after him and all met a grisly fate, usually by getting thrown back to their homes...from 2 miles in the air.<br>
<br>
Shaking it off he'd get up and continue his explorations of the city to try and find out by passively eavesdropping on conversations if he could locate the shard by talk of a "royal treasure" or something like that.  He could easily find them and shifted his appearance to the one they'd recognize instead of the half-elf one he used while in the city to avoid problems.  He knew they were on the outside, so he'd take a seat on a nearby bench inside the city itself within sight of the gate near a fountain to wait for them.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Wandering around the area in search of the gates, Gandrian felt as if he was running around like a headless chicken. The trees were guiding him along, his senses much clearer, now that he didnâ??t have to burden himself with Xion and worrying about the other maleâ??s pace. However, it was confusing, and they led him around as if he was their play-thing, running left and right, circling things and hopping over large debris.<br>
<br>
Coming to a small path though, he lightened his footsteps, not making sounds that could carry on the wind, much like the light footfalls of Elvin kind. He was near the gates, as he could see them, but unfortunately, it also should be noted that he was near the group that he had been trying to avoid this entire time. It wasnâ??t as if he had been ordered to stay away from them, or that he wasnâ??t confident to take them on, but rather, he wasnâ??t a hundred percent sure he wanted to kill any of them. Gandrian hated that self about him, and had been slowly trying to kill what little affection he had for those knights.<br>
<br>
He wouldnâ??t be able to take them all on, not without his own pain and perhaps death, but he would be able to damage some of them at least, and maybe kill one. Probably the weakest one. But Z also had his elemental weakness on his side, and that could provide painful for the former Cardinal Knight. He hated that the youngest of them had proven stronger than him in the fact of a little spark of electricity, so he was sure that if given the chance, he needed to kill â??Lord Brandâ?? first.<br>
<br>
However, that was not for today, it seemed, as he paused in his steps and swung himself up onto a tree branch nearby. Heâ??d hide from them for now, but when he gazed into the further distance, he made a frustrated face. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bf40"><i>What bad luckâ?¦<b>heâ??s</b> close by as well?</i></span> the former knight mentally huffed, as he spotted with his Elvin eyes the very person he had just escaped. Xion was within the city limits though, further from the group than he was, but if he were to move and draw attention to his area, he was almost sure that the Dragon could find him. Staying where he was, heâ??d just have to wait it out for now in silence, as he had no intention of being caught by the Dragon. The guy was like a leech, and though he didnâ??t particularly hate Xion, he didnâ??t like the fact that he knew that Xion knew that he knew the Dragon was spying on him.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">When the Dark elf dropped down behind him, malak was a little startled, he hadn't felt her in the din, her signature obscured by the magic of the forest, and his own aura that wafted through the enclosure. The male turned and smiled a little when she approached him, hiding his start behind his small smile, letting it touch his lips as he turned go greet her <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"Ah, hello Colonel, I suspected you were near. </span> Malak's hands moved behind his back in a curt gesture, his head tilting to the side as he listened to the dark elf speak to him. The Dark elf was a formidable being, one who interested Malak quite thoroughly, she had managed to get so close to him without him detecting her, this stunned him. Malak took a mental note not to piss the Drow off and continued, replying to her statements.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"I am not surprised they approached me really."</span> Malak's voice darkened, becoming a little more serious than his greeting, allowing his lips to form an evil smirk, gesturing to the corpses <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"They felt me summon my Darklings, a fraction of the aura I use in normal circumstances... Elves haven't felt my magic since this land was ravaged by it centuries ago, but they seem to instinctively remember it, as does this forest... "</span> Malak held out his hand, a small green flame appearing in the center of his palm, quickly elongating into the form of a wispy serpent, which wound around Malak's hood, temporarily illuminating his face. The Warlock stood in one place as he spoke to the female, his eyes focused on hers, his voice occasionally trailing off as he spoke, recalling the last moments of the creatures that attempted to face down the abomination all alone, he didn't feel sorry for them of course, approaching a being that one instinctively fears is not good for survival.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"Not that I mind that they came to me, after watching you all eat I became a little peckish myself, and the looks on their faces were priceless. I can only assume more will come if they felt my power, some curious, some seeking to snuff it... High Elves are truly stupid creatures, it is a wonder they have survived so long..."</span> Malak's voice lightened and his smirk became a delighted grin. Malak hated high elves for their purity, though he found they do taste delicious when properly prepared, a little bit of herbs and spices, and of course when properly tenderized prior to roasting. <br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"I would appreciate your companionship, if the elves were in greater numbers they may have had a chance of striking me, and if the knights are in fact here... well, lets say I would rather they did not get too close to me."</span> Malak looked at the ground for a moment, then back at nekar, returning to his 'normal' behavior <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"Not to mention that other than this I would otherwise find this trip terribly boring"</span> Malak's mouth went from a smirk to a frown for a split second before returning to his usual facial expression, the glowing eyes rolling to express his boredom. <br>
<br>
Malak took a couple steps forward, turning to Nekar <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"Well, while our two idiots of comrades go bumbling into Cam and bash in the doors or whatever they are going to do, I think I will take a low profile entrance to the city."</span> Malak was quite irritated with the two, the beast had an excuse to be causing havoc, though the elf should have known better. Malak was disappointed with both and the wolf, If Malak found that he slept on the job again, chances are he would lose his fur mysteriously until he shaped up. Honestly, the warlock couldn't wait to see the punishments bestowed upon them by king Vayne, the man didn't take well to that kind of thing. <br>
<br>
The male continued on his way, gesturing "I can feel our objective coming from this direction, let us see if we can reach it before our allies get at it... I can lower any barriers on the way" Malak turned his head, taking a breath and totally withdrawing his aura, watching as the taint he had released withdraw, the black fog that had snuffed out all life in the clearing retreating into his robes. With his aura withdrawn, Malak would be invisible to the elders, like a normal human.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The fact was that Renate didn't mind it, she'd had it happen enough in her life to just laugh things like that off and nodded to Ranis and pretended to struggle for a moment to "unlatch" Naolin before joining them at the table.  "It's nice to meet a friendly face." she said to Ranis and blinked, her eyes going distant for a moment and smirked wolfishly at her and said lowly. "Your majesty." she said and winked before sitting back in her seat and made a gesture to the barmaid on duty. <br>
<br>
"A round for all of us!" she ordered firmly and laughed some, seeming to just relax as she flicked her left hand and produced a small cloth from it and proceeded to wipe her cleavage clean of Naolins' drool. "It's gross but he does it every time I surprise him. We're old drinking buddies." she explained as she did.<br>
<br>
As she settled, her ragged ponytail wrapped itself around her shoulders and rested on her chest as if it had a mind of it's own. Sometimes her "other self" would play with her hair adn make it do weird things, harmless as it looked like a ghost was playing with it. Ren's inner self was more sensitive to the auras of others and could sense the field of magic around Ranis that was keeping her as a humanoid.  But she'd just ignore it for the time being and sighed some, fiddling with an empty bottle. "hey. have either of you heard of...'she started off and explained the name of an underground organization known for it's smuggling, slave-trade and various other things.  "I've been looking for leads to where they keep their main headquarters, I've heard it's in this general area but I haven't had any luck in finding it." she said.<br>
