Adelbert Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 A few seconds after Traxis started sneaking, the voices moved further away from the group, towards the middle of the glade. The white wolf had run away when the voices started talking and was nowhere to be seen. Traxis sneaked closer to the center of the glade, still hearing the voices. Soon, he spotted a group of people sitting by a campfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Traxis beckons his companions nearer, hoping they have the sense to move quietly. Were these the ones who attacked Davanír or are they some other group in the forest? He quickly calculates how many are seated round the fire.

Adelbert Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Davanír and Erunanion sneaked closer, well, Erunanion sneaked and Davanír walked quietly. After a quick look, Traxis counted 5 people sitting by the fire. They all wore cloaks with hoods over their heads, so no faces could be seen. They all sat on the ground, speaking quickly with low voices. "I'm telling you, we've got to get him back before it's to late", one said. "They've got to be after us", another whispered. "Let them come, we can handle them", a third one said. Then, without any warning at all, a bright light, just like the ones before, flashed behind the three friends observing the group. With incredible speed, all 5 men pulled out their bows and pulled back an arrow, aiming straight at the three friends. "Who go..", one of the men started in elfish. "Who goes there?", he said in the common language. The whole glade was quiet except for the shouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Erunanion pulls back behind and nearby tree, hopefully quick enough not to fetch an arrow in the back. Whilst nocking an arrow himself, he looks around to see where his friends are. He then sneaks his head round the tree, and shouts in Elvish "We are travellers! Who are you to attack us?"

Adelbert Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 The men by the fire seemed very confused for a few moments, speaking quietly to eachother. "Travellers? If you wish us no harm, show yourselves", one shouted. Davanír started pulling out the axe from his belt. "I'm not stepping into the light so you've got more to aim at", he shouted. "Oh, don't worry dwarf, I know where you are already" was the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Traxis takes the risk and steps into the light. "Well, I'm not attacking!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelbert Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Davanír followed Traxis into the light of the fire. "A human and a dwarf travelling together? Why would a human make friends with other races, you know we're all extinct", one of the men said. "That doesn't matter", another one interrupted him, "Which one of you spoke elfish?", he asked.

loveme4whoiam Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Erunanion stepped out from behind his tree, the arrow still on the cord of his bow but not held under pressure. "I did. How is it that you understand my language?" He looked sidelong at Davinir. "You don't look extinct to me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelbert Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 The men by the fire started speaking to eachother with low voices. Finally, one of them loosened his grip of the arrow and lowered hiw bow. He looked at them, then removed the hood of his cape, revealing a proud elven face and long blonde hair. "Don't tell me we're not extinct, tell everyone else", he said in elfish. His companions did the same, revealing 4 more faces, all elfish by appearance and all with long blonde hair. "Now, reveal yourselves as we have done, we wish you no farm", the elf said and hung his bow over his shoulder. Davanír, still with axe in hand, removed his own hood and helmet. "Davanír", he said. "What business brings 5 elves to an open glade in the middle of human land?", he asked and watched the elves. "Does this look like human land to you?", one replied and gestured with his hand around the glade, where there was no wind when the forrest was shaking from the storm. "Now, who are your companions?"

loveme4whoiam Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 "I am Erunanion. It has been a long time since i have seen my kin. What brings you to this place?" He is somewhat surprised to see his folk, and disconcreted, although not visibly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
