Subject: Siarl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It should be noted, Nadira and Siarl's communciation is inaudible telepathy. Siarl and Freki's is in a dialect of Blink Dog (comprised mostly of barks and yips), so unless you happen to speak that (extremely unlikely ha ha), you wont understand it without help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, Little Brother, if there is unbalance here, it won’t take long before it spreads to our homelands. Long has it been my wish to protect our people, but it is for the elders to decide. Nadira smirked, a step back towards her usual self. And as always, you are free to stay behind with our people if you do not wish to tempt danger.
He would have smiled if he could. You know better than that, Beloved Sister. I will be with you on your journey.
Siarl accompanied Nadira back to the rest of her shakri. Once sure they could watch out for her, he focused hard, melting away from the camp, and appearing in the plains. From there he began moving further out, his nose searching the air for the scent he knew he'd eventually find. There was a pack here. He barked a request as loudly as he could. Please, come here. He repeated it every so often, confident someone would come. He was right.
Three Flash Hounds melted into existance in front of him. One, clearly the leader spoke first, hackles raised and a growl underlying every bark or yip. What do you want in our territory, stranger?
I come to make a two requests. Firstly, one of allowance. I and some companions, a mix of humans and half-elves, will be traveling through here. I dont know exactly when, but we may have the need to cross your territory many times. I would ask you allow this, and not attack our group. We may need to hunt some of your game, but we will take only as much as is needed. On this, you have my word. The second one is one of assistance. There is someone in the group who is very important to me. You know as well as I the danger of these Plains. If the time should come, I would ask that aid me in protecting her.
The three snarled at this, one tensing as if to spring. The largest stopped him with a short bark. You ask much. You wish for us to endanger ourselves for a stranger? And are already planning to take from our territory! Why should we allow any of this?
Siarl stopped an annoyed growl. It would do no good to explain that this group would go through regardless. He needed to offer something good. It was fortunate that he had something of worth to offer. Meat. There is a territory is a ways from here, and it is plentiful with Bison. I have permission to take what I need from it. If you agree, we shall go thereand hunt. Is this enough? He looked again at the three. They were healthy, but thinning. It was apparent that the hunting was not good here, whether for lack of game, or suprlus of enemies.
The leader spoke again. Take us to these bison. We promise nothing until you deliver.
Siarl nodded. He had expected as much. Without a word, he took off across the plains, trusting in their ability to keep up. It was a long journey, perhaps 2 hours. He would be tired tomorrow, but this was neccessary. He had to do everything within his power to ensure Nadira was protected. He was sure his brethren's help would be key in that.
Onward they ran, blinking out of the way of anything they came across. They were fast, to be sure. He would use the hunt to judge how well they would do in a fight.
They slowed down as they neared the herd. Siarl turnd to face his companions. We can take no more than two this night. I suggest we pair off. The leader nodded, tilting his head towards the smallest, who moved towards Siarl. We will go around the edge of the herd aways. When you are ready, give a signal. We should all then start barking and howling, to scare them. Try to use blink to its fullest effect; with it we can scare them into thinking there are more of us than there are. Siarl noticed their leader stiffening. He was fealing threatened. Is this an acceptable plan? The other relaxed some, thining it was regaining control. It will do, as long as it works. Now hurry to your position. I will signal you shortly. Siarl resented the other's command, but merely barked an agreement, and left.
Hunkered to the ground, he and his fellow slowly circled the herd. Siarl sniffed the air, his tail wagging a little. He always enjoyed the hunt. He got into position, crouched low to the ground, muscles taut and ready for action. He took in surroundings carefully. The grass here was half of his height, providing minimal cover at a run. The bison were stirring, but for the moment calm and not very alert. This would help. The ground was very flat here, without even the few bumps you may find in the Plains. This would give the Bison the advantage once they were running. He would have to move quickly to-
Siarl's train of thought was interrupted by a long howl trailing across the field. He gave a howl himself, his own louder and a bit deeper, as he broke into a run, blinking back and forth, towards the herd. He could hear the others with him, howling and barking and growling, stirring the herd into a frenzy. It was working. The herd was panicking, taking off in the opposite direction of what they were sure was a full pack of Flash Hounds. Near Siarl was one who couldnt quite keep up with the rest. Signaling his partner with a few yips, he closed in on it, moving in front to try and cut it off. He barely blinked out of the way in time as he attempted to run him over. He wheeled around and took off after it, trying again. This time he met success, as the bison cut hard to the right and loped off. It was pup's play after that. They chased it down, blinking around it back and forth, confusing it until it no longer moved, certain it was surrounded. Siarl lept towards the throat, his partner to the back of the neck. Two bites, and a few tears of flesh later, and they had felled it. Siarl licked the blood from his lips. It had been a good hunt. Not too challenging, but fun. He turned to see the rest of the party approaching. They had been unable to seperate one, and, as Siarl predicted, the smooth terrain had let the herd get away.
I have provided the meat. Will you allow us passage, and come to my aid?
The leader considered for a moment. Passage is granted. We will... come at your request. However, should one of us die helping you... there will be consequences. With that, they began feeding.
Siarl barked his thanks, melting away, reappearing a few hundred feet towards the village. He broke into a slow run, anxious. He had one more matter to attend to before morning. Teleporting when he could, he soon arrived at the Slipper Rock. He growled softly at the back door, guessing that the dire wolf would hear and come to investigate. He would request that the wolf tell him about this village. He needed to know as much about this group as possible. Since the tavern seemed to be its home, it made sense that the wolf would have this information. Siarl wondered breifly what it would take to obtain it.
Later on, his business at last concluded, Siarl made his way back to the shakri. He was unsurprised to find that Nadira had been given permission to journey. He found her resting, and laid beside her, catching what sleep he could. The next day, he was, as always, at her side, as the journey began

