A Deadman's Perspective

CH VI: The Elven Town, Ile.

Here we would have seen so far the power Jack Marrow has emitted, an outrage of one's will and determination to protect his comrades. Here we sighted how Azura and Kaiden escaped from the battle after some type of deal was made for them to be revived in a backbending effort to rewind reality just a tad, forever hence, their life is still fragile and they wouldn't even have known they would have died. We begin where we left off on this old tale of lore!

We seem to have reached a further destination of random wandering- the panting and breath of heavy wear and tear of oneself is that we see on these two peak species of Humes. Azura would be unconsciousdue to her efforts were exerted to far, causing her body to collapse on the mossy floor early. Kaiden, of course... Carried his friend on their back over the shoulder as if holding a weighted bag of some type of loot. The man would be placing forth each step, bypassing (Of course more or less ignoring-) his stamina's need to recharge as he fights on to get to somewhere safe! This whole forest was nothing but trouble already, as since the day Jack went berserk- 1 Week has passed and while starving heavily, their thirst was quenched by using Azura's Gauge and careful management of that supply of water in a canister the lad had.

We would be approaching the apparently noticeable sign of which hasn't been sighted. The tired body wouldn't cooperate and will barely stay up even though it is quite literally being pressed onward to get help. As this sign said in the Elven Tongue, "Ile, The Quiet Moss Town." Which there seemed to definitely be a lot of moss of grand vibrant ivy green hue all around. They looked as if mountains and hills were made from their growth. We would see how there were no buildings of any kind until, alas, an Elf of which was about the Hume age in looks to be 22. Energetic and young- She seemed to have been carrying a bucket filled to the brim with berries of many colors. From blue to crimson, of purplish-blues to pastel pink. These berries were sustenance Kaiden needed as he went to take a step forward before collapsibg upon the soft, fluffy moss terrain which was noticed by the very same Elf with the berries.

2 days have passed upon the duo's arrival and we have Azura, who finally has awoken, unlike Kaiden who sleeps in a peaceful look spread far on his face. Azura would glance around. Upon her study she would realize their was living stumps they would be in with moss growing in spots and patches specially cultivated to create floors and window panels. The old stump they would have been placed in was known as the "The Bug's Rest" which was known for bugs living in the wood which had a strange illuminating ability in them to glow at night through the wooden walls for which they fed upon the moss. Azura has sighted a maiden of foliage as to detail her embroidered dress of silk and fur, to clean it up and even make it seem more appealing to lay eyes on.

"Hey! Wh-what in the hell are we?!"

Azura barked in a bewildered tone toward the Elf. Seemingly angry that she has no collection of where Kaiden has taken due to the fact she was out like a light from exhaustion. It didn't help either she saw her childhood friend was unresponsive as well.

"What have you done to Kaiden!"

The Elf smiled softly, a graceful posture was displayed as she pinches the sides of her dress and does a little courtesy bow, before announcing herself to the confused Hume.

"Ah... You were knocked out as if you have been on the run my dear, would you like something to eat? You must be starving after all from the condition you two were in~"

She just politely answers the lady with soft expression that would be impossible to hate her. She was just a maid who took care of this building which was rarely used.

"Fine... I don't mind one bite. What do you guys eat? I wouldn't mind for some Calamari!

The Elf lady would be confused as what this "Calamari" would be- so she hesitates to ask, before shooing the question to replace it with a gentle answer

"We have berries and even some leafy like plants that restore the vitality of people. We even have some fruits if interested though. I apologize if I can't serve the item you ask for m'lady."

Azura would sigh in agitation due to seeing these elves would be just some "Peaceful" loving fucks whom care for everyone as if twas family to all. She didn't care for this act from them and got up. Walking past the Elven being before walking outside to sight the surroundings from the exterior of this building which the moss hills and mountains, were actually buildings covered in the substance themselves! The moss was maintained to use as to keep the wood or trees used underneath alive by increasing their longevity and keeping their food at an all-time high while absorbing the light for the wood as if acting like makeshift leaves due to their absence.

Azura would be shocked slightly in the town they were in. Due to this town was never like anything else they have seen before– making her heart feel a bit offbeat due to her nervous brain unable to wrap up on the situation. All she remembers is Jack Marrow was fighting some Demonic Wolf of which had dangerous prowess, which he went berserk... Not knowing his deal of what he made to save them.

She would be alerted to a loud like primal sound which alerts her. A hunting horn for what signals a danger nearby, the town was scarce of hunters- barely even protectors for this land. But here we seen that lady from earlier with the barriers rush to the gate of the south side (The duo came from the North, if ya wondering.) to be companied by 2 other elves. A Middle Aged elf who seemed to carry a short bow only and a mass of arrows filled in a quiver. The other elf seemed to be different from the  vibrant aura this town contains. His black yet pale skin, his long silver hair which is to the middle of his neck for which has a braid on the right upper side hanging at the front, His Purple hue eyes of which contains conviction and purpose, his cloth shirt of what seemed to be sewn on the back with poison ivy vines while leather armor with little protection. He carried a long bow of special wood it seemed, as if the concept of life itself exuded from it as well in his right side of his pants seemed to be a short sword with jagged edges.

He would be disappointed in the numbers to join the fray. He would raise a hand to his temple before mumbling in his language. He was known as a Drow, a type of shadow and elusive elf which usually don't show themselves. This elf though? He broke the rules and reforged them for himself of his kinsfolk. He would be asked by the other elf what should he refer to him as.

The Drow would speak up as his Elven-Russian tongue would come forth in voice, for which it said"

"Flynn... Flynn Everthorn. It's just disgusting to see nobody cares about their safety due to their laxed nature has settled too far south."

Azura would hear this before nodding as if agreeing from afar. She may not think she anything besides he is an Elf, but he speaks more sense than the other ones. So she decided to sign up for this hunt. She went over and looked him in the eyes as he glanced over to Azura. Glaring her down with nothing more but a stern look to intimidate her. As if testing her.

"Why the glare? Don't you need help or not?"

Azura says to the Drow in somewhat rude manner. She looked at the other elf before doing the same to them.

"What? You have a problem as well?!"

The random elf there who was going to hunt backs down as they wouldn't care if they came or not. Extra help is always enjoyed. The Drow on the other hand, smirked as sighting this tone which he respected.

"Seems ya got guts., welcome to the "Thorned Squadron" we have a scout whom sighted 4 Dire Wolves nearby which have strolled far from home. They find the elves here? Well there would be no more elves then."

Here we would see the 3 go out from the south gate as they were raised for them to eliminate the threat. Here they would rush forth to the area last spotted. They would rush past trees, flora, and bugs of all manner of creation. Soon hours passed as they arrive to they saw 2 dead Dire Wolves, with one of them limping with a broken leg trying to get awat- with no avail.

"What in the bloody blazes happened here?"

Flynn spoke in his mentalscape before placing a finger on that thought as they see a long vine like arm with three pronged claws unfrul to grasp the Dire Wolf whom is wounded. Here the heroes would glance at the would as the elf from earlier who we don't know the name of rushes in to do baseball slide forward trying to shoot the vine with an arrow- failed of an attempt to shoot it as he gets entrapped by a large flytrap plant which consumes him. Here... We will stop and leave off from the story for the battle of where we may learn more of how this forest works and more!
