[color=C23F5B]Thaddeus found himself spitting some blood out of the side of his mouth as the air that flowed through his nose came in raspy sheers through the broken passages that would slowly begin to heal and mend themselves. Mesmers were notorious for healing almost immediately no matter the damage but Nemnons ability to cause great damage with little effort was troublesome, even to him. Nemnon if he realized it or not had mysterious powers that none of the other elfs had. Once upon a time Thaddeus had been curious to know what made the pale elf so different from his peers. But much like anything from back than, he had lost interest in knowing, getting old and living long years could do that and no one who lives beyond one hundred years could escape that fact. [b]"You can torture me all you like, but you will never get the satisfaction you seek. I told you before that I did not kill your daughter Nemnon, I loved your daughter."[/b] [color=gray][b]"You lie!"[/b][/color] Nemnon would backhand Thaddeus across the face splitting his cheek open like a banana peel. Thaddeus looked back, dark blood making its way down his chin. [color=gray][b]"I watched Mesmer.. watched as you drove your sword through her chest and pierced her heart! This very sword..."[/b][/color] Nemnon raised the blade in his hand, to the pale elf it was almost like a short sword in compared to his size. He looked at the blade than back at Thaddeus with, a devilish smirk crossed the lips of the pale elf. [color=gray][b]"It is almost irony that the one weakness you possess can be caused by the very blade you wield."[/b][/color] Thaddeus found himself screaming in pain as his own sword plunged deep into his shoulder and cindered his flesh with the dragons breath magic that enchanted the blade.

[color=gray][b]Dragon magic... the one weakness all Mesmer possess, the only true way to wound you... to kill you.."[/b][/color] Nemnon ripped the blade free from Thaddeus's arm, the wound in his shoulder was cauterized already from the heat of the blade leaving a slit that went from front to back of his shoulder. Thaddeus could feel the tree behind him still cindering from being touched by his blade. [b]"Do what you will, I am not afraid to die here. I go with regret but I am not afraid."[/b] Thaddeus was defiant towards Nemnon, the reality though was he could not imagine how the pale elf had found out about dragons magic being the bane of a Mesmer's existence. That didn't matter right now, what mattered was that he was in more danger than when he was first brought to this field. Nemnon lost his grin as Thaddeus would show him no fear, in one quick decisive blow the blade slashed down the Mesmers chest, his clothing cindered almost instantly as long shallow draw line was cindered through his skin from the base of his throat to his waistline. Thaddeus gritted his teeth from the pain as the pale elf than slashed him across the chest from side to side. [color=gray][b]"I will make you beg for death Mesmer, I will make you cry out for mercy, the same way she cried for mercy. You... you will not die easy like her, your very last breath will be of pain."[/b][/color]

Nemnon spat the words out viciously at the Mesmer, it was almost like pure venom for the ears. Out of nowhere a low chuckle would come from Thaddeus as his chest heaved in and out heavily from the damage he was sustaining. [b]"You can kill me pale elf, but if you do than you will never find true justice for your daughter. I know who really took her life that night, if you believe it or not, it makes no difference because I am not dyeing here today, I will not die before I've had my revenge against that person. So do your worse you half breed shite."[/b] Thaddeus felt the fist smash into his face as his sunglasses were shattered almost instantly, his head slamming back against the tree again. Nemnon was already pulling his fist back to give another decisive blow but he was interrupted suddenly by the arrival of a large group of elves. The eldest one in front would step forward and place a fist on his chest and bowed before Nemnon. [color=gray][/color][b]"আমাদের একটা সমস্যা আছে, ভ্রমণকারীরা একটি ড্রাগনের অধিকারী। এটা শক্তিশালী। আমরা এর সাথে কোনও মিল নেই, তাদের সাথে একটি ছোট ছেলে রয়েছে, সম্ভবত আমরা তাকে অপহরণ করতে পারি এবং অন্যদের বশীভূত করতে তাকে ব্যবহার করতে পারি। (We have a problem, the travelers possess a dragon. It is strong. We are no match for it, there is a young boy with them, perhaps we can kidnap him and use him to subdue the others.")[/b] Thaddeus looked up slowly, his usual non challan look was gone. Boy? There was no way it was Thomas, it couldn't be, he had mesmerized the boy before leaving. 

Unfortunately the Mesmer's emotion gave away to Nemnon who noticed the perking up when the boy was mentioned. He cocked his head idly as a thought occurred to him that had not before. He was so blinded by his need for revenge he never truly considered why the Mesmer had come back here so willingly and had been so easy to capture. [color=gray][b]"Kill the boy."[/b][/color] Nemnons words were direct and sudden, Thaddeus felt his ire rise as his face became a vicious snarl, [b]"You touch the boy and I will rip your throat out you half breed!"[/b]Nemnon would smile as the outburst from Thaddeus was all he needed to confirm that he indeed did care for the boy, maybe even the whole group itself. Damn it, Thaddeus would chide himself silently, his outburst had been so sudden that even he couldn't stop it from happening. Raw acts of emotion were not usually things the Mesmer was prone too but the mere mention of Thomas being killed had driven him to do just that. There was no doubt that Thomas meant everything to him, the boy had grown on him, to the point where he did the dumbest thing he could have done. [color=gray][b]"Its seem that the mesmer has developed relationships, you were a distraction weren't you, so that group could make it through here more safely? Clever. ছেলেটিকে আমার কাছে নিয়ে এসো। বাকিগুলোকে মেরে ফেলো, এটা নাও, এটা সেই ড্রাগনকে পাঠাতে তোমাকে অনেক সাহায্য করবে। (Bring me the boy. Kill the rest, take this, it will help you greatly in dispatching that dragon.)"[/b][/color] 

