Shaya fan through the trees trying to find the right trail. Why was she lost? She had thought she hadnt wandered off to far.

Just then, an arrow wizzed past.

"Hay there, what are you doing, I almost shot you!" Jamie rushes up to Shaya and says "sorry about I thought I was alone out here".

"Its ok," Shaya said, "I m guessing I m lost" she said and looked at the person.

"thats good 'cause i'm never lost!", jamie said cheerily. "i'm Jamie, whats your name?"

"I m Shaya,"She replyed, "So do you have any Idea were I am?"

"no, where are we"?

"Hmm." Shaya raised her hand, "East sea come!" Water rushed towards her. "Stop! The water stoped suspended in mid air. "That way is east!" She said pointing the direction the water came from. "So my home is that way," she said pointing to the west. "So we are in the east woods close to the Melk swamps."

((I m just saying random words for places so yeah.)

oh well im tired from practicing all day, do you have any food you could, umm, loan me?. i mean i'll pay you back of course, once i winn that archery compition..."

"Oh yeah." Shya reached for her pack and brought out some bread and handed Jamie some bread.

"Er, bread, thanks, umm, what was that you just did?" Jamie asked in a kind of studder.

"Hmm?" Shaya looked at Jamie, "Oh that," With a laugh Shaya explaind, "I m a water controler I can call water to me or pull it up from a water sourse, trees plants the ground. But only up to certain distances."

Xapneir slowly emerged from the trees. He spoke in a quiet, raspy voice to Shaya, "I haven't met anybody who could do that before. I knew someone once, in the city of Fadoon, who had a book describing why some creatures can do that." Turning to both of them, he asks, "Where are you two headed on this foggy day?"

She'd intended to avoid the clearing - the aphrodisiacs and hallucinogens she was here to collect were deeper into the woods - but she recognized Xapneir's voice - he was a sometime client, of a sort.

"Hold-up?" she murmured to herself, slipping behind the blackened bole of an oak, the better to observe the scene. "Unusual setting for it. And magic involved. Hmm."

"Interesting," Shaya said, "I was out enjoying life when I got lost. I believe Jamie was hunting," Shaya had no intention of saying what she had really been doing.

"And what were you hunting? Squirrels, mice, rabbits or snakes? Or something slightly... more difficult?" Xapneir had heard rumours of strange creatures hiding in this forest before, and wondered if there was any more to the stories.

"no i was just practicing with my bow, i'm due for an archery compition in a few weeks. if you want some squirrles or snakes i guess i could wrestle up a few." Jamie said. "I really should be goi..."

Just then something big and ugly stumbled through the fog and into the clearing, he, IT, saw the group and raised it's club and charged!

Xapneir stepped out of the direct path of the animal's club, dragging Jamie with him. He then proceeded to grab his bow. One problem. His quiver was empty.

Shaya dogged and dived at the ground, she placed her hands on the ground and drew water up and aimed it at the monster thing.

the thunder of hoofbeats announced a man in to the clearing, a suit of plate armor being the first thing noticed about him. on a closer look, however, you see that he is tall by human standards, standing over six feet, and wore his dark hair to his shoulders."stand down, beast!"he screamed, unsheathing a broadsword, spinning it with a flourish and charged foreward. his warhorse wore plate armor, so when the thing raised a club for a clumsy strike, it skidded off the horses armor. with a sweeping motion, and one well placed blow, the beast's head was sliced neatly off.

wiping the blood off of his sword, the man adressed the gathering of people in the clearing."greetings" he said in a deep, clear voice."my name is Inglades, kningt of solamnia." "you may have heard of it, it's a kingdom to the north. i was sent to the south on a mission however." he said."but who might i have the great honor of adressing?"

Shaya looked carefully at Ingledes, "I am Shaya of the Wistera Elves, this is Jamie and Xapneir."

"I admire your sword-work, sir. In my years walking the soil of this land, I've never seen anybody so brutally gallant. What, pray tell, would that mission of yours be?"

