"I'm not really heading to Kaner, but I don't know the way out of this forest. I know where Kaner lies and how to reach the bomb field from there." Vempre said, he wanted to go now.

(Was gone for last night... Went to uncles n stuff) Laura looked out the window again. "I have the same feeling... But do not worry of me. My mind is always looking for escapes... Just incase." She gave a short laugh, one to break the silence but is a pathetic attempt of a laugh. Her mind raced from what she saw before. Why is Rave gone for so long...? She remembered watching rave sneak out. She envied Rave in a way. Able to escape out of the prison of the house. How she was able to tread in the woods without care. Maybe one day she may be as free. She just noticed the long silence she put into the moment and then jumped slightly. She turned from the window and went to the door. It was nearly Mid-Day. She would go for a walk in the courtyard, The only real place she felt safe outside. It was surrounded by the building. No way to the forest. "Going for your walk?" Hamma asked already knowing her intent. Laura said nothing as she took her silken robe and set out. Her feet nearly running down the stairs and out to the courtyard. She gasped as the fresh air hit her face. THe courtyard was only opened after the Breakfast was served and the small shop they set up in the house closed. She smiled and went to the large maple in the middle of the courtyard. She sat upon its roots and listened closing her eyes and feeling the small breezes that found their way into the courtyard. She always seemed hypnotized by it. Not even knowing her surroundings as she seemed to set her mind straight. All her thoughts were put togeather.

Josha came up slowly, his head hurted and his eyes were still looking at the corpes of the Elf. He couldn't believe why the Normans were so mean against the Elves, they didn't believe in a way to stop the war without killing out one of the races. his grandma had once told him that the Elves weren't much different from them years ago, just like in the time of the Dinosaurus the humans addapted to the new dryer climate. Horse died out and the new Race of the Elves rised. Josha thought about it for a long time, they weren't much different from the Elves. He cut the rope where the Elf was hanging on and buried his body, they might see him as a fool but he didn't care. The Gift that the Unicorn had once gave him was very usefull at the moment, he took out a little bottle and opened it. He had used it once before, when his people were almost dicovered by Elves. It was a magic posion which could change people it what ever they want, like it changed Unicorn into Horses when they left the world. Josha dropped one single drup on his tongeu." I wish I was an Elf!" He said, he wanted to warn the Elves from up coming danger and maybe talk to both Normans and Elves about this chace, even it might not suceed he still was eager to try. I'm going to stop this war, I'm going to confince the Elves that what they are doing is wrong! He ran upstairs to one of the mirrows from his room and looked at himself, his skin was pale, his hair was blond, his eyes were green. It had worked. He ran back downstairs and concentrate, the Unicorn had told him that whenever he needed him he was allowed to call. But nothing came, it was worth trying. He took his bow and short swords and began to walk in the direction of Kaner City.

(I know it is sooo late and i didn't even post anything yet! Ok here is my FIRST post. Oh and remember that my character, Abigail, lives on EARTH!)
Abigail stood on a large hill, squinted her eyes and gazed upon the lush forest below. It was hard to see through the dense morning fog, but the smell was everlastingly strong. There was a gush of cold clear wind making her mind set on her purpose. She wouldn't, and couldn't, leave until that purpose was fulfilled. Taking a small sip of water from her leather bottle, she counted how many arrows she had left. Last night's hunt was a difficult one, but she had managed to have a satisfying meal. Abigail held her bow in front of her, inspecting it. There was a small scratch on the top, but other than that it was in perfect shape. She had found the bow hidden under the ground among four dead humans. One of the bodies was just a bit different. The skin was pale, the eyes narrow and focused, and the ears were pointed. She had thought nothing of it then, but now she was convinced that it had been an elf. Deep inside her she knew that there was another world that had yet to be discovered, and she was the one that had to find it. With one hand on her dagger she ran silently but swiftly into the forest depths.

