[Daren]

After waiting what felt like forever the bird seemed to return and that meant the message was delivered. Now if she trusted the word of a bird or not was another story, just this once she needed to listen to such a off the wall request. Sure it could have been a trap and in truth it sort of was, just not for Emily. Not like hell he was going to go about chasing them through the forest when they would have to return to their horses if they expected to cover any amount of ground.

Releasing the creature from the spell it buried itself once more before the remainder of the energy left it's body. now to wait once more. The yelling he had heard in the distance seemed to stop so maybe they had found Emily again. This would not happen a second time, he'd have to keep a eye open for puppets, something he thought he'd never have to deal with again. Twisted beings... he thought to himself to use the freshly made corpse of another. At the least if he summoned something from the grave he made sure it returned and that it's spirit moved on, as much respect as he could muster with such acts.

Though he was brought from his thoughts as he started to hear footsteps, they seemed to be heading this way and were getting closer by the minute. If all was well Emily was with them and it was the ones he had been looking for that took her in the first place. He was going to get his answers, but not before he reminded this little magic user that they had messed with the wrong person. He almost felt guilty that he was going to enjoy this, but at the same time it was probably the Queen's forces so he didn't feel any real pity for them.

A little longer and the two that had Emily were in view, from the looks of it she was a little scuffed up but that could have happened during her attempt to flee from the two. He wasn't going to give the two of them a chance to notice his presence and get the first move in, oh no not when he wanted answers and Emily was still too close to them for comfort. Extending a hand quickly a faint glow appeared in his palm as the larger of the two seemed to freeze in his tracks with a sudden cracking sound as his grip on Emily's shoulder that was preventing her from running before released in the same instant.

She was free to go about how she pleased now and the cracking noise was soon reviled as a bone snapping in the larger of the two captives arm. Though Alton was hardly taking his eyes off the smaller one, the woman he could easily tell she was the one behind the puppets. "I'd advise you to give me answers before you really tick me off... I don't even have to ask them you already know what answers I'm speaking of." He warned her still keeping his hand extended as the faint glow flickered a bit growing larger and pulling in strands of red from the air or so it seemed.

Sure she could try to fight him or refuse but something probably could easily tell her he wouldn't think twice on killing either of them seeing as they had just kidnapped Emily and had forced him to chase them all the way out here. Also if she refused to talk in life he could easily do a similar trick she had done and get the answers he sought in her death.
