The whispers in the trees Sdfam08 & Chello
 

The land is weak from war. It has been years since the land has found peace to call its own. At one time we elves where a noble race our color did not matter or our our powers. Though the issues that plagued other races soon found our noble race. We now separate ourselves and see one higher due to their color of their skin and rank. It is now a up most crime for one of dark and light to combined and give offspring. For one to be with the other in love is unheard of and frowned upon. Only death of the other is praised. In our land how will love or peace be found?

Yua woke as she walked out onto the marble balcony. She smiled as she felt the warm suns ray's dance upon her skin. She looked about the guardian below her balcony wondering where the others where. She knew it had been a long night for the others since the attack from the night before. She herself had her own reminders from the night before as she looked at the bandage on her side. She placed her again against it as she closed her eyes and felt the pain that came from the wound under the wrapping. She wondered how her brother fared after a last night she had got lost from him.

Rayth sat on his bed as he stared out the open balcony door that faced the mountains. All he could think of was the woman that teased him in his dreams. She was beautiful and drove him crazy. He rolled his eyes as he felt one of his many servants tried to clean his wounds and sent her away along with the others. He wanted none of them and needed none of them. He had bandaged his own wounds last night. He looked down to his side as he shook his head. He had been to slow and underestimated his enemy. He closed his eyes as he pondered on the night before lost in his thoughts not caring about anything around him at the time.

X had just been captured the night before, he had been a great worrier and now was at the will of the high elves. He Growled a bit as he looked to the people who captured him. "You can't keep me here, My Miss tress will come for me... My Queen will see to it." he said as he spit on the guards. The guard hit him in the back of the head with his sword. "Your queen will be dead before night fall." he said as he watched the dark elf fall to the ground.

Lilith sat on her thrown and that about the high elves. "I will pay you back dear brothers." she said as she got up off her thrown and grabbed her sword. She knew more then just sword play. She had the magic of the wild by her side. She looked to her guards. "Its time." she said. When she realized that Xe was not beside her she looked about for a moment. "Where is he.." she demanded.

Thea knocked on the princes door before going in. "You need to be healed." she said as she gently put a hand over the mans wounds. "Who did this to you?" she asked looking up at the prince. It was a pretty deep cut, and wouldn't heal correctly with out her help. "those people are wild aren't they?" she asked softly.

Yua made her way down the cold stone steeps as she heard a growl and laughter. She walked down to where she stared at the guards. "What is the meaning of this?" She said in a voice that demanded their attention. She slowly entered the room as she glared at the guards. "Enough his wounds are deep. Call for the healers and get out of my sight before you meet my furry!" She yelled as she watched the guards leave. She hung her head as she walked to the fountain just outside and got some water in a bowl as she walked back into the room and knelt down beside the man. She ribbed her clothing and dipped it into the water as she gently washed his wounds. "Do not mind them please. I am sorry for this being done to you. We are not all tyrants here. I will get food brought to you...meat is that what you eat? I am afraid it has been a while since I have had a member from the wild here. I am a little rusty on what you enjoy eating. " She said as she held her side for a moment closing her eyes as pain shot through her side. She looked down as she saw the blood starting to show through the wrapping. She had got her wound by a nasty weapon that she hadn't seen before. It was like a dagger only it had two ends kind of like a spear. It had to be coated with something for her wound not to heal by now. She tried to hide the pain she was in as she looked over the wounds and felt bad as she saw one of arrows buried deep in the mans brows shoulder.
She moved back as she looked at him. "If you don't mind I will retrieve the arrow head from your shoulder. Or I can leave you here for the guards." She said as she heard the guards coming back.


Rayth open his eyes as he looked to the beautiful elf maiden. He smiled as he looked at her and gave a nod. "That they are but not much different from us. Don't be fooled little one they are no different from us. We are all one race after all. Though it would seem that we have forgot that over the years. As to who..why our brothers. I am afraid that I nailed one of our brothers and he is in the dungeon now. Thank you for your kindness my dear." He said as he gently picked her hand up once she was done and kissed it. "Have you heard of my sister? Is my dear sister well did she make it home? I brought the man home that had been after her the night before that is him down there." He said hearing a growl. "You will need to heal him I fear. I will go with you little one I don't want him daring to harm you. And hopefully he will calm down before father beheads him. It is a crime after all to harm one of royal blood." He said as he gave her a smile and sat up as he felt much better.

