Skjorn saw the elf appear and thought of attacking her, but suddenly the ground in front of him erupted send earth through the air, from the pit crawled an unspeakable horror…

Never has anyone in Elaria seen such a terrible sight. Skjorn readied his axes and yelled at the behemoth as he charged it. He dodged a swipe of the tail but the beast spun around and pinned Skjorn to the ground, fiercely showing its mangled maw dripping with ooze, he saw a light building in the dragon's throat, it could produce flames! Skjorn tried to pry himself free but his death seemed imminent, he shouted defiantly at the beast his face red with anger…

 
Lea sees Nagia swiftly stand at the sound of battle that is insewing so she quickly stands on her bare feet since she doesn't have shoes and grabs her bow and slings her arrow holster on her back running at extroidernary speeds to get a glimpse of the battle and see if help is needed. Lea is suddenly on Nagias back as they speed towards where the undead are at as she can soon smell them not far off"I wonder whats going on Nagia i smell the foul stench of the undead"Lea says quietly"me to me to Lea"Nagia replies.
 
Skudi stopped to explain.


"We are men of the north, Elves do not live in our kingdom for we have feuded since the Age of Mana, now they are mortal like Men but still they hate us! Not all Elves are like this but most hate men of Odeklundr and the same goes to them from us. We still trade but only through Ebonhold do we buy wares from the Deep South." Skudi said with pride. He continued on showing her the beauty and craftsmanship of his city.
 
The female released her bow and ran, her eyes narrowed as she held out her hand. "I call upon you , the gate of lizerth. Bear the fruit that I have given you to aid me in my battle. COME FORTH CORO , THE LION OF FATHER'S GARE." Coro the black lion listened to her words. Instantly dragged away from battle , he ran to her. His teeth growing as so did his body. "WHAT IS YOUR DESIRE" His tail wrapped around the beast throat to draw his attention away from his hostage. "PRY HIM AWAY " The lion roared to her command and tugged on the beast neck. the female ran forward , slicing down her foes as she went. "CORO"


Coro understood clearly, as h tugged on the beast more. She ran toward the man and put her hand on the mans face. "Are you ok , I will try my best to free you." she dodged the beast tail as she stabbed its hand with her knife. " please hold on"
 
Skudi sighed.


"They say that the Elves shunned us when they were immortal and deemed us unfit to learn the ways of higher beings, but that was hundreds of years ago… I honestly just don't know anymore…" Skudi said sadly. He served Odeklundr selflessly but wanted peace between the kingdoms so peace could reign throughout the land. He then looked at Ausinoe solemnly.


"And then there are Orcs…" Skudi said as they passed through a gatehouse and into Warrior's Hollow. Men and women in iron and leather armor trained and sparred in a courtyard only to stop and view the foreigner with the young prince. 
(Elves, men, orcs, and Gunnarulfr don't posses magic, I will let it go this time but no more. Sorry TrailerParkPanda)
 
" I have seen these 'orcs'" Ausinoe replied. "When Skjorn sheltered me in the outpost, they and their worgs attacked us..." There was something... off about them. Something about the orcs set Ausinoe off, but she had little idea of what. Her education in magic had only applied to the plague of Shushannu and the Dark god himself. Even if the magic within these orcs was dark, it was diffrent, forgien.
 
(oh ok) 
Lea soon reaches where they are to find a man under the hand of a giant undead dragon and she hops off Nagia" Nagia go help them i will help ward off the undead" Nagia nods and rushs towards the beast to help the elf, Man, and lion. Lea readys her bow with 4 Arrows and then she lets them fly and hit the undead.
 
(Its ok, magic will be brought back later in the plot!)


Skudi grew an angered face as he thought of the Orcs.


"In the north they march and bang their drums, trying to destroy what is left of man and elf, in the south they stalk and ambush, slowly trying to survive and drain Al'Sadirhimina of their goods. Durtak the dark wizard of old made them by mixing elvish and man into one, he used them to wage war on the old kingdom before he was killed by an assassin. Now they wander the lands in search of us, trying to fulfill their dark masters goal… to destroy the kingdoms of Elaria." Skudi said with anger.
 
"So they exist only to destroy you.... Skjorn told me of this, but I had to hear it from others. When I met him I wasn't sure if it was hallucinating from poison fruit..." Ausinoe felt a pang of guilt for not joining Cypherion and Skjorn earlier, another blow to her self value. She reached into her pocket and clenched the knucklebone tightly. "I can understand, the Murutha have a simmilar plague upon them."
 
Skudi nodded in agreement.


"Yes, I imagine high master Skjorn will show them Northern Steel, how I long to travel and fight along side him. He is honored throughout the Hollows as a hero and protector of my people." Skudi boasted, Skjorn was almost like a father or uncle to him. They continued on through a passageway that led to Trader's Hollow, shops and homes lined the walls and stalls dotted the middle of the Hollow.
 
"CORO DO IT." She yelled out to the lion. It and pulled as she ripped away its claws that was holding him. She glared as she shoved the knife into it's hand and bit down on it with her teeth. The nightmare screamed and pulled away letting the man go. The female shifted her weight, as she caught the man that was in his grasp and allowed him to land softly onto the flooring using half her body as a safe cushon. She turned her head toward coro and flung her hand out as she gritted her teeth. "BITE DOWN ON THE BEING , LEAVE HIM NO WAY TO SURVIVE."


