Ravenloft (Gothic & Romance) [Accepting]

Ash turned her head, her gray eyes falling on Alhar. "Who are you?" she asked softly in her musical, soprano voice. She forced herself to lift her wings up some, so she didn't look quite so broken and depressed. However, unless she was fighting, she almost always looked like that. Her hands rested lightly on her fans, ready to use them on any of the newcomers if needed. She noticed how many were around and decided that she could take down at least three before needing to flee.

Lev stayed in the shadows, his long black hair whipping around him some before finally settling across his shoulders. He stared intently at the cluster that stood there, taking in each of their features and their probable strengths and weaknesses.

Alhar gave a little smile then bowed low in teh way he had been taught "Pardon me, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Alhar Summerhaven... of... Summer Haven." he conitnoued, rising somewhat occwardly. He had always foudn his last name odd, it was hard to introduce yourself when your last name was just a repeat of where you were from, never the less he tried to keep his manners about him "If I may ask you though; what brings a Sulent or any of us to a place like this." he looked around him, he could smell the evil drifting through the air, this place needed a paladin.

Mayia kept herself hidden, flinching when the man had spoken up. He doesn't mean me... H-He... He couldn't have seen me... She thought to herself, her panic nearly making her wings appear before her. She continued to wait with a hunter's patience, her breath caught in her chest as she did. She held her breath and swallowed, waiting in a shuddering silence. She needed to cough, but she didn't think that she would survive if she were to be uncovered. Don't speak... I-It's better to die alone than to die at the hands of others... Hunter... Please be with me and protect me for this... She thought desperately, tempted to shut her eyes to hold back her tears.

She noticed another had come. Just what she needed... More people. She tried to creep back, but her back hit a tree, causing her to let out her breath and begin to cough, some blood spilling from her lungs. I-I'm just that weak... She thought to herself as she forced herself up to run, but she didn't get very far, slipping at the edge of the bank and stabbing her staffs into the floor to keep her on her feet. Hopefully, no one spotted her.

=========================================================

Halomaru smiled lightly, moving his cloak from around his body to show his charming physique. "Elenwen Elinora. Such a name of beauty." He said with a daring grin before he glanced at the other girl, winking at her just a bit before he turned back to Elenwen. "Tell me. What was that little incantation you were reciting. Your movements were graceful like a feather on the winds of a spring day, a voice as sweet as the scent of a rose." He said, still trying to charm the girl, comming closer with each word until he was at arms length, close enough to be slapped, but close enough to watch closely enough to catch it as well.

"I don't really know how I got here... All I know is that they took me from my family..." Ash murmured softly as she watched him. She was rather amused by how awkward he was acting, but that could be from his age, as he did look rather old. She wasn't sure how to react to this human, as she wasn't used to people talking to her, or talking back, as she generally kept to herself. She was beginning to hate the gypsy for singing her song and calling her to this place, where she was forced to meet people. She glanced over at the other girl, her eyes widening. She moved to her quickly, leaving the man still there. She knelt down, a gentle hand on her arm. "Are you alright?"

[Mayiamaru]

Mayia eyes had widened just a bit at the touch from another and jerked her arm away, on agile feet getting to a two meter distance, but collapsing to her knee with her hands clutching her staffs for balance. Her wings had appeared on her back in a flurry of light as she landed there at the edge of the water. Hunter... This won't be the end.... Mayia thought to herself, misunderstanding the girl's intentions. Mayia treated everyone as an enemy. She did not want to be near other people and suspected everyone to be an enemy.

Mayia raised her staffs, as if to silently challenge the girl, but Mayia was in no condition to fight. She would lose all too quickly. Mayia was going to be strong, but inside, she was on the verge of tears, frightened by this girl. I can do this... I-I won't be weak... Or scared... I'll be strong... Just for you... Mayia thought to herself, pushing herself just a little too hard to try this. She noticed... She noticed all too well, but she still tried to surpass her physical limit.

Elenwen took a step back, she didn't like people getting to close, that was when they tried to hurt her. Her hand went to her belt but all she met was the tamborine, she had left her sword in the camp "I don't know what spell it was, I am told the spell by The Dark One and then I sing and do as he tells me. So weaves a gypsy's tale." she said catiously, she knew better than to trust him. Besides she couldn't get close to anyone, at least not until she knew her power and who she was becuase she knew she wasn't just a half elf.

Alhar turned around the bank and smiled at the girl "Are you alright?" he asked her. He was a kind person and he wasn't afraid to show that. He stood a smiled, he looked down at the mists that had brought them here. He looked over and saw that the gypsy was otherwise occupied "Why do you think she brought us here?" he asked in a hushed whisper to both girls.

[thelyingeyes]

Ash moved forward quickly, moving the girl's staff and pulling her to her feet. "Relax... I won't hurt you..." she murmured gently, staring into the girl's strange eyes. She held her hands, keeping her upright, not wanting to fight her. She would do whatever it took to get this girl to realize that she was no enemy, but she wasn't sure what lengths she would have to go to to make her see that.

[Mayiamaru]

Mayia looked up at the girl who had raised her to her feet and pulled away, continuing to back away with tensed arms. They were speaking like they weren't threats. Like they were supposed to be friends of some sort... But Mayia knew better. She knew much better than to trust people. People were villainous to Mayia, no matter the form they came in. Mayia use to think that everyone had good in them, but witnessing the death of her best friend convinced her of otherwise. These people were terrifying despite their appearance, and all Mayia wanted to do was run... but... That spell... That thing that Mayia had heard and imitated. She just couldn't bring herself to back away any more than that at all. Hunter... I'm trapped, aren't I... Maybe I'll be joining you... She thought to herself as her weakness forced itself out to be known.

=========================================================

Halomaru chuckled a little at Elenwens caution and cupped her chin in his hand, smiling deviously with kind eyes. "Adorable." He said, not caring much for the dark one. Halomaru was here for a long time, only figuring out this place's name from this girl. No Dark One came to memory, but regardless of that, he nodded. "So what happens now, gypsy?" He asked smoothly, not coming any closer with the expectancy of Elenwen attempting some kind of escape.

[thelyingeyes]

Ash moved forward instantly, knowing how to attempt to get this girl to trust her. She knew it was risky, but she would try anything at that point. She hooked her arm around her waist, leaning in and pressing their lips together. She didn't really feel much of anything by means of emotion, but she knew that it could work. She pulled away, staring into her eyes. "You can trust me... I am like you..." she murmured gently as she held her.

[Sijach~Shadowstorm]

He was too close, Elenwen pulled herself away and staggered back a couple paces before turning to run, the gypsy camp wasn't far from here Madame Ava could help her. Her bells began to jingle again and the mist started to swirl around her as though it was drawn to her rather than repelled. She could feel her breath quicken.
--
Alhar looked at the sulents then to behind him again, the gypsy was heading the other way it seemed "Why do you think she brought us here?" he resated his question, hoping someone would answer. He tapped is foot against the sand and every once and a while looked over his shoulder to see what was going on and make sure no one came this way. The mist seemed to keep creeping closer, not wiht the wind but almost with a mind.
