Eillaf

Eillaf recovered silently on the bank, while Aurelian went off. He slowly stood up as he heard a man voice ringing out in the forest. He had already encountered thieves. Eillaf fell back on to the grass. His side where the violet light hit him was throbbing in pain but he couldn’t see what exactly was wrong, just a giant swelling of purple and red. He propped himself up again. He could see his ghost friend setting patiently waiting between him and were the voice came from. The man had a voice aimed in Eillafs direction. Aurelian’s voice popped up in his mind “… I think he can see me?” Aureian watched the man through curious eyes. It seemed as though his arrow was aimed at him and not the boy. “ Listen boy, he doesn’t have a reason to suspect that you’re a thief don’t give him one.” The beast warned him narrowing his eyes on Eillaf. The boys mind was on other things however he was coherent enough to understand some one was threatening his life. He raised his hands in a gesture of innocence, stepping out into the clearing so he could get a better look at the man that was aiming at him. “No!” Eillaf answered. Afterwards his body coughed up some water still hiding in his longs. He stared at the man. He didn’t look like the one from the fog. “Do you mean the wagon?” he asked, was this the man that destroyed the area he pilfered earlier?
