Forest Haven: The Tale of the Elves

[Blank Slate]

Legolas wiped the sweat from his brow as he jumped from tree branch to tree branch, heading back in the direction of his camp. He hadn't had much luck hunting, only able to take out a couple of deer, but then again he hadn't really been trying. For some odd reason, he just didn't feel up to it today.

As he neared his camp, he became aware of something off in his surroundings. It was as if someone, or something else was in the area, which annoyed him. No one usually came in the vicinity of his camp, it was almost like an unspoken rule between him and the inhabitants of the forest. NO one set foot near his camp, and he didn't wreak havoc.

Finally, jumping off the last branch he landed right by his camp site.

Phyra was jolted awake by the slight prod of a muzzle on her shoulder. Cbet, the appaloosa stallion, looked at Phyra with a knowing gaze in his brown eyes. Phyra touched Cbets mind with her own though she was sure she knew what was up. The forest smells and sounds became sharper. She could smell that it was the male elf coming back by way of the trees.

Phyra didn’t bother trying to disappear before he arrived. Instead she simply drew her sword and lay it across her lap. At the same time she sat up making her bow and quiver easy to access if she needed them.

All the horses except Cbet moved so that they were behind her. Cbet stayed close so that if she needed to mount a horse he was in easy reach.

Suddenly the male elf landed in his camp. Phyra knew she might be wrong but he looked pissed. Phyra waited for him to speak knowing he would probably want to know why she was still nearby.
