Entering The Forbidden

Meet the Guards

*Isadora*

"Tdours me herr hdew?", Skylar asked me in our native language.
"Tuze", I replied.
"What are you guys talking about?" Raziel asked.
"We were arguing about something", Skylar said.
"Could you enlighten me on the subject?", Raziel asked.
"We sense magic being used near by", I said.
"I've been using magic Princess", Raziel said slowly.
"I'm not stupid not your magic. It's defiantly a group of wizards", I interrupted.
"I would be able to tell if what you say is true", Raziel replied.
"No. You wouldn't. Elves can sense magic up to more than 30 miles", Skylar said.
"Then how do we know you aren't lying?", Will asked.
"You don't. Trust us", I said.
Raziel sighed and moved his horse in front of us. Will soon followed.
"Well that went well", Skylar said as she smiled.
"Yeah", I said.
"You going to sleep now?" Skylar asked. I knew she wanted to try to beat my new record I had achieved earlier.
"Nah", I said pulling out my daggers and a sharpening stone.
"Those are already wicked sharp. Why sharpen them?" Sky questioned me.
"It's fun. I like them to cut with ease. They are my favorite weapon", I replied sliding the stone along the edge. Then I put the stone away and began to fiddle with the daggers.
"I don't like them. They give me the chills" Sky responded.
"They remind me of death and destruction. Like fire", I replied gazing at the faintly glowing blade.
"It shows me how I'll die!", Sky whispered shouted.
"Not for me. It shows me taking the throne. It shows me a burning kingdom", I replied putting one into my boot and fiddling with the other.
"That's not concerning", Sky said with a motherly look.
"Calm down. Let me enjoy the few hours of freedom we have in peace", I replied
"We have more than a few hours", Sky told me. Trying to convince herself.
"Not if we keep traveling at this speed on the main road. We are literally walking to the group of wizards", I shot back.
"Who knows maybe they are just a group of travelers", Sky replied trying to convince me and herself.
"You know that there is a 75% chance they aren't travelers. And someone won't believe us", I responded glaring at Raziel.
"Thank you for glaring at me Princess", Raziel called turning over his shoulder to smile.
"Always free", I said voice full of sarcasm.
"Raziel please believe Isadora.  There really is danger ahead", Sky interrupted before Raziel could reply.
"No  I have no reason to", Raziel answered.
"Well I won't hesitate to blame you for our capture. Or tell you I told you so", I replied. Raziel turned to face the rode but I could tell he was straining his ears for any sound of the group of approaching wizards. I predicted we had about ten miles till we met face to face.
"When will we stop?", Will asked Raziel.
"Now. Here", Raziel replied pulling our group off the rode and into a small clearing.
"Well that was good timing", Sky said as she dismounted Fawn.
"Not as good as mine", I said. Sky took a step forward and I jumped from prank landing on top of her.
"Perfect. Absolutely perfect", Sky said a she got up off the ground brushing dirt off of her.
"Again. Enjoying my freedom", I said as I got up and went to get some food from Raziel.
"We will rest here long enough to get some sleep. Eat then rest", Raziel informed our small group.
"Won't sleep", I mumbled as I went to rest against a tree.
"You barely ever sleep", Sky whispered back to me.
"When you are asleep you are weak. Unprotected. Defenseless", I informed her.
"Yeah whatever. I already slept. We can take watch", Sky said directing the last part to Raziel.
"Fine whatever. Be good", Raziel answered with a wave of his hand as he went to rest against a tree.

"Lets mount up", Raziel's voice rung around the clearing. With a groan I stood and felt a wave of feeling pass through me.
"Raziel they are close. Like really close. Like 5 miles close", I said as I mounted Prank.
"Whatever. You're crazy. I get that be quiet and let's ride", Raziel said, pulling his cloak to cover his face.

"Did you hear that?", Raziel asked as he slowed.
"I told you so", I said as we rounded the corner to come face to face with seven warlocks dresses in the High King's patrol uniform.
"We will just be going now", Raziel said as he turned his horse.
"No you won't", one of the warlocks said pulling out a crossbow. I grabbed my bow and had an arrow nicked in a blink of an eye.
"Ah. An elf. No two. These are always fun. Very challenging. We normally end up having to use magic in the end", a different wizard said.
"I'm not here for your amusement", I spat not turning my head to shot the arrow just above his head before knocking another arrow to aim at the first wizard who spoke.
"Feisty one too", a third one spoke.
"Leave her alone", it was Sky's turn to interfere.
"Okay. Let the girls and this boy go. I'm the wanted one here", Raziel interrupted.
"No. We are on strict orders", the first spoke again moving his horse closer.
"Not another step", Raziel threatened.
"I'm not afraid of a criminal", the third spoke as he moved his horse to join his friend.
"You should be afraid of me", I said letting three arrows fly one after another hitting there marks on the three speakers' shoulders. They all gave slightly with the force of my arrows.
"You'll pay", the first said eyes filling with hatred.
"Don't question me. I'm not your everyday lady", I said
"Come quietly and no harm will come to you", one said from the back of the group said.
"Yeah sure", Sky said.
"Quiet. Do as they ask", Raziel said defeated as he eyed the seven wands drawn.
"That's it. Give up that easy!" I shouted at him.
"Yep", he replied with a wink, as they cast spells to bind his hands.

I glared into Raziel's back as we slowly trudged along.
"Don't glare. It's not a nice look on you", the wizard riding to my left said. I learned his name was Percy.
"Last warning. Don't talk to me"I replied.
"I do as I please", he said. I leaned forward onto the horn of the saddle. Sliding my legs from their stirrups I straightened my arms swinging my legs towards the warlock I knocked him from his horse.
"What are you doing Prin-cella", Raziel shouted turning to face me.
"Princella?" I asked raising a brow "and I warned him.
"Yes Princella. Listen to your daddy", the wizard said as he climbed back onto his horse.
"Excuse me. I have you know he is a wizard. I'm an elf. He's like only three years older than me", I said as Sky kicked my leg closest to her.
I glared at her.
"Quiet", the wizard said from the front of the group interrupted. The wizard next to me huffed and glared at me.
