Thorns and Claws
Four years had passed from when the kingdom was attacked and over thrown. Most were slaughtered or accented the new King as their ruler to prevent further bloodshed. Though others were not as willing to accept this fate as the small force that Felix and Thalion was apart of soon became the heart of a growing rebellion group. Anyone who wanted to fight or remain free from the tyrant king's rule joined this force. Though most who joined kept such joining a secret.
It was a force to be dealt with or at the least the units of it that could fight. Though they were spread out a little they were still close enough together that if word was sent a good sized army would be formed within a day or so in time. There was also the main camp that was well hidden in the plains. Along the cliffs were drakes and griffins were the bigger threat then some rebel fighters. Plus the entrance was hidden by magic as well. So the odds of finding something you didn't know was there was rather slim.
But today had been a normal day more or less. Over the past few years Thalion had settled into a job to keep from having to sign up as a fighter. Though Felix dragged him along on any scouting mission he could. Either way it paid for anything that was needed so he was hardly going to complain. Well anything he or Neimi needed seeing as he seemed to get stuck with the human child after saving her that one day. Over the past few years he grew kind of attached to her though. Though maybe because she made sure she was hard to be ignored.
Though as it got later into the night he huffed a little before grabbing his blades and walking out of the shop part of the building they were living in for now. Normally the two of them stuck with Felix's group that he traveled with. So once in a while they did move around. Not that he complained, work or at least the type he did was easy to come by. Especially with the Eastern King killing off villages or destroying them.
Walking through the forest he didn't bother getting a light or anything, hardly needed it. He thanked his race for that and that alone. Being about to see in the dark when you had a over curious young girl that liked to run off had been a blessing quite a few times. So tonight was no different. Least he thought anyway.
"Blasted girl..." He hissed a little to himself. "I tell her to get firewood and to come straight back, was that so damned hard to do? Just one time!" He sighed a little as he kept walking. Lord knew what she was distracted by this time. Some new glowing creature or plant probably. Or some new area she discovered. Though he couldn't fault her really she wasn't that old, still being only eleven years of age. Not like she had to stay confined to the village but he did wish she'd tell him before she ran off.
Though after walking a bit he froze having noticed a odd light. That wasn't normal. Though what made him worry more was the fact that Neimi seemed to back up into a tree as the light got brighter in the area. "Damn it.." He hissed before running to her side and grabbing her shoulder a bit roughly before pushing her. "Run now." He snapped at her already having a blade drawn. "Thal?!" She squeaked a little before he pointed towards the village.
She didn't ask any further questions as she quickly ran off. He was prepared to try and stop whatever this was or whoever this was if they decided to target the girl. By now he learned ask questions later with most things that you were unsure of and a strange light fell under this. Though there was something about this being.. he knew he wasn't a match for it and yet he was still standing here like a idiot like he could stop this person from doing whatever they wanted.
