The City of Elimirth
#41Xavier sighed.
"No, the elves hold their lines courageously, but their lines are thinning and soon the dwarves will rush and surge like water out of a dam." -
The City of Elimirth
#42"Damn Dwarves...So why are the two sides fighting anyway? Yes, elves and dwarves have always had there "internal" affairs, but what sparked this?" -
The City of Elimirth
#43He shrugged.
"Dwarf raids on Elven Territory, in the last one they murdered a duke of the royal family." -
The City of Elimirth
#44"Royalty...who needs them anyway."
He shrugged it of and grabbed a stick while he poked the fire.
"None of my business. I'm just here to kill." -
The City of Elimirth
#45"As we all are here for really, not the money, for we are in our prime in battle, like a opiate." -
The City of Elimirth
#46"When you going to sleep? I'll keep watch like always..." -
The City of Elimirth
#47Xavier shook his head.
"I have no need for sleep like you other beings do." -
The City of Elimirth
#48He narrowed his eyes which were pointed at the fire
"What are you?" -
The City of Elimirth
#49"I am an elemental by nature, but am one of the many Guardians of the Planes, though my creaters put one distintive flaw in me, emotions. I strayed from the plane I was guarding and into this world some 200 years ago." -
The City of Elimirth
#50"An elemental?"
Looks him and down.
"You don't look like one that would not be from this plane, you a shifter also?" -
The City of Elimirth
#51He shrugged.
"I told I was an elemental to give a thought of what I am like, not what I am. No, I cannot shape shift." -
The City of Elimirth
#52He shrugged it off and stared at the fire.
"What about Azriel? He going to sleep? Or no?" -
The City of Elimirth
#53Xavier looked over at Azriel.
"Azriel is sleeping, but he doesn't show it." -
The City of Elimirth
#54"Oh, creative..."
He looked at Xavier then to the fire and dropped his stick in it. He then sttod up and sat near a tree where he folded his arms across his chest and proped his head back and slept. -
The City of Elimirth
#55Xavier stayed awake thinking like he had always done.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dawn broke over the camp, a light from the east and Xavier stirred everyone awake, and then they were out again towards north, like always -
The City of Elimirth
#56He woke early and followed staying behind and looking left and right every now and then.
"Traveling...worst part of a job" -
The City of Elimirth
#57Skene shrugged.
"But it gets you to where you need to go."
He nodded and smiled at Trakien.
Azriel smirked as he shook his head.
"I would rather just be there." -
The City of Elimirth
#58"There are no magic wielders in these parts that could teleport us there? Elves are attuned to magic...surely one of them must be able to get us there..." -
The City of Elimirth
#59Sentinel was a wood elf.
"My magic isn't that powerful."
Xavier smiled slightly.
"Why didn't you guys say so."
He waved his hand and everyone's vision became a blur and suddenly they were in a camp, filled with battle hardened elves -
The City of Elimirth
#60He narrowed his eyes at him.
"You mean you could have done that the whole time...And you didn't?!"
His voice leaped and gave off a ferel growl.
"And don't even say because we didn't ask, you could have saved alot of time" -
The City of Elimirth
#61Xavier shrugged.
"You didn't ask, so stop complaining, we're here."
Azriel sighed.
"Hopeless."
Sentinel looked at all them.
"Let's go to the officer tent." -
The City of Elimirth
#62All he could think about was killing at this point.
"Lets hurry" -
The City of Elimirth
#63Skene laughed.
"Anxious?"
They walked to the officer tent and were paid a hefty price of 5,000 gold coins, by a rail thin colonel. They were to do some recon into enemy territory and if the enemy saw them, they were to engage. -
The City of Elimirth
#64"Can we hurry it up?"
He scurried out of the tent and glided in front of them all now leading the way for the scouting. -
The City of Elimirth
#65They let him, not minding much.
Xavier unsheathed his sword.
Azriel pulled out two long daggers.
Sentinel pulled out his longbow
Skene unsheathed his sword as well -
The City of Elimirth
#66Nothing was yet visible as he made his way onwards toward the position they were supposed to take.
"Kill..." -
The City of Elimirth
#67Azriel muttered.
"Indeed." -
The City of Elimirth
#68He couched down near a tree and looked at the sorounding so far.
"Anything yet?" -
The City of Elimirth
#69Xavier shook his head.
"Nothing."
They all got positions behind trees looking forward -
The City of Elimirth
#70He would rain all hell on the upcoming force. If there was one.
"Clear. Where to now?" -
The City of Elimirth
#71"Forward."
One of them said and they started forward again -
The City of Elimirth
#72Still in that low crouching posisiton he slid forward slowly and kept low to the ground. he got into a prone position and crawled to the side.
"Anything?" -
The City of Elimirth
#73Azriel motioned forward. 20 dwarfs were heading towards them -
The City of Elimirth
#74He reached into his cloak and hissing of sword agianst scabbard was heard. He looked back at the other and waited for there go. -
The City of Elimirth
#75Before they even knew what was happening, Xavier and them had attacked. Xavier killed five, Sentinel, 7, Skene, 2, and Azriel 1 -
The City of Elimirth
#76He rolled and stood quickly he went for the five on the left. Running he dodged one axe and chopped theat one behind the leg. The other four were stil disoriented as a blade the slashed throught the throat of another. He dodge out of the way of another weapon but flipping back and planting both feet firmly on the breat plate and bouncing back sending the dwarf crashing with another. And him fly toward the last one which fell back just as Trakien sword implanted it self in his head and he pulled it out. One wounded two down. He walked over the two still alive and slit there throat with a dagger he had drawn. That left the wounded one but he wasn't going anywhere. -
The City of Elimirth
#77Xavier walked over to the wounded one and waved his hand, the dwarf went flying through the air and hit a tree where there was a large carck as his skull was busted open. -
The City of Elimirth
#78"You do understand you just killed a POW..." -
The City of Elimirth
#79Xavier shrugged.
"We're a mercenary group, they said no prisoners as well."
Sentinel nodded.
"Our job is to do some scouting and if enemy appear we kill them." -
The City of Elimirth
#80"We could have gotten information out of him before we killed him..."
