Two figures, a smaller one and a taller, pointy eared one, silently and swiftly moved through the forest running against the wind. They didn't wanted to be heard or seen.They got up right before the first bird had sung his song. Both carrying a bow and dagger with them, traveling light. Suddenly they heard something rustling in the bushes, making both of them stop in their tracks. They looked around wanting to know what caused the rustle. There, about 30 steps away from them stood a deer. She was peacefully drinking from a small pond. Both of them crouched down. The taller more musceled one slowly took an arrow from his back and drawed his bow. He aimed at the animal, released the string and hit his prey right behind its shoulder hitting the lunges. The deer ran a few yards before tripping and falling to the ground. The smaller and faster figure of the two ran towards their prey and held it against the ground taking her dagger. She spoke some words in the elven tongue and quickly made an end to its suffering.
"Nice one Ary." Her partner said as he walked towards her. "Nice shooting." Arya said back and smiled taking some rope from her bag and binding the paws of the deer together. The elf looked at the sun. "We should be heading back now." She looked up at the sun. "Yeah we should, we need to get prepared for the union of the circle." She sighed her thoughts trailing of to her sick father. He might have abandoned her when she was still a baby. But he was still her father, the only one she got. "Lyari." The elf looked at her and nodded. "Yeah, lets go." He slung the deer over his shoulders and they made their way back to the castle. Barely saying a word to eachother.
They arrived at the castle. Seeing some new people standing there. "Hey Lyari." "hmm?" The elf looked at her. "They must be from the circle, don't ya think?" He nodded. "Yeah I guess so princess." Arya rolled her eyes. "Lyari, we're still alone you know. You can call me by my name." Lyari smiled. "You never know who might be listening right?" The princess sighed. "Anyway would you go tell the queen they're here? I'll go take the deer to the kitchen." He looked at her and then gave her the deer. "Okay then see you at the court then princess." He winked at the last word, making Arya sigh again.
Arya made her way to the kitchen and gave the kitchenstaff the deer. It would be prepared for tonights dinner for the guests. Arya took a basket and filled it with bread, some dried meat, rice and a bottle of water. She hid it under her cloak as she made her way to the court. She entered the court looking suspisios with her hood still on.
"Who goes there!" One of the guards said loudly drawing his weapon. Arya took her hood off revealing her face. "P-princess! Pardon me! I do apologize." He quickly bowed. "Stand up dear sir." Arya said. "Now let me pass" She looked at the guards who quickly nodded and got out of her way. "Of course princess. Go on." Arya walked further and saw the half demon standing in the middle of the room. She walked over to him. The judge walked in and saw the princess walking up to the half-demon. "Princess the trial is just about to start stop this. What are you doing? Princes I suggest you don't get to close to that demon." Arya turned her to the judge. "He may be a demon but we should treat him like any other prisoner. This man didn't have anything to eat since he got here! He must be hungy. Isn't he suffering enough? Its only fair that he got something to eat while he's here." She took the basket from under her cloak and turned herself to the demon. "I saw how the guards treated you and I heard they didn't give you anything to eat yet so. I brought some for you."
