Oh so you are learning everything are you? Well I can help with current history and culture. I am good with current events and how we hope to progress, but as for old traditions and our language an elder would be better to talk to.
I can speak some of our native tongue, but with declining numbers, there is hardly anyone to keep up and practice with all the time. "
He scratched his ear, the blood red earring glinting in the light.
"I do not believe you will be in danger, but there is the risk of danger as much as anywhere else? Does that make sense?"

He didn't have to wander or ask about her whereabouts. Everyone here had their tongues wagging as apparently death and injury had everyone on edge. A new king was to be crowned and already there were whispers of perhaps this was a divine sign.
He listened as best he could as he walked straight for the healing area.
It was a sign indeed, but not for the reasons people were whispering about.
It was amazing no one questioned his presence....must have been the robes. Most just nodded to him and moved out of his way. He reached out with his magic and felt her in a nearby room.
As he approached the guards by her door gave him a look and stood in the way. He blinked but bowed.
"I come to check on the Lady Wren. I was sent by the citadel to offer prayers as she is a special being connected to the goddess."
And just to be sure he added a bit of command power in his speech.
They nodded and moved aside.
He nodded and entered the room. He saw her laying there and he quietly approached.

Wren shifted a bit and frowned harder as her dream took on a darker turn. She was moving through the corridors and hallways of the castle, the windows that lead to the outside still showing that endless white mist she was so used to. Her footsteps echoed in the silence around her, silence only broken by dark laughter that pursued her everywhere she went.
Then she was standing in her rooms again, the crossbow on the table with that dark bolt still on it and ready to fire. She could smell him there, actually smell his evil around her right before he grabbed her arms in a bruising grip, "He won't have you... No one will... I'll see to that..." he said in a dark whisper.
Then she was standing on the stage again, this time watching as the bolt came towards her. She felt the pain of the impact, looked down to see the dark fletching of the bolt sticking out of her chest. She saw her blood spreading into her gown around it...The bruises of hand prints formed on her upper arms as she slept, proving that she was having more than just a dream. In her weakened state and under the influence of healing herbs that were supposed to help her recover her energy, she couldn't wake from the dream that had turned into a nightmare...

 "True but I will have my aunt teach me something to keep my self safe" amity said with a nod, "I just never thought here of all places would get attack and people would die." She was starting to feel better as she thought of all she could learn when she went back to the drow kingdom with him. She would go take to her mother nd aunt later. "Thank you again for all of this" she said giving him one of her true smiles.

Red Gypsy He saw the movement of her closed eyes and could see the bruises appearing on her pale skin. He felt his anger swell as he knew who was behind it. He magically sealed the room and his magic a dark green almost black, fog came from his fingertips. It shot towards Wren and enveloped her, wrapping itself around her. It took several minutes as his magic seeped into her and then quickly in a coughing fit from her sleeping form, something black flew out of her body and landed on the floor. It wiggled and soon shot up and formed a male body. A man who looked much like himself except for the eyes and hair style stood before him. It grinned and looked around. He lowered his hand and looked at the darker man before him. "I told you not to interfere brother. She is under my protection." The newly formed man chuckled and shrugged.
"You can't tell me who I can play with. Besides.....how can she be under your protection when she hasn't even been 'under' you?"
He de solidified as his brother reached for him angrily. He reformed on the other side of the room. He slid a hand up and down his bare chest.
"Tsk tsk brother.... why Are you mad? You shouldn't be.....I didn't mean to 'impale' her before you did. Just sort of happened.....I got so excited and then....oooooohhhh......bliss as I 'pierced' her. Her scream made me shiver in delight."
He grinned as he looked at his brother.
"Come now Rowan....we can share and you know I hate it when you are selfish."
Rowan approached his brother his magic crackling in the air. "Ravor.....this is my only warning for you. You keep your gaze elsewhere. She accepted my 'gift' and is under my protection. If you cross me, I will make you sorry." Ravor, gave his brother a dark look.
"You're full of it. I will have her, whether you want me to or not. And if I can't have her....you sure as hell won't either. I felt her first....her magic called to me first....not you. Remember that.
Ravor smiled slowly.
"Well since I have already had the pleasure of 'touching' her, I take my leave for now. Oh and don't think you can do anything to stop me from invading her again.....my mark is already upon her body. Check it out.He vanished with a sinister laugh as Rowen went to grab for him. Rowen didn't like the sound of that and pulled off the blanket to check Wren's body.

Aeriolous bowed his head to her and stood up. It was good to see her smile. He could see why his brother was head in and over heels in love. She was beautiful when she smiled.
"No need to thank me. I think it is good someone such as yourself wants to learn my people's history."

"Your are family no matter what many say" amity said getting up, "It dose no matter if your skin is pale or dark, or where you live or what your history is. We all came from the same place and all have a connection to the goddess. Were all elevn one way or another." She cuddled Malag one more time before heading her to Aeriolous. "That one reason I loved your brother. He did not see my as a light elf" she said looking in her eyes, "He saw me as me nothing else and h wanted to love and protect that. I want to learn all I can so I can use it to help are people make peace with all" Hearing something from the main room she wondered if everything was all right out there.

