The two fighter approached the target location, intensionally not avoiding various runic wards and spells. The cave entrance grew closer, the hunters did not yield.
The target was not there, but the pair were fairly certain he would know that they were lurking near his lair. The cloaks they were wearing gave off a magical siniture that made them appear to most dection spells as Malik D'vinn, while to others as simple Norrathian drow.
As they drew close to the entance, one of the fighters dissappeared from detection.

She knew all this. She was getting to a point, bare with her.
"And say perhaps, that after eyars of blindness, you are gifted with a few weeks of sight? During which time you were subject to many forms of torture?"

The remaining heavily disguised fighter looked at the entrance with a smirk. At the very least, there should be a low level lcoking spell, and depending upon how parinoid the target was, a higher degree of lock.
EIther way, it did not matter to the soldier. He placed a green emerald on the ground, which then activated the spell stored within. An Earth Elemental formed, about five feet tall, not much of a treat, but it would get the message across. It charged the entrance, flainling at the walls and anything nearby.

"If that were the case...then I would want to keep my sight, to erase the memories of what I went through with teh sights of those that you know care. family, friends, loved ones. I would not wish to be blinded again, simply because I'm stubborn and would rather defy the one that let me have sight for torture. I would rather have them get angry because I could thank them for that gift. nothing pisses off someone that wishes you harm then enjoying somethign they gave or did to you."
He tilted his head lightly at her.
"He gave you sight didn't he. so you could see him do things to you. so you coudl see his body and his face when he commited those atrocities."
"I learned my lesson on that arguement, after the last time we had that fight."
A slight smirk..though a nod over to Kieran.
"Yes, the I fuss at you and tie you up or lock you in a room becuase I care adn don't want you to possibly get a further injury thing."

She shrugged. "His body. Any other body he could pull from my conciousness. You, your twin, Aella. Malik and Tarathiel, Roarke and Warren. Piper and the wolf kin child. Tanundra. There weer some I didn't know persoanlly, but have seen many times." She sighed and closed her eyes.
"I am sorry Onyx. But right now, I do not trust that you are you."

"Good to know you can retain it though." A pat at his head, comding her fingers through his hair a moment in her own idle movements. A little laugh from her before she shook her head. "You know you both love every moment of it, if anything only because we dote on you and what not."
"Yes that thing." A little nod. "And I'll admit, I do enjoy it...for a time anyway. There just comes a point when one can be too idle." He shrugged, though squinted a little at the action. Hm...seemed shruggind irritated his injury. Okay so let's not do that least we want to be in more pain. "I see you've experienced it before."
Another roll of his eyes at her giggling over animals. She was odd through and through. Though she got a glare at her commenting...even if she wasn't completely sharp in his vision yet. "Why correct it if it doesn't need correcting?" He shifted his weight to one side. "I've had more risks in my life thus far than you can think of...and I've learned the important of choosing better things over those risks.
Though he suddenly seemed to get his attention yanked, looking off in a random direction and blinking, seemingly completely forgetting that she was here. Wait a moment...his head dropped some and he let his eyes close, runic circle easing to life in his own silent calling of it. Easier to feel out his own placed runes. Wait. Raising a hand he scribed something into the air...and on a nearby rock of his own place, a little rune turned and changed shape some, giving him new information. Someone, or something was messing around his stuff. And yes, he knew Malik by his magical signature...seeing as Malik had 'volunteered' that information.
Eyes snapped open and crimson seemed to burn hot a moment. Malik. What the hell...with a growl he turned on his heel and walked out, hands clenching in his own agitation before he more or less slammed the door to the fortress open, only to look around a bit and see...Malik sitting right there...with his lap trash no less. So if Malik was here...those eyes narrowed at Malik. The b*****d. "I expected more of you..."
That said he stomped his way back outside. Vhaeren damn it. Now he had to go deal with this. A flared circle and a translocation rune pulled up. Pop in at home quick like, screw the walking.

The animated mound of rock, dirt and emerald continued its assult on the area, destroying everything it could, reshaping the rock face.
The cloaked figure stood relatively still, dodging debris every so often.

Zahara watched these events transpire with much the same look as Sevilin had given her moments earlier. What in teh nine hells was he doing? She had come closer to him when his head dropped, a bit concerned but then he jumped up startling her and stalked off. Stupid drow, the man could hardly see! Not that she could see any better but two vision impaired were always better than one, right? Thus she stalked outside just in time to see him coming up and reached out snagging his braid to get him to stop. "Sevilin wai-" Before the world moved around her and she felt quite shaken. Suddenly she had...no idea where she was. Sevilin was standing there though so she dropped his braid and swallowed. "What the hell?"