<br>
If they did know where it was she was going to invite them to come along to find out just what they were doing and "confiscate" any of their assets to give to the innocent people they victimized to line their pockets with gold.  It wasn't a nice thing to do and she wasn't going to deal with it anymore: she wanted to find her mom.  "I'm sure there's rewards to dealing with people like that." she said.</div>

It was then that he randomly flipped off Shadow again, as if he could hear the guardian speak to him, while no one else did. Their shared link, pulled by the threads that used to be part of himself, but now, separated in two different forms.<br>
<br>
Naolin turned his head towards Ranis and grinned, his eyes unclear, his hair messy, but his smile almost clichÃ© perfect. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??You know, you would look lovely, spread out before me.â?</span> the drunkard â??commentedâ??, before pausing and thinking in his hazed mind. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Or are you the type of woman who would like to be on top? I can live with that.â?</span> he leaned in closer to her, before resting his head against her shoulder and giving her a soft smile while taking another gulp of his drink.<br>
<br>
The light liquid spilled some over his chin and dapped her kimono, but it didnâ??t even seem to bother Naolin that he was dirtying the Dragon Queenâ??s outfit. Rather, he stayed where he was, only planning to lift his head if she decided to shove him off. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Ah, what a nice dayâ?¦surrounded by such lovely ladies.â?</span> being drunk had many drawbacks, and one was inhibitions. A warm hand snuck to the side and around Ranisâ?? waist to grab a handful of the light haired womanâ??s voluminous ass.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tsuâ??s eyes followed to the elfâ?¦ Was she his replacement? The thought crossed his mind, the stem of the rose driving up to his shoulder, the thorns tearing painfully at the fresh skin as it had never went that high. Jealousy. That was the emotion he was feeling. It had been a while since he had experienced such emotions toward another being. It was a strange sensationâ?¦ <span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">â??Masterâ?¦you are bleeding moreâ?¦â?</span> Firuâ??en telepathically alerted its master as it looked to him.  Tsuâ??s attention was directed toward the Youngest Knight however, as he approached him. <br>
<br>
It seemed the other hadnâ??t changed a bit coming to him so carelessly. Tsuâ??Ro, although he would have nothing of it, could have been apart of the Dark Army. He could have struck the Youngest Knight down where he stoodâ?¦ <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??No, I donâ??t want to bother your friendâ?¦.â?</span> He quickly replied with a small smile. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">â??Master it would be so easy for you to just let their elf heal youâ?¦â?</span> and while that was true, Tsuâ??Ro wouldnâ??t allow it.  He already, even though he knew nothing of her, didnâ??t like the elf as it seemed she had replaced him. Taken his destinyâ?¦erased his purpose. It was a naÃ¯ve thought, Tsuâ??Ro knew it butâ?¦ he couldnâ??t help but feel soâ?¦so envious of the Elf.<br>
<br>
Instinctively Tsuâ??Ro pulled his arm back not wanting the other to see that it was his powers that caused his own injury. Brandâ??s next comment made Tsu laugh. The knight was always enough to make him smile when he was feeling anything other than happy. There was a warm sensation that stirred deep inside him that almost made him want to pull down his hood and reveal who he was. However, the fear of him being repulsed by his presenceâ?¦.the thought of Brand believing those ugly rumors about him stopped that thought from becoming a reality. Even though his accusations were wrong he didnâ??t correct the night, figuring it was best to stay deep in disguise.<br>
<br>
He almost stepped back as Zâ??s hand went from his injured arm to the hood of his cloak. Was he going to pull it down? No, it seemed he was measuring his height. He wasnâ??t sure, but his sudden closeness caused the thorns of the rose to retract, the stem shortening. The feeling of it tearing from him was nearly unbearableâ?¦it seemed worse than the feeling of the thorns ripping into his skin. Actually, when the thorns did tear open his skin it was quite relaxing. He supposed thatâ??s why he was always doing it and not knowing. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??Itâ??s not so bad reallyâ?¦Men never approach a woman whoâ??s so tall and could possibly be a man..â?</span> he said with a soft chuckle. He lifted up his sleeve to reveal a tattered arm, open with scars and tears, a white rose clean of his blood seeming to just sprout from his wrist, if one hadnâ??t noticed the stem-like vine that encircled it.. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??I just need some bandages and whatnotâ?¦â?</span> he said nonchalantly, letting the white cloak drop down over his arm.</div>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><i>Elfie</i>. Arioch detested being called that. More than that, she hated how Lynnira joked about burning the forest. The earth was a living, breathing thing. It needed to be nurtured and taken care of just as any human did. Burning did have it's place in the cycle of caring for the land, but now was hardly the time for burning. And this was hardly the place for that. Jesting or not, if fire was set to the forest by the knight, even her status as one of the Queen's chosen couldn't save her. Many would die, many would be left homeless, those left remaining would be in for hard times. They would need someone to blame their anger and pain on, and she would be the person they chose to direct their anguish toward. Arioch hoped that either Brand or Valen would be able to stop her in the event that she did fly off the handle and started to set things on fire. Then again, she had only just met them all and knew none of them well enough to know anything of them other than their names and tales of their deeds.<br>
<br>
What bothered the High Elf more than anything was the person that just appeared. There was something about this cloaked figure that was just strange. The more she tried, the harder it was to get a ready of just what this person was like. It bothered her. Arioch was no slouch when it came to healing and medical matters. After spending most of her life fighting day in and day out for her life and the life of her comrades, she was rather good at the healing arts. That this person would not want to be examined was just as strange as the feeling they gave off. The gaze that the Elf shot the cloaked figure was by no means friendly, but not exactly threatening. If anything, it was a gaze that silently said <i>'I'm watching you'</i>. Her attention turned from the figure to the tiger near them. It seemed as if it were the figure's companion. That was somewhat surprising, but at the same time, it wasn't. Those with the power to communicate with animals often had exotic varieties of them as companions. This was her first time seeing a tiger though, so the presence of the large cat intrigued her. Intrigue and suspicions would have to wait for a time when they could afford to be given adequate attention. It was more important that they take care of what they were here for in the first place.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"I would be more than willing, however, it seems my help is not needed. It would be for the best if we hurried into the city and found someone who could help our friend here,"</span> Arioch said, nodding her head in Valen's direction. Her eyes turned to Brand, then to the newcomer and his tiger once more. She turned on her ball of her right foot sharply and entered into the town after Lynnira. For her to leave in such a way may have seemed cold, but the cloaked person - who had yet to have clearly identified them self as man or woman - didn't seem to like being around her. That was the one feeling that this person did give her. Honestly, it hurt a bit to feel such a thing, but there was little that could be done about that.<br>
<br>