Ersphia rose from her spot in the shadows as she appeared before her sister. "Enough sister." She said as others shook and stuttered before her sister. She was just as powerful and held the same title as her sister she had nothing to fear. "The men are tired and weak they need sleep." She said as she gave a nod and watched the worriers leave to rest. She stared at her sister as she shook her head." You will never accomplish anything acting like a tyrant. As for your beloved worrier he was captured last night the crystal said so. Now rest and let me do my job and my girls to heal our men and worriers. The way he is he will be dead by night fall. You have none able to chase after him to save him I am sorry sister truly I am. I know how much you enjoy him." She said as she walked up to her sister and gently placed her hand on her as a purple aura appeared around the woman. Ersphia smiled as she finished healing her sister then turned as she headed to start the healing for the worriers. "Don't go to the woods tonight you may not come back and I could not survive that. I lost a father, brothers, and I can't lose a sister." She said as she peered over her shoulder at her sister.

Xe looked up at the princess he didn't say a word he just watched her. He had been chaind in the middle of the dungan. He feet were chained to the floor and his arms were chained to the the chains hanging from the cilling. "My queen will slay you to." he said to the princess with a smile. He knew that Lilith would come for him regardless of how hard it was. He looked to the guards and smiled. "Let them have me. I will kill them." he said with a small laugh. His anger was keeping the pain away, and his longing for the castle of the dark elves keep his hopes up.

Thea looked to the prince and softly bowed. "I will go as long as I have you by my side." she said softly blushing. "sorry you highness that was a bit forward." she said softly as she bowed again. She walked towards the door. "I shall cheek on your sister, would you like me to report back to you when I find her?" she asked looking at her prince. He was so diffrent from the other high elves. She gently closed the door behind her and walked down the hall to the princesses room. "Your highness." she said softly as she opened the door.

Lilith fell back into her chair and sighed. She longed for Xe he was her lover after all. "Xe where are you?" she whispered. She got up from her thrown and grabbed her long sword. "Sorry sister." she said softly. Lilith left the sword on the thrown with a note to her sister. "I know you'll take good care of them." she then left. She clocked herself in darkness as she walked in the forest. She watched as the high elves began taking over her forest.

Yea closed her eyes as she heard him and shook her head. "As you wish fool. You are no better than the men here. She wouldn't make it that far. Darling my brother would have her as a slave before you could blink a eye. You fail to see how weak you really are. Your forest is already ours. If you want to be nasty so be it. You touch or harm one of my women or men and I will be your nightmare. " She said as slammed her hand down on the arrow's stem that showed through this skin. She stared at him as she heard something crunch and knew it was the bone. She had broke his bones not really caring at this point. She turned as she heard the guards appear behind her as she faced them. "I lied have a field day with him. Well at lest he knows who I am. The prince will be up soon I am sure my brother will be more than happy to teach this heathen a lessen in manners. She turned as she left him there to die for all she killed as she walked back to her room. She stared at the woman who dared to enter her room without premonition. "You may have my brothers favor but not mine Maiden. This is my area and none are welcome here with out my invitation." She said as she noted the robes then closed her eyes. "I am sorry your holiness. Forgive me I didn't know it was you. Please forgive me I am rather ill after meting the new prisoner. I would not advise you to go and heal him. He is to wild and may harm you. I know my brother would not wish you harmed or any in your order. He sent you to find me I take it. I have only one wound it is rather nasty. I fear the weapon was coated with something it is still bleeding." She said as she lifted her arm and showed her wrapping where the blood was bleeding through. "If you have other to tent to I can wait." She said as she put her arm back down hiding her wound from view.

Rayth headed down the stairs as he went to the dungeon and looked at the man he had caught. He didn't care for the man and it wasn't for the reason most would think. He smelt of the woman he loved and dreamed of. He chuckled as he saw the arrow and the damage as he caught the smell of cherry blossoms. "Ah you have met my dear little sister. You really showed her your true colors there friend. You know my father wants your head but I think you should endure something much more painful. I already have your weapons. I hope you like my sister you will be her new slave. Don't worry I have a present for you." He said as he held out his hand as a red aura came from him as his eyes glowed red. The slammed his hands into the mans shoulder as he spoke dark elven magic as he bound the man to his sister using the arrow in his shoulder. He retrieved the arrow and then held it against is neck as the mans blood formed a necklace around his neck. Rayth smiled as he grinned and stared at man. "That can never be broke dear boy. That is the strongest dark elven magic around. Not even Lilith herself can break it or dear little sister Ersphia. Shhh...now don't scream the pain will die down soon enough. Don't worry you can't harm my sister or any she loves now you are bound to her. You where bound to her the day you where born it was not mistake that it was her you found last night. The doe and you the fine buck. Your weapon nailed her and caused her pure blood to flow like a river a crime upon its own. And her pure arrow nailed you and did the same to you. You weapon is now hers as you are hers. You will no protect her with your life. You will be presented to her this evening. Get over your ideal hope your queen has fallen and shall fall. You see dear boy I have friends in high and low places. You aren't the only dark elf here." He said as his eyes returned to normal and he looked like a normal high elf. He turned as he left the man there and walked out to the woods tacking his bow and arrow with him. He let his anger take hold as his eyes glowed the brighter as he moved at great speed through the forest. He stopped once in the dark forest where he felt home as he stared into the water waiting she was coming he could feel her.

