Elena nodded and with a flick of her dark hair set off her mind speeding slightly in thoughts of rage addmerassion and excitmet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The portal opened at the egde of Cassha's Shadow Stormelle's eyes where slightly dull as she stepped out of the portal and glanced at Leela, Elneil, and then Cassha.
Ramsey remainded silent as she glarred at Cassha. Zidane turning into his lion form walked to Elneil other side his eyes narrowed.

"Cassha..." Elneil gasp as a wave of terror hit him but braceing himself he took a step foward. Now it comes... He thought. "Cassha," He repeated. "You promised that once I surendered you will let Ramsey free...now keep that promise!"
The Witch Queen smiled back at him a smile that held no warmth or merryment.
Leela lowered her head in a defencive posture and let out a growl. "Tis no'a tooch'in Elneil Or yousa be face'in me!"
The dragcorna was about to let loose her blue flame when Elneil stopped her "Peace Leela!" He said in firm voice. "You must leave while you can I will deal with her!"
Leela let out a whinney sound as she backed away but refused to leave the elf.
All will be done in time. Purred the Queen coming close to the elf and stroked his face with her delicate hand. Now my love come away with me to my...to our little Sea Haven.
"Free Ramsey first then I will come with you!" Snaped the elf pushing her hand away.
Does not my love doupt my words? Cassha glared at him her starlight eyes burned brightly with rage. Need I teach you a leason of whon I am!
Dark words hissed out from Cassha and the elf clutched his right hand in pain.
Now lets see if you can remember my last leason I tought you... The Socerous raised her arm as if to strike Elneil but that's when Stormelle and the others arived.

Zidane shout at Cassha his lion tail flicking he did not attack her but meerly growled and stood next to Elneil.
Stormelle's eyes still dull she said in a cold vocie that was almost unrecognizable, " Your words mean nothing when we have Ramsey."

"Ramsey!" Elneil cried over joyed to see her. "You're safe!"
Elneil ran right over to the she-elf embracing her tightly.
"I thought I would never..." He was about to say when Cassha interupted.
IMPOSSIBLE! She screamed and it seemed that the she had suddenly grown taller and a dark shadow grew about her.
You can not be here! No one could of broken those bonds! Pointing an angry finger at the young Queen she hissed.
Your witchery must be powerful indead! But you shall pay dearly for this!
The High sorcerous laughed cruelly. Wish to fight my little Queen? Cassha mocked at her. Bring out your warrior and I will bring out mine.
Elneil's mind raced rapidly, Cassha dispite being evil was a honnor bound sorcerous and always (well sometimes) kept her word.
An idea came to him a risky one at that but if it worked he could be rid of Cassha (hopefully) for good.
"Lady Stormelle..." He called.

Ramsey hugged him back but said nothing yet.
Stormelle had been about to open a portal but at her name she turned her eyes still slightly blank, " Yes?"

The dark elf sighed. "I can no longer continully run away from Cassha...nor hide." He said. "The more I run the more I hide the more aggresive she will get." He turned his head back at the Imortal Queen who was listening in with great intrust. "And she will strike feircely at the ones I hold dear." He added looking at Ramsey sadly. "Cassha has callanged you to a duel Stormelle."
Elneil faced Cassha once again and withdrew his sword "If you wish a duel...then let us dicause the terms. If we win you will free me from your enchantment and leave us all alone...if you win..." Paused for a moment. "I will willingly surrender myself to you."
"Queen Stormelle with your premission I am willing to fight in your name and honnor."

Stormelle said nothing for a moment then glanceing at Ramsey she nodded, " And please do not call me 'Queen'"

This greatly amused the High Scorcerus and the dark air that had hung about her vanished. Turning back into her goddess-like beautiful self.
Well Elneil my love it seems that you gain some of that noblibly you once had. She laughed with a voice soulding like bell chimes.I accept. And I will surely pick out a fine warroir for you to do battle with.
Elneil's heart sank as cold sneaking dread came over him. He was taking a great risk and not only that there was a possibitly that he was risking his friends lives. If he lost...if he failed the Witch Queen might seek revange against them. And put all his companions to a fate worse then death.
No...He thought pushing aside his fears. I must not dispeare yet not when there's hope.
"Then it is agreed." He said at last. "But I ask that you give me time to prepare...(and say goodbye) for the duel."
I give you three days...three days to prepare yourself. The battle will take place here at dawn. Though I have put off the holding spell on you, my love.
Elneil grimanced. That ment he would transform back into the Mor'tack at night.
Cassha grinned darkly at Ramsey. You have choosen a worthy elf...though I would not get too comferable with him jest yet.
She gracfully came closer to the she-elf, her eyes burning brightly with hatetred. But tell me, she-elf how did you manage to escape my bonds?