Rather than linger where her presence was no wanted, she left them and entered Cam.The city was a place that she had ventured to many times in her years as a Paladin for the Elven Court, and she was quite familiar with the city. She guessed that Valen had been here on some occasion before and also knew his way around. Between the two of them, the group would be able to find and obtain anything they needed in a timely manner.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff">"Please, there is no need for such formalities. A friend of a friend is also a friend, no,"</span> Ranis asked, arching an eyebrow. It was a human saying that she learned while on her travels. Many times, she heard it in bars such as this one, where people were meeting for the first time. Those people usually formed parties with someone they knew and someone they didn't, and the group would leave and travel together for a while. Just as the thought crossed her mind that this felt like one of those situations, Renate inquired about a criminal organization that she had been searching for. Ranis guessed that Renate was either insane, or that the woman was a sell sword of some kind. When she finished her story, and Ranis finished with the second bottle that she purchased, the dragon was just about to reply when Nao. . .<br>
<br>
Well, Ranis couldn't really be mad at him. She was rather attractive in this form, and she was a Queen. In this kind of place, people like him were to be expected. Nothing that she hadn't come across in her travels yet. In fact, she learned how to deal with people when they became like this all too well. And a large part of her enjoyed "dealing with" those people. Since Naolin was such an entertaining person, and someone that she found she rather liked, she wouldn't treat him the same as she normally did others who had done this in the past. She smiled at him, slowly leaning forward so that she could whisper into his ear.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff"> â??Would you believe me if I said I would much rather be on top? In control of everything, watching the way your face twists in pleasure as I work my magic,â?</span> she whispered, her voice soft and near breathless. Her finger slowly traced the length of his arm, gently coming to rest on top of his hand.<br>
<br>
All of a sudden, her grip around his hand tightened, and she slowly began to pull it away.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff"> â??Flattery will get you everywhere Naolin, everywhere except for there. Please do keep that in mind, because I would hate to have to hurt the first person Iâ??ve met in years I have found to be so entertaining.â?</span> Slowly, she pulled away from the drunk and flashed a friendly smile down at him before slowly pushing him away. Her attention shifted from Naolin and back to Renate almost instantly. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff">â??I am afraid I havenâ??t heard of such a group, however, if you are in need of another sword, perhaps I may lend you my own,â?</span> Ranis said softly. She was offering to join Renate in her quest to find the underground group. For many reasons really. Mostly because hearing of the things that they did left a bad taste in her mouth, and because it sickened her to her stomach to know that there were such things happening in this world.<br>
<br>
No matter how you looked at it, having the assistance of a dragon was a great thing. Having the assistance of the Dragon Queen? It didnâ??t get much better than that.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

Had she not spoke, there was a good chance that she could have hid her presence from Malak all together, and shadowed his every move without him noticing. If he had been startled by her sudden appearance, it didnâ??t show on his face, but Nekar couldnâ??t help but wonder. Malak was, perhaps, the most interesting of her comrades next to Gandrian. Since Gandrian already had a shadow, and the wolf seemed to despise her presence, Nekar decided to follow after Malak. It was a simple choice, and perhaps, the best for many reasons.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">â??Indeed they are. . .â?</span> Nekar said softly. She shared in Malakâ??s opinion of High Elves. They were stupid creatures. Stupid, ignorant, foolish creatures. If it werenâ??t for her fear of bringing the wrath of her King down upon her, she would left loose and have some fun tormenting some, killing others, and disfiguring any of those who were unfortunate enough to survive their encounter with the deadly Drow beauty. The thought of being here and not being able to kill a few certainly upset her, but her duty was the follow the orders given by her King, nothing more and nothing less. If she had to kill a few in order to complete her objective and return with the shard, she would take great pleasure in doing so. In fact, there was a large part of her that hoped they would be ambushed just so that she could let loose and have some fun herself.<br>
<br>
Malakâ??s voice drew her out of her thoughts and back to reality. To hear that Gandrian and Xion had already infiltrated Cam, and so easily, was a relief. Until she thought about who was there. Gandrian was more than capable as a leader, as a warrior, and proved time and time again that he was more than worthy of his job. Having Xion around only seemed to make him less efficient, partially because of Gandrianâ??s own personality, but mostly because the two of them did not get along at all. She hoped that King Vayne would separate the two of them soon, so that future missions such as this would go more smoothly than this one. Then again, it wasnâ??t her place to doubt the King. He knew what he was doing when he put the two of them together. His reasons for doing so were obviously beyond her ability to comprehend.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">â??Fear not, Lord Malak, not even one of these fools shall come within striking distance of you. Should they even try, I will cut them down,â?</span> Nekar said, bowing politely toward her traveling companion. It wasnâ??t uncommon for her to be so formal or polite with anyone. Speaking with them for extended periods of time, or being beside them outside of assigned missions? That would have been cause for concern. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">â??I share your sentiments concerning our approach. It  would bode well for us to find a less obvious way of entering the town. One such as myself certainly would not be welcome there.â?</span> One such as herself, a Dark Elf, certainly would not be welcome into Cam with open arms. They would probably attempt to steal her life after merely glancing in her direction.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Xion had been waiting inside the gates and could only be highly amused by the fact the good-guy team were all arguing already; they were making team dark's job alot easier. Now if only they could make this chaotic relationship continue so they'd be more distracted to give the others time to find the shard here first.  But with Arioch getting away from her group, it was a perfect time to go antagonize her a bit; just within earshot of the others so that they'd look at her with different eyes after they were seen socializing in the most civil possible way.  Xion, however, was laughing internally that none of them had taken notice of him waiting for them there, he wasn't taking any measures to conceal where or who he was; maybe there WERE just that stupid?<br>
<br>
Brushing a hand through his hair, he stood up and confidently sauntered up behind Arioch and rather blatantly swatted her on the rump to get her attention.  He knew that she would probably hate that gesture but it'd do the job for getting her attention wouldn't it?  "Well well Arioch, isn't it nice to see you here." he said in the most polite, civil tone possible for the situation, trying to keep his amusement from showing and retaining an air of professionalism. He might've hated her to some degree but he did agree that she had a nice shapely rear, hence the swat.  "How've you been doing lately my friend?" he asked her, then loud enough for the others to ear but not overly.  "How're my daughters? Your nieces.  They better be happy and content or I'm going to have to take steps that you never liked in the past." Xion asked her with a wry smirk that he couldn't conceal.<br>
<br>
He hoped deeply that it'd discredit her in the other's eyes to learn she had a personal connection to someone on team bad that went beyond professional affiliation like the others had with various members of the other team.  "It seems like you've fallen in with a ragtag group of misfits, again. Whatever happened to your elven pride? I thought your people didn't help mere humans in their own problems since they are their problems." he prodded her a bit more, trying to upset the high elf.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">A short second or two, she hoped, was all she would need to catch her breath, to regain her balance.<br>
<br>
Twas a lie.<br>
<br>
