[gremlin]

( That's fine, I like it. That's why I made it her brother, thought that it would be a good twist. <3 )

Judith watched the shadows that surrounded her, her heart jumped whenever she saw a sudden movement. Then she would discover that it was only the wind pushing the trees and bushes around. She regretted coming to the forest so early in the morning, but figured that her chances of encountering a Dark Elf would be slim because they preferred to come out at night. Though only in a few moments she would realise that she was very wrong.

Her ears shot up as she heard a familiar voice suddenly, her body tensed and she turned around without hesitation. Judith's eyes grew with curiosity. Why was he hanging there like that? She could easily kill him or take advantage of him. But she wouldn't, she didn't want to be the first one to strike. If he made any motion to harm her, then she would fight back with all of her strength. This time would be different, she hoped. From all of her tedious training.

"Rose?" she said under her breath. "You have given me a nickname?" she almost seemed to be teasing him. Like a boy would tease another for liking a girl. Her arms stayed firmly by her sides, she readied her right arm to release her dagger if needed. "What should I call you?" she couldn't help but smile.

Judith's smile disappeared as she turned her head to the left slightly, she had heard a rather loud thud and examined the area. Had this Dark Elf brought along friends this time? Was he distracting her while the others made their way to her? Her eyes narrowed and she looked back at the Dark Elf that stood in front of her. "Did you bring your friends with you?" she asked.

"What are you doing?"

Her heart jumped as she heard another voice. She turned her entire body to the direction that she had heard it from. Her eyes landed on a man with short, messy, red hair. His eyes were as white as hers. His skin was as fair as hers and he was only a few inches taller due to his gender. Her brother.

Brishen brought his cold eyes from Judith to the dark elf. He couldn't help but sigh as he saw the two standing there not at each other's throats. "Are you trying to make friends with the enemy like you did when you were a child?" he asked, taunting her. She had always done that as a child. He hated it. Brishen could not understand why Judith had no hatred for the Dark Elves. In his mind they were nothing but violent, disgusting vermin that needed to be exterminated. "You're an idiot, look at you trembling." he spat in disgust. "I don't understand why the elders sent you to war, how many have you let go? How many did you talk to?" the thought of a Dark Elf and a Light Elf getting along made him feel sick. "You forget what they have done to us, sister."
