*Alexi sat upon a rail of the wooden bridge that is along the pass between
Hartland and Tamarang. It is clear from the postion of the moon that midnight
is near, for some reason Alexi could not sleep this night, her dreams
have been troubled. Alexi is about to get down from the rail when she
notices a reflection in the water of a dark figure approaching from behind,
she is quick to react bringing a dagger out from her boot towards the
figures cowled head, alas that is no use the figure grabs her arm as if
she had not moved it. *
Figure: 'Be still young one. ' the figure is a man there is no doubt of that from his voice, also his red eyes and the colour of his hands can not lie he is a drow or better known as a dark-elf. 'I am not here to battle with you Alexi' Alexi: 'How.... How do you know my name... Who are you' her voice hisses with rage, few are able to sneak up on this dark-elf thief and she does not like those who do. Figure: 'Give me but a moment and I will explain all. I am Xypher Darkfyre, lord of Infernal. Have you heard of me? ' Alexi: 'I have yes... What do you want with me and how do you know my name' Xypher: 'I know your name because I gave it to you, you are my daughter. ' before Xypher can even finish his sentence he can see in Alexi's eyes that she does not believe a word of this, but Xypher is prepared for her reaction. 'I can prove it. Running down you spine is a long burn, that look like flames... All darkfyre bear them. ' Alexi: 'This is alot to accept... I have never shown that burn to anyone, what happened to you who raised me and why do you come now? ' Xypher: 'I have alot to explain Alexi, but for now you are to come with me, you bare the mark. Your home is with us now, let me explain everything in a safer place, I do not like to travel these roads and and I like to stand on them for long periods of time even less. ' *Alexi jumps down from the rail and walks beside her father, she has much to consider, but for the moment she will go with her instincts and follow Xypher. The pair walk into the shadows and for an instant the cold night air is quite warm.* |