For the breif second where she had grabbed hold of him he jerked his attention to her and went to yank his braid from her grasp...but it was kind of too late as that rune took to it's job...and since she had hold of him...had translocated her too. Yeah, just what he needed. "What have I told you about touching me?" See, things like this happened.
But his sights more or settled on what the hell was going on. Earth elemental from the looks and ease to which it was taking to the rocks. And someone else. Freaking hell.Then eyes came to rest on the figure that stood there, dodging debris. First thing first, his usual 'get your attention' method. A target flare, a rope rune, and a nice hard tug, much like he'd done to Kieran earlier.

"well. I wonder what that was about."
No matter, Sevilin woudl of course come back full of piss and vinegar to b***h and fight over whatever it was malik was uspposed to be doning with whatever it ws Sevilin was concerned with.
"and doting is fine. and enjoyable but we don't need to be turned into labrats in a cage."
A slight chuckle, though a look at Kieran. hmm. might have done more damage than he thought.
"Well. there's a cure for that, I think. you're an oracle, you should be able to know if I am lying. and there are thigns that you and he don't know about me, being as they were thigns tht transpired before our get away to here. so ask away, I'll answer, and you'll know if I'm lying and that can verifiy that I am me, yes?"
Hey look, Onyx could give simple answers to complex problems. who would have thought.

Well her state had taken a leap for the worst for a moment, posture returning to the guarded sorts for a moment at Sevilin's abrubt and short little show up. "I...don't think I want to know." He was pissed enough, and then what...more was going to pile on top of it. Great. Though her attention turned back to Malik and Kieran, taking a breath to calm herself some, force her posture to relax. "Lab rats? Do pray tell how you consider it being turned into lab rats?" That's right Piper, refocus yourself.
The wheels were turning in Kieran's head and he gave a glance at his arm...though curious it was better to deal with it away from prying eyes. Sevilin was a rune mage...and a rune mage never carried a weapon that didn't have a second purpose to it. Not to mention drow either. But he smiled and looked back to Piper and Malik. "I would call it smothering to an extent."

((Sorry about ataking so long, I had to go back a reread what happened to Silvercreast))
The figure seemed to be uninterested in the workings of the trap, his lavender eyes turned towars the rune mage before the completetion of the attack. "You should have looked for the other drow first." Tarathiel said to Sevilin.
Several daggers flew towards Sevilln from his right rear flank, and from his left forawrd flank. The other Malik' landed near a wall fora brief moment before he became invisable agaisnt the darkened coridor, and to magical detection.
((9K post))

Zahara stared at what she thought was Tarathiel for a long moment, those violet eyes, so much like her own would give him away every single time. She had her daggers out and at the ready and when she saw the daggers coming she threw up a barrier quickly to deflect the daggers from tehir immediate target. Thank the gods that tehy moved fast and didn't ho-hum when prayers were offered. Sevilin wasn't happy she'd come but hey, she'd saved his a** and now all should be well. Right? Illusion...why was this happening now? What did Tarathiel have against Sevilin?

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, otherwise I would be happy to partake. I don't see the future so much as I interpret the possibilites. The possibility remains that you are lying about who you are."
She sighed. "Wizards first rule: people are stupid. They will believe anything if they are afraid it is true."

Okay, so it wasn't Malik and his skin color didn't match that of Malik's branch. Therefore one of three things. He was being messed with just becuase drow did things like that, word of him had gotten around and he knew Malik wasn't the only power seeker on the plane, or three Malik had just enlisted drow not of his own breed. Either way it pissed him off to no end.
Though a spilt second later he was readying to retaliate against daggers from front and back..when it seemed that Zahara stepped in. To which he gave a growl at her and her forehead grew hot with rune activation and he yanked hard on her too. He didn't need her protecting him! Of course that was his thought on the matter. Vision not up to par, he probably did...though he'd never admit that.
However he would admit that the second long distraction and barrier throw was the moment he needed. Polearm out now and glowing with it's own enhancing runes he was paying attention now...as much as he could with his vision like it was. Kieran was going to get more than what was due to him now. "Should of expected Malik to have more lackies that what it seems." And the best way to take care of an element fashioned threat? Counter with the opposing element...though Sevilin never could leave well enough alone...thus a wind/water combination of rune being scribed to the air, as a seconf target ring flared up under it.