Wren's body was pale and nearly perfect under his gaze. She only had the tattoo of her personal symbol on her hip and a star shaped scar over her heart where the crossbow bolt had pierced her, then the bruises on her arms. She started to shiver as her sleep calmed under the influence of the herbs. Then she shifted and revealed another mark on her opposite hip, another hand print. But this one carried a faint energy to it that would be all to familiar to him. How she'd gotten it was curious. Even as it revealed itself, it faded from sight yet the energy signature remained, revealing why Wren had never noticed it. There was something about that print, though, and its placement. She could only have gotten it in her sleep, after all, especially in such an intimate spot...

Rowan shook his head as he had no idea how she had gotten the print on her opposite hip. He covered her with the blanket and scratched his head as he moved away.
The signature was familiar...almost like his own.....
He placed wards in the room and looked her over.
".......I am just as selfish as Ravor......"
he whispered to himself.

Aeriolous took Malag from Amity as the feline was handed over gently.
It had been a long....and he meant long time, since someone said that all elves were family....including his clan.
It had been something that always needled him. Just because his clan was dark....had dark skin, dark eyes, and magic unlike the rest of the clans out there, that made them outcasts.
To hear such a statement from a light pale skinned elf, was refreshing and it made him smile some."If only more thought like you....oh well. Perhaps in time."

Another figure appeared in the room, briefly surrounded by the soft green mist that was her signature. When that faced, she was as she'd been in the temple, hair braided and wearing fighting leathers and weapons. But her gaze when she saw him was kindness itself.
"Nonsense, Brother... You are not selfish to want her... She is beautiful and desirable, even if she doesn't know it. You love her. that is vastly different from what Ravor wants with her. He simply wants to take her away from you, to deny you what you have waited an eternity for," she told him in her soft voice.
Now she approached him and put her arms around his waist from behind, automatically shifting to the Maiden in the process and bringing the scent of spring and new life with her.
"She has accepted you, Rowan. She was made to love you. She just doesn't know what love is. I can tell from that mark that I can feel that he slipped into her rooms while she was asleep and vulnerable to place it there, to shake you and cause you to question yourself. You can remove that mark easily and you know it. Trust yourself as I trust your heart," she told him before moving around him to face him, wearing a flowing gown the color of new spring grass with her dark hair falling to her knees behind her and smiled up at him as she cupped his cheek gently.
"Please, Brother... You know what he is like, what he wants... Go to her with peace in your heart and deny him the victory," she added in a soft whisper before placing a gentle kiss on his cheek.
She let go of him to cross to Wren and placed a hand gently on her forehead, "I cannot remove the mark from her for that is your task. But I can restore her energy and allow her to wake for you. The choice is yours," she told him more firmly. He alone knew the limitations they faced, how much they could and couldn't do. Just as much as they both knew what their brother was intending to do...

As his sister appeared and spoke to him he listened to her and was glad she was rationale. Talking with her always soothed his mind and calmed his heart as he was about to go chasing after their brother and kill him for placing that mark on a place he had no business touching.
"I will remove the mark....yes. I will remove what does not belong there off."
He leaned back into his sibling as she wrapped her arms around him from behind.
It was true he had waited an eternity for her...sometimes knowing that one day he would meet her, kept his dreams simple and his mind clear so he could keep himself and Ravor in that dreamscape so Ravor would not cause trouble and serve his punishment for his last offense properly.
As she cupped his cheek and looked into his eyes he looked at his sibling and knew why she was the most revered. The kindness and love with the promise of the future, always shone through even when things were getting dark.
".....wait for me to remove the mark....then wake her. "

She gave him a smile and stepped back from Wren to move over to place her hand on his cheek gently, "I will leave you to that then, brother. She will not wake until you are finished, I promise you," she told him softly and gave him another kiss on his cheek before stepping away from him, "It is good to see you again," she added with a whisper before she faded from sight.
She was the only one of the three of them to never receive a true name that others used, something that had bothered her in the past. But Rowan had been the one to help her see past a name and simply be who she was. She couldn't help but see the good in him as well as the warrior god he was. She also knew that he was a fitting companion for the elf he'd come to care for. Wren looked healthier almost instantly though she didn't wake yet as his sister kept her promise to him. She shivered under the blanket again and shifted away from the side of her body that held that mark, her body's instinct showing she had no desire to have it infecting her any more than Rowan did...

He hugged his sister and bowed to her.
"It is good to see you too sister. It has been far too long."
As his sister left, he looked down at Wren and turned her body towards him so he could break the spell mark Ravor had left for him. He could have simply placed his hand on her hip and sent the mark away by breaking its hold but then he got an idea and smirked inwardly.
"Watch this Ravor, and know she is mine."
He leaned down and over and placed his lips to her hip and kissed it, breaking the mark of Ravor off. When it was gone, he stood up and covered her before he had any other thoughts.

Wren gave a soft moan as he kissed her hip, reacting to him where she hadn't reacted to anyone else so far. As soon as he'd moved away from her and covered her, she started to wake up. She frowned at first, her eyes still closed. Then she sat up with a gasp, her hand over the new scar on her chest as she looked around the room a bit frantically for a moment. Until her golden eyes rested on the man in the room with her. She hesitated a brief moment, her black hair settling behind her. For some strange reason, she felt that she knew him even though she'd never seen him before. Her eyes moved over to the gown she'd worn earlier, cleaned and repaired by the kings mother before she'd left, then moved back to him with a small frown on her face. She opened her mouth to say something but hesitated before she actually spoke, her musical voice restored by the goddess' power, "Do I know you?" she asked him softly, unable to shake the feeling that she knew him.