Xe looked to the princess and as she dug the arrow into his flesh he flinched a bit, but fought back the pain. He fell forward as he felt the arrow in his bone. He felt as though he was going to throw up at the feel of the arrow. He didn't say a word to her as she walked out. He watched as the guards came towards him. "You don't know what your getting yourself into." he said softly. His eyes glowed a soft red, but before he could do a thing the prince came in. His eyes widened when a spell was put on him. "I will never be hers." he said as he spit at the prince. "How dare you call yourself..." but before he could finish what he was saying a black necklec formed around his neck, and the pain was the strongest pain he had ever felt, he let out a scream that could be heard threw out the castle. "I won't ever lose hope... You don't know Lilith like I do." He said softly as his will was bent to the princes will.

Lilith heard the cry of her lover. "Hold on Xe I'll be there soon." she softly whispered. She ran as if the wind couldn't keep up. Her heat was being broken even though she had yet to see her lover. Lilith knew that it was hopeless, but she had to at least try to save him. What she faild to realize is as she past the lake the hight elf prince was there. She didn't even see him, for her mind was clouded by the thoughts of her lover. She keep up the pace and was soon to be at the castle of the high elves.

Thea looked to the dear princess."You are forgiven, I'm sorry for introuding." she said as she walked towards the princess "Come now sit on the bed you have had a long day." she said as she gently brushed the hair out of the princess face. "Now you and your brother are our most beloved, I can save the others another time." she said with a smile, as she lead the princess to her bed. "Now come and lay down. Its easier for me this way." she spoke in soothing tones.

Rayth smiled as he pulled out his arrow as the princess passed. He waited and took aim then released the bow as it shot through the woods and nailed the woman's calf he watched her hit the ground. It rather pained him to do something so mean to a beautiful creature but she would never see him if he didn't. He slowly made his way to where she fell and kept his eyes on her she was his prize where she knew it or not. She had haunted his dreams for years and he knew that he had hers. She was his and he was hers the elders that had been long sealed in the mountains had told him the fate as a child and had promised they would meat and be together as was meant to be by the fates. He walked to where she was as he stared into her eyes. "Go a head stab me through the heart if you can." He told her as he bent down and gently removed the arrow as he stared at her wound." He knew she couldn't arm him because he was her secret obsession as she was his. "You put him before me. I have searched for you and waited for you. Why would you not do the same for me." He spoke as he gently leaned down and licked the blood that came from her wound as he tasted everything she had ever felt or thought from her blood. He gently kissed her leg as he placed it down gently. "I have watched you sleep many nights in your castle. Ersphyia as she sung you to sleep those nights. " He admitted. "I waited for you that night in the forest you told me to meet you there and you never came Lilith. I never forgot you but apparently you forgot me. You gave me your oath to be mine but apparently it was only foolishness. You forgot me the boy from the forest that you loved so long ago spending your youth with. I taught you everything and you forgot about me." He said as pain set in. " I waited for you all these years and you couldn't even remember me. And before you say you don't know me look into my eyes." He said as his eyes glowed red and his skin changed colors as he became as dark as hers.

Yua did as she was asked and laid on her bed as she moved her arm so the woman could work her magic. " I am sorry to be a bother for you. I promise it was not my intent or my brothers to worry you my dear one. I hope that it doesn't weaken you to much. The flowers are so beautiful today. Maybe one of the other can bring some in I doubt I will be up and about today I am rather tired. Please promise me you want go near the basement without my brother or the guards. " She said as she feared for the girl.

Lilith felt the pain hit her as the arrow hit her bone, she let out a small cry of pain as she looked to see a high elf. "My sister was right." she said softly as she tried to pull away, but then he gently pulled the arrow out. Her eyes widened from fear, as he changed in to a dark elf she remembered him from her dreams. "He was mine" she said softly. When he spoke of the blood she cringed. "He was mine!" she cried out "how dare you use blood magic on my..." she glared at the man. she felt more pain knowing that her lover would no longer be hers. Looking into the mans eyes she softly smiled. Lilith looked for what he was talking about, but couldn't it. She gently touched his cheek. "I.." she spoke softly and calmly. "I don't remember, You just hunt my dreams nothing more" she said as she tried to push him away. "Please let me go." she said as she tried to pull away from him. "I've seen you in my dreams, but... but you will never be my lover. I will be a slave before you can have me." She demanded. Lilith tried once more to pull away from the man, but when he spoke of her sister her eyes began to glow." Ersphyia my sister what have you done with her!" she demanded. She stopped fighting the man when he talked of watching her in the castle. "How could you." she said softly.

