• RONILIAR

    He had actually kissed her! He didn't know what had made him do it, it had just happened! But he thought that just that one kiss, and knowing she had kissed back made all his injuries worth it. It had started to get dark on their way back to the village, and he stopped to make camp. Artemis had gathered some berries and nuts, and he had shot a small deer, a Kilin, for himself. She did not eat meats. He came back with the deer slung over his shoulder. "here, lets bandage your shoyulder." Artemis spoke suddenly, starteling him. "but..." She rolled her eyes. :no buts. WindBlastre injured you. It isnt big, but its pretty deep. I have someointment here..." Pulling a jar of foul smelling paste from her bag, she preceeded to smear it over the cut and apply bandages. The pale orange paste stung and the stench of it made his eyes water, but after a while it stoped hurting. "thabnks..." he rasped. His throat was dry, so he took his Waterskin to the lake to fill it and get a drink. He knew there were creatures like Dark Elves and vampires lived in this forest. As he bent to drink, something hit his shoulder. A sharp, searing pain spread through his wound and down his arm. Turning, he saw a dark skinned girl with hair blacker than artemis's and eyes like fire wielding a dagger. SHe had stabbed his shoulder. The dark elves were not fond of intruders, and they would kill anyone in their territory. "any last words, cousin?" SHe asked in a sweet, melodious voice. "yes, actually" he replied. Then he shouted. "ARTEMIS!"


    ARTEMIS QUICKSILVER

    She had heard his cry. She ran at full speed through the trees. Dagger gleaming and slashing through the undergrowth. Breaking through the last line of trees, she saw a dark skinned elf girl holding a dagger up to Roniliar's throat. A dark elf. She hadent noticed her yet, and artemis lunged, pushing the dagger away from Roniliar's throat. SHe had been longing for a real fight since she had arrived at Dragon's ROck. Now it was time. The two girls circled each other for a moment and then they lunged. Daggers flashed and metal clashed. The screech of iron on iron that signified two weapons clashing echoed through the forest. And then, pushing back from each other, the two flew back through the air and landed on their feet, Dust flying. The dark elf charged artemis, who jumped into the air just in time and leaped over the dark skinned girls back. The dark elf turned, and sized artemis up before charging again. Artemis dodged, and grabbed the dark elf by her arm and put her dagger onto her throat. "leave us be, now." she commanded, before releasing the dark elf girl to run back into the woods.
