Shadowed

Chapter 8

They were all standing back near the balcony of the halls when the huge two sided door opened, everyone of them was ready even lady Tyriel was grabbing on to his blades in preparation of what was to come.

Shock was in everyones faces when two beings entered, they emitted such strong energy that it was felt by all of them.

A mix of relief and humiliation engulf all three of them, specially when lady Tyriel looked at them, eyes squinting in disappoiintment and frustration.

A male elf with fiery red hair,entered the room, though he was of different skin color than lady Tyriel the pointed ears easily gave way to the beings race. The man wore a mix of gold and red tunic with elf markings on the side, his hair hanged down up to his hips, almost hiding the two small blades behind his back.

He was accompanied by a handsome young human with an army cut, he wore a silver chainmail covered in a white templar tunic, his sword was that of glittering silver etched with a skull and had rune like markings on the handle.

"Good day, it seems we have a bit of a welcome here" the elf jokingly states with a cheerful smile.

Lady Tyriel immediately bows down on her knees upon their entry "My lords" she greets in total respect and formality.

"Whats with the tension" the man stated with a frown on his face upon seeing the still surprised group.

"My apologies, the children just suddenly acted like this" lady Tyriel raised up her face in all seriousness "it seems the boys mark causes it" she points at Auriels hand, which was now showing its mark.

"That's quite peculiar is it not Kasamir" the elf looks at Auriels right arm then at his companion, all through out with a genuine smile on his face.

"Indeed Valamir" the handsome man named Kasamir nods in agreement also having a somewhat appeasing smile.

That was when Marious suddenly holds down his rapier, mouth wide open in total awe "By Oberon it's them!" a mixture of excitement and panic was noticeble in his voice.

"Wow" Valerie was mesmerized just by the sight of the two.

Setting aside the tingling sensation Auriel frowns at the reaction of his friends "Who're they?" he could not help but ask, being both confused and in pain due to the weird sound that only he can hear.

Marious breaths in heavily, excitement literally is shown on his face, he slowly floats towards Auriel "The one talking to lady Tyriel is Valamir Flamestrike" he whispers "he's also known as the holy flame".

Auriel was taken aback by the sudden shaking of his friend due to excitement and fandom.

Lady Tyriel was now infront of the two warriors, trying to explain and apologize for their behaviour a while ago.

"I heard he burned every demon he encounterd into a crisp" Valery states having the same reaction as Marious.

"Yeah, I never realized he was more dazzling in person" Marious giggles, a smile was widening even more on his face.

Auriel was still puzzled at his friends reaction, he could not believe that the two could actually agree on something, he then notices the handsome man smiling weirdly at him "And the other one?" he tries to discreetly point out at the man looking at him.

"Thats Kasamir Bane" Valery answered with a whisper, then sheepishly waves at the man.

The man also gave back a slight wave at them, making Valery shiver as if being possesed.

"Is that him!" Marious grabbed unto Valeries arm, then shaked it like there was no tomorrow.

"What did he do?" he ends up massaging his temple trying to keep up with his starstruck friends all the while concentrating on lessening his agony.