Thea smiled softly "You are no trouble my dear." she said with a soft smile. Thea was still very young, younger then the prince and princess. She looked to the flowers and softly smiled. "That mean something good is going to be happening for us." she said as she gently touched Yua's wounds. "This might hurt a little bit, what ever that weapon was that got you had a dark poison on it." she said softly. She pulled the poison from the wound and then healed the wound. Thea felt a little light headed. "Your highness is there anything else I can do for you?" she asked. "If not I need to go and rest for a little bit..." she said as the room started to spin.

"I have friends in many high and low places as you do. And you lie your blood says so. You remember me." He stared into her eyes as he smiled at her. "As far as how I walked right in. Your guards suck in all honestly. If you wish to be my slave so be it. You can rot in hell as far as I am concerned. I tried to be nice and give you time. But you betrayed me. Your oath was rubbish as you are. At lest your sister keeps her word why all would follow her to their deaths and leave you to die. Only that fool loved you. Why don't you lessen to what your men think of you. He said as he placed his hand to her fore head as he let her hear the screams from her people as the cursed her for the pain and lost. Though love shown in their eyes for the beautiful Ersphyia as she healed and helped as she could. "You have much to learn from your sister. It should have been her I was bound to instead of the stupid argent foolish girl I was who wouldn't know love it smacked her in the face. Your sister will out shine you because she is caring. You only care for yourself you forgot the you that everyone once loved including me. I hope you are happy. A slave is what you want to be so be it. He said as he rose and slapped her as hard as he could knocking her out.


Yue closed her eyes as she felt a little discomfort. She open her eyes once it was done and reached out picking up the small girl as she placed her on her bed. "Shh rest here little one." She said as she gently tucked the covers around her. She slowly mad her way to the balcony where she laid down on her outside bed there and closed her eyes as she felt her heart being ripped from her. In her dreams the elven man haunted her. She couldn't escape him as much as she tried to not wanting anything to do with him after what he had said. She felt bad for being so mean and know her people would not like to hear what she had done to him as she slowly open her eyes. She gave up on sleep as she slowly made her way to the dugon and brought food. She placed it down in front of the man and brought him some clothing leaving before he could say a word as she found it hard to move pain running through her body as she was helped to her room to the outside bed. She drifted of to sleep the pain to great for her to bare.

Ersphya stared outside as she finished healing the others. Her heart ached as she knew her sister had left again. She looked around and headed back to the thrown room where she saw what she already knew. She hung her head as she walked to the gate where the few men that could stood guard. She herself dismissed them and jumped on the top of the fence as she took guard for the night. The people where to tired and needed rest. She prayed to the spirits that her sister was safe and would return soon enough.

Lilith didn't care what he had to say, but when she saw the cry of her people her heart broke. "I.." Tears came to her eyes as she felt the pain. "It can't be true." she said softly as she looked into his eyes. "I looked for you that... that night." she said softly, but before she could say anything else he slapped her in the face, and she was out cold. He came back to her in her dreams.

Thea looked around the room and the when she did her the room was spining, "The poison..." she said softly "It not normal..." she said softly. She gently took the princesses hand. "I need the princess." she said softly. She meant the dark elf princess, but before she could say that she diffed back to sleep.

Xe looked to the guys as they began to laugh. "It looks like your queen has been captured." one of the guards said. Xe didn't say a word, he still love Lilith, but his heart was now for Yue. He wanted to serve both princesses. The other guard looked to the princesses that came down. "Your highness." they said. Xe looked to the princess, he looked to the plait that stood infront of him. "Thank you." he said softly, but she was already gone.

Rayth picked the girl up after healing her wounds and walked to the edge of her forest and placed her in the dark roses. He gently removed the clock he had used to see her and wrapped it around her placing her sword beside her making it look as if she had just fallen a sleep there. He left her there knowing that her sister knew she was there. He walked back to the castle as he walked to his sisters room he found her bed empty and walked out to find his sister out cold. He gently held her head in his lap as he watched over her as she slept. He kissed her fore head and covered her up as he walked to the main hall where he heard of the priestess. He gave the ordered for the new slave to be taken to his sisters room. He then headed to where Thea slept in her own quarters. He bent down as he gently held her hand as she slept. He worried for her.

