Adelbert Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 The arrow flew through the air, cutting through the bubble of light and continuing on the other side without having any effect. The elf moved a few feet forward, listening carefully. Suddenly, he heard something else than the screams, something that only keen elf ears could hear. There was a voice in the light, whispering for something. Erunanion took the risk and moved a little closer. "Come on, it's going to throw you away if you get any closer", Davanír shouted. As he got closer, Erunanion could hear the voice whispering for help, the strange thing was that it was speaking elfish. "There's something speaking inside!", the elf shouted back. "Well what's it saying?", Traxis asked. "It's.. calling for help", Erunanion answered. Suddenly, the bubble disappeared and the light was gone. Everything was as silent as before, except the wind which was blowing twice as hard by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Traxis rubbed the dirt off his clothes where the rough landing had marked them. "So," he asked the elf. "What did it say?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 "It was asking for help. I assume it could see us, but i don't know why it was speaking my my tongue and not yours. I couldn't tell if the voice was male or female though." He looked around the woods, as if he didn't trust the surroundings. "So now what do we do?"

Adelbert Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 "Ain't that obvious? We keep going, this light seems to be a coward and I will have nothing to do with coward lights", said Davanír and looked around, somewhat worried. Just then, another light appeared about 50 feet away, again with the sound of screams. "Great, another one", Davanír sighed. The three of them hurried towards the light, the dwarf a little slower than the others. "Do you hear anything?", Traxis asked Erunanion. "No.. wait", he muttered and got a little closer. "Bah, this one's just angry", Davanír said when he reached them. "Wait.. did you hear that?", Erunanion asked. "What did it say?", they both said. "It's.. it's calling for help again", he answered. All of a sudden, the light started moving away through the forrest, with the three friends close behind. Traxis and Erunanion, both being well aware of their surroundings, stopped before running off the cliff, but Davanír, who wasn't nearly as attentive as his friends, ran to far and stumbled down the cliff, rolling a few feet before landing in a small stream below. Although the water barely reached his waist when he stood up, Davanír had great problems getting to the shore on the other side, falling over many times. The other two had no problems at all getting across and when they had gathered on the shore, Erunanion looked around to spot the light. "There we go", he said and pointed into the forrest from which a bright light appeared. They hurried towards the light and reached a huge glade, surrounded by tall trees on every side. "Take it easy this time, would you?" Traxis asked Davanír, who didn't pay him any attention but ran straight straight towards the light. The dwarf ended up setting of a trap which had him hanging upside down from a tree with a rope around his ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Traxis thought this very funny and fell about laughing. "If you won't listen to good advice, maybe we'd be better off leaving you to do this yourself. I'm happy to find a comfortable inn and wait until you come back with sensible information." He makes no attempt to cut the dwarf free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Erunanion walked past the dangling Davinir, and absent-mindedly drew his dagger and slashed the rope holding the struggling dwarf. Looking around the open glade carefully, but without every taking his eyes of the globe of light, he approached it slowly. Listening hard, he gets closer than he did before, as if tempting the bubble to throw himself back like his two companions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelbert Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Davanír fell to the ground, struggling to get up. "You find this funny, don't you?", he asked Traxis and looked for his axe which he had lost again. The white wolf followed Erunanion towards the light without caring about the complaining dwarf. Suddenly, the light disappeared again. "Great, now I'll never find my axe..", Davanír muttered and sat down on the ground. On the other side of the glade, another light appeared, not even half as bright as the first two. "Hah, I found it!", he shouted just before being hit in the head by a wooden staff, knocking him over. A group of people had ran past the group from the woods, beating Davanír down before they continued across the glade. Very confused by the blow to the head, the dwarf ran around in circles, cutting thin air with his axe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Traxis grabbed the dwarf and splashed water on his face. "Listen, if we are going to be of any help to anyone we need to act in a planned and rational way. Let us stop rushing about and decide where we are going. I'm happy to follow you but not if you're going to chop me in pieces because you can't see what you're doing." Traxis mopped the water off the dwarf's face. "Erunanion, did you get any idea of what was causing those lights? Is it some sort of sentient creature like a wisp or is it an enchantment?" He let the dwarf go. "What about you Davanír? Have you come across them before?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelbert Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 "Bah, does it look like I'm used to huge lights running around in the forrest?", Davanír said. "Unless it's someone very fast with a big lantern, I say that's magic causing the lights, but what I care about is who hit me in the head", he continued. and scratched his head. By now, the three friends could hear low voices speaking to eachother. Although the wind was blowing through the forrest and all the trees were shaking, the glade was totally quiet and no wind was to be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Traxis put a finger to his lips and moved quietly towards the sound of the voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
