Olath is in her cloak again, and nothing more, bent over the waters of the river.
She has made contact with Nyoka, Lenore, and Uleme. Uleme seems the only real threat to her, as he is still wary. Nyoka would be a powerful enemy, if she got on her bad side.
She thinks of them as she stares at her reflection. And, she is thinking about Draven. The b*****d elf . . . Just the thought of him burns her. . . .
She is so lost in thought, and her slight anger, that she doesn't hear the hooves of Uleme. Then again, she might not have heard him if he really didn't want her to.
"Miss. Olath'hiever," Uleme says, curtly.
Olath stops herself from jumping. Taking a deep breath, she stands, "Uleme."

Draven, Drake, and Kira had been walking in the forest. It seem that Drake had found someone like him that he could really talk to. Kira was a woman that kept to herself, but new alot about what was going on around her. She being a scholar she could tell Drake everything he wanted to know.
"So as you can see, with living up in the tree, were able to spot thing and warn other before anyone can get to Emerald Haven." she smiles and continues "Like you three men, we were able to let the other know you had arrived..."
Drake nods "That very cleaver, very very cleaver. Your up in the tree so its easy for attacking other, and easy to spot other..." he pulls his hair up inot a ponytail then looks to her. "Your indeed a worthy person to be a scholar.."
Draven rolled his eyes and looked away, he smiles when he see the woman he knew from the other day. "Olath..." he turns to see Kira and his brother continue to walk down the forest path, shruging he slowly walks closer over to Olath and the centaur, just watching her made him want her more.

Uleme takes a few steps closer to Olath, his tail flicking in an aggitated manner. "Are you trying to do another of your spells?" he asks, his stormy gray eyes narrowing a little.
Olath straightens the hood of her cloak and pulls on the sides, closing it a little more. She doesn't take her crimson eyes from his, and narrows them ever so slightly herself. She holds her head high and squares her shoulders. Without knowing it, she juts her chin out a little. "If I am, it is none of your concern."
"It concerns me," Uleme says, standing up taller and beating at the ground with one of his hooves. "If the foul magic you are doing is something that will cause harm to my forest, or the families that live close by."
Olath's emotions do not show on her face, but her irises start to grow larger, the crimson starting to take over the whites. "My magic effects myself, and only myself, sir," she says. "And what I do here is still none of your concern. Lenore and Nyoka gave me-" she stops, her ear twitches a little. Did she hear footsteps?

Draven stopped in place watching them. He smiles, so Olath knew magic also. No wonder he wanted her for his own. He looked back to see his brother and Kira had long vanished.
Looking back he jumps into the tree and hides watching them, he knew it was only a matter of time until she was alone. When that happen he would take her for himself.

Uleme looks at Olath curiously. When he opens his mouth to speak, Olath raises her hand and says "Shh!"
Leaves rustling, the creak of branches. It could be the wind. . . . However, she looks at Uleme, and says, "I will refrain from magic this night if you leave me. Now."
Uleme looks at her, studying her. Is she mad? he thinks. But, after his eye bore into hers for a few moments, he sees she is not. Nodding, he starts back into the trees. "We shall finish this later, Miss. Olath'hiever."
"I look forward to it, Uleme," Olath says, watching him leave. When he blends back in the shadows, she throws off her cloak and begins dressing again. First the corset, she doesn't bother with the shirt underneath, though she probably should have. . . . Then the ripped skirt, the belts, and her boots. She straps her athame and its sheath to one of her belts before looking around, eyes narrowed a little.
Uleme is wandering in the exact direction of Kira and Drake. When he hears their footsteps, he starts to follow them, not hiding his own. More people? One he remembers hearing before, her footsteps unmistakable to his keen ears. But the other? He's falling behind in his protecting. If more people are moving into the forest, he needs to be aware of it the moment they come. . . .

