Eillaf

Eillaf listened to the distorted version of his companion’s voice. There was something about the purple glow that made his entire body writhe with a small pulsing pain. You can pull through kiddo! He let in a deep sharp breathe, opening his eyes to the light of the day as his head bobbed above the water. He could see Aurelian floating just above the current. He had so many questions, that his mind was a frantic mess, not really able to concentrate on swimming. His head dipped below the current invading his lungs with water, which he frantically spat back out. Eillaf! Eillaf! He resurfaced once again to note his surroundings quickly passing by him. Eillaf calm down, the current is tapering off up ahead, you should be able to swim to shore. It was nice to know he wasn’t alone.

Vaguely aware of what he was doing his body seemed to have slip control from him. Relax Eillaf and let me take over.

Aurelian hauled the small body up into the branch, crawling on to the grassy shore before leaving Eillafs body. The ghost left the boy panting to go search for supplies near by. As he came around the tree, a few yards away as he saw a darkened figure with long hair tending to yet another fallen person. He pondered as to how to get the attention of the young Elf, and even if he did would help the child with his impure blood? Aurelian had no way of knowing how the violent light affected Eillaf. Anxiously he made his way towards the two people
