Not but a few yards from the fortress of which the Pura Elf spoke of, another seemingly random cloud of dust erupted from the ground. As it dissapated Dragomyzl walked from amidst it, suddenly appearing as if he had been there the entire time. He raised an eyebrow, although he would never truly admit it, he was truly impressed. But the impression lasted only a moment, his face once more emotionless and dead, he spoke aloud to himself. "I would guess that after that display, it won't be long before someone comes to see me, let us just hope it's not with axes swinging." Though he sincerly doubted, they would to welcome him.

She grinned down at him and nodded. "And I play one so well. Better in fact than Keely. She moves around too much so she's a better wench. The princess is supposed to sit in the tower and call for a brave knight to come rescue her." But she blinked when he stood up and got that worried look to his face. "Well if we stay out here for a while you will dry and hten we'll just rush up to your room and change your clothes really quick before they can get upset. And if they do, tell them it was my fault." Hey why not blame the aunt? Wasn't like Piper could punish her or would for that matter. Though a moment later her ears picked up the sound of a disturbance and she turned and looked then saw a small dust cloud. Had somebody else come to visit? Isle or Arthur or maybe even Piper would take care of them. She did turn to keep a closer eye on Malikhai. No need to have him running off and getting himself hurt or caught by a less than kind creature.
He got another glare and she seriously debated coming across the table and smacking him. After all she felt like she had been slapped right in the face. And Zahara always gave back as good as she got. "I do not evade him on every other level. I only watch myself and keep both of us from getting too emotionally involved. It's better that way Sevilin and you damn well know it!" She leaned forward in her chair and met his gaze directly. "No I don't welcome him being upset with me. I don't want him to be upset with anyone. And by not answering his questions or threatening to punish him when he continues to ask is not the way to encourage the boy to be curious. You told me I could be as invovled as I want to be. I have my role defined now let me do it. How do you want the damn questions answered Sevilin?" Nope, she wans't going to drop it.

The elf blinked as the shadowy form solidified not too far ahead of him, and puzzled over the outspokeness of the man. "Axes only when the master choses so." Cedric replied to the hypothetical question. Walking casually as his semi-injuried state would allow, he made his way amongst the rocks and roots to where the newcomer disapperated. "There be a great many things within those walls." Cedric said with a smile.

Arthur looked at the elf in front of him with a soft expression on his face, Isle had really gotten to him, he felt somewhat confused about the whole situation. Though before he could actually say a word she just dismiss it like it wasn't even bugging her at all followed by one of her really cute smiles. His blush had now moved from the back of his neck his neck towards his cheeks and he placed his head behind his head and rubbed the spot for a little while. "Really I am? Well I was never told that before I guess after living here for so long it's kind of a surprise to hear a new persons view about me." Another chuckle at that but it was more like a nervous chuckle, just what can he do to get out of this situation?

Dragomylz shot up an eyebrow, he was definately getting weaker, faster than he had originally anticipated, seeing as he not sensed the injured elf that stood not so far behind him. "Ah, but for creatures like myselfs there is not much more that others offer save axes and deaths by fire." he said again in that emotionless voice of his. "Now would this master of yours be?" he asked the elf.

"You will fit right in, I assure you." Cedric replied. "Hello, sorry about sneaking up on you, out of the dark, but is usually best not to allow others to sense your presence when in such untamed places. The master of this castle is not my own, but I most certainly have come to request an audiance. He is a major political factor in this neck of the dark, and most certainly might like to partake in the information of the others." Someone liked the sound of his own voice. "Lord Malik D'vinn, Shadow Knight and husband to the Princess Piper of Lands Beyond the Darkness. You could say, we are sort of allies at the moment." Honest, sencere and a tad dramatic Cedric could be on a whim.

"Yeah but I'm all icky...daddy is never icky." And well when one was copying their father it kind of ruined the illusion now didn't it? Thus he took a moment trying to brush mud off of his person and wring wet from this clothes. But his eyes turned up as some dust got upset and well then there was a person. Hm...was he okay with this? And who was that other guy...hm, it may be time to yell for mom and dad now. For now, he latched to Lharika.
She merely shrugged and said no more about it...well that had been a bust for her now hadn't it? Oh well, she supposed there was always another day, or other elves for that matter. But for now she put it from her mind, but her ears did twitch and glowing eyes turned to the little underdark disturbance. "Who are they?"
"Well guess what Zahara, he is upset with you." There he said it. "And guess what else? That's a form of evasion, especially since little elves need that sort of interaction." He turned and glared at her, his voice rising the slightest bit. "You can be as involved as you want to be but you can't keep pushing forward and then pulling back like you do. You can't cuddle him one moment and then walk away from him the next when he's looking for a hug but has no reason for one. You're either involved as his guardian, or involved as his mother. You can't play both sides of the fence."

Again Dragomyzl cocked an eyebrow. He had not asked for this information, yet the elf had still giving, so Malik D'Vinn, judging by the name, Dragomyzl though to himself, he sounds like a Drow, or something like a dark elf. "Yes, well, if the master of this castle is as powerful as you say he is, I am certain that he will prove a valuable tool for my own plans, slightly changed as they have become."