With out a word she jumped from the gate as she ran at full speed. She let out a breath as she pulled her sister to her and kissed her forehead happy to see her sister was safe. She picked her sister up and her weapon taking her home and putting her to bed thanking the old ones her sister was safe and back at home.

Lilith woke up and felt her warm bed. "Where am I?" she asked softly. She looked about to find that she was no home and in her own bed. She got up and looked into the mirror. She felt a little strange. She gently touched her leg, but nothing was wrong with it. She then walked out of her room and down to the thrown room. She sat in her chair and pondered what was to hppen to her and her people. "Ersphya!" she called out to her sister. "We need to bring everyone in. Its time they rest." she said knowing very well the fight was over. "She looked to her sister. "What ever happens please make sure you get out." she said softly.

Xe looked to the guards, the keep him bound as the dragged him to Yue's room. He looked to the princes and watched over her. The guards stood watch at the door. He smiled, "The only reason your still alive is because I'm not going to hurt you." He said his eyes softly glowing red.

Thea awoke for a moment, "Is she okay?" the asked as she softly coughed. "I heal her, but the poison... Its a spell, its not regular poison. The only person who can remove it is the princess.." she said softly. her cheeks where really flush and her mouth was dry, she had a fever that no normal elf could withstand.

The prince stared at the little elf as he smiled at her. "Now I would take it that you need the younger one to remove the curse. She is the haler after all the elder is nothing less of a brute now days. Her people speak of a time when she was kind and as loving as you little one. You rest and I will find her for you." He said as he picked her up in his arms. He looked to the man now in his sister room. "You live only because I allow you to. Never forget that. You fail my sister and you will meet the maker." He said as he turned and left the room. He walked down the halls till he came to the girls room and gently placed her on her own bed as he stood beside her watching her.

Yalonda woke from her nightmare as she reached up whipping sweat from her brow. She walked in her room and grabbed a wet rag whipping her face with it. She looked to her door where she found more guards than normal outside. She arched a brow wondering why the change in guards. She was about to address the guards when she felt another presence in her room. She turned as she stared at the figure she slowly moved to the doorway leading to her balcony as she turned and faced the figured. To her surprise it was the elven man who had been so rude to her and her to him. She closed her eyes as she shook her head. "This is not how it should be no elf over another." She said as she walked be hind him and released him from his chains. She then open her door and threw them outside of it as she heard the guards turn to stop her slamming the door on them. "Yes I know he is going to kill me blah blah blah. Get a new line already."She said as she walked to her outside bed. She didn't care if he killed her she was to tired to care as she rested on the bed enjoying the smell of the flowers.

Ersphyia appeared before her sister as she shook her head. "It is to late sister the others are already in bed. That is where you belong. You are lucky the fates let you come back as they did. When will my sister ever come home to me. The one I love and once adored." She said as she hung her head. "Good night sister." She said as she turned leaving her sister there. She walked to the gates and took her post as she found herself being called. It was by a beautiful voice it was so soft and beautiful. The voice haunted her as she sat there making her want to run to it and help it. She could tell that something was wrong with who ever called out to her.

Thea gently touched the princes cheek. "I have something to tell you." she said softly. She changed her mind and snuggled into his chest. She dreamed of a time when the land was whole, and love flowed between dark elf and High elf. She reached out her hands and her eyes opened wide as pain shot threw her whole body. A light purple like came out of her mouth.

Xe looked to the princesses and softly smiled. "I'm sorry master for the way I behaved." he said as he crawled over to her feet. he tried to fight the urge to kiss her beautiful feet, the his will was broken and he wanted now nothing more then to touched them. "Your hiness what is your will..." he tired to fight the words that were coming out of his mouth. "For me." he finished as he pulled away from her.

Lilith sat there as she watched her sister walk out of the room. She wanted to stop her but found that she couldn't move. The only thought went back to her people. she held her sword in her hand as she looked to the doors. He would be comeing for her she could feel it. She called for her sister and hopped that she would come, but when she didn't Lilith walked to her sister. "I need you to get everyone out of here." she said softly. "Take them to the safe place. I'll hold the army back." she said as she took the crown off of her own head. "Your there rightful ruler." she said softly as she placed it on her sisters head. "I'm going to be his slave." she said softly under her breath.

