Part of the message did get through so there would be a small gathering of dark elves waiting for the light elves.. though the two sides hardly knew they were about to have a small battle between them both thinking they had the upper hand. It was nearly morning again before Rhyldrin came back to. 'damn... how long was I out..' He hissed a little rubbing his head, it felt like a few hours at least but the time said otherwise.
The general's plan was to ambush the girl to get at Rhyldrin.. so the plan was set for day light hours oddly enough. Though it was easy to tell something was going on.. the camp was empty minus a few that were left behind even the general was still gone. this fact annoyed Rhyldrin as he walked to one of the higher ranked soldiers left here and quickly grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against a tree. "Your going to talk and now" He hissed at him his ears back.
The man struggled to free himself and the few others started to walk towards Rhyldrin to make him stop but they didn't get close enough before he spoke again. "Don't think I won't snap his neck, there's still three or four of you here I'll get the information I want in some form or another.. even if its from the last breath of a corpse choking on blood." The threat seemed to work, as it should it was far from a empty one.
"Now speak.. what the hell is going on" The man didn't talk at first but Rhyldrin reminded him his life was seconds from ending. "ac... there's a plan.. they were ... t-talking" He choked out slowly, Rhyldrin released the man's neck a little so he could speak better. "well go on" he snapped.
"there was a plan to capture someone, apparently they were important they were going to use the person as leverage or something I don't know anything further it was kept among the higher ranks" He seemed to be telling the truth. Rhyldrin released him before storming past him. 'tsk... i warned them yet they still cross me?'
The solider was recovering and he certainly wasn't about to follow after Rhyldrin, not after having crossed such a fine line with the mercenary. The others looked at him before helping him stand back up as he coughed and regained him breath. The few at the camp seemed confused as to what just pissed Rhyldrin off.
Even from the lack on information he feared that Judith may be in trouble if she kept to her word and was going to return to the same spot.. It took a few hours to get to where he had run into her again from yesterday it seemed empty for the time being.. that was good at the least. Though he quickly went about looking for this general who seemed to have a bone to pick with him.
He was exceptionally good at staying hidden and stalking his target for a swift kill.. though it was hard to do a single strike to kill a general. After finding his target he waited till he was sure he wasn't spotted, as far as he could tell it was just this small group of dark elves here.. did they really need this many for just the girl. 'tsk cowards' he thought as he worked his way to being closer to his target.
When he had a good striking distance he took it as a sudden sound of steel upon steel could be heard in the silent forest. "Seems that drug wore off" The man laughed a bit trying to force Rhyldrin back but he wasn't getting anywhere with it. "Tsk I warned you to stay out of my way!" He growled at him he was hardly amused with the idea that he had been drugged but it explained why his head was killing him and the fact he didn't remember falling asleep.
sure if he knew that the light elves had taken out one of the scouts he wouldn't be willingly fighting his own, but he was rather pissed though now with more then one reason. "you should have stuck to following orders Rhyldrin, but instead you had to go off and do your own thing" The man grinned a bit "but this proves you have a weakness now doesn't it...seems that report I got wasn't as far fetched as I thought."
"tsk your not going to live long enough to make use of the information" he hissed out at him before breaking the blade lock and forcing the man against a tree, shortly afterwards he grabbed the back of his head and slammed it downwards as the man's face met his knee. This forced the man to lose his focus as he held one hand on his broken nose with blood running down his face and hand. "what side are you on, your not fighting for them and your fighting your own what the hell are you thinking?" Was the mans yell at him.
Rhyldrin hardly cared as he laughed slightly. "I fight for myself, if I wanted to be a damn lap dog I'd have joined the military." this comment made the general angry again as he charged forward swinging his blade violently trying to land a blow, though most of them were out of a mad rage and were missing horribly.
