It was rather late before he bothered to return to the tavern, he figured that his little traveling mate would probably be asleep with how tired she was by the time they got here. Though he was poorly mistaken as he walked into the tavern and she was sitting at one of the tables on the ground floor of the place.
He never said a word to her, maybe she wouldn't notice and he could avoid whatever questioning she was going to give him. Though maybe she'd keep her thoughts to herself. Though he doubted he'd get that lucky.. then again what did he care it wasn't something that concerned her. |
Elvara looked up as she heard the doors to the tavern open. That is when she set eyes upon Zek and she glared. Banging her cup on the table she smirked as he looked towards her. Bringing her hand up to her face she drew him in with a curl of her finger. She was not sure if he would come to her or not but she was shocked when he did.
When he got near Elvara hissed at him "Where the hell have you been?" She asked. Though Elvara wasnt stupid she knew exactly what he was doing 'Though I shouldnt even ask..." She said smelling the air "You reek of it" With that she stood and brushed past him angerly. She was not sure why it bothered her so much but the smell combined with the late hour made her blood boil. |
He wasn't going to go to her but instead he figured he'd humor her for the moment. Though when she hissed at him what he was doing or where he had been he smirked a bit. "Do I really need to tell you, tsk besides whats it matter?" Not like she should be caring about what he did or where he went.
Though after a moment she seemed to get mad enough at him as she stood and walked past him apparently going back towards the room. "tsk well if you knew why the hell ask!" He hissed at her before letting her get enough space between him and her as he started walking. Not like he had a choice he had to do certain things.. he wasn't about to die on her behalf just because it pissed her off. After waiting till he heard the door slam he shook his head and followed towards the direction of the room. After opening the door and getting a new glare from her he simply rolled his eyes before walking towards the side room attached to the small room that was the main quarters. "if you must know not all of us have a luxury of choosing how we live our lives.. so maybe think about that before you growl at someone." He said before leaving her alone and going into the other room. |
She growled before she stalked after him "Not all of us get to choose how we 'live our lives' as you so kindly put it!" She said before she shoved him a little causing him to stumble a little before he turned and shw as right there waiting for it. She growled at him again before huffing and turning. The male behind her confused and angered her all in one! And just by a simple thing!
Elvara knew she shouldnt be angry but she couldnt help it. For some reason thought of Zek with another...it angered her! And she just met the other male. She cursed as she punched the door frame on her way out of the small room the wood cracking and groaning in protest she really needed to calm down. |
He ignored her comment as he left the room, he didn't have to deal with her. Hell why was he following her again? Right entertainment. Though he wasn't sure if it was worth this if she was going to get pissed over him living his life the way he had to.
Though after he was in the other room he went about to take a shower, and ignored anything she said further through the door. He just wanted a fast shower, personally he didn't really enjoy what he did, but it needed to be done. After a while longer he came back out leaving his shirt off as he tossed next to the bed she wasn't laying on. "not to piss you off more but if I do don't what i did tonight once in a while i'll die, and im sure as hell not rolling over just because you don't like the thought of it" He growled at her before sitting on the bed with a slight hint of announce written in his body language. |
She listened though she didnt care anymore. Laying down in bed with her back towards him she covered herself up with the blanket "Tsk...whatever" Was all she said before curling up until she was in a ball. Really she was not sure why it even mattered but for some reason it did.
"Just shut up and let me sleep" She said her voice muffeled by the blankets. In truth she wasnt tired but it was better then listening to him speak or her own thoughts for that matter. She just wanted to continue on as if nothing happened. |
"whatever you want then" He complained before he moved to lay down his back towards her as well. He swore he wasn't going to be able to stand this woman for too many more days. But for now he'd put up with it till he figured out what she was up to.
