 The Beginning
This is strictly fantasy.
At the moment anyone can read it.
A dark elf has risen and spread chaos over all the lands.
He's power hungry and wanting more than his fair share of the pie.
Wrenna is on the run to reach orion and her brother,she's had plenty of tradgedy and is ready to start kicking ass.
Will the Keenari get her before she reaches safty or will the Elf get to eat his pie
A bird called through the darkening twilight.
It's cry eerily lonely in the vastness of Denkari swamp.
Perilous at day, the swamp was deadly to those unfamiliar with the natural dangers that sourounded it.
Hidden to those who knew too little of the traps and dangers that nature had intended for it's own defence,the still waters deceivingly looked the scene of tranquillity.
Keeping to the sparsely populated trees on the narrow bank, Wrenna Del-lorian was aware of those dangers having grown up in the small village of lomar.Were the waters of Denkari surrounded the tiny town.
Tucking her cloak more securely around her against the chill that seemed to permit her very bones,she refused to give in to the helpless tears that wanted to free themselves.
The destruction of the past few hours still fresh in her mind, she willed away the violent images.
Images that had ripped her from a loving home,
and had taken the lives of her parents, and destroyed the people of Lomar.
They had thought they were safe from the Keenari.
That the beasts would not dare encroach on Orion's land.
Their fear of the mage keeping them far away in the past,
but since the dark elf had risen to rule they had become unstoppable under his command.
That very morning they had raided and destroyed without mercy.
Killing everyone and everything,that she had held dear.
By a crual twist of fate she had been spared,while those she loved had died brutal deaths at the hands of monsters.
"Berry picking" she whispered aloud,breath catching on a sob at the irony of it!
She had been picking berries on the other side of the river, and had not even known of the attack until it had been too late!
Leaning wearily against the narrow trunk of a Nell tree, she rested a moment before starting on again.
How was she going to tell her brother of their parents deaths?.
Even thinking of telling Nate hurt!
She must reach Orion and Nate and seek their help before the Keenari picked up her scent and realized they had left a survivor in the wreckage of Lomar.
If they did realize their mistake before she reached the mage,she was already as good as dead!

Re: The Beginning
The tavern was dim and reeked of ale,smoke and sweat.
For Jaxx Monroe it was a familiar setting and a welcoming one.
Leaning a boot heel on the grimey bar rail,he surveyed his souroundings through narrowed grey eye's.
At 6"4 he towered easily above everyone in the bustling Inn, and more than a few backed away uneasily at his hight.
He had a lean taut frame that was built for speed and agility and an underlying calm that was unnerving to those who knew him closely.
It was a trait that had kept him alive many a time in battle.
Tonight that calmness was about to be shattered.
It was then he caught sight of the small figure huddled at the end of the bar.
The face was hidden in the hood of a travelling cloak, a cloak that he himself had given to her for her 16th birthday.
"Wrenna" he breathed.
The pleasure he felt at seeing her, was coated swiftly in anger that she should venture so far from home.
Making his way swiftly to her side, he spun her around.
His angry words dying in the face of her tears.
Mingled releif and despair filled those beautiful violet eye's,and whith a small moan she clung to him.
"Their d-dead!" she gasped into his shirt.Sobbs racking her slender frame.
"who?" even as he spoke he knew the answer.
"They came Jaxx!They came and killed every man, woman and child!"
Eye's filled with horror he shook his head in denial.
"Lomar is no more" she whispered.

Re: The Beginning
They flew low.
Their senses picking up the delicate scent of the survivor.
Uttering a bird-like screech , the scout signaled with a backwards flip before diving to land on clawed feet.
Following, the remaining 3 dropped down.
They'd found their prey.

Re: The Beginning
They attacked with vicious intensity born of desperation. One moment was all it took for the bustling cheery inn to turn into a scene from a nightmare.
Pushing Wrenna under the nearest table,Jaxx drew his sword.
Adrenilin pumped through his blood as the door was wrenched from it's frame and tossed aside.
Bloodcurdling screeches filled the night as a body was thrown through the doorway, minus the head.
Blood splattered as it came to rest at his feet.
Ensuing panic broke out.
Screams dying off to whimpers, as winged creatures made their prescence known.

Re: The Beginning
"The woman." hissed the one in front.
Snake-like amber eyes moving to zero in on Jaxx.
It was tall for a Keenari,even an inch or two taller than himself.
Scaled wings were folded back out of sight.Yellow skin gleamed like polished leather under the light of a lantern that hung suspended above the door-less frame.
Clawed feet scratched at the wood floor,as if in search of somthing beneath.
Clawed hands dripping in fresh blood it took a step forward,allowing Jaxx to see how many stood behind.
Hand tightening on the hilt of his sword he took count and swore softly under his breath.
Four!
By the Godess,
It would take a miracle to get them out alive.....

Re: The Beginning
Lifeless eye's stared at her from where the head lay only inches from the table.
It's mouth open in a silent scream.
Closing her eyes briefly from the terrible sight she prayed to the Godess for strength.
Hand going to her belt she felt around in the small pouch,that hung there, for Orions stars.
The powerfull small Orbs felt cool against her palm.
Thanking the great mage silently for his gift she grasped one, Whispering the words that would bring the magic inside to life and praying it would hold enough to save them.......

Re: The Beginning
Nate slept.
His dreams filled with images that were beyond horror.
The sweet tang of blood filled his nostrils as he walked in a world that was his calling.
Charred remains lay besides smoldering ruins of houses and buildings that had once known life.
Bodies hung from trees that he had climbed as a child, mutilated so bad he could not tell if they were man or woman.
In this dream, that was reality, his feet walked as if of their own accord, taking him somplace he did not want to go,
but still he walked in this cursed place,that Orion called his gift.

Re: The Beginning
Back at the Inn
Wrenna drew back her arm and threw.
Time seemed to stand still as the Orbs sailed towards the Keenari,they're colours changing from cool silver to warm azure.
Eye's widening Jaxx hit the floor.
Rolling towards Wrenna he covered her with his body as fierce light exploded around them....

Re: The Beginning
Slowly, like awakening from a deep slumber,Jaxx senses started to kick in.Eye's smarting from the fading light that hovered on the fringes of the room, he atempted to raise his head. wrenna's hand on the nape of his neck stopping the movement before it had begun.
"We have to get out of here" she spoke the words in a in whisper, her breath caressing his lower jaw and ear.
