[b]Interaction with:[/b] Terneus Andros[sub][@Dezuel][/sub]
[hr]
[b]“There’s no need to forgive me. I’m well aware of who you are.”[/b] Xenelith set, throwing Terneus a sly smile. [b]“Son of Ahlduss and Ilani. Brother to Isarin and Excelas. Names on graves now, all of them. That’s all that remains of your prestigious family. Which means you’re the last of your bloodline and, a hundred years ago, the heir of it.”[/b] Xenelith was smiling on the inside though. He got the governor by surprise. Terneus didn't even know his name. He had to ask his own commander what it was. Yet he knew everything there was to know about the Light Elf governor.

Xenelith moved away from Terneus now and walked passed the Androsian knights, inspecting them one by one. [b]“You’re quite right though. It is a terrible shame that once again people rise up in rebellion. Though you are mistaken. This mess is not of my making. I’m merely sent here to clean it up. You must’ve missed me in the River Fairy Kingdom too, Terneus. I killed a traitor in the middle of their political center and captured nearly a dozen more. It would also seem you’re lacking knowledge of the enemy. But I recognize a loyal servant when I see one, so let me share it with you. The woman you’re searching for is Risa Millina. She’s from the royal bloodline of the River Fairies. Not the first of that family to rise up against law and land. She’s accompanied by another fairy and a fox demi-human.”[/b]

Certain Dark Elves would’ve thought he was giving a suspect of treason too much information. Xenelith had settled his mind years ago on whether or not the governor was a traitor. What Light Elf would bend the knee but not turn into the perfect servant for the Lich-King: a Dark Elf? The suspicion was only reinforced by the fact that Terneus decided to leave the Light Elf village a week ago to head for the River Fairy Kingdom, only to travel down to Roshimi next. Following the trail of Risa. In true Dark Elf fashion, Xenelith had already crafted the most disgusting plan Terneus no doubt had. No doubt the man would want to marry Risa in some sickening bid to combine the Light Elves and the fairies against Aklenroth. Only something truly deranged like an old Light Elf could come up with such a plan. Luckily he had prepared for that and right now, he wasn’t oversharing what he knew. He was dangling a carrot.

[b]“You insult me, Terneus.”[/b] Xenelith said. [b]“Quite frankly I couldn’t care less if we smell like orcs to you. I've known orcs that could rip an elf in two. They are strong warriors.”[/b] He turned to face Terneus again while standing in front of the last Androsian knight. [b]“You insult me and our great king with the state of your men. Look at them.”[/b] He outstretched a hand, motioning the perfectly clean-shaven, tended, washed Light Elf knight, wearing highly polished, silvered plate armor and not even a spat of mud on their boots. [b]“No wear, no tested metal. Your men lack scars and avoid mud. I bet you make them duel against each other alone. In a true war they might be of value, but not here. Not for this. Rebels will hear them coming from a mile away. No this will not do at all.”[/b] He took a step back to observe the force as a whole and shook his head. [b]“Terneus, I insist that we join forces. At least for a few days. Perhaps your men could learn a thing or two from us. Like how to win an war and instead of a beauty contest.”[/b]