He ignored any further comments if she made any, really he wasn't tired but if he stayed up he'd just be in a worse mood tomorrow. Though this hardly lasted long as after a few hours into the night he gave up on sleeping. Sitting up he just stayed there though he wasn't watching her, more of lost in his own thoughts.Most of them going over past events and reasons he still held onto a to why he refused to fight. |
The morning light drifted into the room and Elvara groaned lightly in protest as it reached the lids of her eyes. Blinking slowly she awoke. Sitting up she stretched cracking joints and stretching muscles. Standing she went to the bathroom. A little while later she came out and looked at Zek who was just sitting there. "Come on" She said "Lets go" With that she turned the handle and left the room.
Elvara stood just outside the door and waited until Zek grumbled something and moved after her. Walking down she paid her dues to the bar keep leaving some gold coins for the stay before leaving. The day would be long but they would make it to the town she needed to go by night fall. "So...Zekrak...." She began "Tell me about your kingdom?" She said in the form of a wuestion "I mean I know something but not alot" She said softly almost out of thought. Elvara was in a good mood today for some reason so talking was on her mind. |
He didn't say too much to her as they left the tavern. Though there wasn't too much to really say. He really just wanted to keep to himself seeing as she didn't like what he had to do to stay alive he saw no purpose in trying to talk to her.
Though the silence of the walk was broken when she asked a odd question. He looked at her a bit oddly. "what question is that, it's probably like yours. Not a big deal really" He shrugged a little. Though she didn't seem convinced by his description. "its run well enough to be run by a drow of common blood without a king.." he snapped out a little before he seemed to shut up again, it was probably a unknown fact that the only royal blood he had was from his fathers side, his mother was a common drow though one of the top metal smiths on the continent. Well she was when she worked on such things. "Te main things we focus on is our crafts around the areas.. aside from that it's rather uneventful. I get called back to the kingdom and get to entertain whatever nobles that show during the events that are held throughout the year." He shrugged again before speaking. "there happy with that description.." The thought of him properly dressed was probably something she couldnt fathom even. |
Elvara crossed her arms and raised her nose in the air "I was trying to be nice and have a conversation but noooo you have to be an ass about it!" She said in a huff. "God its true what they say...Drows are thick headed" She said and at the start of his protest she cut him off "Your mother was a drow. No matter what you do that blood runs through your veins" She said with a little glare.
"That and the temper, attitude and ears to" She said looking at him with a tilt of her head "Its all there" She said again before bending her arms and crossing them over the back of her head "Maybe thats why we dont get along" She said slightly. |
He smirked a bit listening to her go on "works for me, I didn't plan to get alone with one of my own kind anyway." He shrugged a little "to be honest I wasn't trying to be a ass.. its just." He seemed to pause a moment. "I don't enjoy the whole events of the nobles and royals.." He frowned a little thinking about it. "though i guess to make you happy im sure they'll go sending some of the riders out to fetch me soon enough.." He really seemed displeased with the idea that he was going to have to go back. Though she'd probably be tickled to get rid of him.
|
Elvara shrugged. "I hate it to you know" She said "I hate the nobals and formals and blah blah blah" She said. "Thats why I took up patrole plus the herb specialest in the kingdom" She said "To busy to have to be at home" She smiled looking to him 'I understand completely" She said with a nod of her head.
|
He laughed slightly "yet you said we don't get along, tsk.. " Though he never got the chance to take up what he wanted to do. "least you had a freedom, granted I took up a side profession.. I just never get to practice it as much as I'd like to." He never mentioned what it was though he noticed the look she gave him "no it's nothing to do with the opposite sex.."
really she'd probably laugh at what he was skilled at doing, it was something his mother never did any more yet he had a unnatural talent for just that. Vaden always encouraged him to keep up with it seeing as he always ran off on his own anyway .. it wasn't a bad skill to have as far as traveling went. Let alone it wasn't a common skill anymore. It was a little odd really.. he was use to her being pissed at him not her saying that she understood let alone that they were getting along for a few moments in a conversation. |
Elvara laughed a little at that "Hey you mentioned it" She said playfully. "And what freedom was that?" She asked "I still had to fallow orders and I was dragged back to the castle kicking and screaming" She said with a little laugh. "Though what can you" She said shrugging her shoulders.
|
"Kicking and screaming huh.. I'd almost pay to see that" He smirked a little. "though. I use to fight about going back, I just stopped caring. Go through a few months of entertaining the courts and the I leave again during the tournament season." He seemed to shrug a little, not like he was any worth to his team during that season, sure they both knew he could fight but he refused to do so.