Shaking her head out she faked a smile in Valen's direction. Her weakness wasn't supposed to be shown in front of <i>him</i> of all people. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"I sh-should be fine."</b></span> Lynnira replied quickly, trying to cover her stutter with a small laugh, but it was all lies. And she knew he could tell. With a disdain sigh the woman grasped his hand. It was cold to the touch for her, but her skin must've been scalding to him. Her temperature was through the roof. Her fingers curled gently in his; oh she knew how he felt towards her. A sibling. She was his younger, hot-tempered sister.. while she wanted something completely different. Unable to speak loudly of this before the other knights, Lynn kept her head low, speaking softly as she was lead by his cool hand, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"Thank you.."</b></span><br>
<br>
Though as soon as they all turned to the newcomer, so did Lynnira. Taking him (or her) in with raised brows. But she spent little attention on the cloaked figure and their cat. As soon as she found she could breathe again, her hand slipped from Valen's and to her side. Pulling her body up straight she looked into the city. As Arioch spun into the city, leaving them in the dusk, Lynnira went to follow.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"I believe finding proper beddings and resting area's is in order now. Perhaps I shall look for said things? Else.. are we staying not in a regular place?"</b></span> Lynnira flicked her cold blue eyes to the Elf whom had begun to walk away. No bitterness, but a strange look of.. respect? <span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"General."</b></span></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tilting his head, the blonde turned his gaze towards Arioch for a moment, noting that she wasnâ??t going to help the newcomer and just trotted along without them. That caused him to press his lips together, wanting to call out to her and drag her back to heal this stranger, but not doing so. It wasnâ??t his place to tell her how she should use her magic and healing abilities, but unwillingly so, he thought of something forbidden that the knights had cast aside in their heads. Gandrian would have healed someone injured without a second though. Ifâ?¦ if the knight hadnâ??t fallen into darkness.<br>
<br>
Shaking his head, he didnâ??t even sigh his sad feelings away, before he turned his face back to the strange and smiled. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Please excuse her. She doesnâ??t mean to be unfriendly, but sheâ??s a good person when you get to know her.â?</span> the youngest knight automatically defended. Whether or not he meant it in a way that was personal didnâ??t hinge onto his words, as he defended everyone around him. She was part of his group now, and he would care for her as if she was one of the knights. Reaching out, he grasped the otherâ??s wrist and gently held it up to bring the arm closer to his face. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Doesnâ??t look too badâ?¦just a bit here and there. You might not even need a healer, if we can bandage this up correctly.â?</span><br>
<br>
Suddenly, he remembered how rude it was to grab for someone that was a stranger. As he was holding the injured arm with a hand, he placed his free hand into the opposite of the strangerâ??s hand. Their fingers seemed to just brush, as he noted how soft the hands were. Must have been female hands, as they reminded him of Lynniraâ??s softness. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??You know, thereâ??s no need to hide from us. We wonâ??t harm you.â?</span> his smile was as bright as his hair for a moment. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??My name is Brand. May I know yours?â?</span> as he asked, his eyes were set on the hood; a silent question to take it off.<br>
<br>
Danger? Brand was lacking the radar to note of it, as he foolishly trusted this person without the thought that he could be harmed. They would catch up with Arioch and Lynn in a moment, but he had to wonder why the men were always left behind.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">He watched as the elf walked off. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">â??I think she felt your hatred and envy Masterâ?¦â? </span>Firuâ??en informed his master as its bright emerald eyes followed after the woman. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green"><i>â??Probablyâ?¦ I almost feel bad for making her storm off like that butâ?¦this is my positionâ?¦â?</i></span> he replied to the tiger. His attention was then directed to Brand as he began to speak. Why did he defend her? No, why was he thinking such a stupid question? Brand had a knack for things such as defending another person, or trying his hardest to care for his comrades. It was clearly in his natureâ?¦for him to have not defended her would have been weird.<br>
<br>
Tsuâ??Ro had to fight the urge to snatch his arm away from the other as he suddenly clasped his wrist. The rose upon his wrist closed up into a small bud to prevent the other from smashing it. He watched as the knight brought his arm closer into view, the cloakâ??s sleeve falling back once more to allow the other to see. Thank god he had on the hood as Brandâ??s fingers slightly brushed against his smooth hands. An immediate heat rushed to his cheeks, he had to fight the urge to look away shyly as the knight examined him. One thing he always hid from the knight in the early days was his fondness for him. No need to hide? Indeed there was for the demon. His seemingly unnatural beauty, and bad reputation that followed him was all the reason he needed to hide his identity; even though he would give anything to have Brand know he still existed.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??Jiuâ??neâ?¦â?</span> he lied as he looked down at the knight. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">â??Master, Jiuâ??ne? Is that the best you could come up with?â?</span> Firu asked as its questioning green eyes gazed up at the male. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green"><i>â??It was my birth motherâ??s name.â?</i></span> Brandâ??s eyes seemed to beckon him to remove his hood, but he just couldnâ??t no matter how much he wanted to please the other. The fear of being rejected by him weighed heavy on his heart. He finally pulled his arm away from Brand noticing that the knight still had it within his grasp. The flower around that wrist bloomed beautifully, a petal or two gracefully fluttering in a cool breeze before landing in the grass around them.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??You should hurry to your friendsâ?¦ Iâ??ll follow behind until we get somewhere where I can bandage my armâ?¦â?</span> he informed Brand and Valen as he looked down at the young knight then over to Valenâ?¦ Things really changed after the Queenâ??s defeat. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green"><i>â??This king of Darkness will pay for upsetting the balance...â?</i></span> Tsuâ??Ro said to Firu'en.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Renate only shook her head at Naolin's antics and began to laugh faintly at the sight of it and continued to.  "Well he does that fairly often, when he's really hammered like he is now he falls in love twenty times a day so I doubt that he'd remember your agreement there Ranis." she said with a laugh and downed a bit more of the drink she'd had in the bottle before her on the table.  But she was relieved to hear that Ranis would be willing to help and she'd jump all over it if she needed another sword but right now she really needed information without that that: having more swords was just a waste of money and time.  "I appreciate the sentiment but a sword isn't what's needed. It's information unfortunately and people don't seem to want to talk about it." she said and sighed. "I just want to find my mom but I've been looking for ten years now and have found only minimal traces, I'm starting to lose hope." she sighed sadly.<br>
<br>
"I have so many questions for her too. None of them can be answered by anyone else and I'm just...lost." she admitted, swishing the booze in the bottle around in tight circles a few times before setting it down and smiling some.  "But having someone else to travel with would be very nice, I'm very lonely from having to ride in the back of rickety old wagons with closed-mouthed merchants that only want to talk about money." she said with a jovial grin on her face that seemed to improve her looks greatly. "But perhaps we should try to get out of the wasteland here, I doubt any of us would find anything we're looking for out here." she said as she stood up and stretched out some, leaning back until she popped her back and legs, the gesture making her overly large boobs bounce some before she straightened.  <br>
<br>
