~Finding Her Way~

[fuu]

Luthien was searching the forest. Being new to the area she was quite interested it the woods.They were mysterious and frightening to her but she wanted to know what they were like inside The wood was thick and only small streams of light that passed through the dense trees.

She was easily frighted and held her sword, low to the ground but tightly. As she walked she would hear things moving around but she figured it was just noises animal made. But to be safe she kept her guard up. After a while of what seemed to be just walking in circles she grew even more nervous.

Dressed in her light holy armor and hair in pigtails she walked silently. Looking in every direction could. She stooped and said to herself:

"Hah! I am just being paranoid no one is going to attack me!" Luthien took a deep breath and sat down on a mossy log thinking of the next direction she should take.

[Marim Mazmo]

Marim was wandering through the forest. But you couldn't quite call it wandering as the forest was where Marim has lived for many years. He knew how to wander about in the forest as he liked and so did his brother and sister.

Although the forest was dark, Marim's eyes were well adjusted to it. All his five senses were more sharper while he was in the forest. He was walking quickly into the forest and he saw someone he didn't know in the forest too.

Marim decided to get a closer look. He shouted,"Melamado!" and green sparks flew out of his hands to his feets. He leaped out into the trees with no problems then after going threw a few trees, he nimbly used the last one to get down to his feet and was behind the girl and said,"Hello. I'm Marim Mazmo of the Morytanians and who are you?" He stood there waiting for a reply.

[fuu]

"Hello." came a mysterious voice and 'hello' is all she heard before she let out a blood curtling scream. SHe tripped over her own foot landing face flat on the ground. She reached for her instinctivly. Sitting on the ground she held her sword in the air, not actully point in the direction of the boy.


"*huff, huff, huff* Um, whose there?" she said in a somewhat pitiful voice.

[Saphira Siparti of Elvinoire]

Saphira stifiled a giggle, leaning against a tree trunk in hte higher canopies. Her legs were spread, her center of gravity low as she balanced on a tree branch, whichlight swriling around her ear. SHe had recently found out how to detach the blue light and make it twirl everywhere, but not to far from her person, or it would be out in a flash.

[raven]

Raven walked along, the shadows followed her like a fog, clinging to her and swaying in the wind but never parting from her snow white flesh. She licked her lips, she hated the sun and was glad there were trees about.

[Trixice]

Another figure stood not far off the growing group, her back against the trunk of a tree as her legs sat bent casually along a branch. Glancing down, Trixice noticed a young lady walk underneath the tree she was sitting in, the shadows swirling around her like a cloak. A natural and somewhat admiring smirk slipped along her lips and she glanced the other way now.

Her copper-gold eye pierced the darkness as she stared from under the brim of her ragged hat, squinting against the darkness to try and pin-point what exactly was catching a shine, like metal, in the distance. Frowning, she held her gloved hand against the skull on her necklace and flipped over one side of the branch, landing on the earth quietly near the young lady who seemed to have a habit of licking her lips.

Trixice tipped her hat in a silent greeting, then moved on, heading toward the shining object with several layers of coat and cloak trailing on the breeze behind her.

[Marim Mazmo]

Marim looked at the girl who had fallen down. Smiling to himself he said,"I am Marim Mazmo of the Morytanians....and you look like you could use a hand!" Marim offered his hand to help her up. But then he was suddenly sensing something in the forest.

His ears were now listening for any sound. He felt there were other people in the forest. Many others.... He listened carefully. Having lived in the forest for a long time he had very sharp senses. More people in the forest was not good. In case they got lost, it would not be good.....however talented they might be.

[Trixice]

Trixice paused in her step, studying the young man as best she could from the distance she was at. She was very skilled at many things, of course, but nothing meant she could see through pitch darkness, whatever the case. Lowering her hat even further, and this time keeping a hold on the brim, she moved forward into the area the young man stood, and a young girl lay fallen.

The woman spotted the sword and cracked a small whisp of air from between her lips; a chuckle. "So that's what had my attention." She whispered to them, remaining quiet as not to draw attention from some of the far more dangerous creatures in these woods. "You'd do best to sheath that darlin'." She raised her hat an inch and winked a copper-gold eye at the girl.

"You never know what creatures might adore shiney objects." Like me. She said those two words in her mind, keeping them well hidden from anyone's ears. The mysterious spark in her eye hinted a hidden agenda, but with a swift change in direction on her heels and a fwoosh of her apparel, she was headed back where she came from; that trademark smirk still settled on her intricately tattooed features.

[fuu]

Soon Luthien settled down from the shock and the boy was giving her a hand. She took his hand and pulled herself up. Still holding her sword she looked around to see a mysterious person watching them. But she knew there were others in the area, she was not deaf to her senses.

She took a steep forward as the woman mentioned her sword. Luthien was not easily intimidated. But she sheathed her sword and stood firm as the woman began to walk away. She was quite intrigued in the woman though she did not show it.

[Marim Mazmo]

Marim watched as the girl walked away. Another strange person that he had met. This world was growing stranger and stranger. He asked the girl politely,"So what's your name and what are you doing in the forest?"

[fuu]

She looked back toward the boy. Still slightly confused she answered him.

"Um, Luthien Markos Galathil, i know the whole man-name tends to throw people off."


She surveyed the black nothingness around her.
"Well, i was just checkin out the area really" she said distantly.

[Marim Mazmo]

Marim listed as the girl said her name. Then he said,"Well don't try wandering around here many times. it isn't quite a safe place at all."

[Saphira Siparti of Elvinoire]

Good. They had not noticed her as yet. She could be quite...skilled if she wanted. Afterall, she was elvin. But she decided to interrupt their warm happy meeting by jumping straight down. All 5 meters. And she stopped, in midair, vertically, right above their heads, with around 2 inches to spare. SHe grinned mischievously. She loved flying.

[Trixice]

Trixice was well on her way out before she heard a semi-indefinable flap of material and couldn't help but swallow back the sudden knowledge that someone, or something was rounding on the young boy and girl she had just seen, and fast. With a bend of her knees she unsheathed a dangerously sharp blade from her boot and spun on her way up to stand, grasping the hilt tightly as she pointed it toward the falling figure.

Her black hair fanned by her cheeks at the gravity of the spin, coming to settle straight against her skin as her metallic eye fixed the flying woman with a concentrated aim. Almost as quick as the woman had poised herself for an attack, she flicked the dagger back into the long sleeve of her cloak and straightened her back, her gaze relaxing immediately.

An millimeter of a smirk quirked at her lips as she took in the scene, before her free hand bent it's fingers testingly and she stepped toward the group of (now)three. Letting a brief laugh escape her, she smirked openly. "Thought we had some unwanted company for a moment there." She explained almost awkwardly, shifting her boots on the earth as if she was about to take her leave again.

If one had ever looked hard into the eyes of a frightened horse, they would see that this woman too - although incredibly artful at hiding it - had 'spooked' in that fraction of a moment.

[Saphira Siparti of Elvinoire]

Saphira laughed. It was a spine chilling sound.
"Surprise." she said maliciously.
