Boy, this one is rather guarded! I thought and silently smiled and shook my head. I heard some thing and signaled for my new companions to stop. I went ahead and found the she elf, the shape shifter a new person [legoles] leaning over her. hailed them. "hoy friends! I bring the other damaged party!" with that i waved Niko and Akamai over. Akamai rushed over to her elven friend who appeared to be asleep, for she snored lightly.

Fimbrethil · 09-20-2003, 05:39 PM

OOC:Well at least Gulio answered my post!

Suddeendly right infront of Crow Niko and Akamai a falcon plumeted to the earth then shifted into a young girl. "Any one seen Ildandre?" I asked. "If you have could you please show me where he is. I would have helped with the fight but my kind teacher forgot to tell me that slugs should not go near salt. I nearly died."

The last sane person · 09-20-2003, 05:49 PM

"Another one?" I smiled, oh boy, one cant go but ffour paces without bumping into someone these days! I pointed to the other shape shifter. "Is that who you are looking for?" [I am Crow]

Fimbrethil · 09-20-2003, 05:55 PM

"Yes that is who I'm looking for. I'm Fery by the way. Hope to see you again." Turning toward Ilandre. "Oiy Teach! There isn't anything you happened to forget to tell me about slugs is there?!"

Kalile · 09-20-2003, 05:59 PM

Ooc: Whoa. Do you all agree to get on and post while I'm sleeping or something?

Ic: Kaitryona walked in the wraith world still, not even trying to leave anymore. Somehow she became aware of a beautiful music, words distinguishing themselves from the melody in her mind.
"Go back, little mage. Go back." A soothing touch on her brow made her open her eyes slowly, to find someone standind over her.
I've been sent back. she thought distantly, what must I do?

Akamai Deredal · 09-20-2003, 07:02 PM

Akamai stood off to the side, closer to Kaitryona than she was to the others. Far too many people. Crow, Niko, Fery... And the others. Shaking her head she sat down with her hands resting in her lap. What could bring so many people together at one time and place? Were they meant to be here even? She caught Niko gazing at the group thoughtfully. Maybe he was thinking the same. Her head turned as a small stirring movement came from Kaitryona. She's awake....

OOC: I missed a little, so hehe, I'm a bit confused... Oh well. On with the show.

The last sane person · 09-20-2003, 11:01 PM

OOC: So, you managed to muddle yourself up again?

I wonder what brings so many people here to my little neck of the woods? I noticed the she elf awake and nodded. to contemplate matters more closely i slipped into a shadow and dissapeared to another part of my wood. Now, what would bring such a molty crew flouncing into my forebidden wood? i pondered and kept a part of my mind focused on the little band.

OOC: This is Crow's kingdom. Kinda like mirkwood only alot nicer and he isnt stuck up like King Thranduril. So, um, yeah....whats the plot? or are we to go on a quest for the lost plotline?

Akamai Deredal · 09-20-2003, 11:14 PM

OOC: *chants* Quest quest quest! *laughs* and yes, LSP, I have managed to muddle myself up again... I've got quite a skill at that, as I'm sure you'll find out.

Akamai stared at the group again as Kaitryona muttered and sat up, holding her head in her hands. Not looking at her companion, Akamai chuckled, "Have a nice nap, did you?"
Kaitryona shot a dark glare at Akamai. "If you had gone were I've just been you wouldn't be saying that. Who are these people?"
"Actually, I have no idea really. They helped us though, but I still don't trust them."
"You never trust anyone, Akamai. Didn't even trust me for the longest time."
"It isn't safe to trust people at first. Must make them work for it. You still have that to learn, mage."
She turned her head towards Kaitryona though her eyes were cast down. One of the others were missing, but she couldn't figure out which one. "We're leaving, Kait. As soon as we can. I don't like it here."
"You just don't like the amount of people around you. You always were a lone wolf..."
"Be that as it may, we're going. Or at least I am."

OOC: Kalile, I'm sorry I'm making Kait talk for you! lol, just trying to move things along

The last sane person · 09-20-2003, 11:27 PM

OOC: Move things along indeed. The only place you are moving them around in is in the dark!

Aha! So the little strays are on the move! I silently slipped back into the clearing and stayed in the shadows. No one had missed me. I was their shadow as they moved through my realm.

Artarias · 09-20-2003, 11:45 PM

OOC: If you have no destination, you can't really go the wrong direction anyway

IC: Niko gazed at the faint stars that he could see, "I knew there would be blood spilled tonight..." He drew his sword and tapped Akamai on the shoulder with the tip of his sword, making her whirl around and glare at him, "You still haven't told us what happend."

