He had heard reports of a few archers in the area over the next few weeks though none of them seemed to be the one he had aimed to stalk for the time being. He guessed she had remained at her base or had given up whatever reason she had to be out here in the first place. Shame though he thought to himself she was a bit of fun compared to most he had crossed blades with. Though he comment saying there was good in him still stung like a dagger into his chest, he didn't want to hear such words from his enemy no matter how much they disliked bloodshed .. or even if it was a rather good looking female. Maybe he should have just placed a dagger in her back when she was walking away to save himself the trouble of thinking so much on the encounter.
Though he had kept it to himself as he did with most of his kills or pray as his kind called them. No one seemed to bother him over all, he got new orders to enter a different section of forest then the one he normally patrolled. Not that he hardly cared he had spent the last few weeks in the same area picking off one light elf after another with ease, but at the same time he grew bored of such tactics.
He kept his breathing silent as he moved through the forest, the rising sun was making it a little harder to see then he would have liked but the forest kept most things in shadow to his advantage. He had taken notice that a few things were out of place like a branch moved as if someone had passed through here recently. He grinned a bit thinking his next kill might be sooner then he expected, maybe even a challenge.
Following what small trail there was to follow he quickly found what he had been stalking making him grin all the more before taking to one of the near-by trees and climbing it to keep a eye on the girl. It seemed to be the one from before with the crimson hair. She seemed to notice what little noise he had made in his climb, this made this little game he was turning this into all the better or at least that's what he thought.
He kept following her keeping a few trees ahead of her easily and staying out of sight in the shadows, she seemed quick enough to pick up on each of his movements he'd have to watch her or she'd have a arrow in his neck. The longer this went on she seemed to get a little edgy onto the fact someone was following her by now. Being on a slightly smaller tree then the recent ones he finally dropped to a lower branch before fixing himself to hang down a few feet in front of her, though being upside down hardly put him at a disadvantage and at this range a dagger would be just as deadly as a arrow.
"Well if it isn't the little rose from before." He said aloud keeping a sort of smug look on his face staying where he was for a moment before releasing himself and dropping to the ground almost gracefully. Having never gotten her name from before and not really caring to do so he'd giving her a rather fitting name or at least he thought. A beauty with thorns seemed fitting enough in his book. "I said we'd cross paths again didn't I" Though he hardly remembered he had also warned her the next encounter wouldn't be as pleasant and he didn't even have a weapon that was visible drawn. Nor did he know about her training, she could be completely different by now for all he knew but he'd risk it for a good thrill at the least.
In truth he didn't have time to really play around with her today. He had been sent to this location to take care of a rather annoying light elf that seemed to get the best of most of his kind that crossed paths with him. Though he'd hardly expect that the elf he was sent to kill today was her own brother...
((been dying to try and get him to fight her brother for some reason or another so here my excuse xD))
