Breaking the treeline of the forest revealed a wide barren landscape. There were few trees, but many stumps where there used to be many as a result of the wood needed to maintain Malthemoor during its early days. The Dark Elves needn't rely as heavily on timber as Malthemoor many of its denizens from the cold. 

[Color=darkturquoise]"Ahhh, what could that be?"[/color] He pondered after Myra pointed at the large floating crystal that appeared to overlook the city. She did not appear to know judging by her body language. [Color=darkturquoise][i]How could she not know what it was? She is not an infant nor a Mane… So how? How did she not speak, yet understand? How? Mother, do you know? How? [color=crimson]HOW?![/color][/i][/color]


Vrexen glanced at his companion, his eyes meeting hers that told how wary she was about continuing towards the dark walls of Malthemoor. He cared not for her fear, anxiousness, or concern. He would push forward, unafraid. Even as she gradually vanished from his sight he continued. In his entire life, he rarely relied on others. Many were a convenience or a means to an end. How could you cooperate in a realm where violence was not only recreation but the way of life. Power and blood were the rewards of dominance over another within a landscape that sought to utterly destroy you.

Vrexen's third eye looked to the crystal, only to shut immediately as it was painfully blinded by the amount of magic within it. 

[Color=crimson]Raaaaagh!"[/color] He let out as he also felt a slight tug on his tail that caused him to stop and momentarily bare his teeth to his rear. [Color=darkturquoise]"What?"[/color] He asked sharply. Myra would notice his third eye was shut. She shook her head and pointed at a group of humanoids traversing in the distance. [Color=darkturquoise]"Why are you so afraid of these creatures. You could kill them if you desired it. They would not even see you if you did it properly… those claws would release so much blood from their…"[/color] Vrexen stopped himself. [Color=darkturquoise]"I will show you the standing our kind has in all the places you can fathom! Follow and watch!"[/color] 

Vrexen stood up on two feet and marched towards the gates confidently before an arrow struck the ground right in front of what would be his next step. It was not just a simple warning. It told Vrexen that this archer was accurate.

[Color=lavender]"HALT! Announce yourself and state your business!"[/color] There was a short pause, and at that moment, Vrexen knelt down to pull the arrow from the ground. [Color=lavender]"Or die on Daka!"[/color] One of the archers manning the wall shouted while another took aim once more. Vrexen was studying the projectile in his hand before snapping. It was a move of wonder, not intimidation, but how could an archer from such a distance discern that?

[Color=darkturquoise]"Vrexen! Envoy of Lilith the Mother of Demons! I seek an audience… your two-headed dragon of darkness! Your king! Your queen!"[/color] Vrexen roared proudly with arms wide. Vrexen was not sneaking into this city.

In moments, dark elven soldiers moved to surround Vrexen, visually confirming what he was.

[Color=lavender]"What did you say you're here for?[/color]

[Color=darkturquoise]"Must I repeat myself, child? Audience. Audience with your lords to discuss an alliance. There is war here. Light and dark! My mother haaaates the light, and so do the rest of my kind. The energy in the sky, though not so visible… burns. We cannot eliminate that [I]thing[/i], but we can gut the beings that conjure it on this world. The enemy. Our enemy. So give me audience and I will help nourish this two-headed fiend with victory and power."[/color] Vrexen's third eye finally reopened, causing a few of the soldiers to flinch. Their weapons had been ready to be drawn, but word of this demon arriving on Daka needed to be pushed up the chain of command.

Until then, they would escort Vrexen inside, while unknowingly welcoming Myra as well.
