Awèsyiss shrugged, "I'll see what I can do Niku. It will probably be easier without what's-his-face bothering you all the time. The sun will rise soon, so I would suggest eating quickly then getting some rest. I could wake you up sometime midday if you'd like? It's probably best to do this after you've rested."

[Bovice]

"It will be." Niku said placing another piece of meat on the grass. "My men will take care of the rest. We don't sleep long, only two or three hours at most." He said as he went to a tree to get some wood. "It shouldn't take long to transform back." He said as he set the wood up in a teepee formation. He quickly started the fire and put the meat over it. "It will be nice to see my family again." Niku said with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

She nodded, "I bet it will be nice..." She lay down, resting her head on folded paws, "I obviously will not be joining you for that. All three of my forms are rather..hated, by the Elves." She moved her tail, wrapping it around and letting the tip lay over her nose. "But you know, that's quite alright with me. At least, when I need to get into a town or city for whatever reason, I can do so without being killed on sight..."

[Bovice]

"At least that is good." Niku said turning the meat. "I just hope my family doesn't hate me." He said leaning back on his hands. "And I will miss this tranquility." He said looking over to Awèsyiss. "When this war is over maybe you can meet them." He said looking up at the sky. "But first, I have to find out what started this war." Niku said closing his eyes.

[Evil Tink]

Awèsyiss shook her head, "And that I will pass on, unfortunately. Even after the war ends, the hate will remain for centuries." She curled the tip of her tail in a few random patterns, watching it boredly. "Be careful, the wind is going to gust soon...you better make sure the fire doesn't catch on something." Seconds later, a slight gust of wind came by for awhile before dissipating.

[Bovice]

"That is very true." Niku said with a small sigh. "I know I feel it." He said leaning forward and watching the fire intently. "There, everything is fine." He said grabbing the meat. "And it is done." Niku said taking a bite.

[Evil Tink]

Awèsyiss sighed, closing her eyes and taking a light nap. Throughout the course of the night, her tail often twitched and she rolled onto one side or the other. She was a very..active sleeper.

It was not long until she could feel the sun coming over the horizon, barely breaking through the dense trees and warming her fur. It was a nice way to wake up, that's for sure. She lay there for a moment as the sun continued to rise. After quite some time, she stood and stretched out, looking for Niku. Not seeing him, she assumed he was in his tent and so she walked over, poking her head inside, "Niku?"

[Bovice]

"Coming." Niku said as he came walking out of a blocked off area. He finished buttoning his green shirt, "How do I look?" He asked as he did a little twirl. I'm surprised I kept my high elf clothing." He said with a little chuckle. He walked over to Awèsyiss and rubbed her head, "I don't know why but I am in a great mood today." Niku said as he walked out of the tent.

[Evil Tink]

She blinked, rather stunned, "You look good." She stepped away from the tent to allow him out, "Come on, I know a good place for you..it's really peaceful. Oh! Question for you, how much to High Elves dislike the Dark Elves? If it's just a glare here and there, I could accompany you into the main City. My bi-pedal form resembles a Dark Elf or Drow. I've been meaning to check out some of the Elven necklaces~ They make wonderful bartering tools with the Gnomes."

[Bovice]

"Usually it is just glares, but if you bump into a high elf they will do something and vice versa. But if you bump into a dark elf and you look like one they wont do anything, and again vice versa." Niku said following her. "They do, I have had to barter some of my jewelry to them. This is one thing I didn't barter though." He said as he pulled a ring out of his pocket and put it on his finger. "My wedding ring." Niku said with a small smile.

[Evil Tink]

"I would certainly hope you didn't barter that. If you'll excuse me.." She turned her body and bounded off, in a similar manner of how she exited his tent hours ago. It wasn't until sometime later that there was activity in the brush.

Seconds later, a tall woman stepped from the dense forest brush. She had dark violet skin, that, upon close inspection, was covered in many tiny, tiny scales. Her black hair was tied back in a half-ponytail manner with a jeweled piece that allowed her triple horn crown to show, and ran halfway down her back. Her bright violet eyes, which glowed ever so softly, had slightly curved slits that were a deeper violet than her eyes. Her ears, which were pointed and spiked on the bottom were pierced with many various pieces of jewelery. Other than her overall appearance, her cloak was her most unique feature. It appeared to be made out of a strange leather with tiny little spikes at the end in even spaces from each other; no seams could be seen in the strange piece.

As she stepped forward, she was in the process of lacing up the front of her corset, her gloves draped over her shoulder, "Much better. Been awhile since I actually used my vocal chords." She pulled one glove off her shoulder and pulled it on, then the other. She bent forward, checking that her sword was securely sheathed on the side between the armor of her shin and the leather sleeve; the chain wrapping up her leg until it connected with the bottom strap for her dagger. "I'm sorry it took me so long, I had stored my weapons and clothes quite a distance away."

[Bovice]

"I didn't mind, the sun isn't fully over the tree's yet so the sunlight isn't bothering me yet." Niku said with a smile. "When we get back to my father's land I need to stop and pick up a necklace for me and Raina." He said as he ripped the dark elf necklace off of his neck. "If you wish to barter this you can. It is dark elf jewelry, but there isn't much difference between the two." Niku said showing the star shaped necklace with a black stone in the center to Awèsyiss.

[Evil Tink]

Awèsyiss snatched the necklace from him, examining it with her violet eyes, "It might be worth something to them, but they do prefer High Elf jewelery. Nonetheless, thank you." She clipped it to one of the links on the chain of her sword, wrapping it a bit so it wouldn't cause much noise, "Now come on, it's not too far from here." She turned, lifting her hand in a motion for him to follow as she walked. "What if she hasn't forgiven you? What will you do then?"

[Bovice]

Niku nodded and followed her, he quickly sped up so he was right next to her. "She keeps using the tree's to tell me that she forgives me." He said hoping it was true. "She has a strong connection with the trees, just like I did with the earth." He said with a small sigh. "Now my children on the other hand, I don't know what they will do." Niku said wincing as the sun finally broke over the tree line.

[Evil Tink]

She nodded, "At least you know she still loves you." She shrugged a bit as they continued. Soon coming upon a small clearing. She displayed the clearing with her hands, "This shall suffice, hm?" She stepped aside, "If you'd like me to leave you alone for awhile, I can do that. I will also keep all other distractions away." She paused mid turn. Why was she helping this man? He obviously could not stop this war between their races. She sighed a bit, placing her hands on her hips with slight annoyance.

[Bovice]

"It shall." Niku said as he walked to the middle of the clearing and sat down cross legged. "You don't have to go if you don't want to. The change will only take a few minutes." He said closing his eyes. He raised his arms, "Ai tar ol o, si mosor os si aes, shol, sharaes, thosi, si'm, eil eilostar. Ai shor sai vaeres teiraer sai si condraer os si aelaer. (I call on you, the spirits of the earth, wind, water, fire, tree's, and animals. I wish to return myself to the highness of the elves.)" He said in elfish. "Ai vaelyli si pas eil saji si si jhol. (I renounce the dark and take the light.)" Niku said as his body shook violently.

He fell to his back as his skin started to turn to it high elf color. His hair grew long and turned blonde. His eyes turned to a light green, and his form beefed up. He opened his eyes and grabbed his head as the voices of the tree's and animals came into it. He closed his eyes and calmed his mind, soon the voices were gone. He opened them and stood up weakly, "It is weird to be tall again. And my hair, ha." Niku said looking to Awèsyiss.
