Elendil the elven ranger felt the eyes of the elf woman upon him and he had to smirk. He then began to feel the wind get colder and the light of the day fading as darkness descended upon them. Elendil's eyes adjusted pretty well, as well as his canine partner Ajax. The wolf's eyes seemed to glow bit by bit every time the moon's rays caught them. He enjoyed staring at that glow and for some that same glow filled them with terror. Well at least not anyone in this group sense they would know that Ajax would not harm anyone of them, unless they forced him too or he ordered it. Perhaps when they stopped he would indulge the elf woman and talk with her. He had a lot of memories he could share with her. The moments he shared with Ajax by the lake, that the elves called Moonlight. They called it that because it was especially beautiful on the days of the full moon when it danced on the water's surface. It was then that their course began to change and Heinrich began to explain. They were to go underground from here ,but it would seem they would rest inside their destination for awhile before moving on. This was understandable and logical for there were some who were still tired from the traveling they had undergone to get to the city. They would have to keep in mind of their mortal partners in this quest. Yes, we elves and the lizard could walk on for hours and hours without needing to rest but these... humans. They did not have the gift of longevity and immortality like the elves do. In a way he envied that,... the ability to die of old age would be seen as a curse to them but to him, it would be seen as a blessing. How many friends of the forest have he seen die over the years and left him there alone? He sighed and looked up as they reached a infrastructure that seemed rather out of place in the forest. It was most odd by design but that did not stop nature from trying to take it over. The moss gave a distinct sent and the flowers where quite beautiful. Without notice the giant golem belonging to the mage smashed the chains and used its strength to open the doors. He watched as Heinrich disappeared into the darkness of the building and he could tell that there were stairs leading downwards. He followed him down and into a large chamber that was rather well intact despite the shape of the building on the surface. It was a little unappealing with its worn out tapestries of old and the gargoyles did not improve the atmosphere at all. However, the truly amazing part was that conjured by the mage leading them. In a blink of an eye the sorcerer summoned a large camp for all of them with everything they needed. He did not take the luxury in enjoying his own creation though as he moved to the side and sat closing his eyes to rest. The solitude guardian standing beside him watching over it master. He was rather impressed with the man and his abilities and hoped that it would help them all in the future.
He decided to take his next few steps towards the make shift camp and stirred about the stew within the pot. He did not really need it actually for he had carried with him some elven bread that would sustain him for the entire trip. However, he would not deny Ajax the bounty of a good meal. He poured some of it in one of the bowls on the stool and then placed it down for the wolf to enjoy. Once Ajax began to help himself he moved to sit down and from there he pulled out one of the pieces of bread and even though it was a small portion, it was enough to fill his stomach.
Nova felt the cold chill run up her back as the wind carried with it the coolness of night. She looked behind her towards the city that she thought she would see but found that it was out of her sight. Had they traveled that far already?... She took notice that the elf woman was staring at not just her but her brother, and Elendil as well. A bit of her wondered why and the other half didn't really care or find it at all important. Perhaps, it was their differences in dress or choice in weapons, in any case it was not all that interesting. Her attention got moved to the mage as he spoke. He voiced the next set of steps for them and right now those steps lead them off the path and under the oak trees. When they came upon the old stone building she found her self wondering what would be waiting for them in its deep darkness. She then found her eyes shifting to the drow elf. Would they face her kin in there?... maybe, maybe not, unless this new path took them down and deep into the earth. Once the entrance was opened she followed the mage down into the chamber. By the time she got down she already saw him in the center as he created for them a make shift camp. She crossed her arms and smirked. "Well someone likes to show off their spell book." She said and her smirk left her face when he moved away from the camp. He had no desire to partake in any of it and simply just rested alone. He created it all for them and not himself,... how selfless of him.
She suddenly felt a little push on her back and noticed Erandur was pushing her farther in. "Well lets not let his hospitality go to waste,..." He said as pulled her along towards the fire. He noticed that it was beef stew, he heard that it was quite popular when it came to traveling merchants who would rest on the side of the road. He never tried such a thing sense them being raised in the life of a elven city, they were never exposed to such thing. Not that they never enjoyed meat before, but this was something different altogether. He took up two bowls and began to fill one and then rose it up to offer it to Nova who just stood there. He wanted to share this experience with his sister seeing as he never tried such a thing. Then it occurred to him, Elendil lived outside the city... did he by chance partake in this kind of meal? He would inquire it of him later, for now he would eat. Once Nova stepped over to join him he handed her the bowl that he filled and then filled the other bowl for himself. He sat in one of the stools and used the spoon provided to try it. The meal despite it's looks was actually pretty tasty, from the looks of it besides beef, it had carrots, onions, mushrooms, and other vegetables. He looked over to Heinrich to inquire about it but found the mage asleep. He then realized one thing that he didn't before. This whole thing was one large conjuration spell, he wondered if it drained the man by casting it. Human's did not have very large mana pools like elves do naturally and he shook his head at him. How reckless,.... well nothing he could do about it now but he would scold the man later about it. For now he would simply make sure there was enough stew left over for Heinrich. He then looked to Nova who seemed to rather enjoy the meal as much as him. He enjoyed the carefree attitude she always had and decided that they needed a adventure like this to open their eyes and to get out for awhile. Perhaps, he could loosen his shoulders some more and let them drop. These thoughts made him regret the attitude he showed to the man earlier.
