The man and the minotaur were heading back to the camp. Dargoth had escaped without any problems. A few unfortunate goblins had caught up with him, but he had made short work of them. They now fed the creatures of the forest. As they reached the camp, they moved without making a sound. Conn and Dargoth steped in the small clearing, where Olwen is sleeping. The minotaur saw her under te tree and suddenly took out his axe and ran screaming towards her. In a leap Conn was besides him and caught his hands just as they were coming down, ready to cut Olwen in half.
"Easy there, goat...." Conn said in a harsh voice, his muscles tensing beneath his skin. Trying to hold the minotaur was no easy task even for a man of his build.
"Let me introduce to you my capture from the goblins' camp. She's allright. Just don't let her touch you.It's safer that way...Who knows what she might find in your head?" he continued.
All this time Olwen was looking at them, unable to move, with a huge batle axe only a pace away from her head...

[Portmore docks]
...as the Five, Sir Dunco and their company step on Portmore's docks, the black dressed Elf nods at the fire knight on the flying nightmare...
- we are going to find Cirion, the rest of you find a place to stay ...unless of course you already found a place for you and your crew, Dunco... and try to be subtle about it, we don't need various people coming after our heads...
..with that, Lith morphs into a dolphin and jumps in the sea, Knightmare follows right behind him...
[on the small island]
...before Cirion can answer, the mysterious lass appears again, this time she seems more confident, Andrew and Cirion turn to face her and she smiles... I'm Sell Aer or at least this is how some Elves I knew called me...

In the woods....
Olwen reaches out and touches Dargoth's blade... the axe turns slowy to stone.. as does the minotaur. She reaches out with her foot and nudges the statue over into a nearby bush.
Conn looks at her in horrifyed disgust.
-What have you done? Turn him back...
Olwen glares at him.
-Why should I? I was protecting myself. I can do what I please.
Lightening quick, Conn pins her agianst a tree by her throat, his eyes filled with anger.
-I won't ask nicely again.. turn him back
In portmore...
Ffion hides in the shadows and watches passers by. The presence of the ocean is calming in this urban place at least. Although she could reveal herself, she does not feel comfortable embracing the light yet. Not really. She has, however, taken the time to trim some more arrows, hand within an easy grasping distance of her dagger all the while. She stettles her bow on her shoulder and waits for the night....

Kila had been travelling for several days now. (OOC: Months, since my last post, but here we go  ) She knew that it was a very risky thing she was doing, but it would be the only hope for both her nation and the entire elven race. Father she thought. Her father had been killed by the initial black dragon assault, bravely defending the fleeing archdruids. She was too far away to do anything but scream in rage, and it was only because of Jacen's level-headedness that she had escaped alive.
Her heart dropped again as she thought of Jacen. Her long-time friend and confidant, they had grown up together as children. She had entered the homeguard, training to defend the forests, and he had entered the Green Hunters, a sect of warrior-mages that were the fiercest and most skilled of all the elves.
She suddenly jerked out of her daydreaming as she detected movement in the distance. Dropping into a crouch, she scurried up a large fir tree, peering into the valley below. Elven-sharp vision showed her a patrol of cyclops with a platoon of goblin fighters, travelling through the valley. She realized that the armed company must be from a barbarian city nearby- cyclops usually did not accompany goblins unless in a formal army. She watched them travel parallel to the river for a few more moments, then slipped away toward the direction they had departed from. The elves needed a war to bring them together, and she hoped that in the process the nations would not tear each other apart.

Anger still blazing in his eyes, Conn let Olwen drop on the ground unceremoniously. He couldn't understand how such a spoiled brat could've made it through the forest, and with a horde of goblins proding her from behind. But, withh all his admiration, he couldn't live her unpunished. And he needed Dargoth returned to life. Suddenly, he lifted her off the ground and went to the river just outsie his camp.
" You have been with those goblins for too long. Maybe you need a bath.." he smiled, but the smile ever reached his eyes.
" You wouldn't! You brute! Let me down or i'll turn you too into stone" Olwen started yelling, as Conn was holding her head dow, by her legs.
" Not if you're under water, you won't!" Conn said as he started lowering her into the water.
After dipping her a few times, Conn asked:
" Will you turn my friend back to life?"
"Never!" came the answer in a coughing voice
Carfull not to be touched by her hands, he dropped her to the ground, and quickly tied her hands behind her back. He then went to a bush nearby and took a few leaves.
" One last time: will you turn him back?"
" Not even for the crown of the Elf King, i won't! You are just as bad as those goblins!" Olwen replied.
" Very well." Conn said, and he strated rubiing her body with the crushed leaves, leaving behind a foul smell.
" What are you doing?! Get you hands off me! I am the daughter of a king, not to be touched by the filthy hands of a...of a...." Olwen couldn't find her words.
"Don't overestimate yourslef, my lady. While you decide what i am, let me explain what i am doing: this is the favourite food of some insects around here. How much can you live with a swarm of ants biting ecery piece of your body?"