Akamai Deredal · 09-20-2003, 11:54 PM

OOC: Maybe I can't help the fact that I'm so stupid. I'm sorry I'm screwing things up for you, LSP... Would you rather I leave?

Akamai brushed Niko's sword away by the flat of the blade with her hand. "What do you mean, what happened? My friend and I were traveling. We were attacked by those... things you found us with, and here we are now. Sorry to bring you all out here, but you'll be assured to know that I--at least--will be leaving shortly. As for my friend," she shot a look at Kaitryona, "I'm not sure. But thank you for the help." She pushed herself from the ground and dusted her clothes off. Casting one glance around at the small group, she turned on her heel and headed towards the trees.

The last sane person · 09-21-2003, 12:04 AM

OOC: Now, now! Dont go running off!

As the Lynethe Ran to the trees i followed her and stopped her.

"I am gratefull for your assistance but leave me alone!"

"I think not. I am lord of the woods and all surronding areas, you are in my lands and i would like to know in detail why!" The silver crown that i hid by illusion flared around my head and the girl merely stared agape.

" I am know as Lord Crow Nightshade by those who know me and this is my forebidden wood. Rarely does anyone come within my realm and retains their life. I would like to know your purpose in the least." I stated firmly drawing myself up to full height and looking down at her with my arms crossed.

Akamai Deredal · 09-21-2003, 12:17 AM

Akamai stared up at him, a inquisitive look in her eyes before she bowed her head. "Forgive me... Lord. I didn't know your rank." She made no other movement to register the given respect for the title. "As for why I am here... I already told you that I would not give it to you. Forgive me for any disrespect, but it is my business and it shall stay this way. Just be grateful I'm leaving." She glanced up at him as she straightened her shirt out. "Now if you'll excuse me..."

The last sane person · 09-21-2003, 12:26 AM

I sighed. "no, you wont be excused. Please, i do not want to become an enemy." I looked inot her heart and saw the reason. "If you have an appointment with a militia i ask you why do you come through my wood? there are other safer ways to get there!" I sensed something was amiss.

Akamai Deredal · 09-21-2003, 12:33 AM

Her eyes narrowed as she stared up at him. "All right. There's no need to threaten me. I know I'm in no condition to fight anyone right now... What do you want to know, Lord? I've got a fortnight to be in Madelia or my family dies. What's left of it anyway. Kaitryona's the only one that would come with me. What I do when I get there, I don't know. I was told I'd recieve my next orders there. Anything else?"

She hadn't meant to snap, but it was irritating to have to talk about the subject. Only Kaitryona and those otherwise involved were intended to know. There's no time like the present... She sighed, "Forgive me for being rude... It's just not something I find easy to speak about..."

The last sane person · 09-21-2003, 12:36 AM

"that i understand." I said softly. A part of me was indignant at the blatant bitchiness of her retort yet the majority of me wanted to help this odd little Lynethe. "is there anyway i can help? And dont tell me 'no' because aftr this little parade of you being captured and nearly eaten, i can tell you do!"

Akamai Deredal · 09-21-2003, 12:43 AM

She thought for a moment, her eyes falling to the ground again, something unusal for her. "Your help... would be greatly appreciated, Lord Nightshade. But I do not want to drag anyone else into this."

She glanced back where Kaitryona and they others were. Kait didn't even need to be here... She was of her own accord. No one else should have to be placed with her. "I asked if you needed the help, so I'm not being dragged into anything."

OOC: I'm killing iiit!

The last sane person · 09-21-2003, 12:46 AM

OOC: no your not. dont worry. i'll not let it die.

"so then. what has happened to your family that you must rescue them?" The girl was looking at her friend. She was thinking that she shouldnt really drag anyone into her bussiness. "every one needs assistance now and again. Call me Crow" i added in my soft voice.

Akamai Deredal · 09-21-2003, 12:54 AM

Akamai managed a small smile. "Yes, everyone does need help." She looked back up at Crow, the smile now faded from her lips as well as her eyes. "It's not what my family did. It's what I did. The king has taken them from me, in order to get me to return to the kingdom. In chains or headless if he has his way."
Her bright eyes flashed suddenly with regret and she looked up at him. "I'm not so sure you'll be as eager to help if you knew everything... and not everything am I willing to tell."

The last sane person · 09-21-2003, 12:59 AM

"i'll be the judge of that." I wanted to here more of the story. I think i knew the king and the story fro i had heard word of a wanted person running away. But i wasnt sure. "bring the others with me. We go to my mannor where everyone can rest."
