Eilis voice had almost turned emotionless, its tone reflecting a sort of resignation to what she considered inevitable. [color=f49ac2]"They 'traced' me."[/color] Realizing that this might not be enough of an answer to Arn she continued. [color=f49ac2]"They used an old ritual to find me...it sends a sort of beaconlight towards the intended target. It is meant to give an indication where this person is. It is an old an forbidden ritual. One that requires 'certain...elements'. Things that are links to the intended target."[/color][/color] She gripped her blanket a little tighter as she felt tears escape her eyes. [color=f49ac2]"They 'traced' by blood..."[/color] A choked up cry escaped her lips as her hands gripped her pillow in agony, her body shaking from the weeping. With final painful words she explained. [color=f49ac2]"They killed her...They killed my Mother. They murdered her and its all MY fault."[/color] She buried her head in the pillow trying to muffle her cries and her agony. [color=a187be]"Don't you dare tell me how to do my job Venray!"[/color] The Captain sneered at him, looking at him with utter contempt and catching sight of Thobias. [color=a187be]"Don't think we're done either! I'll get to you and Hellspawn later!" [/color]He threatened before he was distracted as he saw Tyrhallan move to the hilt of his sword. [color=ed1c24]"You don't want do that Evander."[/color] He spoke with a calm threatening undertone that indicated he was done humouring this particular lordling. [color=ed1c24]"I've had a rather tiring and troublesome day...you really do not want to test my patience today."[/color] He narrowed his eyes whilst he kept staring at the Mage Captain, who seemed unsure. Evander knew the Knight Captain was not someone to anger. The Venray's were an old family and had a reputation of keeping their word whether that was in promise or in threat. Oathkeepers and all that schtick as far as he was concerned it was all a bunch of baloney. [color=a187be]"Then stop using MY men."[/color] Evander barked though his fury seemed somewhat diminished. [color=ed1c24]"I will, with one exception."[/color] Tyrhallan replied. [color=a187be]"That bloody firemage isn't worth the trouble!"[/color] [color=ed1c24]"And clearly you don't appreciate what he tries to do, since your eagerness to set him straight. Why bother with all the hassle? Surrender him to my command, that would be all I ask."[/color] Tyrhallan suggested in demand as he widened his stance even more. [color=ed1c24]"Refuse and I consider it an insult on 'my honour' and you know how such matters are decided."[/color] He dropped casually watching the Mage Captain's eyes widen with disbelief and barely contained fury. That was before he huffed and threw his hands up violently. [color=a187be]"Fine. FINE. You can have the man. You can deal with his insubordination and his blatant refusal to listen to command."[/color] He complained. [color=a187be]"But I am 'warning you' Venray...if you take away my men from me again it will be my honour that will be insulted and you will pay for that then." [/color]Evander eyed Tobias coldly. [color=a187be]"Tell your master that he shouldn't bother coming back. He...is your Captain now."[/color] He stated pointing violently at Tyrhallan's face before turning around and stalking off. As he moved back angry ranting mutters escaping the man's mouth before he rounded a corner. With the man disappearing from view Tyrhallan eased up again, his hand retracted from his sword and a heavy sigh passed over the Knight Captain's lips. [color=ed1c24]"All right that went better than I expected..."[/color] He turned to Thobias giving the apprentice a friendlier look than that he had given Evander. [color=ed1c24]"Let's see if we can still procur some of that salmon and pray Dalmer hasn't eaten them all."[/color] He joked as he gestured for the young mage to walk again.
