[i]Time : Past Midnight
Location : Near River Kingdom [/i]

Elthrael stood silent for a moment on his branch as he surveyed the gathering ahead. His eyes instictively searched for any visible weapons before he took a leap towards another branch to place himself slightly downwind of the gathering. Once in place, the darkwinged fairy inspected the gathering further. Two of them were young female fairies. One bore more traditional attire of an elaborate design the other one clad in more revealing attire. The dark winged fairy began to smile, as he sniffed the air.

He could now properly scent them, their smell were more pleasant for his senses than the creature whose company they seemed to share. There was also a more familiar scent of canines. [color=aba000][i]A wolf? A fox?[/i][/color] Elthrael did not linger on that thought or scent, as they were in a place where such animals were quite common. Finally he set his sights on the armored being on the ground. [color=aba000][i]What is that?[/i][/color]

[i][color=aba000]Hm?[/color][/i] He turned his attention away from the human and to the foilage. Into the scene came a panther and a rider upon it, a dark elf by the looks of it. It's roar drawing the attention of those present. Elthrael had some encounters with their ilk in the past, yet this one carried himself in a more confident manner. The dark elf began to loudly call out to the fairies and the prone creature, as he did the scent and noises of the uncommon beasts became more potent. They had surrounded the trio.

Elthrael placed his right hand at the pommel of his sword, as it rested in it's sheath. The dark elf and his beasts had come to claim the creature the fairies shared company with. A human.

[i][color=aba000]A human? This.. thing is a human? This dark elf has been sent by the undead king to kill it... this soon? Now why's that I wonder?[/color][/i] He began to grin as he made up his mind.

Elthrael had never seen a human before, it seemed to be like a more robust elf and with a strong unusual scent, which had now strangely been replaced with the scent of jasmine. Those two things aside, he couldn't make out what made it so special that it warranted the undead king's attention. He would have prefered to watch a fight between the two, but with the presence of the young fairies that was not going to happen. The dark winged fairy knew he had to get in there, this was the opportunity of a lifetime. Two young female fairies and a human as a bonus, now that was a good catch. He wasn't going to allow some dirty dark elf to steal his prize.

He drew his blade quietly whilst the dark elf attacked the human, gripping the sword into his right hand, Elthrael then reached out with his left hand towards the bark of the tree, which branch he stood upon. That's when a fox came rushing into the scene, taking hold of the human and getting him out of harms way. [color=aba000][i]Oh? A companion to these girls? How very timely indeed.[/i][/color]

One of the fairies, the one with the more revealing clothes then tried to reason with the dark elf.

[i][color=aba000]Such fierce defiance. Such bold courage. Such relentless beauty.[/color][/i] Elthrael thought to himself and then pressed his hand harder against the bark of the tree. He was just about to begin channeling his magic, when he saw something so bizarre and so strange that he froze. [i][color=aba000]The human can call upon the very earth itself to form weaponry?! What manner of power is this?! I must obtain it... [/color][/i] The human kept talking and yelling, as it revealed more of it's powers. It was a noisy human, loud and aggressive. Elthrael looked on with much interest, but then finally collected himself and focused deeply on the task at hand.

[i][color=aba000]Spirits of the forest, I'll offer you this dark elf fool and his beasts as a sacrifice... You may do with them as you please![/color][/i] The fairy thought as he channeled his magic through his left hand still placed upon the tree.

The branches, excluding the one which he stood upon, of nearby trees began to twist and turn as if animated into arms and hands. Hollow spaces in the trees would glow slightly, giving many of the trees the visuals of them having distorted faces, with glowing eyes and grinning mouths. The roots of the trees popping out of the ground and the hanging vines would slither forth to attack the dark elf and his beastly allies. The vines would lash and twirl, like spasmic whips, with intent to lash and entangle their targets. The branches would slam into the ground, like rakes they would slash and pull through the nearby foilage, albeit out of the dark elf's reach. The mighty roots would rise up fully and then either be fully held up or slam down, aiming towards the dark elf. Carefully avoiding to slam the spot where the two fairies stood.