Kira and Drake were just walking back down the stairs out of the tree. She had changed into her darkblue elven gown. She was showing a book to Drake. He was so involved in the book he hadn't heard the footstep. Kira did though, she stopped and looked around before placing a hand on Drake's shoulder "We have company....."
Drake paused and looked around "Okay whos out there?" he placed Kira behind him. Drawing his sword he looked around once more.
Draven watched Olath, his eyes were wide. He wanted nothing more than to get out of the tree and take her into his arm. He licked his bottom lip taking in sharp breaths.

Uleme actually chuckles. He raises his arms in the air and steps out of the shadows. "Relax, friend," he says, inclining his head to Drake. "I do not wish you harm. I was only curious as to who you were, and when you arrived here?" Twinkling gray eyes move to Kira, and he favors her with a smile, and a small bow. "M'lady," he acknowledges her as well. He is not sure if Kira knows him, or has seen him before, as he has her. He does tend to stay away from most of the people in the forest, so word does not get back to Lenore and her family of him. The centaurs know of him, he is their leader, after all. But, his thinking is that, if the Slytherin-Natenhars and the DarkAngels do not know about him, it will be easier to defend them. It has been working so far. . . .
Olath sniffs at the air. Frowning, she whispers a few words in her native, Drow tongue. Flames burst into life around her hand. She holds it up, casting more light around her. Not that it is needed. Her night-vision is excellent. It is more a show of her power. . . . "Who is there? Come out, you coward!"

Kira smiles and steps around Drake she smiles to Drake "Its alright he is friend." she turns and bows slightly to Uleme "Its a pleasure to meet you Mi'lord Uleme. I heard their was a centaur villege in these parts, but I hadn't seen many. Only Aimee and Elrod. I'm Kira of the Tree top Villege, and this is Drake of Guardian Villege. I guess were all here for the same reason. Because of the ones that are staying in Emerald Haven..."
Drake places his sword away and bows "I am sorry, just didn't like knowing that I was being followed. Me and my brothers just arrived three days ago. Our oldest sister helps out at the Haven. LoreLei is her name, she sent word that they need more help, so about half the family is here."
Draven smiles and jumps out of the tree, he stand looking at Olath "One is not a coward, I was just watching my beautiful darkangel, I do not see this as a crime..."

Uleme nods. "Aye, we are here for the same reason. Though, I was drawn here before the residents moved in. Long before," he explains. "Well, sir, I welcome you and your brothers to the woods. It is always good to have help. I hope to meet your brothers some day soon." He blinks once, then says, "Forgive my rudeness. I will introduce myself formally. I am Uleme, leader of the Centaur Village." He pauses. "I believe I have seen your sister, Mister Drake. I have not had the pleasure of meeting her, though."
He looks around, nodding his approval at the surroundings. "You all have done well for yourselves here," he says when his eyes finally return to Drake and Kira.
Olath shakes her hand, putting out the flames. "I am not yours, sir. How many times must I tell you that?" she pauses, looking Draven over. "How long have you been watching me?" she asks, suddenly growing a little uncomfortable. She crosses her arms over her chest, as though she is naked again.

Kira smiles "Yes it seem each of the villeges are doing well, from Tree Top I can see both Guardian and Centaur Villages. They are both lovely looking villeges, always so active." she closes her book and places it in the bag she was carrying with her.
Drake nods "Yes my sister will have to meet you one day, when she is not so busy at the Haven..." he looks around then looks to Uleme "You did happen to see a man that looked like me only with long silver hair with brown streaks through it as you were coming our way?"
Draven smiles "Only for a bit, I saw the centaur you were talking with then saw him leave. So your also a person that like magic. I knew there was something about you that made me smile." he walk closer to her looking her over.

