Kyra lowered her bow and arrow and surveyed the forest. She sniffs in the air as her eyes widen."Sh*t, Daron is right run NOW."She grabs her sword and hurriedly pushes Daron forward.
"Rat come on, I still dont trust you but it isnt safe." Kyra said as she took the lead infront of Daron darting under limbs tearing her shirt and scratching up her arms. She looked back at Daron."You know what it is dont you. Tell me I know isnt nausiating." Kyra tried whistling for an animal to get her bearings but no sound came from the forest. Kyra breathed deeply and held it before letting out a long sigh.

"Oh..." Rat said plainly, almost lacking any emotion in his voice, "Well this is a horrible turn of events..." He let down the blades embedded in his arms, small flecks of red dotting them and the flesh they had pierced to emerge, hiding his hands from view. "Druag duath? Crap. Kyra! Let me borrow your sword; I want to see how it handles." Making a steady retreat towards the boy, he shifted slightly as he heard a small rustling in the bushes, too close for comfort, "NOW!"

"You don't get it," he said, casting glances left and right,"These things are made of pure evil, no normal weapon can hurt them. All we can do for now is get out of their territory before we end up in their stomachs."
"They are shadow creatures, mockaries of there natural forms...wolves. Only magic can hurt them, and even then it has to bestrong magic."
Daron had no idea why they were there though. Usually they avoided humans, but if they were in their territory....all they could do for now was run.

"Well, this is brilliant.. We've got pure f*cking EVIL coming to eat our faces, and we've got NO magic?!"
He sprinted past Kyra into some low brush, only to be tackled and pinned to the ground by one of the shadows that was screaming into his face. Rat shoved the beast off of him and ran back to Kyra "Well... that was useless." He looked down at his chest, and saw that it was blackened slightly.

"RAT! Don't do that!" Daron shouted,"They want to split us up. It's how they hunt, separating those from others for a quick kill. They still hunt like animals."
Daron was getting a little winded, but he knew that to stop was death. There was only one way to stop these things. The elves.
"Kyra, Rat. We have to find the elves, there should be a village or something close by. We have to go there...."

"The Elves?! What good are elves when we've got hell at our heels?" Seeing that the creatures were steadily advancing on their bunched up group, Rat flung his little rat at one of the creatures; turning towards Daron, "So, then, where are these elves? That little b*stard that passes for a rat will only keep them busy for so long..."

Kyra nods at Daron and glances at Rat" I know how close we are to the elves but they wont help me." She looked at the boys and sighed," Rat take Daron run as fast as you can that way," she pointed to a large oak like tree. " Scream for sanctuary, we wont make it running like this and I can hold them off long enough for you to get to that elf territory."
Kyra didnt want to be some dead saint she wanted to get Daron to the fairies not the good for nothing elves. A evil creature not with her powers fading. As she thought that she saw one and whispered lowering her arms to her sides palm facing the beast as she spoke louder tornado funnels formed in her palms getting bigger each moment."Go now if you are ever going to make it I cant hold them off forever, Daron take that sword it is yours dont let anyone with malice touch that sword."
Kyra thrust her palms towards the Duagth and it hit the tree the tree swallowed the wolf and she forced more water to sweep away the wolves.

In that moment, something happened that not even Daron himself could explain. The sword in his hand and two others fighting while he is powerless. Kyra in the that one instance reminded him of a face he had long ago forgotten, an elf that had saved his life when he first came here.
"Isilme..." he said under his breath about to get moving again having stopped because of Kyra. As the name left his lips, the forest itself seemed to begin to glow. The forest itself was alive and the it would not let darkness into its borders any further.
It was like saying that name woke the forest to the presence of the Duath. They could be easily seen now and were not coming any closer. If anything they were trying to flee, from the humans and from the forest itself. In mere seconds they were gone.
Then, a voice spoke out, both harmonious and beautiful. It spoke in elvish, but Daron understood what it said.
"Come to the east, my friends all, for you are welcome in the land of the elves once more...."

