It was a nice warm day. A day like any other, squirrels running from tree to tree, birds chirping and bees buzzing from flower to flower. Nothing out of the ordinary in the Silver Forest except one thing stood out. Two obelisks stood under the giant trees, markings of a long forgotten time, guarding an ancient building all but turn to rubble and overgrown with vegetation.
A small pond stands beside the old monument, its crystal water so clear that you could see its bottom some twenty or so feet down. However, something was different this day, the pond was glowing. Giving off a golden hue that one would think that the sun was in it, but just as fast as it had appeared it was gone.
The Silver Forest never noticed such things really. After all, it was the realm of the Elves. However, the forest would notice this day because the light had brought someone with it. A loud gasp escaped the lungs of a young man as he broke the surface of the water, swimming to shore and pulling himself out of the water.
He sat gasping for air as water dripped from him, his dark hair hiding his face as he clutched at his left arm. His palm was burned with symbol of a dragon, one that matched his other hand except reversed....

(OOC if its premature I'll delete it)
Kyra had been waiting for a sign all year, she felt it comming and she knew another human creature would appear. As she sat in the branches of the tree she could almost smell the water in the air something commming from another realm, it wat human. She lept down from the tree glancing towards a golden glow.
As if pulled by strings controlled by a master she went towards the light and tried her bed to be quiet as she came closer to a water pond. She stepped to the side hiding in the shadow of a large tree. Kyra wasnt ready to see if this new arrival was in the mood for a chat so she waited to see...to see if he was what she waited for.

(Nah, that's okay.)
He sat there for a minute, catching his breath and becoming more and more conscious of the pain shooting up his arm. He willed the pain down to a slow throb as he caught his breath and stood. His clothes were drenched from the swim, but as he stood one could begin to tell that he was no elf.
He cracked his neck as his green eyes began to survey the land around him. The wind blew slightly from the east, stirring the silver bark trees and rustling the leaves. There were no leaves o the ground fro this was an evermortal forest, a magic forest. The ground was uneven in most places where the trees massive roots came to the surface. However, at a second glance he could tell that there was trail going between the massive trees.
"Where in the world am I?" he saids to himself in awe of the incredible view he was seeing as he caught sight of the monoliths hidden underneath the vegetation....

Kyra leaned against the tree and took a long deep breath then let it out. She stepped into the young mans sight and smiled. " Do you wish you know what world you are in, or what part of this world you are in?"
She took a step foward trying to get a better look at this human. It had to be human too broad and rugged to be elf. I wont harm you. Kyra kept her stance solid ready for him to lash out because of confusion. "Are you alright traveler?"

Daron jumped as the woman came in his sight, and asked him that question. A young woman coming out of the woods in front of him, kind of a shock.
"Traveler, what do you...."he trailed off as his face turned a bright red, he just realized she wasn't wearing any clothing. He turned away almost immediately as he realized it.
'Why isn't she wearing any clothes,' he asked himself. Trying to get his composure.
"Here," he said, pulling his shirt off and ringing it out unconsciously revealing a long diagonal scar in his back that he couldn't remember how he got, "It's a little wet, but it'll do."
He turned around and walked up to her handing her his shirt. She was pretty, and slightly taller than him, but he felt like there was something on about her. He was trying to stay focused on her face. Not really much trouble there considering that her eyes were amber.
"Could you please put this on, it's a little distracting," he said, making sure that his blue shirt was completely ringed out...
(How do you expect him to react, you posted it in your profile that she didn't wear clothing to often, so I went with it. Kind of a funny way to first meet someone don't you think? ;D)

Kyra smiled and laugh of a thousand laughs. She gently takes the shirt and slips it on. "I won't apologize for how you saw me but I will say I did not think of you before I stepped out. I don't mingle with the others much so I live in the mountains with the fairies and stags."
She looked at his palms and turned her back on the boy, pulling her hair back showing her neck with a golden fairy symble glowing brightly. "I think you should come with me. I have food shelter and maybe we could talk. And what do I do when or what?" She faced him staring him down