"So Ranis, where do you come from?" she asked. "I've heard of your kind in the near-arctic north, is that true? And if it is..isn't it really bloody cold up there? Renate chuckled a bit as she looked the woman over, trying to guess at her origin from the way her clothing was made, it was unlike much she'd seen in a very long time afterall.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Jiuâ??ne? Thatâ??s a beautiful name.â?</span> he noted, a bit surprised to feel the hand pulled away from him. Rarely did people avoid his touch in the past, and it wasnâ??t something vain he meant by the thought, but the fact that they told him he had a warm and tingly touch. Many of the court ladies had been enthralled by the cute charm the youngest knight had, or at least, the ones that werenâ??t falling over Valen or Gandrian at the time. It never went beyond the simple touches of their hands though, as some were admires, and some were just curious what it felt like. The blonde was the wielder of their most offensive and destructive element among The Four, as his magic didnâ??t naturally come with â??defensiveâ?? abilities like the others had. They would always wonder if the hands were cold and sparkling with death, despite his smiling features.<br>
<br>
They were always surprise he was warm, as if they thought he wasnâ??t mortalâ??as mortal as a half-elf could beâ??and found out otherwise.<br>
<br>
Shaken out of his thoughts when he realized that Jiuâ??ne was talking to him, he glanced over and realized that the gates were closing on them. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??We better hurry, Valen. Come, weâ??ll escort you.â?</span> even though he wasnâ??t their â??leaderâ??, official or not, he knew he shouldnâ??t have invited some stranger to travel with them. No matter the length of time, it was up to Valen in the end to chose, or at least a vote of numbers between them. They worked as a unit, but still, he felt as if he had to branch out a helping hand to someone that was injured.<br>
<br>
Without nothing that perhaps this person, Jiuâ??ne, didnâ??t want him touching his or her being, he gently wrapped an arm around the personâ??s shoulder and eased them to come along. If asked, perhaps it was the fact that it was best to keep someone in sight, even by oneâ??s side, rather than behind. He spoke of nothing for a moment, as he tried to urge them to inch a bit closer to the gates, before he saw Arioch being confront with someone in the distance. Pausing, he frowned and gazed over to Valen briefly, wondering what they should do. Was that the Dragon on the darkâ??s side?<br>
<br>
Just the thought made a small spark of warning crackle around him, focused mainly on his fingertips. He hadnâ??t even noticed that they were dancing along Jiuâ??neâ??s shoulder, but with the amount of charge, it was but mere pokes and tickles. If Captain Xion were to move in any wrong way towards harming their Elvin companion, he would waste not a thought to go defend herâ??despite knowing that she was strong enough to fight for herself.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Valen had offered his help to Lynn, smiling to her, the woman seemed like she was in pain, though she had quickly recovered from whatever she was feeling, when the female took his hand, he almost winced, even through his temperature-resistant gloves, the touch of her fingers was still quite scalding. Valen's own hand was nice and cold, and remained that way even when exposed to her warmth. Once Lynn regained her strength and followed Valen let go, allowing her to follow the elf as she left, he had other concerns <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffffff"><b>"I'll catch up to you lynn"</b></span> Valen offered her his brotherly smile and turned to face Brand and the Newcomer, his pleasant expression growing colder. Valen's left hand held his spear and his pipe, which he absent-mindedly took a puff from, relishing the feeling of the smoke filling his lungs and the drug rushing through his body. <br>
<br>
Valen approached Brand and the hooded figure frowning and looking over the figure, he couldn't tell if it was male or female, or even human, and he didn't particularly care, it didn't want them to know. The figure seemed loath to show it's identity, this made the Champion Knight bristle, his protectiveness rising. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffffff"><b>"There are healers within the city, you may accompany us that far, but we will only remain in Cam for a little time, normally I would offer to you more, but I would like you to show me your face before I do, otherwise it would be best if we parted ways after we have seen to your injury.</b></span> Valen was uncomfortable with this new person, he didn't like how evasive he or she was at all, a behavior which immediately drew Valen's mistrust, he knew Brand would protest, but Valen knew the penalty for trusting too easily, so he spoke again before the other had time to interject. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffffff"><b>"I am sorry, but I cannot trust someone who hides behind a hood"</b></span> the figure seemed focused on Brand, which was enough of a reason to be suspicious, for all that Valen knew, this newcomer was an assassin who would plant a dagger in one of their backs. Valen's fingers tightened around the shaft of his spear, holding the weapon upright beside him. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffffff"><b>"Let me see your face at least, so I can rest my worries, you have until we leave if you intend to stay in our company, if not, so be it. ."</b></span> If no one else was going to make the stranger reveal his or her identity Valen would, Brand may have been kind enough to trust a total stranger who refused to even have the common courtesy of removing his or her hood when speaking to another, but Valen wouldn't have that.<br>
<br>
Valen turned, walking away, still using his spear as a walking stick as he moved to catch up with the others, turning his head to Brand when he spoke to him again Valen took a puff from his pipe and continued on, leaving a ring of smoke in his wake. Brand could take care of himself if the figure did something stupid. The male put the thought out of his mind, walking briskly so he could catch up with Ari and Lyn, approaching the women after casting the irritated look from his face on the way to the female.<br>
<br>
When he did he noted that the dark figure had walked up to Ari, and was harassing her, oh this did not sit well with Valen at all. Lowering his spear a little he quickened his pace, if he was right, and recognized that form, the man harassing the girls was one of the king's minions, a dragon in disguise of all things. The lowering of the spear from it's position into a different one, one which he could quickly take action if the dragon decided to do anything stupid.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Malak nodded when Nekar assured him that so long as she had his back there would be no chance of an enemy even drawing close to him in combat, before bowing to him politely. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"That is good to know, you have my thanks, Colonel"</span> Malak smiled widely upon this statement, returning her bow, Malak was glad that one of the individuals in his group had manners at least. The female outranked him in the terms of military service, but Malak was still a noble, so her manners were well placed and appreciated. Her aid was also appreciated, Elves, especially High elves were vulnerable to his magic and presence, but if they were in a different setting with a race resistant to magic, he wouldn't be so victorious without support. <br>
<br>
So far Malak quite liked the colonel, she was intelligent and appeared to be quite deadly, one of the few beings to ever successfully sneak up on him, she was quite pleasant to look at to boot. Of course Malak didn't care whether the Drow actually liked <i>him</i> or not, so long as she remained pleasant in his presence that was something he could live with. He was glad that the Drow was being polite rather than her usual icy state, it would make the journey all that much easier for them if they got along, unlike the others who were likely bickering or splitting up at the time.<br>
<br>
Malak began, allowing his senses to lead him towards the city of cam, moving through their maze easily. Malak didn't speak as he walked, his eyes focused forward and his movement's deft, he would occasionally stop, pausing and reflecting, tracing the source and the path that they would take, a human in this maze would be totally lost, but Malak had his advantages, namely, he could cheat. It took only minutes for Malak to reach one of the walls of cam, glancing up at it's height, it was protected by magic, so scaling it would likely not be a good choice. Malak's attention focused on the wall, but after a second something else caught it, rustling from the underbrush that made him turn his head. The male held up a hand to the woman, signaling not to attack as the huge hound stalked out of the underbrush, it was one of Malak's hounds, obvious in it's nearly skeletal appearance, huge jaws, and the emblem that seemed tattooed on it's shoulder, a fiery skull. The huge, demonic animal carried an unconscious elf in it's maw, the creature was unharmed, but out cold. Malak nodded silently <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Good, return her to the Carrier, then stay near"</span> With that the hound turned and vanished, Malak had other things to worry about than test subjects, namely getting into Cam undetected. <br>