[on the small island]
...Sell smiles at Andrew and walks towards Cirion, this time creating some clothes to cover her body...
- it is not you he who can assist me half-Elf... but this Dwarven sea-man... I have been following you for quite some time... one could even say I missed you when you left the sea almost four seasons ago... I saved your life earlier, a Dwarf who loves the sea is a hard thing to find... only thing stranger would be a halfling sailor...
- that much I understood already lass, yet ye have nae told me what exactly ye need me help...
...before Sell can answer, a dolphin jumps out of the water, morphing into an Elf dressed in black before it touches the ground... the newcomer raises his head and looks at Cirion...
- everything under control, brother?
... a figure on a winged horse approaches the island within a few seconds...

In the woods...
-Fine.
Olwen lets out an ear-piercing scream right by the Barbarian's ear. The stone around the minotaur shatters and he is left feeling confused as to how he ended upside-don in bush. Conn claps his hand to his ear to try and stop the ringing noise.
-Why did you do that??
-You said turn him back. That's the only way I know. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to bathe now..

Dargoth appears from the woods rubbing his neck
" What happend? I remember trying to kill an intruder, next thing i wake up in the bushes...Who is that?" he notices the tied up figure
" Your intruder..." Conn replies, then turns and unties the girl " Go and wash yourself, but be quick about it! We have to leave soon"
" But, what..." the minotaur is confused
" No time to explaine now. Go and clear the camp" Conn's voice does not allow for anything else..." Now, if this wench could be quicker about her bath..." he whispers to himself.

...in a small camp after Lith rejoins Sirdunco with his comanions...
After long weeks of pursuit the ragged elf finally finds his quarry. “It seems that my enemies are in one place,” the wildelf thinks as he looks upon the small group. The “Gift” of the witch gives him an abnormally accurate aim and he takes aim at his former companion.
<Thwackk>
<Thwackk>
<Thwackk>
He loosed three arrows in quick succession. Lith fall forward into the arms of one of his companions.
SirDunco cries out, “The assassin is back, to arms and get ready.”
Lith moves over to Dunco, “I think he is by that hedgerow,” Lith says, “Try to catch him alive. He is an old friend,”
Dunco looks back startled. “Shouldn’t you be dead?”
Lith smiles, “Some folk are easier to kill than others.” Just as Lith finishes his thought an arrow rips through his throat and leaves his neck a hideous mass. Dunco stares in horror as the flesh begins to reform and Lith rises again.
“Die you undead scum!” Is heard throughout the forest, as the small party begins to slowly encroach upon the hidden archer.
Lith rubs his neck, “This one is gonna cost me, the bloodlust might be uncontrollable. I want him alive..” Lith rasps through his mangled throat.
Just as the company is about to descend upon the wildelf a shimmering vortex opens and armies of behemoths and unicorns erupt from the opening. Greenleaf had already sang his death song and didn’t expect to survive this reckoning but the plight of the unicorns brought him back to his childhood love of the beasts. He sings the song of control and brings the unicorns to him. He jumps on the leader’s back and tells him in the language of the ‘corn to run through the clearing into SirDunco’s camp. Up and away the Unicorns run and the behemoths follow into the camp. Greenleaf tosses down a leaf and calls back to Lith and Dunco. “We shall meet again betrayers, have some fun with my new friends.”
Lith turns back to see the enraged Behemoths attack his camp, thinking this has not been a good night.

Andrew is confused but he decides to help the group. Knowing that arrows will do little damage to the behemoths Andrew grabs his two mithril swords and barely dodges a behemoth's claw. He jumps on the back of the behemoth and stabs the behemoth in the eye. The monster roars in pain. Andrew stabs the other sword in the creature's neck and slides down ripping through the behemoth's throat. The beast fall on the ground. Dead. Andrew picks his two swords and rushes to help the others.

In the battle...
Two arrows fly through the air, catching one of the Behemoths square in the eyes... It keels over, wailing...
A small figure leaps from a tree, two more arrows already on it's bow. It's hood falls back to reveal a scar running through one eye. Two more arrows fly.. one into the throat of a unicorn poised to kill, which collapses to the ground, the other into the flank of a behemoth...
Ffion replaces the arrows and sends another bout forth...

[in Dunco's camp]
..Lith holds his throat, still healing the wound Greenleaf gave him, with one hand while slashing through the attackers, Knightmare and Lachradir fly by his side... Breg Carag slashes a behemoth's ribs, while Gea keeps cocooning enemies that try to kill him... a few meters away, Romana and Vaho are trying to protect the wounded... all eyes turn to the Elven lass, as her arrows save the lives of two of Dunco's men but just before the proper introduction can be made (even in the heat of the battle), two behemoths are being pushed back by a force far greater than the great beasts... Cirion and Sell Aer appear as a wave forces the bulk of the attackers out of the camp... after a while, Dunco's hunters return empty handed... one of them has an arrow in his back and another is one eye short... the two healers rush to them, as the few unharmed approach Sir Dunco...
- we lost him... he is no ordinary Elf... he is a demon...
- Calenlass has been walking these woods even before you were born... he is changed from the last time I saw him... then we parted as friends... now he greets me with an arrow in my throat... whatever caused that change, surely didn't affect his tracking ability or his bond with the forest... he is a Wild Elven captain... you are mere soldiers... no match for him... now if you excuse me...
...with that, Lith approaches the newcomer.. she looks at him and puts her hand on a small knife in her belt...
- I mean you no harm, thank you for your aid but, excuse me for noting that, you don't quite fit in here... these woods are not the place you could call home... who are you and why did you choose to help us?