Oh it wasn't long before they both got thier answers. Black robes formed not to far away. thge eyes underneath them preadtory, but fascinated. and not long behin them came the ogre breakers.
"Cedric...we did not expect you. this other, we've been tracking for sometime this way. Our Lord will welcome you Cedric..but you...creature...you are ours to question."
"those things they don't like to talk about. and we have more guests."
A slight grin and a look at Piper.
"I think you'll like Cedric coming...but the other thing, that's something that is in my department alone."
a touch to Mavlolence.
One necromancer stepped forward.
"Cedric, you know the way to the gates, I imagine. our defenses are down to allow you passage without further aggravating your potential injuries. you, my undead creation..are to come with me. Unless you would prefer to state whom, or what, created your undead state if you can. if not..we will find out in other ways."

"Plans?" Cedric asked with more than a heartful of interest. Not very tall for an elf, nor heavily muscled or built, Cedric was a rather athletic individual with a very intent expression. His golden eyes and hair glistened in the shadowy glow of the moss that flanked the keep. His read coat had a thick layer of mud clinging to the bottom, and his black clothes underneath hid from prying eyes simply because it was too dull to make out the elvish details. The hilt of a claymour poped out from Cedric's right shoulder, and the hilt to a short sword poked out from his right hip. Other than that, he seemed unarmed, and somewhat off balance. "What plans might you have?" He asked again, with a very alluring voice. But, alas, the necromancers would not allow an interogation to continue. "Oh well, maybe you will tell me next time we meet." The elf bowed gracefully to the stranger.
"Thank you for the invitation, Spellcaster." Cedic bowed politely to the 'welcome committee' and followed their instructions. He reached where the stone floors began, and 'zaped' away the mudd from his clothes with a lovely cantrip before entering the building, and waiting within a nice little designated area.

Well at least things had died down a little bit, though he felt some compelled to go to her and just...well some part of his body wanted to do something with Isle but he didn't know what, her charms were simply having a good hold on him. Though when Isle asked him a question the young elf turned towards where her gaze went and blinked a few times in wonder himself. Gripping the handle of his katana lightly the elf walked forwards a little bit to see if he can take a look at them better. "I really don't know Isle."

Dragomyzl merely smiled. "You ask bold questions, for one who is not master of this domain. I will speak only with your master, as to whom I work for, that is not something your wortless existence need concern yourself with. Now move before, I cook you inards and feed upon them" he spoke with anger and fire in his voice. Not the calm voice of the gentle seas.

"That's okay. A little mud washes off and then you'll be just like your daddy again. Besides, when he was a little elf he probably got even muddier than you so really you are just like him." She pulled the little boy onto her lap and held him there, turned to watch the two figures. Her eyes were peeled for signs of danger and making sure Isle was in her line of vision in case quick information had to be relayed. And then necromancers appeared, Lharika dind't like them too much, they scared her.
He was just annoying her more and more today wasn't he? "And praytell Sevilin, why is he upset with me? Because I wouldn't give him cookies? He's a child, he'll survive. The gods know I got over the many, many times I was upset with my parents and I know for a fact you did too." Her hand slapped the table and her voice rose as well. "I'm doing everything that I know how to do! I'm not playing both sides of the fence. I do for him when you are not around to do for him or when I know that I can stay unemotionally involved if I do things. But this is something taht I can do for him and there's nothing wrong with answering the damn question when he asks! Just tell me what to say dammit! Stop pointing fingers and casting blame."

"Ah." Though a tilt of her head as he mentioned they they had more guests. So help her, she didn't need stress right now. And it seemed more was added as Keely handed her a leather cased letter from Meilikki. Funny...she should enjoy that. "So, surface elves and your business...hm, okay I've become the uncomfortable mother who is fidgety without her child within that ten foot comfort zone." A pointed look to Malik on that one, the not too happy one.
Okay, Isle wasn't feeling so comfortable anymore, evidenced by how her hand came to rest on the hilt of her sword at her hip, watching as things happened a few yards away, then as the other one proceeded to the door. Did this happen all the time down here. Oh yes she wasn't sure how to feel right now. Then again she had the right to be jumpy didn't she? First time in the underdark and all. "Lharika, Malikhai come here." This guy didn't seem too friendly.
"Lharika..." Holding onto her. After all, the men in that black robes meant bad things and he wasn't happy about that at all...besides this guy was talking about scary things.
"Because you don't give him affection like Piper does, because you are not his affectionate loving mother. You're Zahara to him and that's all you want to be and try as I might I can't get him to believe that that is all you ever want to be!" Whoa, had he just yelled somewhat. Yes yes he had. Sevilin took a breath to calm himself down. "I don't care, tell him whatever you want...he can decided who to believe for himself." Yes, doing that disengaging thing before he really got out of line.

Arthur's eye continually watched the two men who were standing a few yards away, he didn't trust them at all, they didn't give him a reason too and he felt a bad vibes from them. "Malikhai, Lharika, go to Isle now and stay with her..." The elf took a few steps forwards, waiting to see what they would do yet not wanting to confront them either; all he was doing was waiting just incase. Though one proceed to the door that didn't make Arthur stand down, he'll wait until they are both gone or until he and the others had left first.
