River clutched the bloodied fabric that was handed to him, waiting for the commander to finish speaking. Finally she said [b]"and any other questions, I know I presented you with a lot of information over these past few hours,”[/b] River began to walk around the room I search of something. [Color=aqua]"Yes, only one for now. Where in blasted do you keep your bowls!"[/color] he began to move around the room, standing on chairs and stools, searching cupboards until he found something that had some form of indent and decide it was as good as any. [Color=aqua]"This will have to do. Something large enough for all of us to see. Please, remove the items from the table as I bring this all over."[/color] he placed the large looking dish onto the chair he stood on and dragged it over to the table. Climbing the chair and then placing the item on the center of the table and filling it with water, creating a shallow, still, pool of water. He took the fabric and used his magic to weave the blood out of it and drop it into the pool, the red rippled through the water and a scene began to form. Qe look through the eyes of one of the soldiers. A mass of elves could be seen, but none were moving. Each one seemed to be stilled, eyes dancing around back and forth, filled with fear and dread. You could hear some commotion happening nearby, yet try as our eyescould, they were incapable of looking towards the beast causing the damage. All at once, a symphony of sound began to erupt as you hear threats being slashed, the gurgling of blood, and then silence, one by one. A sense of fear and aguinsh begins to fill the scene as you see a porcelain mask atop an impossible body walk before our elves eyes. His throat is slit and you hear the gurgling of blood once more as our sight begins to dim, all that remains is the flicker that is the monsters eyes, like candlelight set in front of a dark abyss, before our soldier falls and all visual is lost. [Color=aqua]"That's our enemy it seems. Whatever that beast is...we are far from the great libraries of my kingdom, tell me, what would you say is the greatest collection of knowledge above land? I can only wish it contains the answers we seek."[/color]