Hama and Laura walked through the large gardens. She had banished the guards from patroling these parts, she hated the feeling of being watched and protected. She could handle herself. Suddenly she whirled around and flung multiple silver daggers out. There was a cry as an human was thrown against the wall, the daggers pinning him there like a butterfly to a glass frame. Hama could tell that Laura was shocked, but they were taught to conceal emotions and feelings well. Hama and Laura approached. The man's hand chenched a large sword, which he tried to swing at them. Laura swatted out of the way and it fell to the floor with a clunk. "Shouldn't we get the guards?" Laura asked. "No." Hamma grasped the man's chin and made him look at her. She looked over him. He wore multiple daggers and was thin and fit. He held a bunch of viles. "Who are you here for?" she hissed, her eyes flashing. "Who are you here to kill?" The man gasped as she held up and long dagger that sparkled in the sun. "No one. I was here minding my own buisness." A lie. "You're a hired asassin. Don't play with me. You have invaded our property, and are clearly garbed in blades and liquids adn hearbs which are probably posin. So speak, as I have every right to cut your throat out right here. Or I could do to call the guards and they'd be more than happy to use their own methods to get what they want from you." The man looked fallen, his skin ashen with fear. Probably kicking himself at having been caught and most likly to him, killed by a young elf. "I didn't come for kill anyone, but to take somebo- something." "No, you were about to say somebody. Who is it?" she demanded. "A Miss Hama Laci." he gasped as she tightened her grip on his throat. Hama stood there and looked at Laura. "What?" she said, now more in shock, but suddenly he'd freed a hand and before Laura or Hamma could act, had swallowed a handful of pills. Laura pulled him off the wall. And shook him ."Tell us, who sent you!?!? Why Hamma?"
"Death shall claim my secretsssss...." he said then fell into a fit of confulsions before falling still. Laura threw him back down with a look of disgust on her face before looking to a still shocked Hama. "Hama?" She didnt' answer. "Hama!" She shook her head. "I can't believe it... What should we do?" she asked, her eyes staring into space.

Rave put her hands on her hips. "What's going on." she asked, looking difiant. "You need to get to the Bomb Feilds? Why?"

"Just the bombfields, there's my place and... I better not tell you." Vempre stopped talking, why did he trust her so much, she looked so much like his stephsisters." That's where the attack will start!"

Rave took a step back. "You mean you're attacking the city? You can't just do that!" she cried. Vempre looked offended. "Don't you want to be free? You're a human, not an elf. We come to liberate all who live in opression under the elves..." Rave looked down. His words hurt. She was a human, a slave. Shouldn't she want a battle for her freedom? It made sense... yet she didn't mind her life. She had a bed, clothes, food and her mistress, Hama was kind enough. She'd couldn't remember what it was like to be free. An image shot into her mind of the days when she used to be free...running through silkin flowers. A beautiful woman, her mother, chased her. Chatching her she swooped Rave up in her warm arms and falling to the ground laughing... Smoke, fire, screams... Black as night. "Rave.." a hoarse cry. More screams. The ground wet with blood. her screams. Four elves approaching grabbing her, the shimmer of blades...then nothing. Rave came back to the present when Vempre touched her shoulder. "Huh?" "So, will you take me there?" Vempre asked, looking at her.
Rave 's eyes refocused and she wallowed, a shiver running down her spine. She remember the laughter turning to screams. How had she forgotten? She'd take him there, but would she return to teh city in her cloak, or dressed for battle? The question tormented her, but she turned to him and nodded. "I'll guide you to where you need to go..."

Laura opened her eyes and looked over at Hama in shock. She slowly got to her feet and looked down at the assassin. Then she looked back to Hama. "What... Happened?" (Sorry I didnt realize what you were trying to say)

Vempre smiled to her."good!" he said." But one last thing, if you hear the Norman horn look for a save place in the castle. I won't tell more about the attack, it's not save." He looked around, making sure if the coast was clear."Lets go then shall we!"

Josha felt his changed ears as he aproached Kaner City. The magic of the Unicorns had again worked! His speed got slower, he had allready ran the whole time, help from the Unicorns hadn't arrived. "Who's there!" An elves guard from the gate yelled down. "Just a simple traveller!" Josha replied he looked up and smiled. "Ahh.. a traveller!" The guard said, he looked happy back." nice weather for a walk?" Josha nodded." Can't get any better." The guard laughed." I'll let them open the gate!" He said and waved down to other elves guards, the gate opened and Josha walked in." Shal I lead you through the city?" The guard asked. Josha shook his head." I'll find my way!" And he left the gate behind him, walking to the castle. Elves nobles were all around him, if they would find out that he was a human then he wouldn't leave the city alive.

Rave walked ahead. She knew these forests by heart, and right now her heart had wings and was fluttering around in her chest. Her mind a blur she led this stranger boy through the woods. Arriving quickly at the bomb feilds she stopped. "We're here." "Thanks!" he said walking past her. "Wait!" she called. He looked at her. "Can I come with you? I mean, I'm not much help, but I know some things. I can be useful..." she said, hoping that she wasn't sounding too rude or forceful...She waited for his reply...

