Though The Master was waiting to pounce upon our Leif he continued on his way with a smile. Glad to have meant one he could trust like Elshan. Others in his band consisted of Bard the Bargman and the Elf's prince's lover Silmë. They were few, but those loyal to the end for him. And for that he was grateful.

"Master, Master." A voice whispered as it hustled through Laketown. "The pointed eared one has come again." "Very good "... The Master of Laketown purred. "Very good indeed." He chuckled. "Tell our good hero we have a gift for him. One he cannot refuse.". "Aye." Betrayal said in agreement as a reply. Going to go find Legolas, son of Thranduil.

"Ah, Soren my good friend!" Legolas says with a smile. Greeting one he thought of as a brother. "It is joy to see you again. How are things of late?" He questioned. "Very good," His friend replied. "Though something has been troubling me." "Oh?" The Elf said in concern. "Pray, do tell if you wish so."
Soren sighed, running a hand slightly through his brown, shoulder length hair. "The Master's been stirring up things nowadays. His schemes grow with each visit you pay." He begins. "It's become a game of cat and mouse, with even your friends as unintended players. It could get worse for you Leif. And for those around you as well. If you do not look well after those you seem fit to trust."
Legolas nodded, listening warily to his friend's warning. "Well I have no need to worry. For I have chosen best my companions whom I trust." He says with a smile. Though still in mind cautioned. Soren smiled slightly, then it fell. "I would not still be too sure." The man forewarned. "The master has a gift for you and it comes at the hand of one of your friends." "And how would you know such?" Leif questioned. Hand fingering his bow as he raised a brow.
"Because I am that false friend whom you once did trust." His friend announced harshly before it all went black......
And it all went down for our Leif who lost what he thought a friend..