Rayth stared at the woman and gently placed her in her bed as the other healers came. He himself excused himself from the grounds as he wondered through the forest. He soon found himself longs in the forest with the large forgotten trees of old. It was a sight to see and the fact that no other creator besides the animals that called it home every entered. It was forgotten because elves forgot about their old ways and home. The forest had been the birth place of elf's. He wondered through the large trees soon not able to walk on the ground as it turned to water the large roots making the path as he moved through the forest. He took a rest at the center of it one one of the large roots as he closed his eyes and let his true form show as his skin turned as dark as the rocks near his home. He could finally be at peace and not worry hearing anything from his parents or anyone. He could just be himself. The elders had said that the woman he called mother was not his real mother. It shocked him when he heard it but he got use to it after a while.

Yua's eyes shot open as she hard a voice. She turned as she saw it was the man again. "What is your name? And don't bother with the formal titles. I could careless after all you said your love was coming back for you. Kill me if you want just shut up with the fake lies. I hate two faced people. You showed how you felt eariler I am not going to kill you if I wanted you dead you would be already so drop the act. I am Yalonda Princess to you as the others would prefer Yua is what those who know me best call me. Call me whatever you want I could care less. Though cross me and I will make your life a living hell. If you want back to your Queen so much let me get better and I will escort you back personally if she doesn't get captured first. I am afraid my brother is rather nasty with his magic. Just as I am nasty with my bow and arrow or any other weapon I get in my hand. Though don't you dare thing I am a push over I can stand my own with you or any other man in hand to hand combat. I might be a girl but I wasn't raised a princess. My home is out there with my brothers. I am only hear due to a injury. As soon as I am able I will be out of this dreadful place. I can't wait to be in the forest where I can be myself and not have to bow to others and pretend to fit in here. Here I am nothing but a figure head. I am to be beautiful and fridgile a thing of beauty. I would rather die at the hands of your kind before I bow to any man. I am not like the woman my father chose for his wife. I will not bow to a mans will nor will he dare put me in my place. I hate being here there are balls and rules and so much drama. The lies run deep here. No one here really cares for me as a person only because of the power they can gain if the please me. They only tolerate me because of my title and blood. If I had neither of those I would be shunned and put at the bottom of society. You see our homes are not that much different. No matter where you go it all the same in the end. People where Mask to hide the real them. If anyone showed the real them they would be shunned and punished for it with laughter and mockery. That is why the lies are needed to hide the real people beneath the mask. " She said as she looked the man over. "You are weak did you get enough food?"

Lilith felt Rayth in the forest. She felt the urge to go to him. She got up from her thrown and ran to him. After there last meet she wanted nothing more then to talk to him. Lilith spotted him in the forest, she walked quietly till he could see her. "I want to talk." she said softly. She looked him over then looked to her kingdom. "Can we unite them?" she asked him as she took her shoes off. This part of the forest was a holy place for her people. "I want toe elves to be united." she said softly as she took a step closer to him. "If we can unite then so can they." she said as she gently reached out to him.

Xe stood up he was quite a few inches taller then Yue, he walked up to her and gently cup his hands around her face. He looked deep into her eyes, and she could feel the pain he was in, he gently kissed her as he looked into her eyes.

((sorry its so short))

Yue's eyes shot open as she punched him square in the jaw without thinking. She watched him hit the ground as she glared at him. "What is the meaning of this? If I wanted a playmate I would get one here! Don't you dare do that again! I didn't ask for you and you love your Dame Queen remember! I don't know who you think you are I want no ones lover. I would rather have my own!" She said as she jumped from the bed and stomped back in her room laying down on her bed. "Leave me alone I free you go to your Queen." She said as she curled up in a ball wanting to get some sleep.

Rayth let out a sigh as he heard the woman enter the forest. He laid there as he heard her near. "I don't know if that is possible. Why unite them? You are far inferior my father will destroy your people by the end of the week and have all your people as slaves. Why do you come to me woman? Go get your lover." He said as he laid there. He slowly open his eyes as he stared at her seeing she was reaching out for him. "Why are you reaching out for me.I am the one you hated remember. I am the one you stood up so many years ago. I was the one not good enough for you. What makes you think I want you now? I wanted the girl I loved those many years ago not the Harlot that stands before me with her many lovers. When my loved one comes back I will take her back but the thing you are no. When she comes back to me I will come back to her. But you killed her years ago. I liked the old you." He said as he sat up and stared at her. He changed back into his normal form as his dark skin faded. He looked at her as he felt uncountable around her.


Ersphyia couldn't stand it as she leaped from the gate. She moved silently through the trees. She then froze as she peered at the strange kingdom. She had never been so close to it as she quickly moved dodging all of the guards. She moved down the dark ally ways and slipped into the the building where she felt she was being pulled to. She made her way to a beautiful decorated room slipping in and shutting the door behind her. She walked around the bed as she peered down at the girl just staring at her. She was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.