<br>
Malak traced his path, seeking a hidden entrance to the city, listening to the demonic whisper that echoed from within him <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Tell me where it is..."</span> the warlock whispered to himself, closing his eyes and focusing as the whispers told him where to try. The elves would attempt to cut them down if they entered at any point close to one of the main gates to Cam, since neither of them was well accepted or could blend in the elven populace, the Drow was a Drow, the species sworn enemy, and Malak himself was an abomination of nature, an avatar of corruption, death, and decay, all things the elves weren't too fond of, not to mention the last time his magic was felt here, it sowed death and destruction to all.<br>
<br>
Malak ran his fingers along the wall, watching the surface ripple his touch, smirking when he found that weak point in the wall. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Here is our entrance..."</span> Malak mumbled, pressing his finger into the weakness and whispering a word, pressing forward and causing a visible crack in the wall as entropy did it's work, the material of the wall turning to ash, a hole appearing, widening and growing until it was large enough to walk through. Malak gestured to the hole, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"well, until our fearless leader finds our objective or gets into trouble it is best we remain undetected... if you wish, I can disguise you, or we can simply remain hidden by way of our own devices."</span></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The necromancer leaned his head against the table, grinning widely like some drunken idiot, as he watched the girls interact. The women were very beautiful in their own right, and if given the chance, he would bed either one in an instant. Whore? He didnâ??t know the meaning of it, because everyone was entitled to free loving. At least, thatâ??s how he saw it in his mind, but that didnâ??t necessarily mean others didnâ??t call him a man-whore. <br>
<br>
When he heard that they were going on some quest to find an underground leader, he tilted his head like some confused animal. Naolin wasnâ??t drunk enough that he didnâ??t understand what was going on, and they were bothering him again. Voices that continued to rant and bicker here and there at all timesâ??sometimes to him, sometimes to each other. They got annoying, so he grabbed for another drink and took another sip. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Mmmâ?¦â?</span> whatever they were talking about, must have been important, because his radar for importance came up, and his hand shot out to grab for Renateâ??s bouncing breast. It was nice and squish under his touch, warm and soothing, so he gave it another squeeze.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??You have really nice tits, Miss Ateâ?¦er, Ranâ?¦Renâ?¦â?</span> he visibly pause with a half dazed look on his face, while hand still firmly on her plush breast. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Well, whatever your name is, you have lovely tits.â?</span> the blonde declared, as if he needed to restate it, while his other hand discretely reached over and groped at Ranisâ?? breast. He had to compare, after all, and he had a look on his face to say that he wasnâ??t sure which was better. <br>
<br>
Shadow inched closer to them, but didnâ??t dare come to close, as the summoner had specific told it that it wasnâ??t allowed to come too close to Naolin nor others, unless there was a very important reason. Groping and the danger of being slapped wasnâ??t too important in his book, as any slap was worth the hands full of boob that he gotâ??in his opinion. Ask another person and they might slap him again.</div>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Arioch knew not what she was expecting upon entering the city, but she was not expecting to feel a hand to collide with her rear. Such a thought never even crossed her mind. Elves were a respectful lot, such a thing was looked down upon in their society. Outside of the area where she grew at least. This was far from that place though, a quaint and vibrant town full of life and those who wished to live it peacefully. To think that such a thing even happened was enough to infuriate her greatly. It did not happen immediately though. First came a natural response - her eyes shot wide open, and her spine straightened. Her face slowly began to turn red, from a combination of a growing embarrassment and anger. Though she knew not who was responsible, she had half a mind to cut them down right then and there!<br>
<br>
Her movement was quick and fluid. As she turned to face the one who was responsible, her right hand grasped the hilt of her rapier. Just as the motion of her body stopped, she began to draw her weapon from it's sheath. When her eyes fell upon the one responsible, she froze. She froze for many reasons, but mostly, because of disbelief. She could not believe that he was here! Her brother-in-law, the red dragon Xion. The man was, to be blunt, no good. All she had ever seen of him was evil, and she wanted nothing to do with him. Slowly, she took a step back, her eyes narrowing slightly. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"Spare me the pleasantries. I am not you friend. What business could you possibly have here," </span>she asked. A moments thought, and she found herself shaking her head. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"I care not, your presence could bring nothing but trouble."<br>
<br>
"Your words show how little you know. These mere humans, as you call them, are heroes. They will change the world back to the way it was, make things better for your children than you would ever be able to. And I would not dare waste my breath speaking to you of my pride - you could never comprehend such a thing. Leave this place Xion,"</span> She said, boldly standing her ground against the dragon. He was powerful, yes, and could probably crush her skull by just grabbing it, but he would not be able to do so without being injured, and with the others here with her, she was certain that they wouldn't dare hesitate to strike him if he so much as dared to attempt to try anything. Arioch could see, out of the corner of her eye, that Valen was already prepared to strike.<br>
<br>
As for the elf herself? Her hands rest upon the handle of both of her axes, ready to pull them free and strike at a moments notice. She wouldn't stand for this, not his insults to herself or to her new found comrades.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Lynnira was too preoccupied with herself to notice the others. This tingly feeling in her gut told her, nothin' to worry 'bout that person. And so, she followed it's directions. As it had done her no wrong yet.<br>
<br>
With a heavy sigh, her shoulders slumped from the pressure. It was squeezing her body like a snake about it's victim, a trickle of sweat from the effort warmed the back of her neck unpleasantly. With a shudder and a huff, the woman continued on her way. She cared not for the other Knight's at the moment; they could handle themselves. Mostly the elf, something about her put Lynnira off. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><i>'Does she believe me as a lower being than her? Or does she blame us for the fall of our Queen? Ugh, well.. she has always been a bitch to me, I just think she doesn't like me. Probably the fire thing... fuck, I don't know.'</i></span> Her inner turmoil ended soon enough though.<br>
<br>
Over a door, carved into the wooden board that hung was a symbol that was known to all. A tavern. A place of eating, drinking and sleeping. A few of Lynnira's favorite things. Like the other 'buildings' in the town they were all wooden, sturdy and fortified with stone. It looked less elvish to her then it really should. She noted with a soft 'Hmph'. Quickly, the cloaked and pained woman turned inside, like most, it was misty with smoke, long tables scattered with people (elves, in this case), the fire flickered almost lifelessly in a far corner. There was a long delicate piece of silk hanging from an arch, separating the kitchen to the rest of the room. Like all Taverns, there was a man who stood behind a counter, a bartender, also the innkeeper. Reaching into the folds of her cloak she grasped a pouch of coins, a soft mutter left her lips as the eyes followed her, unknown to her. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson"><b>"They can pay for themselves..."</b></span> And with that she placed a couple of coins, worth more then the room she wanted to use. The Bartender didn't mind the extra and gave her a gentle smile, and handed her a rough, copper key. <br>
<br>
