"My dear, did you forget who you are talking to?? Of course I set more than the Wisps as defense. They are just the visible ones. Trust me, no one is finding this place without one of mine or the Queen's letters. And trouble is not something that is inherently attracted to one person versus an other. It's just a mechanism that is run by it's own laws of statistical probability, which doesn't mean that it fancies a certain person more than others. We are high command, without us the queen would suffer a huge morale loss, so of course we are sought after targets for our enemy. That lends the illusion that trouble hunts for me." As he finished his speech a piece of parchment floated down to his feet. Curious he reached down and read it.

"This is one of my summons, that would mean a new guest has arrived!!" He turned and started walking to the front of the house when an arrow stuck itself in the wall before his face. Thortan took a surprised step back and regained his composure. He turned to look at Liz a stern look set in his eyes.

"You know this doesn't make you or the queen right." Human men charged out of the woods to his side. Two short swords made of shadow appeared in the dark elf's hands as he ran off to meet the enemy.
