[color=aba000][b][h3]Elthrael Vol'Kerno[/h3][/b][/color] [i][color=fff79a]Time: Morning Location: The haven [/color][/i] The female fairy had kissed him back, to his surprise yet again. This woman was proving to be not the usual fairy, this was certainly one with a more freedom oriented mindset. Now that was certainly something Elthrael could respect. [i][color=aba000]'My my, bold beyond compare...'[/color][/i] He thought, as Risa made her way away from him to calm down her companions which according to Elthrael seemed to be hot tempered indeed, being very quick to bite. [b][color=aba000]"Temper temper, you are frightening the young lady. You desire to kill me, beastfolk? How typical judging a tree by it's bark, as I was telling dear Elsea before, the world has so much evil in it..."[/color][/b] Elthrael said in reply to Kyran, the darkwinged fairy believed indeed he had him where he wanted him. People who so openly displayed their emotions, were so much easier to manipulate according to himself. He could very much chose when and how the attack would come, and if you can tell that much then you are certainly well prepared and equipped to deal with it in the most swift way possible. [b][color=aba000]"Well little fox, your confidence may serve you well, best however to keep that leach around your neck lest someone snaps it."[/color][/b] Elthrael said, not in a threatening manner but as a promise, would the younger man try something. While Elthrael did not desire a fight against him nor the male human, it was important for him to establish a pecking order as it was usually done in the wilderness or among canines. The pack always needed an alpha. [b][color=aba000]"The young lady is correct, there is no need to be so... hostile."[/color][/b] Elthrael spread his arms offering a slight smile towards Kyran and Jean Luc, his golden eyes scanning them closely. Elsea had also gotten into an argument with the other group members, this the golden eyed fairy approved of. It proved that she indeed were a fierce and determined individual, while still not being completely beyond control. To Elthrael, the fox person. Kyran. Seemed to be more of a dead weight than useful, but even that was better than how the male human was presenting himself and his plan. [i][color=aba000]'To dig underground? What are we? Rodents? That will not do...'[/color][/i] The darkwinged fairy shook his head softly in disagreement to Jean Luc, to him being underground was the worst possible thing to be. Where he could not fly, he could not properly dodge nor make use of that which made him a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention the risk of the earth above falling in on them. [b][color=aba000]"Cowards? You just don't know when to pick battles. We don't even know if they will come, nor how many. Withdraw abit, see if the supposed predators gives chase, if they do you show them the natural order at your advantage. The forest is vast, we may travel through it, the Amoras cannot see too well from the sky if we keep ourselves under the trees. We may easily carry Elsea mid-flight under the trees, and this... beast can surely carry you, human."[/color][/b] Elthrael added, looking the gathering over. [b][color=aba000]"If you intend to dig yourself to safety, it is more likely that you dig your own grave, and any other who would follow. No if they have indeed made notice of us and give chase, the swift beasts will come first. Meaning we can dispatch of them before the rest catch up, providing they can find their way past the entangling forest plants and our scents being... much harder to follow... ofcourse."[/color][/b] The fairy continued, and then chuckled softly to Jean Luc holding unto a spear. The words the human have uttered to him had caused much amusement to him. [b][color=aba000]"I cannot stand beside a thing which will fail. You deem me a coward, yet you seem to forget I aided you against the dark elf. Not quite the action of a coward is it? Oh and my weapon is good and all, but I have other weapons far more sharp than this blade. I would suggest you to make use of yours too, unless it be more.. dull."[/color][/b] The fairy began to point to his own head, offering a slight smirk and then finally added. [b][color=aba000]"I know only that you humans are not accustomed to our world. Thus it would suit you better to fall in line, than falling in time."[/color][/b] He blew some air through his mouth, his wings extending slightly. [color=aba000][b]"Come Elsea, we are getting out of here. The River Kingdom is beyond our reach for the moment, to Roshmi we've ought to fly. If you seek to live, the rest of you ought to follow and soon. Care to join us Risa? It seems you are causing a distraction for Kyran, we need him to focus on taking our well armored human male here away. Roshmi offers the best shelter, as it is a big place to search for our foe. But also a place where we may find those willing to support our cause..."[/b][/color] There was no certainty that the rest would heed his suggestion, but if that was the case he would have to do with what he had, and that would be taking Elsea out of there. If he could not control Jean Luc or Kyran, then they would be more hinderances than useful weapons to use. After all, what is power íf you cannot control it? The fairy knew this fully well, from those tempted for power at any cost, selling their body and soul to the tyrant king. That was how much people craved power. As long as at least one of the humans would survive, then there would be a good chance to dethrone the king. Not only could Elsea be the one to deliver the final blow, she could also be the icon. The symbol of a rebellion. The symbol of freedom. In Roshmi they would be sought for, but they could find allies and amidst those allies seize control of the city and spark a more wide rebellion. But if the generals of the dark lord would come and try destroy it, then it would be more wise to leave. They cannot successfully suppress a city and chase the humans at the same time. They could take an Amoras from Roshmi while causing a distraction, fly over the sea towards the Flower Fairy Kingdom. They could amass more allies there. Then ofcourse there was also the possiblity of coming across an orc sympathetic to the cause, perhaps someone who could urge the orcs to attack Aklenroth. Perhaps spread some false words of him being weak at the moment? Elthtrael set his eyes on Jean Luc. [b][color=aba000]"In the old tales, there is a human line I remember, told through generations amongst my kin. Sumus contra mundi. I think that line summerizes well what lies before us."[/color][/b]
