Elarinya had started to wander towards where she thought the voice had come from. North, maybe? This forest was completely alien to her, which was saying something considering she was a Forest Elf. Suddenly, as if by magic, a pale fae lady appeared right in front of her. She instinctively reached for her knife sheathed at her hip, but then stopped as she sensed no ill intent. At the lady's soft, musical voice, Elarinya cleared her throat to make sure her own voice hadn't deserted her.
"Where are we going?" she asked.

Ealpha smiled warmly as she continued to hold out her hand as she said, “To a safe place where no harm can come to you and you will be able to find rest. Please take my hand so I may lead you to the Haven. There is another I must return to with haste.” The expression on her face was one of pleading. Ealpha couldn’t possibly leave the young creature in the forest even if she was already with in the veil and therefore safe. Her mind wandered back to the male she had found and healed only moments ago.

Elarinya looked from the fae lady's pleading expression to her outstretched hand. Her voice sound almost desperate. She wondered why. Against her wolf side's instinct to flee, she clasped the lady's hand. She was ready to face whatever was thrown at her, whether it was a horde of bloodthirsty foes or a warm feather bed.

Ealpha smiled before whistling loudly. Shortly after her whistle one of her deer friends that had helped her previously bounded over to them. Ealpha rubbed the buck's head between his head lovingly. She then clasped the hand of the young elf and swung her over onto the back of buck with ease. Ealpha smiled up at the young female and spoke sweetly, "This is my friend and he will take you. Hold on gingerly please for he is doing us a service." Once she was finished speaking she lifted her feet from the ground and took off in the direction of the grounds with the buck in tow. She weaved and bobbed through the trees until she entered the grounds of the Haven. In a short minute she arrived back at the gardens next to the pond just outside of her humble abode and a short path leading back to the Haven itself. When the buck arrived with the young elf she helped her newest companion off it's back and promptly kissed his nose before he returned to the woods. She smiled at the elf and held out her arms as if presenting the Haven. "This is the Haven and I am it's keeper Ealpha. We are in the gardens and over there is my personal home. Down the path is the small castle where you can find many things. You can find a place to sleep in the tower, have something to drink or eat in the tavern or clean yourself in one of the many bathrooms that are available. You are welcome to go explore or stay with me if you wish but first I must tend to the other." with that she turned briskly on her heel and walked away.

She walked gingerly over to the young male who appeared to be more than cold. Her smile was soft and her voice calming when she said, "I see that you are alive though I knew you would be. If you'll allow me I will gladly escort you into the castle. I'm sure we will find everything you need in there." Ealpha extended her hand to the young male hoping he wasn't terribly bewildered.

Ronove looked up when he saw figures approaching. His red eyes tried to show some kind of strength yet his ordeal was clearly so great as to have drained him. "I... I'm... r...r... really cold..." He said shivering instead of reaching out towards her. Ronove unfortunately had no idea where he was, or in fact how he got here. The last thing he could recall was that the ship he had previously been on was attacked by a Kraken.

The tentacle of the creature had hit him so hard he went flying into the water unconscious. Opening his damp shirt he looked at his healing but bruised chest before looking up at the woman. "Who... who are you?" He asked looking to the woman in front of him.

The fae lady whistled and a young white buck bounded out of the forest. She suddenly found her mouth watering. But she swallowed quickly and turned to the lady, who swung her up onto the creature's back using her clasped hand. She was stronger than she looked to be able to lift Elarinya, her full pack, and heavy boots. A trait she obviously shared with the deer, because with it's spindly legs it didn't look strong enough to even carry a child.
The lady explained that the buck was her friend. Definitely not for eating then, Elarinya thought wryly. The lady also said that the buck would take her somewhere. She opened her mouth to ask where, when the buck started to run. Elarinya held on for dear life but tried to be gentle as the lady had asked, but it was difficult; the buck's gait was so different to a horse's, which she was used to.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at their destination. She nearly fell off the deer as it slid to a halt but managed to keep her seat. The lady helped her off the deer and Elarinya took note of her surroundings. They were in a garden, as much as she could figure, different to an elvish garden but lovely all the same. Elarinya could see herself relaxing in this spot. The lady introduced herself as Ealpha and explained that there was a castle where could find everything she needed. She thanked Ealpha and took the path to the castle.
Elarinya soon found what looked to be the place; large tower, battlements, quaint little tavern. She opened the door to the tower. A long corridor with lots of doors at spaced intervals greeted her, like in a human inn, so guessed this must be where all the guest rooms were. She wandered along the hallway a bit and stopped at the room marked with the number 7. She opened the door and smiled. After weeks of camping rough, there was a bed. She threw her pack in a corner, kicked off her boots and crawled into the bed without taking her clothes off.

