Thread: Loving the Enemy. (Fedalas and Rosita Red)

It didn't take Fedalas too long to reach the run down house in which they took shelter. He didn't need to venture far into the house to realize she had left. Though rain was still drizzling down he could see fresh foot prints leading to the door. Letting out a long drawn sigh he paused for a moment to think. Horrible things roamed the lands, he knew that but he knew of more than most. Seddrick, an old friend of Fedalas who joined the rangers to guard the lands against the beasts of the night. Seddrick still roamed the lands and was considered to be one of the best. Fedalas knew the only way to find and protect the Elf woman from what he knows and she will hopefully avoid. With haste he made it for his horse, no longer being subtle he did not care for detection he rode off into the night searching for the dead bodies of the rangers he had taken the horse from. Within a few short moments he had founds the stinking bodies and reached for the horn hanging off the mangled corpse. Fedalas took another few seconds to ponder as he planned his next move. Blowing the horn would alert more than just his old friend Seddrick, it'll alert all the ears within reach of his horn. As horrible as it may seem he decapitated the corpse and flung it's head into the water as the raging current threw it downstream. He knew the evil that lurked in the dark would draw to the blood before the horn. He then threw a few fresh leafs on the small fire as it soldiered on through the rain. Thick plumes of black smoke began to puff from the fire. Fedalas had hoped that the rangers would rather inspect a fire near one of their outposts before a blast of the horn. Wasting no time he sped off into the darkness, the image of her eyes had been burned into his memory. Galloping through the soggy soil he blew at the horn only to be met with muffled sounds as the water splurged out of the end of the horn. Like a blur he sped south as he tried once more. A deep inhale followed by a screeching sound of the horn, it wouldn't be long before someone revealed themselves as he halted the horse in the road. Traveling at such speed the horse halted, kicking up clumps off dirt as it raised to it's back legs. The horn stirred something deep within the terror of the night. Fedalas! You crazy bastard! yelled a voice, a man with a bow came running from a small track along the road. It is good to lay eyes once more old friend Said Fedalas, sounding rather delighted. Here! he extended a hand to the man who was revealed beneath his cloak to be his friend Seddrick. With a hard jerk the two managed to get Seddrick onto the saddle and slowly set off into the night. To what do I owe this unexpected summon?..old friend Muttered Seddrick from behind. Fedalas's gaze had been fixed up ahead as they wondered into a densely vegetated area with old branched weaved together and old webs hanging from the trees. I'm looking for someone, sh- Fedalas bit his lip and cursed under his breath. A she aye?! said Seddrick as he proceeded to probe Fedalas Found yourself a princess? someone's got to love you he laughed quietly and went silent as to allow Fedalas to continue. I'm looking for a blood elf woman, don't ask. She was last seen at Raven Hill not twenty minutes ago. She's on foot, swift but not even the most skilled hunter can avoid disorientation in these unknown lands..the trees seem to move with time.. Fedalas's voice grew darker and quieter with every word. Seddrick, still on horse back whispered You heard of what lurks..behind the veil? inquired Seddrick. Yes..no one else seems to though growled Fedalas as his grasp tightened on the reigns. Those things..They're like worgen but..stronger Whispered Fedalas. Some say an one of those living dead alchemist had concocted some sort of a virus that infects these werewolf creatures, it makes them immune to most magics, arrows simply get absorbed into them...these things cannot be hunted Fedalas...our time in this forsaken place is drawing to an end. Explained Seddrick. I'm heading south, once I've found this woman Said Fedalas as he looked back, halting the horse. I need your help friend. Seddrick nodded and knew that he was going to ask There are men still loyal to you Fedalas..I'll be using them to cut off the crossings to the Cape, they will dispose of what alliance guards may roam near there..she won't pass them, I promise Seddrick slipped out of the saddle and into the night like a ghost as he set to blocking routes out. Fedalas pulled the horse to the right and wondered towards the border along the mountains.