The other odd thought was that Vaden never went to go get him either, then again that damned wizard seemed to always know more then he let on to. It was a little scary at times really. Though this was a bit of a odd conversation, the other day the two could hardly stand one another and from this morning it seemed like tit was going to be a repeat of the other day. |
Elvara nodded her head "Yep for me though it wasnt a wizard like you' She said slightly "It was castle gaurd that came to find me...a dragonoid" She said with a nod of her head "I fought a couple times but soon gave up" Elvara said this a little sigh "It was no fun anymore when she started fighting back' Elvara said with a laugh "Havent beaten her in combat once" She said thinking with a tilt of her head.
The day went by fast as they talked to each other over little things. Soon the reached the town and she stood on the border looking at the wooden buildings. Seeing the black smith on the edge of town she walked over with a smile "Good day sir!" She said "I am in search of a sword" She said "The sword of a dull blade" She said watching the males reaction before her. "The sword of a dull blade. I havent herd that name in awhile" The man said "It is said that the sword rested within the belly of the best in the southern caves" He said 'Though be warned. The beast has razor sharp teeth that match just as sharp claws. With wings that can take it anywhere" He said shivering. |
He laughed weakly. "Heh.. I don't think i've tried to fight back. I hardly trust him to not use a few methods of forcing me to to do as he wants. I''d rather go willingly, though they did use to send the guard." He smirked a bit. "They aren't always the brightest.."
It was a bit odd that they even managed to talk that much, and most of it was about nothing that dreadfully important. Really he was more in shock she hadn't gotten around to cussing him out again just yet. Sure he had been around drows all of his life along with other races but she was hardly acting like most that he had met. Maybe it was because she was from the island instead of here. As she was asking the man if he knew of the blade he was half listening and half not as he seemed to inspect the shop. From his expression he wasn't too impressed by anything there, though he kept his comments to himself. He wasn't about to insult the man in his own shop. Near the end of the conversation he finally walked over to Elvara and heard the end of it before questioning the description. "Thats the best you can tell us is a riddle? You can't just say its a dragon or a ravenger?" He shrugged a little, that wasn't good information to go exploring a cave on, there was a number of beasts that liked caves that it could belong to. Seeing as there was no further information to be had they left the shop. Though after they got a few feet from the building his ears dropped as he glared looking forward a little. "God damn it have humans really lost any sense of craft!" he hissed out finally apparently whatever thoughts he had from before were annoying him to the point he had to voice them. |
Elvara nodded her head "I agree with you there...every weapon in that shop was flawed" She said with a little nod of her head "I could make better things and I dont black smith often" She said "Only once in a while" Though her mind was dragged else where "So lets see. This beast could be different things like a dragon, griffen, shit even something else" She said in a huff crossing her arms starting to walk again.
"Either way I need that sword" She said heading towards the direction of the caves. As they got there she stood outside of it and looked at the big open black mouth of the cave. Unsheathing her double blades from her back she smiled and looked to Zekrak "Well then....50 points for the head of the beast!" She said playfully before darting into the cave. |
He grumbled a little under his breath listening to her "I could make better weapons in my sleep.. " Though his complaint was lost a little. It almost made him sad really the fact that such a shops stayed in business and could sell things that were that poorly made. Sure each weapon had a flaw but.. you should still strive for perfection either way.