"Well, when you don't rely on anyone other than yourself to keep you alive, it can certainly be a busy life," Uleme says, smiling a little. He finds himself instantly liking these two for some reason. "I thank you for the compliment, Miss. Kira. On our village."
He then turns to Drake and his brow furrows slightly. "Well, I did not see anyone of that description. But, it is possible that I might have heard him when I was leaving Miss. Olath'hiever to herself," he replies.
Olath tightens her arms around her chest, thankful that her skin is far too dark to show any sort of blushing on her part. The fact is, where Draven's eyes are falling, she feels a little prickle on her skin. It has not been so long, Olath! Pull yourself together, woman! she thinks, watching his every move with her crimson eyes. "Yes, I know a little magic. And I put it to better uses than yourself, Draven. I don't use it to make people love me, or lust after me."

Kira nods and smiles "You are welcome" she looks to Drake "You know now that you mention it I don't remember him being with us when we first arrive here..."
Drake nods but then looks to Uleme "Did you just say Olath'hiever as in Olath." he shakes his head "By the Gods I swear that boy is nothing but trouble...he can deal this time, I'm not going to help him and his lust for her..."
Draven smiles "Ah did I forget to mention that the spell I used wasn't a love spell, it was a truth spell. It let me show what you were really hiding. And as they say, you can never hide from the truth..." he steps closer to her until he is inches away then looks out at the water. "Yes my darkangel you showed me that you lust for me...." he turned and looked into her crimson eyes and winks.

Uleme looks at both of them, a little confused. "I'm sorry. But, your brother has met Miss. Olath'hiever before?" he asks.
Olath's ear twitches and she holds her breath as he gets closer to her. But, when he winks, and says what he does, she is furious. She pulls her hand back, and aims it at his cheek. She doesn't notice if she slapped him or not as she takes a step back. "You lie, Draven," she hisses. "I wouldn't let you touch me with a ten foot pole."
She isn't sure if that is the truth. When he isn't around, Olath can find herself disgusted by Draven. But, when confronted with his eyes, his marvelous bone-structure, his silky-looking hair, and his fine clothes, she isn't so sure of herself anymore. She isn't sure if she can hold up against his advances much longer.
You were wrong, dear friend, she tells that voice in her head. It has been too long, or I wouldn't be wondering what his lips would feel like against mine. . . . The disgusting, handsome little pig. . .

Drake looks tp Uleme and nods "Yes he has, Not to long ago, when me, Draven, and my other brother Donovan first came to the place. He fell for her instantly and now wants her for his own. He doesn't know how to court a lady right..." he looks to Kira and nods.
She blushes almost glad that her skin was dark, then bows to them both "Well I must go check on my sister, I'll leave you to now..." she turns and climbs back up the stairs to her home, she looks back toward them both before slipping inside.
Drake watches her leave then turns to Uleme "So the leader of the Centaurs, that is very interesting. Tell me, have you ever seen any Dragon around these parts?"
Draven steps back alittle placing his hand on his cheek, he smiles then looks at Olath "A woman with fire, I like that. And I do not lie, I may be a tricker, and get what I want, but I am no liar. I can see it in your yes right now, your wondering what if would be like if i touched you with my lips." he advance closer to her, licking his bottom lip.

"Miss. Olath'hiever does not seem the type of woman whom is. . . . Easily swayed," Uleme says, a slight twinkle in his eyes.
He blinks when Kira starts back up the stairs. "Alright, Miss. Kira," he calls after her. "I hope all is well."
His attention is brought back to Drake, though, at the subject of dragons. "It is quite possible," Uleme says after a thoughtful pause. "I have not seen any, but don't they tend to keep to themselves? I can keep an eye, and ear, out for any, if you are truly interested in more than a passing manner. . . ." There is a double meaning to his last statement. He is hoping Drake is not a dragon hunter.
Olath does not move, only stubbornly juts her chin out. "I assure you, Draven," she says, though her tone is not as angry as before. It is a little more uncertain, and softer. Not a hiss, though. "I was thinking nothing of the sort," Olath's irises slowly start to return to their natural size, a sign that she is calming down. Her arms slowly loosen from their death grip on her chest as she watches Draven's moves closely, and her heart races a little. She needs to move, get away from him. But, she finds that she has lost control over her legs.
