Thortan charged into the fray, roughly a hundred humans had charged on to the open field. He saw the rage and hatred burning deeply in their eyes, he sighed inwardly. They hated his people because they had something different than humans. He met the first with gritted determination, normally he hated taking lives, but he couldn't let one leave this groove else he would bring more with him. His blades a blur of fury, his speed unmatched to any other, he was a wild hummingbird amongst stiff flowers. No stroke was wasted, every time he struck someone stopped breathing. A row of archers had taken refuge in the edge of the forest, drawing and aiming at Lia, as they released their arrows Thortan summoned a gust of wind and deflect the arrows toward a small group of humans. Blood and screams filled the air as the men fell, before the arrows could notch an other volley Thortan made the Earth below them to throw them into the field. One of his swords morphed into a ball of darkness that Thortan tossed at the recovering bowmen. They died in a blaze of shadow fire, Thortan cut down more humans, stabbing the last in the foot. The man fell screaming, Thortan griped him up and pulled him close.

"Where did you get on E of my letters?!" He screamed, the man whined clutching his foot. In anger the angry dark elf threw the man halfway across the field. "You will talk, else I promise you a fate worse than death!! I will leave you alive!! I will take your finger, eyes, nose, tongue. I will scar you to such a state that you will forever live in agonizing pain!! I will leave your ears, so that whilst you beg for loose change on the street you will be able to hear the screams and crying of those that pass you!! And to top it all off I will spell you so that you age slowly and won't be able to kill yourself so you will suffer for a good long while!! Where did you get the letter?!"

"A water elf!!" The man cried out. "We found her at an In on her way here. We took the letter and my commander sent us to kill your and all fugitives you harbored."

"These are innocent people!! You humans are just jealous because you control no magic!! Are there more with you??"

"No the commander took men to the king, to give him an update. More will be coming, more than even the master of darkness and his prized pupil could stop." The man laughed at Thortan, tired of it he drew on Earth fire and water, masterfully combined them into a concoction that he force down the man's throat.

"That you filthy human is my own special poison, it will freeze your muscles, and will make your insides fell like they are on fire and freezing at the same time. You will die a slow agonizing death lasting several days." Thortan stood up leaving the man on the ground, he surveyed the destruction to the field sighing at the bodies.

"Lia, be a darling, when Liz has had her fill with her chew toys over there, can you incinerate the bodies?? Leave this one alive though, he annoyed me." He than turned to Liz pitched in her own battle with humans. He knew she would be upset if he intervened. "Liz be a doll and put up more protection?? Seems I didn't place enough, and again, this does not mean I attract trouble!!" He turned to the elven soldier who had kill a few humans himself and suffered a relatively minor wound.

Thortan healed the injury quickly for the man.

"When you tell the ladies about this latter, add twenty more men, and how I was unconscious. They will eat it up." He said with a wink. "But don't tell the queen, she worries enough as is." He walked into the house and made his way to his room, he had things to do now.