"I think we'd be lucky if it were anything but a dragon.. to seek one out in it's own den is not the wisest move to say the least.." He knew that from personal experience that was damn sure.. Though I doubt its a griffin.. they tend to not have teeth. That also counts out any other bird beast you can think of. Unless the information over the years has been skewed." There were the odds of that happening as well. He frowned a bit as she went running off into the cave. "you can keep the points!" He started to let her go off, this was hardly smart to go just running into a cave with no idea of what was in it's depths. "tsk damn it..." He sighed before running after her. "you can die you know that! and I damn sure am not going to finish your quest if you do!" There was no light at all inside the caves, though maybe it was for the better. Having to rely on your other sense meant that your eyes couldn't fool you into thinking something was there when it wasn't. Though on the same note he was pretty sure she could see about as well as he could in the dark from being a drow. It wasn't too far but it was enough to get your barrings if needed and to skip the use of a torch. |
She made her way through the caves listening as Zek yelled at her. She smirked. She needed to get that sword one way or another. Turning a corner she began to notice drawings on the walls around her. Each depicted the same thing over and over scene after scene. Elvara cursed "Shit...trust my fucking luck" She said looking to the image of a dragon before her. Each one showed the dragon as red as the fire it breathed.
Walking deeper into the cave a light shone softly in the distance. Taking slow steps she made her way to the light before lightly peering around the wall of the cave. There is was! She thought looking at a mound of gold with a sword sticking out of the top of it, but with no dragon insight. Walking out she stuck to the walls as she made it closer to the mound. Climbing up the gold coins and all she made it to the top and looked at the silver cloth wrapped hilt of the blade. Reaching out she pulled it from the pile and held it infront of her. Running her finger up the side of the blade Elvara smirked as no slice of the skin greated her...but shivered as hot breath met the back of her neck. Turning around slowly her green eyes met the nose of a dragon. Scales blood red with tints of orange. The beast then raised its head, horns glinting in the glow of the fire light around the cave before it growled. Smoke rising from the corners of its raised lips shimmering past white teeth. Then the beast spread its wings out and pushed off with its front claws roaring a massive roar. It seemed as thought it was angry. Elvara smirked tying the sword to her hip and moving it around to the back she took a hold of her two blades and smiled "Bring it on big boy!' She said to the dragon before she cursed "OH SHIT!" She said jumping down the gold pile as coins splashed up and around her as a fire ball hit the place she once stood. |
He slowly managed to catch back up to her when she seemed to stop for a moment at the drawings. He hardly liked the looks of them. A red dragon? Why couldnt it be like a green or something.. reds were hardly something he had a advantage over if it came to it.
Sure he followed her to the dragons 'nest' so to speak, but he didn't go that far into the cave as he watched her. Hell he even saw the dragon as it walked up towards her, though for it's size it made little to no noise. Though he was hardly expecting her to taunt the thing as it growled and seemed ready to attack. "tsk damn it stop playing and just grab the damned blade and run! we don't have much of a chance against a fully grown red!" He yelled at her, he was torn between moving forward and leaving her to her own accord. She was the idiot that walked right into the middle of a dragon's nest.. His ears dropped as he watched the two circle the room, the dragon trying to scorch her as she kept avoiding each of the fire blasts. Why did he follow this idiot again? What was it he knew the weakness of a fully mature red dragon.. what spot.. each had a spot that needed to be struck |
Elvara jumped and dodged each attack with a smile "Awww I know you have more then that!" She said jumping into the air with a smile as she was missed yet again by the firey blast. That is when she landed on the head of the dragon with a sick smile before jamming a blade into each eye before jumping off watching as the dragon roared and clawed at its face. It was pissed.
