Serobi grinned, knowing a few diamonds layed still in his pocket. He grabbed his hat back from the annoying night elf.
"I'll need that."says Serobi, raising his voice. "We're leaving arent we?"
Quickly, he placed his hat firmly on his head and dressed himself with the elegant armor, which was crafted by the elves' finest. The metallic lustre of his armor was now fogged by the hotspring's water vapour. Gingerly, he rubbed them shiny before placing them on and tightening them with belt straps.
"A black dress? what will you do if you get in a fight? I suggest you retrieve your belongings in the basement. They would have left by now. Surely" he said. Surely with emphasis.

"Yes but I need to wear something in town...That way suspicions do not rise..."she let out a slow laugh and stood up"I must absolutely get that armor back...I'm much more delicate then other Night elves..."she let out a soft laugh and stared about"Like what happened in the desert Draku, if I was wearing regular armor or clothing, I would have died..."she slowly shook her head. Poking at the white material that clung to her skin"Ack, you can see thru it...".

"Ah, I see." says Serobi with a faint giggle. "A delicate dress for a delicate woman."
Serobi stood after tightening all straps of his armor. "Let's go then." Serobi made his way outside of the hotsprings, wary of the vampire. Seems as there was an alternate route outside the springs, which lead to Xiphos. It was a stair like arrangement of rocks, probably carved by humans. The passage lead to a tunnel of faint light despite the darkness.

"Shush you!"she shouted to the elf and let out a soft laugh, she slowly followed behind him and sighed"Your going to be bugging me about that now..."she whispered and slowly shook her head"Are you comming Draku?"she asked and tilted her head to the side, she let out a giggle and played with her hair.

Draku left the hotsprings after gathering his belongings. Passing through the moonlight bathed cavern, he noticed the same passage Serobi discovered. Although the cave was supposed to be covered in pitch black darkness, it was somehow still bright enough to see. The glittering jewels imbedded in the cave rocks reflected the moonlight from gem to gem. It was a sight to see but its awe didnt last. After sight-seeing, he gingerly left the foggy cavern, so not to slip and began to climb the carved stair-like rocks.
"Are the shops still going to be open?" he asked and pondered upon the thought. "It seems rather late already."

"I'm quite sure...This is an elven continent..."she smiled staring up at Draku and let out a soft sigh"Its women that keep the clothing stores open, so..I'm quite sure they are. Just incase..."she shivered at the wind that brushed up against her damp skin. She let out a sigh, rubbing her arms she chewed on her bottom lip"Its awefully cold...".

"Well, your body should get used to the evening temperature very soon." says Serobi.
The group all had reached the outskirts of the city surface. Pitch black darkness covered the lands as the the sounds of the waterfalls faded. Only the city lights guided his eyesight. Eventually, they should be able to reach the city if they followed the dirt road.
"I really think you should go check the basement for your stuff. That way, you could save Draku's money. That is...if it is still there."

Time had come when they had reached the slihouette of the slumbering city. Dancing candle light brightened the few of the homes in which it inhabitants were still awake. Some people also began extinguishing the candles, adding to the city's dim mood. Passing through the rough gravel of Xiphos main street, he noticed that people who stood by their shops, began packing their belongings and all were ready to call it a day. No customers or bystanders wandered the streets nor any type of being was visible. Everyone, including the smaller mammals, have crawled into the safety and comfort of their homes. Everyone except for Draku. He is now the homeless wanderer he is. Homes and people destroyed by the undead which scavenged hungrily for fresh blood. Despite the lack of people that roamed the city, the hospital was still open; ready to serve the ones in need. It gave Draku a frightening feeling when he thought of the employees in there. Sleeping through the day and working through the night just like vampires.
"We should try to find an open shop real soon."says Draku in a soft whisper, trying not to make noise. "If we dont, we always have the second option of checking out the hospital."

"Yes...But the elf is right..."she whispered and let out a soft sigh, goose bumps had now formed on her skin and she lowered her gaze"I think we should try and get my things back before we try anything other..."she stared up at draku and nervously played with her hair"And if we cant...Atleast destroy it...I can always return to my hometown if I need new armor..Its made free for my kind of body type..."she slowly shook her head. Everything was closed. It was to late. They had spent to much time in the springs, talking and enjoying each others company"We waited much time at the springs...Its to late...".

"If the Blood elves still dwell in that basement," mumbles Serobi "I could probably wake them on but I prefer if I didnt."
The streets were dark and only the hospital shed the light like morning twilight. It's tall structure and bright lights stood out in the darkness. The closer they went, the more tightly Serobi gripped his kodachis from behind him. Although he had a small hunch that there prescense may no longer be there, it would only be right to brace yourself as if an ambush were to happen minutes from now.
"Where exactly is your hometown?" he asked in a curious manner as he tilted his sideways, catching Lecta's eyes.

She stared at the hospital with nervous eyes. She stopped, breathing in a shaky breath she looked away, staring up at the elf"In a mountain to the north..."she whispered and smiled weakly"Its hard to get to...Thats why the undead have not attacked..They dont have the muscle to do the climb..."she scratched beneath her hair"I cant go in...Not after what had neerly happened..."she whispered, she trembled with fear. The mans tongue traced every inch of her. It was horrible"Perhaps...One day, when its safer I shall show you...".

"Well, if we cant go in, we must go to your homeland." suggests Draku. "Else, you'll be as vulnerable as my kind."
Draku retrieved his compass. Pressing upon its delicate button, a soft click pierced the silence of the night. Slowly, its golden cover opened as if it was frightened to reveal whatever was in it. The compass arrow shakily pointed towards magnetic north. Traced the line the arrow pointed with his eyes and examine the mountiain peaks. It stretched towards the horizon, the difference between two cities covered entirely in dense forest and vegetation.
"Or you could wait here. Serobi and I could retrieve it ourselves. Right Serobi?"

"Your are welcome, Lecta." replies Serobi. "Right Draku, we must head in. The hospital at this time should have a few employees wandering around. Serobi walked towards the hospital, pushing open the glass doors. He followed the mind map from his memory created the first time they passed through the wooden hallways. He turned a left. There it was: the basement door. A faint light glowed from the space in between the door and the ground.
"Here goes.."

She slowly walked over to a neerby bench. The streets werre quiet. Other then the ocasional cat. She breathed in a nervous breath and layed down. Curling up into a ball. She closed her eyes, wrapping the coat around herself tight. Her purple hair fell over her face and her body relaxed. She was beginning to fall asleep until a cat had jumped onto the bench, laying at her side. It stared up at her"Mmrrrawn..."it mewed and rubbed its head against her arm.
