[color=aba000][b][h3]Elthrael Vol'Kerno[/h3][/b][/color] He had successfully managed to grab hold of Risa and lift her up into the air and Kyran would surely be unable now to catch them. The reaction he wanted from Kyran was partly obtained in that his rage got the better of him, to the point of him changing his very shape. Elthrael had previously assumed the big fox which had fought against the dark elven warrior time past, had been Kyran. Yet this transformation was nothing like that. It were as if the young man had thrown away all sense of reason and turning into some more primal beast on two legs. [i][color=aba000]'Oh? You've lost! You vicious vulpine! More than the lady, you even lost yourself! How truly ironic!'[/color][/i] He thought with glee as he watched over his own shoulder, carrying Risa who was beating on his arms in an attempt to let her go. He couldn't let her go now. The moth fairy had seen these kind of creatures before, the one which Kyran had turned himself into, although they were extremely rare in the forest he dwelled in, they were most surely more common the further north you went. Kyran, or rather the beast he had turned into had given chase for abit, but soon changed his direction. Once himself and Risa had gained sufficient elevation he turned his attention on her. [color=aba000][i]'To think that foxboy had that kind of thing in him... even so a power you cannot control is not a power but a curse.'[/i][/color] He thought to himself, thinking back to Elsea momentarily before looking over Risa. [color=aba000][b]"She needs you? Who does? Your friends? There are things you can and cannot do princess. Your friends such as Elsea are beyond any help which may be given right now, you know these words be true. Foxboy even turned into some frenzied beast."[/b][/color] Elthrael said in a calm tone of voice, without looking at her, the fairy inspected the large building to the side which almost seemed to shake and there were screaming within. The trap had been sprung and now the ones which triggered it would have to pay the price for doing so. The moth fairy softly shook his head to himself. He had refused to enter the place himself, keeping himself however in the vicinity just for the potential to snatch Risa and fly off with her. [color=aba000][b]"Risa.. you are too important to this world than you know, without you the rebellion will ultimately bring the rise of a new tyrant if Aklenroth is indeed defeated... everything would be for naught. Everyone would want a chance at his throne if there is no clear powerful successor to bring back order, and who has the support of the people. Your friends, family... these humans... all would have died in vain for a peace which would never come. As long as you live, the claim on the fairy throne can be used to bring true order back to this world after the lich is defeated. This is your destiny Risa, this is the path you are meant to take. The hope that so many has no doubt has died believing in, and still believe in. Join with me and we can destroy Aklenroth together and bring this world peace under a grand fairy empire."[/b][/color] [color=aba000][b]"As of now Risa, I am the only one who has not abandoned you. I will not allow them to harm you. You are under my protection now."[/b][/color] He said softly, trying to comfort her by looking to her face. He began to fly towards the north, further away from the large building and the screams within it. [color=aba000][b]"We cannot help the ones within, to keep you alive is to aid the rebellion and keep the beacon of hope lit. The dreams and hopes they all shared."[/b][/color] He said softly to Risa's ear, his eyes darting around to survey the surroundings for any dark elves or beastlike foxboys. [color=aba000][i]'Now I just need to get her to one of the fairy kingdoms and the right to the throne will soon be mine. Oh I wonder if you will make it on time for the wedding, oh ever persistant foxboy.'[/i][/color] Elthrael mused inside of his head, as of this moment things were all in his hands. He was the one holding the cards now, now he just needed to play them right. [color=aba000][b]"Do you believe in destiny, princess Risa?~"[/b][/color] He asked softly in a seductive manner of voice.
