Everywhere But Here

[Jordan Hielo]

Jordan crinkled his nose as he walked through the marsh. He froze the water he stepped on to stay afloat, and walked around. He had managed to get lost while hunting sadly, chasing a deer right into the marsh. He was so hooked on catching it, he did not realize he was not in the forest until it was too late. And naturally he stopped his chase to turn around and head back. Sadly, it did not work out like that, and the man had completely lost his way.

I can find my way around town...I can find my way around the island...the forest...the mountains...but of course, this is what I get for not stepping one foot into the gods be damned marsh! the elemental sighed as he looked around. It was too damp for his liking, too warm as well. He could feel the density in the air, and he hated it.

He did not have much choice, however, and continued walking through the marsh with his two blades drawn, just in case.

Magnus cept silently in the trees of the marsh lands. He closes his eyes to open them in the multiple places in the marsh.

He was closely following the boy who had come to the sleeping tree, something inside urged him to find more about the visitors. One, the winged fellow, had been killed in the war that had been raging in Avaluer. It was a shame, the troubles that plagued the lands.

Magnus opened his eyes once he spores Jordan and continued to make his way to the boy's position.

That inevidable feeling. Jordan felt chills going up his spine. The feeling of being watched was one he did not like. He hated feeling as if he were being hunted, it should be the other way around. None the less, he knew he could not do much about it. So, he slipped his swords back onto his belt and shifted into his elemental form. His hair was now solid as ice, and his skin had changed a small tint of blue.

Jordan placed his hands in his pockets and sighed, continuing to walk, but now more ready for the thing he presumed was hunting him. And yet, even while being watched, his mind continued to wander as he was in a safer position with his elemental form.

...I miss Kavanah... he bit his lip. His first friend in Avaleur, and he dies in the war. It was a great shame, and Jordan was extremely upset by his friends death. Jordan shook his head, trying to concentrate on his surroundings.

((lol your post make mine look newbish. XD))

When Magnus finaly caught up to the boy's real location he noticed that he had changed. His body was now covered in ice, had he felt him watching? It would not have been the first time it's happened while Magnus was following someone but never this soon and never did anyone act so quickly on it. Unlike the rest, the bit must have, without a doubt, the knowing of a watching eye.

He debated whether to reveal himself or not, they were not strangers, but friends they were not either. He would continue to watch for a wee bit longer.

[Jordan Hielo]

(( Oh don't say that XDDD I think our posts both look good : P ))

After quite a time of feeling the watching eyes, Jordan came to a clearing covered in somewhat wet grass. But, at least he would not get soaked. The ice under Jordan's feet dissappeared, and he now stood on the solid ground. He stood in the center of the clearing and stopped. After being watched for so long, he knew that at least in this clearing he would see the hunter before they attacked.

"Whoever or whatever you are, you might as well come out now! Beast or being, this is really getting on my nerves!" He slowly spun in a circle as he spoke, arms wide out. His expression was one of stress. Of course, when you feel like you're being hunted you would be at least a little bit stressed.

Magnus stepped into the clearing to show himself to the elemental. He was calm and collected, eyes red as the marsh spook and he looked through its eyes. "Sorry to give you grief,"

[Jordan Hielo]

"...oh hello, I remember you! Hello, I did not gather I might see you again," Jordan smiled softly, turning to face the man and lowering his arms.

Roe had been told the marsh was a place of interest. There was a section of it that had been obliterated by a fierce battle, and some of it looked like it had been burned. (Dadramora vs. Ryn) That was just one thing. Now, it appeared as if an ice elemental was visiting the area as well as an Almorite. Roe spoke from a tree branch.

"So, what's an Almorite and part of the ice nobility doing here?" He asked. Roe chuckled to himself, knowing that he was maybe one of three that knew the Almorites still existed. Being twenty- thousand years old had its advantages.

[Deleted]

"I am always around, if you are really looking." Magnus answered Jordan before he turned up to look at the dark elf, "Probably a very different reason that a dark elf would be."

[Jordan Hielo]

"I'm just walking around I suppose...how exactly did you know I am a noble?" Jordan furrowed his eyebrows as he turned to the elf.

[Deleted]

"You are mistaken, Almorite. I am no dark elf, nor am I a high or wood elf. Try again." Turning to the ice noble. "And I have been around a long time. I've fought many of your ancestors and have grown to know the difference. Your aura is slightly different. Also, most common elementals of the ice tribe have a darker hair color as well as darker eyes and a lower voice. Courtesy of their strange element. Earth elementals are strange and a pain in the ass to fight to be honest. I prefer wind to them all."

[Jordan Hielo]

"Well each element has its main skill. Some are fighters, or defenders, or healers. Who are you?" Jordan asked. Meeting a stranger in a type of place like this was odd. At least he knew Magnus, he wasn't a stranger. At least in Jordan's book he wasn't.

[Deleted]

Roe smiled. "i know this. Wind is an easy element to defeat, as they rarely attack head on. But I came here because somebody at the inn told me there were quite a few places of interest. I was told there was a battle here between a Crux and a man with wings. I found the place they fought, and it is still thoroughly destroyed. Now, I'm searching for other places and things of interest. And look what I found! An ice noble and an Almorite talking to each other. I've never seen that in my entire life." He said, somewhat amused.

So the stories where true. The blood elves remained as a single entity to spill the blood which was to be repaid. Magnus stood, arms crossed listening to the two.

[Deleted]

Seeing the Almorite cross his arms, Roe skipped immediately over to him. "And what is running through your head?" He asked on the tail of his statement to Jordan.

[Jordan Hielo]

Jordan placed his fists into his pocket as he looked at Roe. He kept his eyes on him, of course. To call any element easy to defeat is not very intelligent.

[Deleted]

Roe looked at the elemental, smiling. "What's wrong, my icy friend?"

[Deleted]

"Only examining the physical evidence of the blood elf stories. Not too much longer is it?" he asked curious.

[Deleted]

"Not too much longer for what?" Roe asked, confused.

[Deleted]

"Your time of slavery." he said as if everyone knew. Because most secrets were not kept from him in the world he sometimes forgot they were secrets or forgotten knowledge.
