[Darlena O'seth]

Highpass

" I'm glad the hunters travel here less frequently than freeport."

:: Darlena moves quickly though the mountain city knowing her next stop is Dark solace...then to orggok to meet Zugarok. ::

" Hello there. " :: A familiar voice come from the coachman's stables. ::

" I see you left my fair city."

:: Laurence comes out infront of her accompanied by his guards.::

" hello Laurence you seem to have faired well since our last encounter."

:: Chuckles:: " Well Naldany it wasn't easy but I managed just fine."

"I don't know where you herd that name from but I no longer use it." :: Removing her hood::

" As you wish...... There was matter I did want to tell you before you left."

"And what would that be?"

" Would you like to know of your mothers location?"

"I'm not sure she has no memory of me a spell blocks any knowledge of her life in Seriak."

" Hmm well my informants tell me she is traveling to a place where the preist of plague gather."

" Really..."

" Indeed but use caution around her she is a were hunter.. and a powerful one at that. She might slay you if your not carefull."

"From where is she traveling?"

" The oasis of marr.. the gypsy camp."

" Then I must be off... My thanks on your information."

" She calls herself LADY NIKKII do well to avoid her right now."

:: Darlena nods her head an hurries off to Dark solace.::

[Darlena O'seth]

:: A few hpurs has passed an Darlena reaches the area of Dark Solace thier seems to be a welcoming commitee awaiting an arival. Several priest stand at its entrance looking out into the valley.::

" Move though quickly child, we await the Preistest Nikkii."

:: Realizing what Laurnce said was true she races to the coachman knowing how she wished to see her mother it could prove fatal to her. ::

" The caravan approaches !!! Make ready to welcome her in. "

:: Darlena quickly exchanges horses and starts back out the gate ::

" You will not stay for the ceremony the preistest will preform? " the coachwoman asks.

:: Darlena simply shakes her head no an attempts to leave but her path is blocked by the preist escorting a beautiful robed teir'dal woman. As she got closer Darlena notices she looks just like her but with brown flowing hair complimented by her glowing tiara. As the make their way past Darlena attemps to squeeze by them, Nikkii halts the group and brings out what appears to be a large glowing spiked wand. ::

" There is a beast amonst this crowd.... step aside and I will smite this foul being."

:: Darlena jumps on the horse attempting to flee before she is detected my her. her hood falls off her head as she charges past the preist and Nikkii. Nikkii raises her wand drawning in red sparks the area shaking from the power she begins to draw apon. ::

" That Red haired Teir'dal has the mark of the beast." :: With that she sends red bolts of lighting at Darlena barely missing but placing a large hole in the wall. ::

" Coachwoman give me the name of that teir'dal ...... NOW !!! "

" Yes, my'lady her name is ....." looking though her ledger. " Darlena. "

" Darlena..... "

:: She turns to one of the preist ::

" I want to know evrything about that girl .. freinds, enemies... perhaps even a love interest. I will hunt her myself personally I feel out of practice."

" Yes Lady Nikkkii it will be done immediately. "

" Perhaps one of her friends will be of some use to me."

[Darlena O'seth]

:: Two hours have past since Darlena's departure::

" My'lady we have some names as you have requested."

:: Nikkii sits back in her chair taking a good look at the list of names.::

" The one that fled is named Darlena."

" Hmmm Wilkens... Slyfoot ...... Loveless....... Rhabuka .....Zugarok.... Phelan .. and Kalysta... "

" My'lady the one called Loveless is not far from here he was seen heading to sunnyvale village. "

" That is the village full of undead? "

" The rest frequent Freeport."

" Excellent Sent for Keyra I will have her meet me at sunnyvale. "

" Yes My'lady..."

:: Nikkii readies a horse an heads to Sunnyvale. Before long she comes upon the ruins of the town. She gets off her hourse an elects to walk the area in search of this associate of Darlena. As she rounds the corner she hears the sound of battle. There she sees Loveless fighting undead villagers ::

" You there .. is your name Loveless?" She asks walking up to him.

" Yes it is...... What may I do for you?

" You can start by telling me what you know of Darlena.."

" Why do you wish to know of her I have not seen her in many days."

"So you say ..... well then beast you will die here."

" Beast ... I no not what you talk about."

" Don't lie to me I can see the lycanthrope in you. "

" your a were-hunter aren't you?"

:: Nikkii nods and begins chanting the same spell you was gonna use on Darlena.::

" No don't kill me I'll buy you some halfling chocolates"

" You vile beast now you mock me."

:: Nikkii lets the bolt fly hitting loveless an sending him flying. Loveless staggers to get up and runs off.::

" Sorry My'lady I have better things to do than Die."

" No get back here ..... I swear there will be a bounty on your head for this.."

:: Just then Nikkii hears a voice behind her. ::

" Something wrong Lady Nikkii? "

" Keyra... took you long enough .. yes A lycanthrope by the name of loveless narrowly escaped me go find him and bring me his head."