Nemnon would toss Thaddeus's sword to the elf whelp who caught it and nodded his head in understanding. But before that elf could even turn to leave another elf would leap foreword and drive a crude blade straight into the chest of the elf holding Thaddeus's sword. The look of shock on the elfs face was great as he fell forward, the sword would free from his grip as it caught by the one who had stabbed him. Without hesitation the elf threw the sword blade first. It would slap the tree where Thaddeus was, it would cut through at an angle as the blade would slit through the bindings that held the Mesmer to the tree. Falling to his feel Thaddeus would grab his sword and rip it away just in time to see Nemnon grab the elf Thaddeus has mesmerized and crush his throat with little to no problem killing him instantly. [color=gray][b]"Clever."[/b][/color] Nemnon spoke almost matter of fact as he wiped the blue blood from his hand. Reaching his hand back, one of his lieutenants would emerge carrying a great [url=https://www.renderhub.com/cosplayitemsrock/sword-of-thanos-from-movie-avengers-endgame1/sword-of-thanos-from-movie-avengers-endgame1-01.jpg]two bladed sword[/url] that was as long as Thaddeus was tall and as thick. 

[color=gray][b]"I will admit I did not believe you could do that to one of my warriors, but it is of no consequence. I would rather slice you apart piece by piece anyways. However... a dragon is troublesome, even for me, so I will make you an offer. I will let them make it out of the woods unharmed but they must watch me kill you first, especially the boy. I do not know what he means to you but obviously he means much to you. The only thing better than killing you is making sure the pain of your death is forced on those who love you. My warriors will escort them here unharmed and than we will fight to the death. That or I will order them to attack that group until even the dragon is overwhelmed."[/b][/color] Thaddeus glared at Nemnon, if he liked it or not that deal that had just been offered was the best alternative. These woods were filled with elves ready to die for Nemnon, enough to overwhelm them all, [b]"Fine... but if I win you let all of us walk out of these woods unharmed.[/b] Nemnon would nod his head in agreement, he was confident that he would not lose and it was easy to see in his demeanor. With a flick of his wrist he sent his top lieutenants to approach the group.

Thomas rubbed his butt quietly as the situation around them seemed to worsen with every second, maybe it was his naivety or his being so young but the very prospect of what was transpiring was exciting to him, he felt like he was on a real adventure for the first time in his life. He had never elves like this before, he had heard about them from his father but to see them now up close.. it was exciting and the vines too, they were so life like almost like they had a mind of their own, or did they? These questions and many more ran through his head even when Shina was asking him if his father had known he was there. Of course his father didn't know he was here, he would never allow Thomas to put himself in such a situation, he knew it was going to be dangerous the moment his father mesmerized him or at least he let him think he did. Truth be told he had done it so much to Thomas that he had found a way to dull the affects and avoid them all together if he did it right without his father knowing. It was simple really, you just had to divert your gaze away from the center of his eyes, only, this was hard to do because it only took a second to snare you so you had to guess when he was going to do it so you could take that second to divert. Technical was the word for it not that Thomas was looking for such a word either way. He did sort of feel bad for Malvo though, his father would put him through the ringer for letting Thomas escape and with his dagger at that.

Slowly it did dawn on him through, the reality of the situation, where was his father. For the first time he looked around and his became almost sullen. His excitement started to dissipate as he listened to the conversations now and realized his father was not here at all. Rudolph however with his question of finding Thaddeus dead was what made it very real for Thomas, made him realize that his father was in danger and none of them really knew where he was. He swallowed pretty hard as a few tears caught in his eyes, when he heard his father was alive he was almost filled with joy, he had to go rescue him, which was his mistake when he turned from the group taking out his compass and finding northeast, he tried to run in that direction while everyone was discussing things when he suddenly felt a strong pair of arms wrap around him and pick him up off the ground. He felt a sharpened metal blade go to the side of his throat.[/color]

[color=gray][b]"Enough, you will come with us or this boy will die. Nemnon invites you to a fight to the death between him and Thaddeus. If you come willingly none of you will be harmed, if you resist than we will take you by force, dragon or not."[/b] Feinor spoke very directly, to the dragon in particular as it seemed to be fixated on the boy and Thaddeus for that matter. He tightened his grip on Thomas and made it clear that if any of them tried anything he would slice his throat from side to side. [b]"You will follow me now, to the battle grounds, once your friend falls to Nemnon your safety has been assured, you will watch."[/b] With that the musclar elf backed away with Thomas in hand, the other elves in the trees advanced once more and started to form a tight circle around the group.[/color]