That is when instead of a fire ball a string of pure fire blasted from the beasts mouth as it moved its head about wildly. She laughed before ducking under the flame and running under the belly of the beast her swords in the air cutting at the soft under belly. Elvara knew the only way to kill a pure red fully growen was to hit a single spot right right under the left front leg. Fully growen reds were knowen for the bad temper and fire. But when you did get close to one you would notice a patch of oddly placed scales by its left leg. By forcing your blade in at an angle the beast would fall dead. Elvara was just having fun! She jumped and slashed at the beast missing every attack it had. Elvara even woundered how this dragon lived for so long. Finally deciding to end its suffering she ducked and ran under it. With one swift movement and a blaze of fire her blade rested at an angle right under its left leg. She smiled as she pulled the blade out along with it a glowing red jewel. It was the heart of the dragon. Turning to Zek she smiled as the beast fell to its death right at her feet "You were saying?" She asked tilting her head. |
"tsk.. show off." he said leaning against his weapon by now. Why was something like this guarding a useless blade? His ears went back as she seemed to taunt him for what he had said "well how was i suppose to know we'd have the retard of the litter!" He shook his head a little, he had seen red dragons before.. they did not all fall that easily. He knew that. There was one he knew damn well she wouldn't be able to kill that easily.
He started to say something to her like she didn't have to kill it but he kept his mouth shut. That'd lead to a very long drawn out conversation of how he would know. Though this one seemed half mad anyway so probably that option was out of the question. "whatever grab your damn sword and lets go.. " After she took her prize and they walked back out of the cave he seemed to stay oddly silent. Sure she was a good fighter, but still what if she came up against something she couldn't defeat he felt like she would kill herself before asking for help. Though the thought he kept to himself as she seemed to walk ahead of him a little, there were a few things he didn't tell her about the kingdom here. One was it's relationship with dragons.. though only certain breeds. He still felt a little out of place just standing there instead of stopping her from killing the dragon for doing what came natural to it.It might sound a little soft but when it's what you were raised around it was hard to think that it was a creature you had to kill. |
Elvara walked and looked down at the heart of the dragon in her hand. It was a jewel that glowed like the treasure the beast itself gaurded. It sparkeled a deep crimson as she looked at it. The real prize though was the sword attached to her back. Pulling the blade off and around she looked at it...after all it was her prize and the first item she needed. Next they would head off to get the book of no pages. Though it was in the northern mountain town of Whitespeak. It would take a good two weeks travel to reach the mountains never mind locating the seeminly lost town.
"So..." Elvara began as she continued to walk "Whitespeak is next on the list' She said looking at her blade as she walked "You are free to fallow or free to leave" She said with a shrug. |
He started to speak when he seemed to stop with a bit of a sigh. "There is a few things I neglected to tell you about the kingdom here.. though i'm sure you've read about them.." He seemed a little annoyed really as a sudden heavy wing beat seemed to rip through the air. After a few moments the beast that owned this sound emerged from the clouds and rapidly descended towards the ground far enough away that it shouldn't disrupt the two walking.
The beast was easily two times the size of the red that Elvara had just fought as it raised it's head and snorted as a white smoke flowed from it's nose. Making a few slow yet well placed steps it moved towards the two. Though Zek saw right away that she was about ready to struck at this red dragon as well though he held his hand out before speaking. "the weak spot isn't the same, don't let the scales color fool you.." The dragon lowered it's head to look at the two before it before it seemed to speak without moving it's mouth. 'If I didn't find you with a female I'd half think something was wrong..' it seemed to hiss out before raising it's head and curling it's tail around to the front of it's body as it sat before the two. 'you know why I'm here, I wish the wizard would have just dealt with you but apparently thats expecting too much.' Zek shook his head a little before he spoke "nice seeing you again too.. damn winged lizard... " The dragon hardly seemed amused by this comment as he snorted again. 'insults will get you no where.. you should learn to respect your elders.' Sure Zek could have went on trying to insult the dragon but that would be useless to say the least. "Elvara meet Ruth, the Queens pet. Or also known as a royal dragon and one of the largest breeds of dragons... Also probably the answer to your question as to if I'm going with you or not" |
Elvara stood there and watched as the dragon landed she pulled out both her blades and looked between the male and the dragon before she huffed replacing the blades on her back before turning "I suppose so" She said crossing her arms "Take him home Ruth..." She said with a little tone of irritation at the sudden view of the dragon "I dont care..." She said before starting to walk off diapearing into the trees.
|
He glared a little at Elvara as she walked off. "tsk fuck it all, I swear drow females are all the fucking same one moment they are happy then the next they seem pissed. What the hell did I do this time" He complained a little before returning his attention to his issue at hand as his ears went back.