Lilith looked to him as he talked. "I am no whore." she said to him. "I was there in the forest." she said as she walked towards him. "You no nothing of what my people have gone threw..." she said as she turned to walk away. "I though you of all elves would want to save your brothers and sister." she said as she walked off. Her anger taking over, she then took on a new stronger form. It was quick change. She turned into a large black tirger, and once in full change she began to run, she didn't really care where to, she just ran.

Xe smiled at the princess. "Even if I wanted to go back I couldn't. You saw what you dear older brother did to me." he said as he took the cloth off from his neck. "We are bound to one another now." he said with a smile and a small laugh. "How does it feel to know that I will never really love you?" he asked her as the smile faded. "The love I have for you is forced a pound me, by the curse of your brother." he said as he laid back down on her floor.

Thea looked to the girl her sight all in a haze. "you came." she said softly almost unable to breath. "I've seen you in my dreams." she whispered as she tried to take in a deep breath. "I fear that your to late though, I'm only mins from being dead" she said as she gently reached out for the dark elves hand.

Yue shook her head as she stared at him. She shot up from her bed as she picked him up to his throat nailing him against the wall." I saw no such thing and my brother wouldn't do such a thing. The nerve you low life. You are crazy to suggest my brother could and would do such a thing. And we aren't bound stupid I feel nothing for you. If we where bound wouldn't I feel your pain. Because I feel nothing! So maybe if you are going to lie make it believable. Get out of my kingdom and go back to your queen!" She said as she threw him out on the balcony. She then pushed him off as she watched him fall in the garden. She saw the guards rush to her as she rolled her eyes." Let him go to his queen. Kill him if he dares to come back."

Rayth jumped to his feet as he followed her. With out a thought he jumped on her back as he held on to her fur to keep. "If I am wrong then show me what happen. If peace is what you want then I will help you. I am sick of our people fighting as I see you are. "He said as he leaped from her back and moved through the tops of the trees as he headed back to the dark garden.

Ersphia stared at the elf as she wondered what the woman spoke of. She removed her hood as she looked the girl over seeing the poison in it's aurora form. She stared at the girl as she saw how innocent she was. "It was not you who harmed the owner of this poison. And it is not you who will die from it." She said as she held her hand over the girls mouth. A purple aura came from her hand as the poison escaped the woman body. It formed a purple pearl with a rose in the middle of it. She held it out for the woman.

Xe looked up to the princess. "You felt my pain when I touched you." he called out. "I could see it in your eyes." he said still smiling a little. "Ask your dear brother if we are bound you shall see." he said as he whipped the blood from his mouth. He looked to the balcony and smiled as he just waited for her to come back to it. "I can't leave. I will long for you till I see you again, its part of the curse." he said with a smile.

Once Lilith calmed down she turned back into her elf form. She had run quite a was, and wasn't quite sure where she was. She looked about and noticed a white rose. It was like the one the dear prince gave her the first time they had meet. She picked it and held it close for a moment. It was then she relized a ring on her finger, she never could remember where it came from, and once she took it off, memories of her childhood with the prince flooded her mind. "I remember." she said softly looking down at her feet. It was her father who gave her the ring so many years ago. Its what made her heart so hard towards the High elves. She looked about and found the princes sent, she followed it till she saw him. "I'm sorry." she said softly.

Thea's fever broke as she looked up to the girl. "Who was it meant for?" she asked softly as she sat up and looked at the purple pearl. "Its beautiful." she said softly. She crossed her legs and softly smiled at the girl in front of her. "are you... The princess?" she asked as she looked at the girl and thought of how beautiful she really was.

Rayth smiled then looked at her. He stared at her as he wondered what was she sorry for. "You are sorry for what?" He asked as he turned and faced her. She looked like the girl he loved and haunted his dreams. He stared at her harder as he wanted to reach out to her and pull her close and kiss her again.


Yue rolled her eyes as she laid back on her bed done speaking with the fool. She closed her eyes as she wrapped her covers around her and drifting off to sleep. She didn't care what happen to the man or if he ever came back. Her brother wouldn't curse her though the man he might. If he had there was a reason and it was for her betterment.