Coro loved the way she talked. As if she welcomed the blood shed and horror of just ripping away someone's flesh or excistence. He bite down on it's neck and ran away from the battlefield. The monster shrieking in terror as you could hear coro's roar behind the trees.
 
Ausinoe pulled her burka over herself and covered her head with her hood, but left her face unhidden. She didn't want to elicit the same reaction in the market as she had in the southern village. "Your people do not beleive in horned demons, do they?"
 
Skjorn with the help of the Elves escaped the hand before flames scorched the ground where his head was. He threw an axe in the neck of the creature, then he grabbed hold and swung himself onto its neck. He ran up swiftly and slammed his axe into it's head bringing it to the ground. He lobbed off the dragon's head and looked at the elves, he gave them a nod of thanks and returned to the battle. Skjorn and his allies were winning and the undead were falling, the day was looking almost good in their favor. 
Skudi laughed loudly, picking up a piece of fruit from a vendor stall, and biting into it.


"We believe in many things but a demon you are not. You are refined and educated, here you are judged by action not race, some elves and even an Orc have lived here peacefully, it is rare, but honestly if you are strong of mind and warm of heart, people will not judge you." Skudi chuckled again. He stopped and sat on a bench carved into a stone pillar that went high up to the ceiling. Some people who noticed Skudi waved and said hello before they continued with their activities. Skudi messed with his necklace Skjorn gave to him, he twirled a talon in his hand.
 
"CORO" The lion came back, her hand pulling on its mane as she jumps on to it's back. " RIDE" Coro began to bardged through the enemy like a horse during a legendary battle. She raised her bow down ward ,a she was high enough to do so. She pulled out an arrow from her holster and drew it back. holding in he breath she release. Down came one as so did the others he companion Coro rode over. She continued to fire her arrows off one by one ,only six left as she inhaled and exhaled every arrow that released fro her bow in hand. Coro who was proud to ride beside her continued on his rampage, knocking them down, and running fro their current position.


Her orders were clear. Leave none alive. Shooting her last arrow she threw her bow back around her back and jumped of coro. Pulling the blades from her other holsters she slit and threw through the mall, their smell rubbing off on her as she charged into the center. Her ears twitched when one flanked her but he didn't get far for she kicked him to the floor and coro took his head.
 
The last of the undead fell as howling and shouting rung out through the air. Skjorn approached the Elves and stared at them. Especially the rider of the black beast.


"You fight well, but what business have you in the Barren North?" Skjorn questioned still holding an axe. He looked at them blankly awaiting an answer.
 
It had been many years since Ausinoe had been in a market last, so accepted. Even in her homeland she was always an outsider - an Asained One. People didn't trust her for it, as she may be ordered to assassinate them if they were determined to be infected with the curse. Most of the time she would travel through the underground districts, taking out those cursed with the plague, living in a caravan. The only people she knew and cared for travled with her, but she had lost even them. Something about this place was tempting... something begged her to stay. Two years of brutal woods survival had taken it's toll on her. Not only was day to day life difficult, but the sheer isolation from others was maddening. There had been more than one occasion where Ausinoe had become suicidal in her lonesomeness and despair, the first time having been rescued from poisoning herself by a lone villager, and the second by sheer chance when her handmade noose snapped the branch it was tied to and brought her crashing to the ground. She did not want to go back to that... ever. She smiled at Skudi, trying to appear friendly, but unsure of how to do so after being alone for so long. "Show me your customs, your culture... please"
 
Coro released his true form and went back into his dormant state. She looked up at him as her ears twitched and bowed her head slightly. "I am nothing but a rouge warrior , I happened to be passing by this area and coro hear sniffed the air and smelled something foul, so we decided to take action." She looked coro who purred. " And you are."
 
she looks at him and tilts her head slightly as Nagia walks up and sits next to her"i am just an Outcast i was sitting near my home whenNagia heard the fighting and i desided to help out" she say looking over at the other elf as well and then back at the male"i will be off then nice meeting you" she says and goes to walk away.
 
Skjorn stood straighter as he began to speak.


"I am Skjorn Kelison, high master of Forad Banamadr, we make our way into the dead marsh. Even though you are an elf if you wish to join us then come back to camp with us if not, then go, return to your wandering." Skjorn offered he then put his axe on his hip, and looked at them. Havgre came and patted Skjorn's shoulder.


"It matters not your race Elf, our fires will warm you the same." Havgre said. He slapped Skjorn on the back and returned to his Gunnarulfr warriors who were barking, howling, and just downright celebrating.
 
Turning Gazgull looked at his small band of scouts."hmmmm killed the Dragon did they? sounds like a right tough Hummie." turning Gazgull continued to clank forward. "maybe the boss will send us ova there to try an stop em next, now that the Dead failed. maybe we actually get a fight in the swamp. find me the cunning sneaky orcs. we gonna set a trap now."
 
She released her tense look and gave them a warm smile. "We have nothing better to do and my goal is far from my reach at the moment so thank you for the offer, I would be glad to stay." Coro nudged her as he whimpered. "This here is Coro , as you see he is no ordinary lion, right dear friend. " Coro purred as he leaned against her leg. She petted his head then looked up toward Skjorn. "My name is Eimin "


The lion yawned as it got up and circled around her. He then took off, collecting the bows she had thrown. Along with the knife that was left on the floor.