The dragon seemed amused as he started to speak saying she already said to take him home. "before you say a damn word like hell im going..." Ruth seemed to stay where he was hardly threatened by Zek's sudden change in tone. Ruth's tail flipped a little as he moved his head again. 'I'd refrain from doing what your thinking of doing.. we've been through this before.. your going to lose like always.' Zek smirked a little before pointing the weapon towards the dragon. "probably, but im tired of following orders.. entertaining nobles and doing all the other shit that im forced to do.. " He shrugged a little before pulling his weapon back as if he was preparing to strike out at the dragon. "besides what do I have to lose? If I die i'll recover in a few days at most, ah the curse of being immortal." He laughed a little, he didn't fear death really he'd love to get rid of that so said curse.. though the methods of doing so were hardly easy. Ruth snorted as the smoke seemed to be a black this time around before he drew his head back and released a sudden fire breath towards the ground that continued going in a steady stream. Though oddly Zek never moved from his spot as he held his free hand forward and his eyes changed to a blood red color from the blue they were before. "Don't tempt me dragon im in a mood where I will push all the way..." He spoke as the embers and fire seemed to avoid touching him altogether. Though he couldn't keep this little act up for long it drained quite a bit of energy to call upon any of his demonic power. Though if he bothered using them more often it wouldn't drain him as much. |
Elvara kept walking until she heard a noise that made her turn. The sudden light from the direction she had just came from made her take a step towards it. Fallowing she stood next to a tree some 20 feet away and watched as the flame disapeared into nothing infront of Zek. That was...pritty cool. She thought as she continued to watch catching and picking up on the conversation the two had.
|
The dragon seemed agitated sudden;y as it stopped the flame and slammed it's tail against the ground. 'learn your place half blood!' it seemed to hiss out at him before releasing it's next attack as a claw was raised and quickly slammed downwards where Zek was standing. Though this he seemed to avoid as his eyes were still a crimson red and he smirked a little. "are you getting slow in your old age too? tsk" He seemed to ignore the half blood comment, though if he focused too much on it he'd really lose control and have a risk of killing the poor beast for picking today to annoy him.
Ruth snorted again before releasing a ice bolt from it's mouth. 'fire might be your element but your useless against everything else' He continued to flip his tail as he moved from his sitting position finally and seemed more then ready to do any means necessary to remove Zek from the fight at hand. He saw the bolt sure though he seemed willing to test something as he pulled the weapon he still had with him back before swinging it at it's full force forward and into the attack causing it to shatter upon impact. "weakness.. yes though in my current mood I don't think I care dragon." He seemed to shrug like what he did was nothing as he pulled the weapon back to his side and watched the dragon's every move. Ruth growled suddenly before slamming his tail against the ground once more and pinning his wings back against his body and charging forward, the dragon wasn't worried about killing Zek he knew all too well that the boy would return sooner or later. Zek seemed to stand there a few moments before he finished releasing what ever energy he had been holding back this whole time as a set of horns seemed t appear from no where on his head and his eyes remained the red color almost glowing at this point. "I warned you! you damned lizard!" He growled at him before moving forward and reaching a hand out as it slammed against the dragons horn that it had forward. Both sides seemed to stop at the same time and a dead silence fell. After a moment the dragon pulled it's head back flailing it back and forth as the spot he had touched seemed to cause a reaction to the dragon. It flailed a while longer before it glared at the half blood before it. 'YOU! You'll regret that!' It hissed at him it's mouth open before it spread it's wings and took to the air in a single flap. He stood there unimpressed by the threat as he yelled after it. "well next time put up a damned fight!" He shook the hand that he had touched the dragon with before looking at it's palm. "damn that hurt more then i remembered" |
Elvara during the fight moved closer to watch better. But now that the dragon was gone she stepped out and looked at the male and his hand "Um...." She began not knowing what to say or even who to say it to "You okay?" She asked a little looking at the male. His eyes were still red but as soon as she spoke they bled back to the healthy blue she had grown used to.
|
He flinched a little as his ears dropped back hearing Elvara's voice. As soon as he bothered to look at her his eyes reverted back to the blue they were before. "yeah fine.. thought you had left.." he seemed annoyed she was there even. He only bothered to use that much of his power because he knew for sure she had left.