Subject: Siarl
Siarl paid close attention to the old man, noting every detail, every subtlety in his movements. This man was a master.
He listened attentively as the old half-elf describe the troubles of the village. As best as he could tell, the old man was accurate.. the village wasnt over-hunting. Siarl briefly wondered what the cause was, then decided that the quest he sensed coming would reveal it in due time, and worrying about such a thing was fruitless.
Siarl fought a snarl at the man's description of the Chindari plains, then composed himself. No outsider could ever truly understand the plains, no matter how they tried...
Siarl continued to watch the man. Andras's grace in combat was worthy of his heritage. The man would be an invaluable ally... and a deadly foe.
The man seemed to finish, pulling the cloth that had blinded him the last several minutes away. He turned and spoke, "As I am sure you all know, I plan on submitting my name to embark on this mission. I would welcome as much help as I can on this mission, but there is one condition. If any of you decide to join me in saving Falhill, I ask that somebody else take command on this mission. I am not interested in taking the leadership role; I have only been trained to cover the backs of those who were in my group. I am going to enrol early in the morning; I am hoping to see some of you there.”
Siarl stood at this, speaking to Nadira, Well Nadira? Are we going to join him? In truth, Siarl was against the idea. Surely, the Plains needed help of some kind, but this would be a dangerous hunt, and Siarl had doubts about his ability to keep Nadira safe from the Plains, and be able to watch these strangers all at once; but he would follow Nadira, as always.

Subject: My Next Story
Ok, so you guys seemed to like my first story. I attempted to write a prequel for you guys, but I wasnt feeling the vibe, and it came out like crap. My apologies, maybe next time. That said, I've got the vibe again, so there's a new story headed your way (unless you dont wanna read it of course). I've posted the summary here. If you like the way it sounds, give me a shout out... Its more motivation to write!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many generations have passed since Raina Orelon fought against the twisted sorceror, Dratarcan. In that time, the Elven people have begun to lose themselves. A puppet King sits upon the Elven throne. Humans began settling in Elven lands, and with them they brought greed, violence, and corruption.... all of the things common of such a short-sighted, short-lived race. With the flux of humans, common became the language of commerce, and so the language of the land, with Elven being relegated to dusty old tomes on the top shelves in the darkest corners of libraries.
It is into such a world that Aran and Amy are born. They are a raritiy among rarities, being not only Elves, but Elven twins. Although they know it not, they shall be the catalyst; the instrument of....
THE GREAT PURGE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Thats sounds a little cornier now than it did... but anyway... thoughts?

Subject: Siarl
Siarl tilts his head as he listens to Nadira.
"No, nothing unpleasant... just clearing things up."
His ears pick up as he hears someone else enter. One sniff is enough to tell that this patron is different. A cut above most of the other patrons. Siarl's curiosity is piqued, but he stays by Nadira. It wasn't their business. Not yet at least.
"Finally, someone who might know what's going on. Coming Siarl," he hears her ask.
"Of course, Nadira." He gets up and follows her, doing his best to insulate her from the crowd, which he could tell made her nervous. "Calm yourself. You have nothing to be worried over here," he told her.
Siarl sat at her feet as she began questioning the half-elf, listening attentively. Things would surely get dangerous soon, and the more he knew, the better he could protect Nadira.