"That is my sister. I am Ersphia or Moon for short. It was meant for the wicked ones that wish ill will not one as innocent as you. YOu hold no evil in you. You called out to me how did you know to call me?" She asked as she wondered how the girl knew she was the only one who could remove the poison. "My sister can cause it but she can't cure it I can do both. In honesty I am a princess but I was not raised that way. Even in darkness and pain there can be beauty and that pearl is poof. I am sorry that it pained you. I hope that you get some rest and stay far from such things. Such wicked things sound never be used on one such as you. " She said as she gently pulled the cover up for the girl moving the stray hairs from the girls face. "That poison was for my sisters lover. I take it he was taken. He is now a pet here isn't he? " She hung her head and sighed.

lilith softly smiled at him. "I'm sorry for hurting you so bad." She said as she walked closer to him. Her long white hair glowed a soft silver as she got closer to him. "I was so blinded my love." she said softly as she smiled. It was him the true man she loved. She gently reached out and touched his cheek. "I've been so lost. It was my fathers doing my love. He put a spell on the ring." she said softly as she held it out to him. "As long as I wore it.." she said as she dropped it to the ground. She took him by the hand. "Lets go to our secret spot." she said her eyes now a light purple, instead of a dark purple. "I'm free." she said still having his hand in her own.

Xe smiled as he just laid in the bush. "I'll be waiting for you right here princess." he said with a foolish smile. He felt a sharp pain in his chest as he cried out. He new now that Lilith took the ring off. The ring wasn't given to her by her father it was given to her by Xe who wanted her to himself. He used black magic to bind the two of them together.

Thea looked to the woman in and softly blushed. "I told you I've seen you running threw the forest in my dreams." she said softly as she looked to her hands. "My prince has told me to be careful around your kind, but if there all like you what is there to be afraid of?" she asked as she looked to the pearl once more. "I think the princesses has thrown him out of her room. She refuses to believe her brother could bind her with such a beast, though like her I don't believe our beloved prince could do that to his own sister... do you?" she asked meeting the girls eyes.

Moon smiled as she heard the girl. " I don't believe he would without good reason the man may be the one for her. He may just need some time to see it. He had to have some emotions for her already to be bound. I am afraid that we earn our reputation at times. You are very beautiful. I will leave you now I do not wish to be caught or made a slave."

Yua slept the rest of the afternoon. When she finally woke she walked to the balcony and shook her head as she saw the man there. He was pathetic now she thought as she closed her eyes and shook her head. "Some queen. " she said as she turned and took a Set on her bed outside. She smiled as her food was brought to her and some for him. She ate her food enjoying the view and the beautiful flowers.

Rathy smiled as he held her hand and walked with her. "There is my dark and beautiful princess. I have waited for you. I did bind you brother XE to my sister. They where meant for one another the magic showed me. It wasn't your father who gave you that ring. XE your half brother has longed for you since the day he saw you. I warned you and you told me I was foolish he was family and wouldn't want you."

"wait... please don't go" thea said to the dark elf. "Your so pretty, won't you stay with me for a little while." she said softly as she sat up. "Is that man in the dungeon a beast?" she asked looking at the girl in front of her. She wanted to know more about the dark elves. What if everything she knew about the was a lie.

Lilith looked to the prince and smiled. "I'm sorry I should have..." she looked into his eyes and she could feel her cheeks turn bright red. "So we are meant to be lovers." she said softly as touched her lips. "What is to happen to Xe if I may ask." she said as she quickly changed the subject.

Erphysa smiled as she took a set beside the girl on the very edge of her bed. "You are pretty as well and thank you." She said as she gave a bow of her head. She turned to where the girl had said Xe was to be. "A beast no. A fool wanting power yes maybe. Deep down he has a good heart but his heart has been clouded by the need for power and greed. Such things can take hold of a heart and turn it hard and unusable. " She said as she sighed. "Tell me of you and your people. The Princess I take it will not have anything to do with him will she? And your Prince was kind enough not to kill him. I have heard rumors that the prince and princess are kind is that true? It is said that the people here are nothing what we have been told. I was never told of how beautiful you where. I have heard of you. You saved a few of my people before they have told me many stories of you.*


"He is now with his own lover. You see he was desten for Yue. Bad things only comes to those who mess in the fates. I am sure he will learn how to use his heart once again or die from Yue beating some since into him. Yue has the purest heart though she has never found anyone to give it to. And he needs to learn how to use his. Worst case he stays her pet slave. No hard work would be asked from him or harm to him." He said as he pulled her to him and stared into her beautiful eyes as he caressed her cheek before kissing her deeply. "I have waited to do that for some time now."


Yue got up as she walked to the marble balcony wall and looked down as she stared at the dark elf Xe. "Are you going to stay down the rest of night or are you going to get up here and get some food ? " She said as she rolled her eyes and turned as she walked to her outside bed and laid back down. She closed her eyes as she laid there." Get up here this instance!" She said in a more demanding voice as it angered her that he hadn't even bothered to try and get back up or say he was hungry.