He closed his hand that he had been looking at into a fist instantly before he looked away from her. "don't you have some important quest you need to be off on, it's a hell of a walk to where you want to go from here.. thought your time was limited." He spoke in a flat tone before he moved and started walking in the other direction away from her. "good luck with that by the way." He spoke again as he lazily waved a hand back towards her, though he still sounded like he had almost no energy left just from that little bit.It was probably true enough.. where he never used the powers they had a huge drain on him. |
Elvara sighed "Males..." She said before waving a hand out infront of her speaking some forgotten language as the shadows from trees near by swirled and grew life. Soon they took chased and wrapped around Zek holding him tightly in an unbrakable prision of darkness "Dont even play dumb" She said "I know your close to passing out" She said "And im not about to have you do it out here." She said before her voice softened a little "Not when im just getting used to you' She said before tuning the shadows fallowing her as she sought a place to camp for the night all the while ignoring a cursing and threatening male behind her.
|
His ears dropped as he growled at her knowing she was the cause of the binds. "tsk what do you care! Leave me be, I can damn well fend for myself by now." He kept cursing at her the whole trip, for someone who had a lack of energy it wasn't showing in his mouth that was certain.
When she finally stopped and released him he was still curing her though the langue had switched to be a mix of demonic and elven by this time and his ears were still back showing his annoyance. "Why the hell did you bother me!? I would have been perfectly fine, there was a town not even a half a days walk from there." He sighed heavily. "i swear i think your trying to kill me.." Though he seemed to stop cursing for the moment at the least as he leaned against a tree for support. What had she meant before when she said not when she was just getting use to him? It wasn't like that mattered or not she was sending him off with the damn dragon only moments before. |
She huffed "Just shut up and sit down" She said before making a fire infront of them. She then began to take out and mix up a bumch of different herbs before placing them in a little cantean of water and sticking thw whole thing within the burning flames.
After awhile she carefully removed it and poured the hot contents within a cup and placed in front of the male before her "Drink it' She siad "Its a demonic remidy" She said before standing "Your energy will be back in less then half the time" She stated with a shrug. |
He complained under his breath but still did as he was told to.. for the moment. Though he hardly had the will to fight against what she was ordering anyway. Why was she trying to help now anyway.. what the hell was she up to. Drow females never helped anyone unless there was a personal gain.. what was her angle.
He'd have to worry about figuring that out later as he was told to drink some liquid she had just made. His ears went back looking at her and to the cup. "your really no fun you know that..." He hissed at her before debating a moment on the cup or not. He had no real choice being no where near a town his normal method was out of the question.. forcing her into it was possible but dangerous and with his energy he'd likely pass out before it got that far. Plus he wasn't into forcing them either. He finally gave in as she glared at him once more as a warning to drink it already. Once the mix was finished he shivered slightly. "oh god.. that teases worse then the old mans experiments.. " Sure he recalled her conversation about what she had studied but the odds this would work weren't that high.. besides that if he had to keep drinking this damn things while he traveled with her .. he might reconsider his plans then. |
"Oh princess" She said before grabbing the cup "It was only a replenishing potion" She said slightly "Now try drinking something that heals bones" Elvara said with a shiver "Now that is nasty" She said with a nod of her head. After that she sat down infront of the male. Digging through her sack she took out some bread and sighed as she picked at it.