" Yes Nikkii I will do as you wish.." :: The green haired elf scampers off after him.::

" I am so out of practice today.. Two have escaped from me now."

:: Within moments Keyra has found the injured loveless his flesh stinging from Nikkii's attack. She circles him watching him but staying her distance.::

" You cause us alot of problems "

" Great I guess the hunters are out tonight. I really should quit traveling alone"

" Well just let me put your soul at rest.. you see I cant reture to he until I have your head ..its my right of passage you know."

:: Keyra sends a arrow in his direction to keep him from resting. stalking his every move."

"Its only a matter of time before you succumb to you wounds... then you will be all mine hehe."

[Darlena O'seth]

:: Kerya continues to pursue loveless through the woods. Tuanting him.::

" Just make this easier on yourself... I don't like getting dirty.

" Well if you start slashing at me my blood will get all over you won't it."

:: Another arrow zips by him. :: Not to worry, I will make it quick and clean. Now stops this foolishness and let me free you from your curse."

" Lady I don't know what your talking about ... I'm not cursed."

" Don't lie to me I know that you are a lycanthrope."

" Oh yeah.. hows that.."

" Lady Nikkii has told me of you an you have a bounty on your head."

" You don't let up do you I told you I'm not a were- anything."

" Why don't you just show me your other half monster."

:: Keyra continues to stay in the shadows preparing another shot at Loveless this one pointed at his leg.::

" You waisting your time here hunter. " He says almost laughing.

" How dare you mock me I wont leave till I have your head and with that my right of passage will be complete."

" Yeah ... yeah ...."

" Fine if I attack you, I will force out the beast. Do you fear me? "

" No I..."

:: Before he could finish he sentence the novice hunter jumps down infront of him and attacks dagger aimed at his head. Loveless parrys her attack and barely mounts a defense against her second assualt. As she comes for her third strike on him he simply grabs her arms and shakes her weapons loose from her grip. After that he tosses her aside and countinues toward the black swan Inn just up ahead. ::

" I won't stand for this insult.. " Pulling her self up and charging after him.

:: Loveless steps outta the way just as she passes him and grabs her by her green hair. ::

" As if I would fear a fledging were-hunter." He lets go of her hair letting her fall face first in the dirt.

:: Kerya picks up her crossbow an fires one arrow scraping Loveless's arm. He looks back at her with pity and goes inside the Inn. Keyra goes back to collect her dagger and sword then enters the Inn. Once inside she sees Loveless sitting to the front enjoying an ale but deep in thought. Keyra approaches him and just stands infront of his table. ::

" Your still here, I told you I'm not a lycanthrope. "

" I hate you! " staring right at him.

" Look why don't you go to freeport plenty of lycans go there." Making a shooing motion with his hand.

" Really then why don't you come with me."

" No thanks.. Going to bastable village."

" Then I will be your shadow. "

:: Nikkii makes her way to Davar manor reading more names on her list.::

" Hmmm Slyfoot this name has a mark beside it could it be one she sees more frequently or.... be traveling with. "

:: At the manor the takes a horse and heads to highpass needing to return to the oasis.::

" Perhaps I should restock my hunting supplies I have gotten too far out of practice. "

[Darlena O'seth]

:: A day has passed since her near fatal encounter with her mother but she had finally made it to orggok. She removes the hood from her head as she enters the gates. The city smelt of body order and rotten flesh.
Darlena left her horse with the coachman and begin to search the city for Zugarok. Wandering though the pest ridden streets several ogres whistle at her as she walks by.

" Hey dere pritty lettle blue ting me be lonley ogre at night.. joo come keep mes company."

" I wouldn't touch filth like you keep your distance."

:: Just then She see Zug working away on some metal. ::

" Zugarok ... over here. I need your help with something."

" Hey dere Darlena joo no here to make problems?"

" No I just want my sword fixed do you think you can do it?" Handing him her mauler.

" Hmm yep mes can fix it just take me a bit..... mes gonna need sum tings from dat merchant to bond it. Mes make you list of dat stuff." scribbles the items on a piece of paper.

" Very well.." Taking the list.

" Hey Dere be another blak elf here too. Joo should meets him he never talk to anyone so me tink he might like to see another blak elf."

" Really...? What is his name."

" Kyrinn... mes teach him alot since him leave blak elf home."

" Yes well I shall after my sword is repaired."

" Okays.. hurry back then joo go see. "

:: Darlena goes off to gather the stuff Zugarok needs as he begins working on her sword.::

[Darlena O'seth]

" This place stinks I can't believe these creatures enjoy this place."

" Heers joo go dat eveyting on da list. "

:: Darlena recieves all the items Zugarok requires to fix his sword. Luckly for her she didn't have to go very far to gather it as she makes her way back to zugarok she can see him scratching his head. ::

" What is wrong Zug.. "

" He he he mesa fergit to tell ya mes need special ore from da quarry outside der city "

" sigh...... nothing gets by you.. does it... Fine then where this the quarry."

She thinks to herself.... " One day I will kill you with that very sword."