Spinning it in her fingers, the Flame Knight headed to the stairs to her right, up to a long hallway, with doors lining them, to another staircase, up to a third floor. Double checking her key number, the woman twisted it into a lock and entered..</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??Ahâ?¦thank youâ?¦â?</span> he replied. Yesâ?¦the name was beautifulâ?¦ and he treasured it so.<br>
<br>
The taller male was slightly taken aback when the blond rest his arm around his shoulders sticking close to him. He breathed slowly, trying to calm himself as he began to walk forward with Brand, seeing as they obviously needed to get going before the gates shut. Tsuâ??Ro looked down at Valen as he approached Brand while they walked. He could feel the maleâ??s uneasiness about his being so enigmatic about his identity. However, he didnâ??t really care. He didnâ??t wish to see his reaction to his identity. So many things had changed since he had been away from them all, how was he to know if Valen would be so accepting of him like he was before? <span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">â??Master if you donâ??t show him your face you might lose your chanceâ?¦â?</span> Tsuâ??Ro sighted mentally as he listened to the knight talk. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green"><i>â??Yes, I knowâ?¦but Iâ?¦Iâ??ll think about itâ?¦Firuâ?¦â?</i></span> he nodded a little to show that he was listening. â??Iâ??ll keep that in mindâ?¦â? he said to the knight.<br>
<br>
Tsuâ??Roâ??s attention then flicked back to Brand when he felt the prickling feeling seeping through his cloak, his dark eyes lay rest on Brandâ??s hand. He then looked to where the knight was looking and spotted the elf and a dark figure talking to her. His eyes then followed Valen as he speedily walked to the scene. Tsuâ??Ro, instinctively rest his hand upon the blondâ??s looking down at him again. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??There is no need to get so worked upâ??â??</span> the demon paused suddenly as he felt a dark presence other than Xionâ??s around the area. There was a shift in natureâ??s atmosphereâ?¦the voices of the animals carried on a gentle breeze, their fear of something unsettling his nervesâ?¦ What was approaching the city that unsettled nature like so? <span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??they will be fine. At the moment however, we should probably get through the gatesâ?¦â?</span> he said with a quiet chuckle, a reassuring smile as if heâ??d been comforting the other for years.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??Comeâ?¦â?</span> he said as he ushered the male along through the gates following after Valen. The gates closed, elven magic sealing them. As he walked with brand over to Valen, and the elven woman, his eyes followed the fire knight as she wandered off deeper into the city. Tsuâ??Ro took his hand from Brandâ??s, stepping away, the blondâ??s arm falling from his shoulders. He then stepped back eyeing Xion. Firuâ??en began to snarl softly, bearing his fangs, uneasy about the manâ??s presence. [color]â??Calm down Firuâ?¦â?[/color] Tsuâ??Ro said as he stepped away from the group a bit more to calm his tiger. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">â??Sorry masterâ?¦.I donâ??t like himâ?¦ Not only that there is another presence like his but so much worseâ?¦you feel the change in this atmosphere do you not?â?</span> Firu questioned. <i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">â??Yesâ?¦I knowâ?¦but please calm yourselfâ?¦ We will investigate laterâ?¦â?</span></i> Firuâ??en calmed down, a few seconds later, the cloaked demon stood beside his tiger look still petting him as he looked at the others.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Xion had long noticed Valen's approach and his belligerence and did something that would at least put him in a safe position, when Arioch turned to meet him, he moved with her so that her back was between himself and Valen.  If they were truly heroes like she was claiming they were; he wouldn't do anything as long as his comrade was in the way of his weapon and Xion just had to keep it like that.   "I understand pride Arioch, Never mistake that. We're all born with it, just my sense of it is different from yours." He pointed out to her and kept his hands in his pockets and stood casually and peered over her shoulder to address Valen. "Oh blondie, I wanted to tell you: your buddy Gandrian is skulking around here too somewhere. He's been saying some rather uncouth things bout you and the other members of your group." He said with a perfectly straight face.  <br>
<br>
But when she spoke like she believed he couldn't do right by his own girls he darkened a bit and his eyes turned into slits for a moment as a mild odor of pumice began to surround him.  But he had to force it back down and met her on casual grounds with a mild grin.  "You say they're heroes, I haven't heard or seen them do anything particularly heroic, that tall one behind you seems to be rather weepy over the loss of his queen." he said, starting to chuckle internally and shook his head.  He fell into the idiom of formality to address Valen again.<br>
<br>
"Pray thee, sir knight. It does not due to dwell on what has already transpired. Mourn not your queen, for thou shalt dishonor her in recourse in thy sorrow. Iinstead, seek thee to make her legacy not fade into obscurity." he grinned and turned to Arioch.  "Personally I'd rather have you my dear as my friend than my enemy. For the sake of the girls you know, it pains them so to see us always fighting." he said and reached out and brushed her hair out of her face easily and gave her a wolfish grin.  "But right now. I think I need to have a drink if you'll excuse me." he said, stepping back and giving her a curt bow before turning a corner and walking away.<br>
<br>
Once out of sight, he would return to his hunt for the feeling of the shard's power, he wanted to find it before Annie or the others did. Maybe they'd give him a bit more respect if he could get to it before they did. or maybe not: those people were all stupid jackasses it seemed.   He knew he could irritate Arioch and the others  but as long as he didn't take offensive or violent steps toward them they didn't have reason to attack him. It was good to be bad sometimes... And he wanted to see them whup Gandrian for once.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">The mere thought of disguising herself as a High Elf so that she could openly walk around Cam was, in a word, ridiculous. So much so that the Drow openly scoffed at the idea of doing so. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">"No offense Lord Malak, but I'd die a thousand deaths before I dared disguise myself as one of <i>them</i>,"</span> Nekar said, the tone of her voice low and even. She was able to retain her calm on the surface, however, her cool was slowly slipping away from her. She had been, and would continue to be, polite to Malak. However, traces of her usual icy demeanor could be seen. Though it was well reflected in the way that her face seemed to freeze with a cold expression, it could primarily be seen her eyes. They lacked any trace of emotion what-so-ever.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000">"Disguise yourself if you must, but I shall linger in the shadows. It is for the best that I am as far away from any of them as I could possibly be. I would hate it if we failed because I was unable to control myself,"</span> she added. Saying that helped her re-establish, in her mind, what their objective here was. Slaughter, though fun, was not why they were here. They were here because they needed to find the shard to return to the King of Darkness.<br>
<br>
Before stepping into the city, the assassin took a moment to calm herself. Once she was able to center her mind, her killing intent disappeared. Then, her presence slowly but surely faded as well. One by one, it all fell away until it was only possible for Malak to see and hear her. That was only because she was allowing him to do so.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4000"> "I won't be directly beside you in the city m'lord, but I shall be nearby. If, by some chance, they are able to pick up on your presence, know that my blade will not be so far that it cannot protect you."</span> The whole point of her being here with Malak was to keep harm from befalling him. Though entering Cam was a special situation, she would continue to protect his life.<br>
<br>
Malak had reason to feel at ease knowing this. Before becoming a Colonel in the Dark Army, Nekar served as a member of the Blackguard -one of the King's personal guards. She specialized in shadowing the King without being noticed, striking any enemy down from the shadow that dared even try to harm the King, and seemingly fading from existence at the drop of a pin. She was good, very good, at what she did. That was why she was in the position she was in now. The only reason she was not still a member of the Blackguard was because the King promoted her from their ranks.<br>
<br>