Stormelle growled and steped infrount of Ramsey, Come now do you want us to spoil the secret?
Zidane had transformed back into his normal self and as Stormelle gave a simple flick of herwrist he steped into the portal and stood waiting for the others.
Stormelle grabbed Ramsey by the arm gentaly and walked wiht her into the portal, " Come Elneil."
((( O.O Three days better pass quikly..XD )))

The answer did not entirely please Cassha but she let them go with out any trouble.
Heeh in three days my love...She smiled eyes gleaming. You will die or prehapes I will let you live as a puppet of mine.
The socerous chanted a dark spell and black smoke surrounded her fair body and then disapeared all together. Now was the time to go home and select a someone for Elneil to duel. And she had someone in mind...Mawinic the War Mage yes he would do Elneil greatly.
He would fight the elf to the death.
Elneil watched Cassha leave before following the others into the portal.

As the portal closed Stormelle glaced at Zidane and his injury. Taking a horn like object off her neck she placed the tip of it aganst the wound which healed atomaticaly.
Zidane nodded, " Thanks."
Stormelle meerly put the 'horn' back around her neck and to to Ramsey, " Your people will want to see you...Do you want to go to them or stay at Alatasent?"
Ramsey thought a moment, " My people will know I am safe?"
Stormelle nodded, " Yes Teko will go and tell them."
Ramsey nodded, " Then I will stay at Alatasent."

"And I wish to prepare myself for the battle ahead..." Elneil spoke up. "I fear the Witch Queen will be sending her best warrior."
He shifted uneasily for a second glacing at Ramsey. "If you do not mind I wish to visit your home....Alatasent. Previded of that I leave it before sunset."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at Sea Haven the servant drones of Cassha worked effortessly cleaning up the damages from the battle. The Infeirmery was full of wounded, and the dead...put away until a decent burial serives could be done when the time came.
"And one poor mage in the mists of her thoughts..." Murmmered Feyna lying down on her bed. Her father had been called to yet another meeting and to her surprise noone question her about what had happened.
Or not just yet.
She lay there brooding on the days events. What had she done was an act of betrayal and for what? A total stranger!
Feyna's head ached as she sighed and rubbed her head with a many ringed hand.
Had I done the right thing...I do pray that his man who ever he was keeps silant. I love my Queen but I fear her greatly as well.

Stormelle nodded, " You are welcome there...And if you must." but at this the portal opened and Stormelle tok her leave with out much more to say.
Zidane nodded in goodbye and headed twore dhis rom hoping for some rest.
Ramsey stay with Elneil for a moment then giving hima light kisson the cheak she waved and walked away.
Stormelle walked only so far before she was meet by Teko, " Genral Teko. I have a mission for you." a silance lapsed between them but Teko bowed and taking the paper that she held out for him read it and the tossed it into the fire and sifted into his dog form and was gone.
Stormelle walked slowly into the councile room so she could speak with Carsa.

The elf looked at her almost in surprised at her kiss. "Now what was that for?" He said in a mock serious tone smiling blightly. Or was he actually blushing under that dark skin of his?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feyna took another sip from her crystal wine glass. It was an elixar that simulated the mind and gave her more control over her emotions. It also did something else which made her behave...oddly.
"Cassha will eventually call for me..." The mage said feeling suddenly sick from the drink. "I will tell...her yes I will tell her everything...save for my foolish act."
Feyna stammered a bit. "Or prehapes not so foolish uhh..."
She dowsly whiped her eyes. "I hate this stuff."
Feyna grimaced and forced herself to drink the rest of the elixar. It always gave her a sickening feeling when she drank it but it always went away after awhile for now best to go to sleep and till then not worry of what could lie ahead.

Ramsey grinned and waved again walking calmly into the castel garden.
A firm but familar vocie came from the top of the stairs to Elneil, " So I hear you need to train." it was Teko's brother accompained by Fara who smiled and unlinking her arm walked off after Ramsey.