Vempre smiled, he looked around him, the huge gaps in the ground stared at him. He knew that the other Normans would do every thing to get their hands on new recruits but could he let them. He still wasn't sure to trust her and the Normans wouldn't eather." Sure! but you need to stay close to me, the Normans aren't that nice to women." He took her hand and walked with her through the bombfields, a little fire became clear, the fire of talking at it was called. that meant the the Normans were back and they were discusing the plan. Vempre hoped he was welcome and that the girl was too.

Rave felt her stomach tie itself in a knot. Was this a mistake? What if they didn't deem her welcome and killed her? If her mistress or any other elf found her she'd be hanged or burned for sure. Sher slave mark clearly showed on her forarm. She nervously fingered the small silver pendant of her mother's that hung on a chain around her neck. They walked through a thick patch of bramble. Then Rave heard the whispering voices of people. She tightened her grip on the necklace, knuckles white. She felt the poisons in her pocket. Well herbs that could kill or heal depending on what was mixed and melted. There was on pre-made bottle of "ink-like" liquid. Mixed into a drink, the drinker's throat would close and he'd sufficate without a sound. She knew her powers of poisions and herbs and now dreaded them. If they found what she held and what she was capable of what would they suspect? What would they do? He'd said that they weren't too fond of women. She looked at her ragged clothes and sighed. Maybe she could dump the dark liquid before anyone found it and identified it for a poison, one of her own creation she thought proudly, despite the danger it could possible put her in. They entered the large tent. The men around a table all looked up. She put her hands behind her back to keep from fiddling with her necklace and waited for Vampre to say something.

Laura looked up at Hama (I changed my post above). "What was he here for?" She asked already knowing the answer. She took a step backwards shocked that a human could so easily get into the Courtyard.

"I think he said he came for....me." Hama said, staring at the now ragged form at her feet. She picked up a vile. Peering at it, she dropped a little on her finger tip. "It's magic. He used magic, I don't know what kind, to some how get past the guards. There could be more. We have to figure out how he did it. I suspect unicorns, but why would they help a wrech like this?" She kicked the dead human. Hama came back to her self. She gave a shrill whistle and a guard came to her side. "Yes Miss Hama?" Then he spotted the broken figure behind her. "Oh. What's this?" he said shocked and mystified. "It doesn't matter. Listen. Clear away this body. Bring him to the Dark Room. Make sure everything is examined. He got past the guards in some sort of disguise. There could be more. Tell the Head Guard to lock the city. No one is to leave or enter the city. Understand? I want to know how this mongrel was able to get inside our fortified city. There must be some sort of plot. Tell the Mages to create some sort of, well something to figure out what is going on. report back to me and Laura asap." she snapped. The man bowed and ran off. Soon a loud tolling of bells could be heard. Shouts and cried all across the city. hama turned to Laura. "Why didnt' you say anything about him wanting you?" Laura asked. "Lets keep it between us until need be. I'm not sure what's going on, but we need to be ready, and I want to keep anything persoal out of other's mouthes unless necessary. I have a bad feeling..."

Vempre bowed to the Norman sitting on the head of the table. "Vempre!" The Norman said, he looked suprised." Damn boy, Where were you? We couldn't find you or your body, thought that you were taking by the Elves or ran into one of the explotions!" Other Normans laughed. "No, my lord. I just wandered off into the forest, much less noisier out there." Vempre replied. "Ah.. smart chose boy! So who is the girl there?" The Norman lord asked. "This is..." Vempre wanted to aswer but the Norman lord stopped him. "She can tell us herself! Who are you girl?" the lord stood up and walked towards Vempre and Rave, repeating his question.

Rave's jaw locked in fear for a moment, but she quickly swallowed it. She couldn't show fear to these people. If they deemed her weak, they'd surley kill her or something. "Rave...Rave Cutt. I'm a slave in the City. I work under Mistress Hama Laci." she replied. "I was gathering herbs in the wood when I met up with Vempre." She thought it was a good enough answer and waited for something to happen.

Hama sprinted to her chamber, her cloak and dress fluttering out behind her like wings. Laura was close behind. "Quick. I need to gather some things. Be prepared to run!" "Why?" Laura asked. Hama didn't repond, but took a sack and was stuffing items from her room into it. "Laura, go to your chamber and grab what you need. Only the echencials and large personal items. Be quick. I'll explain later..."