Xapneir knew never to trust anybody, to always ask for information, but never give any. This character did not seem familiar, but was certainly one worth his time investigating.

Erica ran thtrough the woods laughing as she ran.
She stopped. She could smell burning. She ran towards the smell. She stopped in disbelief. The tree's were burning. She let out a loud cry. And fell. The hurt that emanated off the trees hurt her too. She screamed in pain.

"i'm sorry sir, as yet i am not at liberty to discuss this mission." he said, sheathing his sword and dismounting."but i am honored to meed you, shaya, jamie, and xapnier." with a bow. "what buisness brings you here?"

Erica stumbled to her feet she had to find help. All the slashes in the trees had started forming on her skin. She could feel the blood running down her body. "Someone, Help!!!" She yelled loudly.

"this can wait" Inglades yelled, already dashing off through the trees. drawing his sword he called out"hello?" running ever closer "who calls for aid?" he entered the clearing, his gaze drawn to the elf. "who are you?"

Erica barely saw the figure approaching. Her whole body was coverd in lood now. "erica" Se mumured and fell to the ground.

"name of paladine..." murmured inglades, taking a field kit from his pack and taking out a bandage.
he took a clean cloth and did what he could to wipe the blood from erica before bandaging her wounds.

Pine had been watching everything with glee, when the giant monster had come, she had considered helping, but figured she would rather watch.
Finally though, as the human ran past her to a distant yell. She stepped out of the woods quietly to great the four people still there. "Hello." She said. "What business brings you out to these splendid woods?"

Xapneir whirled around to see Pine. "Who might you be, and, in the name of all that is, why are there so many people gathered in this frequently deserted patch of forest? I am Xapneir, and this is Jamie, and this is Shaya."

Pine bowed her heard slightly acknowledging everyone. "That is a question I would want answered too" she said, trying to keep menace out of her voice, she lived in these woods and thought of them as her own.

Shaya carefully eyed Pine. "Well in these times not everyone is willing to be so open.

inglades walked slowly into the clearing, carrying erica in his arms. he laid her down on the ground as gently as he could." who might this be?" he gestured at pine. "it would seem all travelers in the whole forest have crossed paths here..."

"She hasnt told us her name," Shaya said, "Whos that?" She questiond pointing to the unconsous girl.

"she said her name was erica. I found her in a clearing, covered in cuts. i did what i could to treat them."

Tamisin fluttered her wings, high above the trees. What a beautiful day she thought. She decided to land; she was getting tired. She landed in a clearing, and sat gratefully on the earth. Just then, she heard voices. Huh she thought, and went to go check it out.

"Lets see,"Shaya muttered. She raised her hand and curled her fingers to a fist water slowly made its way to her.

Cupping the water, Shaya washed the wounds and rebandaged them. Then she led a steady stream into the girls open mouth.

"there is something above us." whispered inglades.he quietly drew his sword and stalked over to a tree for as much cover as he could gain. "who goes there?"

"Uh, just me?" said Tamisin, and landed on the ground.

Shaya stood slowly gysers of water rising were her hands came up.

Tamisin backed away. "Woah, watch the water. It's not good for my wings."

"Who are you?" Shaya questind net relaxing the water.

"Half fairy, half human. The name's Tamisin. Careful with the water, please." Tamisin fingered her silky wings.

"No! I dont want to be carefull with my water." Shaya said frowning. "What are you doing here?" She felt a jolt, any of these beings could be enlisted with, /them/.

"Flying, exploring," Tamisin shrugged. "You?"

Lets have some fun, Shaya thought. "Hiding. Mainly lost, but thats good for me." A big puddle was forming so Shaya slowly relaxed the water and pushed it back under the earth.

((hi))

"Ha ha. Anyway, what's your name?" Tamisin watched in relief as the water got soaked into the earth again.

Pine looked around as yet another creature entered the forest she considered her own. There seemed no way she would get answers. So she might as well get to know these creatures. "I'm Pine" She said, more to the group in general then any one person.
