Thread: Under the shadow of the ` â® Ñ â Î¹ Ñ Ñ â®

Hearing the conversation that the Knights were having in the background actually made Arioch feel a little bad. Upon first meeting them all, the High Elf had gone off on them. After branding them all cowards, she cursed their names and cast upon them each ill wishes. She, like most of her people, had lost faith in the knights after they all seemingly disappeared that fateful night the Queen of Light was taken from this world. The King of Darkness was free to bestow upon the world his own twisted fantasies, and he warped the very nature of the planet itself so that his legion of darkness could creep out and cover everything. The High Elves were a people who basked in light, and in a way, depended upon it's radiance for a number of reasons. That was a loss that was hard for herself and her people to deal with, partially because the darkness was starting to make it difficult for them to communicate with the planet. However, the loss of the Queen of Light was a greater blow. Not just to the Elves, not just to the people of the world, but to the Knights that were closest to her. To them, she seemed to be so much more than just a mere Queen. What exactly she was to them there was no way of Arioch of knowing, but she knew that the loss was something that effected them all in more deep and profound ways than she could know. Each seemed to be handling the loss differently - Valen seemed to be taking things the hardest of them all, noticeably down and seemingly depressed Lynnira seemed to be more angry than anything, more focused on striking down the traitor than mourning at this point Z seemed to be the one handling things the best, as he seemed to be nothing more than smiles and a sickening optimism since the moment she first laid eyes on him. Though they proved to be annoying, the knights were now her companions. She would have to learn how to get along with them and trust them at the very least. Such things were going to take time though, and they had only just met one another recently. As things stood now, she didn't trust any of these people, and would have rather left her back to a rabbit than them. There was a good chance things would remain that way until they proved themselves to be worthy of her trust otherwise. Valen had been right about one thing - if Z was going to be so optimistic he could be that way for all of them since it was clear that none of the others were. Well. . .it was hard to get a read on Everan as the man had been doing nothing but complaining about being in the sunlight all this time. They were now losing light though, and every footstep they took brought them closer and closer to the their destination. At the rate they were now moving, they would be there soon enough. Unless there were some reason that they needed to be moving any faster than they already were moving, she didn't see any point in rushing anymore than they already were. The town would be there in the next five minutes just as it would in the next twenty or thirty minutes. Unless some unforeseen catastrophe befell the town before they got there. It's not much further now, we shall be there soon, Arioch said, more to Valen than anyone else.listulistu