Kyra leaned against a tree and looked at Daron. "I cant see that much power in myself. What where the words spoken, I know it was elvish, please tell mle what." Kyra took in a deep breath. She was tired from spell casting and wanted a warm bath. " Daron are we okay?" Kyra wasnt much for a victim but she was tired and lean against the tree for her life.

"Easy," Daron said as he rushed over to check on her,worried that she had expended too much energy.
"That was....an old friend," he said reluctantly after reassuring himself that she didn't use too much energy.
There was a fierceness in his eyes now, that voice could only have been Isilme. She was the reason he was back here and the reason why most of his life people had thought him strange because he talked of elves. For years, he only wanted to be normal and then on his birthday he felt an urge, almost like something pulling at him to return. Now he knew what.
"Listen, you think you can walk. We need to go east, the voice said go that way and told us that we are welcome in the land of the elves," he said in a bit of a rush. He wanted to get away from this part of the forest as soon as possible.
"Take my arm if you feel unsteady," he said to Kyra. Things were moving fast, too fast and he didn't know what it was that was happening. He had to get answers, even if it meant staring the elf princess straight in the face to get the answers he wanted....

Kyra stood firmly and nodded. "Elves will not accept me in their realm Daron but I will take you as far east they permit me to go." She gently took the sword from Daron and sheathed it and hung her bow and arrows across her back."I say if we are going to move we must hurry, I have no more energy for an open attack and someone knows we are here.''
Kyra held her palms up and turned eastward and began walking. She didnt even need to open her eyes as she walked the forest formed a path of her steps."Come along you need to be safe." All she wanted was a warm bath or spring in water at that moment and she didnt feel the elves would care for her entering their lands.

Watching the chaos unfold before them, Rat called Daron over "Daron, come on. Let's get to our pointy-eared friends in the east. But there's one thing, first..." Kneeling, he pressed his tattooed right hand into the ground, and waited, the air around him warping slightly and gaining an orange hue to it. Suddenly, a circle of flames erupted from the ground, forming a perimeter for the clearing. "Great then. Let's get moving." He grabbed Daron's arm and jumped into the trees, which were just starting to catch, dragging Daron with him. "Come on, Kyra. These flames are going to constrict and kill off at least one of these monsters. Let's GO."

Kyra opened her eyes and looked at the forest around her burning. She lowered her head and sighed." I'm sorry." she said to a tree laying her hand on the tree causing it to glow."Ready, go Rat!"
She lept up to a branch of one of the trees in front of her leaping from tree branch to tree and so on. She stopped at a distant tree waiting for Rat to pull along Daron. " For the love of nature, Daron will you step it up a lil we arent safe like this and we are so close. I so hope you know how to get into the Elves safe area because I dont. What about you Rat?" As she spoke she shot off arrows at beasts nearing Daron and Rat.

"I've got a vague idea as to where it is... No telling what'll happen, though." Ducking Kyra's arrows, he dragged Daron through the forest canopy, getting closer towards the sunlight and the elf camps... "Let's see if they're susceptible to spontaneous combustion, shall we?!" He snapped his fingers, igniting the tiniest of sparks for only a moment. Then, a few seconds later, a plume of white hot flames exploded around one of the beasts!
(OOC: Would that be enough to kill it? I mean, sure, it could dodge it.. kind of. But are these things immortal or what? Hopefully they're flammable...)

As Daron saw all the flames he was beginning to realize that these two were not normal, at least in his sense of the word.
Daron got his arm away from Rat, getting his own balance in the tree.
"You two certainly have some tricks up your sleeves. Move, fast! there's lifeline to the north, a cave. Ancient magic protects it and it also leads to Elsindral, the throne of the Elf kingdom," he said as he began to move through the trees like he was some sort of monkey.
(Their not immortal, but it takes alot to kill them. That show of power seriously hurt the one it got, it wont' be following us, but like I said, their not easily dissuaded.)
