Thread: Stranger things.....(Razgriz x Lady Bloody Ava)

Lucius had had enough of this Elf's vile tongue his hand grasped the handle of his dagger and drew it swiftly, though with less style than the Elf and more sheer force, ready to fight as well. Thrice damned forest dweller! You dare call us savages, when your kind had laid waste to our towns in order to protect your damned forests! It is you that does not think, that upsets the natural order of the world! The strong should not cater to the weak! He readied himself, in case Degon made the first move. I would say the same of you, Elf. Your kind just doesn't know the meaning of cessation, do they? Of course, it seemed that both had become fairly hot-headed, as was to be expected. Both were equally unfit for the job of negotiating peace despite the sharpness of their tongues and cleverness of the mind, their seething hatreds for one another served to impede any degree of measurable progress. Little did anyone foresee what would happen next......... Four days later.... Over the next four days, King Richard was growing more and more concerned by the fourth day, King Richard was a mess. Lucius should have returned with news yesterday at the latest. It wasn't like the Royal Emissary to be gone for so long like this the man knew how important this decision was, and knew the consequences well enough to not leave the King waiting. So what could possibly be Lucius' otherwise speedy return to the King to deliver the fate of the negotiations? Richard had several ideas floating around in his head, most of which revolved around Elven assassins slaying his emissary and somehow turning it on the humans. So he did what he thought was best He called in several of his knights to form them into a scouting party and investigate why Lucius hadn't returned to Evugid yet. I would suggest checking the old bridge that was built over Whiterun Creek that was where the meeting was supposed to take place with the Elven emissary. If there's any place to start looking, that would be it. I don't need to remind you of just how dangerous it is over there that bridge is built so that exactly half lies on either side's territory. You'll be fairly close to the Elves, so watch yourselves. Go with God, and do not return until you have found Lucius. A collective, Yes, Your Highness! was heard and the Knights left with the wind beneath their feet to get to their horses and ride out, leaving the stress-filled King to wait some more. It would take almost half a day to ride to the Whiterun Creek bridge however, when they got there, they found two bodies lying on the ground. The Knights dismounted their horses, their armor shining in the midday sun as they approached the scene. Red pools laying semi-moist on the wood of the bridge, both faces pale from the touch of Death himself. Lord have mercy, is that.... one knight said, another adding, That's Lucius. Look, the Royal Seal is on his armor. The other has to be the Elven Emissary, or an impostor that Lucius managed to kill However, what was really interesting was how the bodies were situated each body lay on its side, the head of one laying closest to the feet of the other. Each had a hand firmly wrapped around the hilt of the dagger buried in the other's chest, their respective knuckles blanched from the force of the grip. Those damn Elves......Lucius was a good friend of mine! I'll make those bastards pay! the scout team leader said, his helmet hiding the expression of unbridled rage hidden beneath.