"Uh, what... sorry, I can't remember what I was gonna say actually," he said with a slight grin, that symbol on the back of her neck caught him off guard.
"Look, all I know is that I was supposed to come here, where ever here is," he continued waving his hand around.
"Wait a minute, Faeries? Did you say Faeries?" he said.
He knew a good bit about mythology, and he had some vague memories of being in this particular place once before, but he didn't know that there were Faeries here.
"Nymph, lady, whatever you are.. he said shaking his head, remembering that he had been in contact with the rulers of this forest once before when he was a child, but he thought he had been dreaming until he started getting the urge to find what he now called "The Gate." Now he was here, and he had to deal with it.
"Let's just get out of here," he said, his tone changing. He remembered something happening while he was coming through "The Gate", but he couldn't remember what. It made his skin crawl, whatever it was.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't catch your name?" he asked as he stepped forward, motioning for her to lead the way...

Listening to the conversation from a treetop, he allowed himself a small grin that his ordeals were going as they should- The man had met the nymph, and provided that all went well, his revenge would be complete. He made a slight hand motion, and his black rodent scurried up onto his shoulder, awaiting the command to chew on some wood... or whatever rodents do... Evil stuff.

Kyra smiled at the handsome young man. "I am no nymph by any means, I am as human as you are sir, as for my name it is Kyra Sangreal. Now we must make haste danger is upon us. I only hope we arent too late. Welcome to Eternia the land of no humans."
She started down a wild grown up path brushing up against brushes and whistling periodicly." We must be quicker we will be safe once I get you to the Queen. I fear it might be for nothing."
Kyra pressed on the trunk of a tree and it opened like a door. She reached in and pulled out a bow and arrow and a sword. "Here take one....oh I dont even know your name but please take a weapon my powers are weaker than usual. Come along we're getting close."

As he listened to the conversation, he thought to himself, She's a human? Well, well, seems my plans were for naught... No matter; there's always the matter of the b****.. He dropped from the tree to land beside the pair, closely followed by his rat falling from the treetop and hitting the ground with a CRUNCH He felt his pet climb onto his shoulder, and he wondered whether or not he could really trust either of these two... The newcomer could panic and do something stupid...

Kyra hears a crunching sound and aims her bow dropping the sword at her side."State your name and race, and you are following us. If you do not state your name I will shoot you between your eyes without a second thought, you and your rodent companion." She steadies her arm and narrow her eyes focusing on the shape in the dark woods.

"Well, I must say, good show, my dear," He said with just a hint of malice in his voice "Allow me to introduce myself. I am a human, just as you both... More or less, anyway. My name is not known to even myself, though I've taken to calling myself 'Rat'."
He kept a steady advance, bending over slightly to grab the dropped sword.
"I see.. Good steel, nice shape. Where did you get this?" He asked seriously, examining the make of the blade.
Well... This certainly is a surprise.. Such craftmanship, even I didn't know this thing existed.. Though not too much of a surprise, though.. b*tch put me out of touch for far too long.

"Stay back I do not trust you as of yet and I must get this boy to safety. As for my sword I doubt you would find anything like that in this world, I made it and I have many more." She said pressing the arrow against is neck. "Breathe too hard and the trigger just might go off, why are you following us and in such a loud manner."
Kyra put her hand on Darons shoulder easing him behind her.
I dont trust this "human" if he moves too fast I'll kill him.

Stepping back, Rat replied " Well, I'm following you because I'm just as clueless as any of you," Making a slight gesture with his fingers, his rat jumped to the ground beside him, and left to scavenge. "You see... I've got a little secret," He said as a blade slid from his lower forearm, small flecks of blood decorated the grooved blade, " I've been able to do this for some time now. No idea how it happened. But you've gotta admit," He slashed at a nearby bush, cutting it cleanly at the trunk. "It's pretty d*mn cool."

( ;D I think its time for things to get interesting, won't you agree.)
Daron was trying to follow the dialogue of these to when he heard something that made his skin crawl. He heard a guttural howl echo through the forest. Now something like that wouldn't make someone's skin crawl, but underneath the howl it seemed like there was a faint whisper of a primal scream. This howl sparked something in Daron's memory...
"Draug duath," he said as he looked into the depths of the forest. Something was wrong, the forest was deathly still. Then only moments later, he heard it again, closer....
"Uh, guys, nice to meet you by the way Rat, but I think we need to run and NOW," he said, a slight edge of panic in his voice. He knew what those things were, and he knew one thing, they never stopped for anything....even in death.
