Days of War (anyone)

[Belladandy]

Why is she staring at me? The former mage shifted in her seat getting more and more uncomfortable till finally she turned to Anatros.
"Hmmm...Anatros," Feyna said, her voice calm and cool despite the tension. "Once your 'mother' relieves you from your duties and if she has nothing for us to do...I like you to company me on the next hunting party."

Feyna gave him one of her best charming smiles suddenly feeling better already.
"My Kee'linn does need his exercise and the warbirds are getting restless."
She added, thinking of her steed a kee'linn a strange unicorn-deer creature with the personality of a dog and the large flightless dinosaur like birds with sharp hawk beaks and nasty temper to those other then their masters.

"Don't worry this faun can keep a secret!" He answered.

[Stormelle]

OOC: my mind is blank...><;

[Belladandy]

((Umm...here's an idea; how about Elneil is doing a little spying around Elena's castle and learns about Stormelle being held hostage there?))

[Stormelle]

(( Hmm...Well should I have someone catch him and bring him in where Anatros dimicess him and while he's there he sees stormelle or soemthign of the like? ))

[Belladandy]

((Oh! even better! Plus I want him and Feyna to have a meeting. She never saw Elneil before and nor does he know (yet) about her relations with Mawinic.))

[Stormelle]

(( kk, ^^ I'll do it then! :3 ))

Stormelle looked back at ehr food bitterly and forked it in a very apperent annoyed way.

Anatros smiled largly his eyes sparkly with slight malevilence. " Certainly."


Outside a gaurd had spotted a lurking watcher and had yelled loudly, they now had the person corned. The gaurd that had first spotted him growled loudly, " Show yer self!" he yelled loudly as his fellows crept closer to be sure the man did not escape.

[Belladandy]

Feyna beamed at him. She needed a brake. Being a servant to a renagade was phisically and mentally demanding and though she wouldn't have any other way (besides going back to Crafting) it was a releif to rest and relax once and a while.
~~
The man cloaked in black face hidden from veiw, held out his hands, palms up showing he came in peace.
"Stay your weapons." He said in a low voice. "I mean you no harm."

[Stormelle]

Anatros nodded very slightly and stood, "Will you excuse me just a moment?" He moved just out of the hall and sighed deeply, he couldn't help this, keeping this form for so long made him weak. Now that Feyna wanted to go on a small trip it ment he would have to keep it for even longer. Breathing slowly and deeply he let himself relax a moment, long white ears and a fluffy white tail appeared and then disappear, the young wolf grinned slightly as he rentered the hall.
" Sorry...I had to freshen up." he said as he took his seat a resumed eating.

_____________

The gaurd growled as he put his sward away and signeled to some of the others, " Sneakin' 'round the castel ant teh best idea lad...Jer comin' wit me."the first gaurd said as the other tied the figure's hands and then returned to their posts. " Her majesty tis busy...Jo'll be speakin' wit her son." the gaurd said as he lead the way into the castle.

[Belladandy]

Feyna raised curious eyebrow at him but said nothing and shrugged it off.

~~~~~~~~~
"Very well then."
The hooded man made no resistance having his hands bound in face he seemed quite calm (though he was really nervous inside).

[Belladandy]

*bumps*
The ex-craft mage jerked her head up suddenly hearing something down stairs.
"Sounds like someones coming and judgeing by the heavy footsteps it's one of our gaurds."

[Stormelle]

Anatros looked toward the door, " Indeed." he stood and walked to the door the gaurds at it opening it to reveal a gaurd holding a man in bonds before him. " What's this?" Anatros said raising an eyebrow.

" Tis an intrudor sir. Do ye want ter handle it or leave it ter yer mum?" the gaurd said looking at Anatro wiht a fearful eye.

Anatros looked to Feyna," What do you think Miss Feyna?" he asked grinning at her.

Stormelle looked at the man she couldn't see his face but she thought he might be someone she knew.

Ramsey nodded, " War...It plages our land. And our Queen...Her Lady Ship Stormelle has gone missing.." Ramsey said her eyes now not only watering fom the ouions but from her sadness.

But just as she fell silent the door to Zidane's home opened and in Zidane walked followed by Fara. " Hope you don't mind but General Fara is going to join us for supper." Zidane said girnning sheepishly and walking into the kicten throwing his cape off and beging to help cut veggies and meat.

Fara smiled softly, " Zidane, can I go wash up?" she called. Zidane nodded and Fara disappeared up the stair to find the bathroom.

[Belladandy]

"I think one little intruder can be easily dealt with." She said looking at the stranger who in turned bowed his head and smiled at her then turned his gaze to Anatros.
Son? The renegade has a human son? Thought the man eyes narrowing slightly. Looking past the man he caught sight of something (or rather someone) that made his heart leap.
Stormelle! So that's what has happened to you!
~~~~~~~~
The little faun looked at her wide-eyed but fell silent seeing Zidane come in followed by Fara. His silence continued as he helped getting supper ready.