It was obvious that Ealpha would have to do some more explaining before gaining any ground with Ronove. She no longer had the energy to remain standing so she carefully sat down in front of him tucking her legs to the side and underneath her body. Suddenly startled she whirled her head around to see that her rabbit friend had rejoined her. They seem to have communicated silently before the rabbit hopped lazily down the path to the castle. The rabbit returned with a very large fleece blanket hovering over its head. Eaplha took the blanket and cast it over Ronove then tied the ends in a knot so it held. She smiled when she spoke, “That should help the cold. My name is Ealpha and you have entered the Haven. It is a safe place protected by the veil, and the guardian. The veil allows those who are in need and worthy of salvation or protection to come here. You are welcome to stay or go, but the likelihood of being able to return is slim to none. My job here is to keep things, as they should be. I am sure you have noticed that you are not dead and that brings me to my other job. I have the power of life. I can heal any wound or bring someone back from the brink of death.” Once her speech was finished she had realized that she had moved onto her knees and using her hands to explain. Well, that’s not embarrassing at all. She slowly sat back down tucking her legs gracefully underneath her body again. She gasped rather loudly when she felt a twig poke her thigh. She looked around the hem of her dress to find it sticking through one of the small holes in the lace trim. She smiled sheepishly while her cheeks flushed slightly. Ealpha quickly snapped the twig, threw the pieces over her shoulder and inspected her hem to make sure there was no damage.

Ronove was moderately impressed by the magical blanket yet said nothing through out the lady's speech. Watching closely as she moved to her knees and even watched her hand gestures. Finally the male spoke out. "Ya know what...? He spoke in his cheerful tone. "You're awfully pretty."

And that was the shallowness of Ronove. He loved 'pretty' things. Be it living, dead or otherwise. Watching as she threw the stick away he flashed a charming smile, holding his hand out he ignited a flame on his palm for warmth. "So, i washed up here then? That's lucky."

Ealpha smiled at the compliment before she spoke,"Thank you." She almost never given a compliment after all she did live in the Haven alone until now. And before that she was always running from a witch who was relentlessly hunting her. There isn't much time for conversations with strangers when you're running for your life. Her eyes widened as the flame appeared in his palm. Even though she was a fae her sensing powers were limited to only knowing when she was needed or needed to run away. However since she had been alone for so long she doubted she could sense anything anymore. She smiled warmly before she responded by saying, "I suppose you were. How are you feeling?" Ealpha tilted her head ever so slightly at the end of her question and waited patiently for his reply.

"I'm not too fond of the cold..." He complained wrinkling his nose to show an outward display of his distaste. "However, I can't imagine being dead is much fun either." Shaking his damp hair he swiftly combed through it with his spare hand, all the while keeping the flame close to himself, yet not close enough to set himself alight.

Watching as the woman's eyes widened he chuckled. "My father is a fire demon, my mother..." Ronove paused for a moment. "...she was a human, but she's gone now. Father says I look a lot like her." Ronove looked towards the flame. "I'm not going to hurt you. You saved my life. For that... I guess I'll kick around and help you out for a while. It's not exactly like I know where I am."

She nodded along with his death statement. Death certainly did not sound appealing to her though she would never die for natural reasons. She smiled and patted his shoulder gently before she said, “At least you can feel a small connection to her because of that fact. At least I hope you can. You are more than welcome to stay and help for as long as you like. Would you like me to show you around the grounds?” Ealpha slowly rose to her feet smiling down at him waiting for his answer.

Ronove looked about the garden as she spoke before responding to her question. Shaking his head lightly he got to his feet and shook his head attempting to clear it of what water remains. "I should probably get some clean clothes and have a wash or something. I'm feeling like a prune" Ronove rubbed at his cheek almost to add emphasis to his statement. Truth being, he was somewhat paranoid about being dirty.

Nobody knew where he got that trait from, it certainly wasn't his parents that was for sure.