What little of the Drow that could be sensed faded away as she stepped through the hole that Malak created in the wall around the city. Sight, sound, smell, her killing intent, her aura, even the cool that lingered in the air around her body faded away. But as she said, she would remain close enough to Malak to protect him should anything happen.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><i>Fairly often. When he's hammered. Won't remember agreement.</i><br>
<br>
Ranis sighed hearing those words. Naolin was one of <i>'those'</i> kinds of drunks. The ones who liked to hit on anything that had a pulse. On the off-chance she was ever able to catch him sober, she would have to remember to set some ground rules so that there would be no misunderstandings between the two of them in the future. For now, she would have to continue to remind herself that she should forgive him for what he was doing, no matter how much it annoyed her. The Dragon Queen decided to focus her attention on the sell sword, Renate. She was polite, and she seemed to have her head on straight. More so than Naolin did at any rate.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"What I offer isn't just a sword, but another pair of ears. Surely, looking for this group all by yourself can not be easy. With another person searching, your chances of finding what you seek double, do they not,"</span> Ranis asked. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"Do not lose hope, I'm sure the day will come when you are able to find her, and you will be able to find answers to all of your questions then."</span> There was no way that Ranis could guarantee any of the things she had just mentioned, but she was optimistic that - perhaps for this person - it would be possible for her to have a happy ending. In this mess of a world, there had to be at least one person who would be able to find happiness.<br>
<br>
Seeing the way that her new friend perked up at the thought of having another to travel with made a smile form on the humanoid dragon's face. She preferred to see people happy and smiling. Genuinely. To her, that was when people always looked their best. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"Yes, the Northerlands. It is. . .rather cold there. Much more so than most beings seem to be able to stand. Being in such a place helps my people retain their neutrality. Other leaders, spies, assassins. . .they wouldn't last very long there, at least, not without certain assistance. They would be hard pressed to gain it,"</span> she said. To gain the trust of a dragon was extremely difficult. To gain the trust of a dragon to the point that they allowed on entrance into their domain? Near impossible. There were very few who gained such an honor - all people she could name off the top of her head.<br>
<br>
Upon feeling Naolin's hand on her chest, she quickly took hold of his wrist and moved it away. If he was going to be this bothersome, she would have to give him an incentive to stop. Ranis neither looked at him nor did she pay what he said any attention. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"Would you mind if I asked about yourself? From where do you hail?"</span>[/list:u][/list:u]</li>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000"><i>This was definitely not part of the planâ?¦</i></span> but then again, when was it ever? Brand continued to just stare at the second newcomer, as he followed Jiuâ??ne pass the gates. His mind wasnâ??t completely calm, as he suspected something dangerous from the Captain, but there was something else that made his heart beat an extra beat. It wasnâ??t the thrill of something sweet and lovely, but rather, of a powered charge that made his adrenaline spike randomly like thunder in the sky.<br>
<br>
Valen was being as protective and strung as ever and whether or not that was a change in his behavior wasnâ??t something Brand noted. He had always known the eldest knight to be an older brother of sort, or perhaps closer to an uncle he didnâ??t have. But the words that he seemed to throw at Jiuâ??ne were almost as deadly as his spearâ??s point towards Xion at the moment. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??You can show us later, when heâ??s not around.â?</span> the blonde offered, as if the newcomer was afraid of showing his face towards the dragon in human form. Truthfully, he had to wonder who this person was as well, because the feeling of being around Jiuâ??ne was familiar. He couldnâ??t pinpoint it though, even though he remembered plenty from the â??older daysâ??. Peace never lasted long, but Brand considered himself lucky to have been born in peaceful times.<br>
<br>
When he was able to focus again, as he had allowed his mind to wander, he saw that the dragon had brushed Ariochâ??s face and left without another word. Pressing his lips together to prevent him from shouting out at the redhead that he should keep his paws to himself, he briskly walked up to the Elf and pulled out a small cloth he had that worked as a handkerchief. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Well, that was certainly new. Didnâ??t scare you, did it, Ari?â?</span> Brand joked, knowing that she was probably irritated rather than scared. Pausing before her, he reached out with the handkerchief and gently brushed it against her cheek where Xionâ??s hand had touchedâ??as if the dragonâ??s flesh was dirty compared to the Elfâ??s.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Letâ??s not pursueâ?¦ we should catch up with our fiery one. Lynnira has left us for shelter it appears.â?</span> he softly chuckled, eyes seemingly sparkling towards Arioch as he addressed Valen. He just hoped that the wind knight didnâ??t scold their female counterpart, as she had broke formation and left without counsel. Whether or not she could handle herself wasnâ??t the question. Lynnira was strong and temperamental. But if they were to get attacked, they would be more vulnerable when separated.<br>
<br>
Teamwork was apparently another â??thing of the pastâ??, and he had to bite down hard on his tongue to prevent himself from becoming emotional about it. He wouldnâ??t doubt them or their cause though, because he had fate in their group uniting to be stronger than the scrambled group of the Dark Army.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Elvin ears twitched as he continued to watch the group before him, entering and passing the gates. Gandrian didnâ??t fear that he had to sneak in, as he knew that he was of pure enough blood that heâ??d be able to waltz right in. However, it was amusing to watch them interact, and not surprisingly, he watched as Lynnira swiftly head for what appeared to be their goaled direction. Xion didnâ??t seem to care, as he was fixated on the Elf that was in their group, which made the silver-blue tilt his head in curiosity.<br>
<br>
From what he could hear, she was a healer as well. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bf40"><i>So sheâ??s my replacement....</i></span> he concluded. The General wasnâ??t spiteful or bitter about it, but it was almost akin to a morbid fascination. Was she as strong as him? Perhaps, but then again, perhaps not. Strength was not measured by their physical abilities, though that did have a small degree of importance, but upon their elements and their experiences. Moral judgment was a large factor, and he had more blood of the innocents on a strand of his hair than she had in her body. Briefly, he wondered if she would turn into a killer like he had, because as he observed them, he noted that the females of the group seemed to be moreâ?¦ depressing. They were spiteful and angered easily, and while darkness might have been taught into the heart of men, it seemed like Lynnira and the Elfâ??Arioch was it?â??had darkness born into them.<br>
<br>
If he was trusted to be near them like Xion had been, he would have used his chance to lure the women to the darker side somehow. Not a large gap of a chance to do so, but they would be much easier than someone like Valen or Brand. In fact, he would have loved to swoop down there when the Captain had shown up to join the fun, but the small fact that Brand was there left him no choice but to stay stationed. Gandrian didnâ??t worry about taking on Lynnira, as he remembered being heel to heel with her, while being toe to toe with the wind wielder. But while he had been on par with the older knights, the youngest had always been able to knock him unconscious with a burst of thunder.<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bf40"><i>Vali, Valiâ?¦what do I have to do to get you alone?</i></span> the former knight pondered, twirling a piece of his hair like some child. His mind wandered and he physically winced as he felt more of the nature around them killed. Absently, he wondered if the other members of his â??teamâ?? had done something to their surroundings. That puppy was probably eating something right off the bone, so he assumed it was either Nekar or Malak. Ah, if only the King gave him permission to mentor the heads of the Dark Armyâ?¦ heâ??d like to fuck her over in many ways.</div>