[Stormelle]

Anatros srughed, " Fine...Be gone gaurd." Anatros said taking the rope from the gaurd and walking back to his seat, " Sit stranger." he said not unting the man but pushing him into the seat.

" So...Speak stranger and defend why you are in my mother's lands or you shall be thrown in the dungon until my mother or myself see fit to release you. Who are you and what are you doing here?" Anatros said his eyes seeming to burn into the man.

Stormelle held in a gasp as she looked at the man. It was him! Oh how she wished she could tell Ramsey. However she didn't know when she'd see the elf next...Or if she even would see her.

______________________________

As the meal stewed Zidane sat at a table strewn with maps and ideas of attack. " General?" he said standing up several minutes after Fara had gone up the stairs and following her. He knocked on the bathroom door. No responce. Zidane growled and hitting himself against the door hard broke the lock and stood in a empty room.

The window open, Zidane's eyes half closed. He should have relized, she would go after Stormelle herself and let it be her own fault and not anyone else's. He growled and ran down the stairs taking on her lion fourm. " Stay here!" he yelled at them.

Ramsey shook her ehad as Zidane disappeared out the door, " Come on Pallo! I don't care what he says. We follow." Ramsey said with a slighty grin as she ran out the door after Zidane.

[Belladandy]

The man (or rather Elneil the elf) stayed quite for a moment then in a voice low and calm he spoke.

“My name is of no importance. I am a traveler, who wanders where the wind takes me. I serve under no lord or serve no country save for myself.”

Elneil paused for a second thinking and mentally crossing his fingers that his plan would work. He knew that he couldn’t rescue the Queen. Not by himself, too risky, but if he managed to somehow send word to Storm Crow a rescue party would surely come to her aid.
Now if he could convince this man that he was just a wanderer and not a spy (which he was) and perhaps learn what the Lady Elena been up to these past few months.

“I journeyed my way to your castle wondering if I could lodge here for the night.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I don’t think this is a good idea!” The faun commented chasing after the elf. “We could get ourselves into trouble! And I don’t mean Zidane getting angry with us!”

[Stormelle]

Anatros glared slighlty then smirked, " If you name is of no importance..." Anatros said as he started to pace around the table. " Then why not tell it to me? If you do I shall let you pass by as you wish...Atleast this time...Know that anyother time you will be given to my mother. She's much more cold hearted then I."

Stormelle glanced at Anatros and then trying to burry the fact that she knew Elniel began eating slowly, as to still seem hesitant but not to much so.

Ramsey grinned and called back, " Trouble is fun! Especially with my friends!" Ramsey called. Then she remebered times past of adventures. Sighing sh thought despratly, I must not let that weigh my mind down!

As Zidane ran he tracked the smell of Fara. She should have done something to put him off more. But then she did. Her sent was gone. " Dang that sifter!" he shouted into the sky and called despratly to his dragon, Pip. Pip!Come on girl! Wake up! I need you! STORMELLE needs you!!!

As he did so a large roar could be heard from the direction he'd come and then a huge wind gust came over the three. A large red dragon landed infront of Zidane, it's black horns glicening in the moonlight.

Zidane glanced back the way he'd come as he took on his human fourm once more. H laughed as he spotted Ramsey and Pallo, " As to be expected! Come you two. We must find Fara!" Zidane called as he ajusted Pip's saddle so she could carry the three of them.
