Roa woke from the darkness, he found he was still on the slab in which he had been placed by the large man. The pain was gone, the voices were gone... was he dead? That could only be the end to what he had endured, he thought. He took his elfknife from his side and cut the palm of his hand. It bled red and dripped down the blade, seemingly absorbed into the metal. No, he was deffinitely alive, the sting from his cut told him so, the sight of his blood stirred him and another stain on the tip of his blade was made.
He propped himself up on his elbows, groaning from the ache in his muscles, he saw two priestesses one wood and one of his own kind. He adressed the Dark elfkin first, "Dark maiden, how goes it in the city of bloodsand?"
It took a moment for the young lady to understand what he was talking about and answered courteously, "I have not been in Bloodsand since I was a young child, not old enough to remember what it was like."
Shame, Roa could not help but think, "Then I suppose you are lucky.... and you wood maiden, how long has it been since you've seen your homeplace?"
The wood elfkin preistess answered, not knowing why she felt so trusting of this man who was just harboring one of the most deadliest powerful crystal in his chest, "I have not seen it in so many years I don't remember it."
"A lovely place, the metal spires rising above the trees, truely one of elfinkind's greatest acheivements in beauty of mating nature and metal." Roa said, able reminice now that his head is cleared of pain. In fact he his head never felt so clear.
"I... I don't remember.." The wood priestess began to feel regret that she was an infant the last time she was in the woodkin capital. The dark elfkin priestess began to feel the same. Sadness showed on each of their faces.
"Hey hey, don't feel bad." Roa groaned, now he felt bad that he upset them. "Its dangerous out there, I mean Bloodsand is near unapproachable now."
He sat up, "You girls are safe here, and learning some powerful magic. Which one of you saved me?"
"It was lady Claire that did the most, we only are support."
The girl with a stick farther up her butt than Arrona? If he said that outloud he would've gotten slapped.
"I see." Roa responded. "Im sure you will be that powerfull, you are still young." He wondered what these maidens have actually seen? Speaking of nieve elfkin, he wondered where Liathiel, his shadow in a dress, went until he spotted her sleeping with her head resting over on the corner of what he was on.
"Please see to it that she get a blanket." Roa said and laid back down.
((Roa has high speech craft, I don't think enough to turn a priestess away from the preisthood if you know what I mean so I wont try that, but enough that they feel so trusting of him. I also assume hana is around, but I don't expect to see much of her since she's playing mmo's now.)) |