In the camp
"Greenleaf!! It's him who's been following us!" Sir Dunco says to Vilenith, as the last attacker falls from and arrow shot by Dunco.
"Well is the scarf for Lith ready?" Sir Dunco then asks
"Yes here it is." Vilenith answers handing Sir Dunco a greenscraf that was soaked in herbal extracts."It should heal the wound absolutely." Vileniht adds.
Sir Dunco takes the scraf and walks over to Lith who is by the newcomer. Sir Dunco hands Lith the scarf and says.
"Belive me Lith. I know u can heal the wound urslef, but this scarf will fix ur throat as if nothing happened."
Lith looks at Sir Dunco wondering what to do, but then puts the scarf on. Then he turns back to the newcomer. Sir Dunco steps up and says looking at the newcomer.
"So who do we have here?"

Andrew is happy nobody notices him because he doesn't like introductions very much. The halfelf sits down on a rock and looks at the corpses of the four behemoths he killed. He is happy to be in battle again. Andrew remembers his father and realizes he must be very worried. Andrew's face darkens and he starts to think of a plan to get home.

At the camp...
Ffion looks at the wide assembly of creatures... and laughs
-Well, I guess if any of you were going to try and attack me, you'd have done it by now
She removes her hand from the dagger
-How long do we have?
Sir Dunco and Lith look at each other
-Enough time
Lith answers.
Ffion removes her cloak and begins her story..
-My name is Ffion, I have no other. I was exhiled from my people when I was younger, after a fight with one of their leaders, a corrupt individual. He gave me this scar
She points to the ugly wound which runs over the side of her face and the lid of her dark blue eye, the only blemish on her skin.
-So I learned the ways of the woods and later the world... mastering the bow, the dagger, the arts of stealth, disguse and theivery, and how to speak in any tounge. As I have no home, I travel and learn and try and do things for the greater good... after all, When you learn something, you should use your skill to give something back.. I helped you because you were being attacked, seemingly for no reason... and I am assuming that such a varied band of travellers must have some kind of agenda...
Ffion leans back against a tree, arms folded, leather covered legs crossed.
-The question is... what agenda is it? If it's worth fighting for, I am sorry to say you will be stuck with me..
Many miles away, with Conn and Dargorth
The small party of three is on the move, Dargorth engaging in resasonably polite conversation with Olwen (who has decided, vocally, that the minotaur is more civilised than her rescuer)
Conn walks slightly ahead, somewhat disturbed... it is too quiet here... the only noise the murmer of the trees.. he finds himself uneasy.

the magic that held the Gold Dragon tight were realease as soon the bazaar was being attack upon...seing the only exit the dragon gathers himself and flies thru the portal not knowing where it will lead him.
the dwarfs seing a chance to indulge themselves in a fight lunged themselves at the invaders..."to arms boys! to arms!"

...at the Ivory Tower...
The mages were in confusion, but their confinment had been released with the power of the reckoning. The destruction of Erathia sent waves of magical energy that colapsed the spells that the elementalists imposed upon the council. It seemed that the wizards were going to be able to leave and fight this war on there terms.
In the confusion an old man lay prone on the grounud.
"I see you have lost your protection old man." said Jerome.
The old one stirred, "Ah I was expecting you, I was hoping that you could release me from my burden."
"And release you I shall," Jerome said as he plunged the necromancer's blade deep into the old man's chest. As he pulled it out he saw that no blood was drawn and the old one sat there with a bewildered look.
"I had hoped thhis magical upheaval would have broken my curse." The old man said, "But alas, it is not to be." The old man rose to his feet. He grabbed Jerome and lifted him off the ground. "Who is your master?"
"I work for myself..." <Slapp> Jerome was rocked by the might of the blow.
"Don't lie to me. I ask again."
"I have no master.."<Slapp> Jerome's jaw was a broken mass.
"Last chance."
"I work for the Archmage...Please let me down." Jerome begged.
"Wrong answer." The old one reached deep within Jerome's chest and pulled out his still beating heart. "I am your master. And don't ever cross me again. I think I'll put this in a safe place." The old man seemed himself again as he fiddled with a small Pandoran box. "The funny thing about this spell is that if this box is ever opened, you will die. But as long you heart is away from your body, you will stay alive." The old man opened a portal to a lava plane and pushed Jerome into the flaming sea. "It doesn't block out pain though."
People paused in the chaos as they heard Jerome's screams as the portal closed.
The old man went back to the artifact merchant and took a long and quiet nap.
