Eliphas while he waited for Barghest to pop up decided he was going to move the game up a bit. Nova would likely be headed to the elven city and they could send a army to the elven city only to have it whipped out. The elves were harder to fight then other opponents. Humans were weak and easy to cower so they were easy prey. He had to come up with something and decided first things off to have a spy go and check out things. At first it was hard to think of what he should send but then it hit him. He was very powerful in many ways. What he would do is a bit of illusion magic. He would project himself close by to the city, the dangerous part is his illusions were not like most. They could feel real and do damage still almost like the real thing. So he moved over and sat in his chair and then closed his eyes. Alceone watched him with a smirk as she watched a shadow like essence moved from his body to form something that showed his figure perfectly. The illusion then began its steps out from the balcony and simply vanished into the air and suddenly reappeared 100 yards from the city. Oblivious at first to Valken and then suddenly he saw him. The weak pathetic bat like thing, it was a shadow of it's true glory. Weak to the bone and the only thing it had that proved a threat was the talons. Then it hit him, the imp told him of a creature that walked away and he smirked under the visage of his dark helmet. His blood red cape flowing through the wind as flames burned from the sockets of his helmet. "How can a mere demon gather himself with weak mortals and peace loving fools like the elves?... or perhaps you are here thinking that exact thing. Why should a demon such as your self be concerned with the survival of humans and weak pathetic creatures. That drow elf that my little spy told me about, he found you sniffing her sent and intoxicated with it." He smiled devilishly at him and laughed. Suddenly one of the trees came life nearby from the noise. The tree was a ent and it took its steps closer and closer to find out what was going on. When it eyed the little meeting of Valken and Eliphas it saw two evil beings, well two beings it thought was evil. The one in the heavy metallic armor with flames spewing from its cracks and a red cape, it was most certainly evil. It's job was to defend this area from evil and so it came in rushing at Eliphas. Eliphas looked over and moved its dark gauntlet hand towards it and suddenly the large ent stopped in its tracks held in a telekinetic grab. He then looked back at Valken and from the palm of the same hand aimed at the ent fired a massive ball of flame which exploded igniting the creature. "How good do you think she would smell if I burned her alive?... Oh no that would not do at all would it?... you vampire like demons are most laughable. You can be so strong but still need the passion of feeding and drinking on the bodies of the living. How could you stomach the filth that radiates inside them?" He said all this while the ent was being burned alive screaming. Finally Eliphas just squeezed his hand and a force crushed the ent inwards and Eliphas tossed the thing aside letting the forest begin to burn. "Bathe your eyes in perfection flying rodent, for it is this that will test the survival of everything that doesn't accept my will. Something as weak as you has not that place. All things flesh will be feed to my armies." He said and he looked in the direct of where the elven city would be. "I am curious as to long it would take for these elves to destroy this form. Even this illusion is only a fraction of what I truly am." He took one final glance at Valken and smiled. "Before I go tell me the name of your mother? I would very much like to rip out her spine." He said and then moved in the direction of the elven city. He knew his illusion wouldn't last and would likely fall easy prey to the elven blades and arrows. He just wanted to stir up some chaos. Especially the pink haired elf's. He kept vanishing into the wind and reappearing ever closer....... ---------------- As the gates began to open she saw Kyoto go over to converse with one of the Ents and it made her chuckle a little. He eased off of Nova pretty quick. She then moved off to join Nova and walked with her inside the grande city. She saw that things hit well with Kyalia and folks and she sweared she could feel the dagger sensation of eyes poking her from the elves.' A drow elf being granted free passage? What is the Queen thinking?' She wondered if that's what went through their minds. She then looked to Nova. "Hey your a local show me around some." She said. ------------- Ishmael sat in the quarters that were set up for him. It was different from the refugee place but was still amazing. The room was said to be provided to him and those he was with. Meaning Kyalia and all of the others to. The elves wanted them kept together so it would be easier to keep an eye on them. That or so they would have to send one messenger when the Queen called for them. What the Queen told him though about Eliphas was really.... Tough to take in. Nova,... Was the one who originally banished him. Was that why Lithium was chosen first to be raised to the ground? --------------- Aries moved to the likes of Alduin and the Glabrezu. "The pink haired elf isn't among the dead or survivors,.... She escaped us. Alduin go and scout out the area. Be careful if your search brings you near the elven city. We do not want to touch that, not yet" she said. Alduin was huge so he could cover more ground then others could.