"Well then....I am thinking of hitching a ride up north with some friends around here" She said looking up to Zek "I am sure you heard of the eastern wolf clan yes?" Elvara said with a tilt of her head and a smile as she saw the look he gave her. The eastern wolf clan was a large pack of demonic wolves. They didnt trust much and usually attacked anything that set foot in there territory. The leader of the back was a female by the name of Maya. She was ruthless and skilled. "That...is where I am going next" She said with a nod of her head. "You are welcome to come or leave" She said with a shrug of her shoulders "Though it would be 3 days instead of a weeks travel" Elvara said with a nod of her head. |
He shuddered a little "... heh.. been there done that.. your right. Please don't remind me..." Even being part demon not everything healed right away when it came to wounds, plus when he was younger he had his fair share of trouble.
He did give her a odd look at the idea of working with the wolf clan, how did she even have ties to them from her island? "I've heard of them.. Vaden use to go out that way. Personally I never bothered to go that far" Then again normally they didn't give up on trying to force him back.. though he was sure one of the next steps was the wizard or else the Queen herself. Both he knew damn well that he wasn't going to be able to do shit about stopping them. He shrugged a little "You forced me all the way out here as it is, why bother walking back to town from here. You lost your chance of getting rid of me when you used your little shadow magic." Aside from that he had nothing better to do anyway. To admit it he was a bit curious how this little trip was going to turn out and he wanted to see it all the way through just to avoid going back to whatever duties they wanted him to do this year. Though he figured his luck would run out long before the trip was over. Plus he was still trying to figure out this female.. she was like most drows he had crossed paths with yet not at the same time. He couldn't put his finger on why she intrigued him a bit. "So what are you going to do if your 'friends' don't help, aside from walk for a few weeks of course." He shrugged again with a slight laugh, thats if they weren't both ripped apart first. |
Elvara looked to him and she smiled, and grew as his words kept going until she laughed "Ha! Them kill me?" She asked "Oh thats funny!" Elvara said slapping her knee "You see it helps to know me in some cases up north" She said "My father and I we used to travel when I was younger. Our main place was the north east. On the Island we dont get snow..." She said. "So we used to trip up there just so I could have a weeks play in the white fluff!"
Elvara for some reason loved snow. She guessed because of the fact that she has hardly seen the stuff. "Upon one of our trips we ran into a deamon" She said "This thing was attacking a young pup when we found it" She said "We killed the deamon then later found it there was more victoms" She said kinda sadly. Elvara looked to zek and continued "There was four in total some three lay hurt some two yards away. We healed them saved them and sent them on there way" She said with a smile "Later we find out that the pup we saved grew into the queen of the tribe" Elvara said with a smile "I hardly doubt they will hurt us" She said with a nod. |
He listened to her talking about traveling with her father, it made him realize a few things that were vastly different between her world and his. Even if her father was strict with her he still tried to make her happy. Where in his life he was forced to train pretty much every waking hour, the thought of doing something other then was not to happen. Though he didn't see snow being worth traveling that far for... though they did get snow in the other areas during certain times of the year.
Though he seemed to stay rather silent when she mentioned a demon, she even called it a thing. Though he didn't voice his thoughts on what she said it still stung a little. Though he was rather use to the different 'titles' over the years, even if he normally kept to himself and avoided doing anything to give anyone a reason to label him. Sure he knew she wasn't talking about him but still it was in his blood. After she seemed finished he finally bothered speaking "I see.. though from the sounds of it I may part ways with you before we get that far." He shrugged a little. He had his reasons for saying this, one he had demon blood and the fact that the wolf clan could probably smell that blood without trouble.. he didn't want to really test a fight with them. |
Elvara looked to him with almost sad looking eyes before she sighed a little "Just because its part of your blood dosent mean anything" She said to him before looking to him. It was true though. Elvara knew that if she said he was okay then nothing would happen to him. She didnt know if the male before her was just scared or if it was something else.
Either way Elvara shrugged "But its up to you the option is there" She said before moving laying down with her head on her sack one arm curled above her head the other laid across her chest with one knee bent foot placed firmly on the ground. She laid in a way that if anything happened a weapon was a short distance all around her. |
