Nakara pulled her hood in tight as the human city came into view in the distance. It was raining, and her heavy cloak was wet and beginning to be uncomfortable. She stopped by a tree and raised her right hand up, signaling her troops to stop as well. She scanned the area quickly, and then turned to her second in command. “You and the rest of the elves wait here. This part of the order was meant for just me, and I know most of you don’t want to enter the city. I can take care of it-don’t do anything stupid, just wait here.”

The elf looked into her green eyes and nodded, giving no sign of complaint. She started to depart, and then thought of something. She took off the short bow and quiver and handed it to the elf, “Hang on to these.” She left the wooded cover and made her way onto the road, following it through a wide open area of farms and grassy plains. She didn’t take much time to observe her surroundings, but instead walked as fast as she could through the rain towards the city. The road was rather muddy and slowed her down more then she liked, but she was used to this kind of travel.

In what seemed like forever to Nakara, but what was actually a short time, she made her way to the entrance of a smaller human city. It smells foul here. Hopefully this won’t take too long…I’m not even sure why I’m finding an elf in a human city. What elf in their right mind would want to live here. She made her way through the city trying as much as possible to ignore the stench of the machinery around, and keep her mind connected to the nature in the distance. The loud noises seem to surround her delicate ears and attempt to crush her mind. She rubbed her temples a little as she walked, hoping to prevent the headache she was acquiring from getting any worse. The letter said that he’d be waiting outside a building that looked like a castle… She wandered around the town, partially lost when she spotted a building that looked slightly bigger then everything else. It was made out of an interesting black rock, and seemed to have various decorative sculptures around it. This must be it. She walked up to the fairly large gates and waited for any hint of what she was doing there. She pulled back her green hood, revealing her shoulder length green hair and her elf ears pointing out of it.

Another bit of time passed, and Nakara began to grow impatient, her hair begging to soak through. She felt like she was beginning to be soaked all the way through, and wanted out of this annoying rain. Just when she thought about leaving, the doors opened up, and a couple of mages escorting an elf came out of the castle, walking her way. This should be interesting.

She watched as they approached, noting every little detail she could, and put on the happiest smile she could. “Nakara Felnor, I suppose I’ll be your guardian of sorts for awhile. Nice to meet you.”
