' I dont feel like I can go on... my body... feels so numb. I can't feel anything but his sweet breath on my face, his heartbeat, his strength.
Taru grasped the young blonde in his arms as the darkness continued to pulsate through the path. Tearing at each of their souls as if it was to reveal their true identities and gather what the heart really feels.
" Vwe must go faser! " Hogosha wrapped her arms around her shoulders to shield the deep breeze that began to sweep through the darkness.
Silence filled the path and it seemed as if images reflected in and out of the rhealm's wall.
Taru held the blonde closer to him as the breeze intensified.

Kitana and the others from Tumouqe had buried themselved deep within the forests' heart. They had passed the Elfin City's defenses and had passed their guards only by half a minute. It had been cut close. But their main target was the city's weapon...the great weapon that could be of use to destroy the sorceress.
It had been Seth's idea. A leader of Tumouqe that followed it's Farren. He was tall with shoulders as built as a mountain man's. He had golden blonde hair that fell into his large saphire eyes and sharp cheekbones. He was covered in furs just like Kitana. It was not long ago the two of them had descended from the same tribe.
Seth had requested they steal the Elfin City's great power and use it against the sorceress.

Akuhei took her place, shielding herself in the depth of the trees she kneeled on both heels and knees and squated, leaning on both palms. She sighed heavily as she waited for the signal. Then she would quickly run across the silver bridge, across the grand river and into the city. She was to meet up with Seth inside a small inn and recover a small Elfin Cape where she was to apply for an inside job. And from there it would lead on...
Akuhei breathed heavily, doubt flooding her mind. She wasn't quite sure of herself, of course she could go on with it but what if she wasn't....
And no one had noticed when she missed her signal to flee into the City...
I can't feel my legs, nor can I feel my arms. But I can feel his arms wrapped around me as if he is a protective shield, shiding away from the darkness... I can't help but feel so warm... was this meant? No, I was supposed to kill him... I failed... I'm a failure, and soon he will take care of me. I'm sure of it. '
" Hurry! I can see ze light! " Hogosha pulled a few strands of light blue hair from her face and hurried forward.
Light seemed to seep in slowly through small cracks of broken glass and crystal, threading so that Hogosha and Taru could barely see the horizon of Kicq de Tacq.
So far the plan was working, but a few things hadn't been counted on...
She gasped as a hand clamped around her mouth and brought her backwards on her bottom, her hands automatically clutching to the stranger's grasp. She breathed through her nose hard as she struggled in the unknown person's arms. Her feet slid beneath her as the stranger drug her off deeper into the woods... All that could be heard where the leaves shuffling beneath her feet, and her opponents.
