A collab between me and Thedarktemplar. Argus was suprised bye the sudden voice of the women. " [color=a36209] Reveal yourself Now!."[/color] He stood up and prepared for an attack from any distance. [color=ed1c24]"You still did not answer my question. Be assured that at this point you'll be dead long before you'll see me. So take your chance and answer, maybe you'll live"[/color] Argus cursed with frustration. That annoying smuggnes that perfect stealth. The way she called him a mer. This was an elf to be sure. He relaxed a bit and sat against the bank of the pond. [color=a36209]" If you must know Elf.I am one of the Templars that attacked the hive. What buissnes is it to you anyways[/color] [color=ed1c24]"An elf?!"[/color], the voice laughed heartily before relaxing once more to its usual tone [color=ed1c24]"Why is it you think me an elf? Is it because humans are too clumsy to employ stealth? Is that it? Ah but I've kept up the joke for far too long, you've revealed yourself to me so I shall do the same"[/color]. Suddenly with a faint shimmering sound a figure appeared across the spring from Argus. Standing there was a woman clad in black armor and a cloak of corresponding color. She wore a black hood with hid her face but her vibrant red hair fell from the shadows of the hood. [color=ed1c24]"See, humans are just as impressive as you mer"[/color], she said with a smirk which pierced through the shadows over her face. Argus smikerdes as he pointed her dagger at her. Not in any way to attack.[color=a36209]" Now that i call cheating.[/color] He said with a grin on his face.[color=a36209]'' so let me guess you have come to finish me off didn't you? Well come at me ill say i won't go down withouth a fight.[/color] There was a brief moment of silence before the woman began to laugh heartily as she did before, [color=ed1c24]"Relax I'm not some assassin, at least not today, I've come to meet someone and last I remember they weren't a dwarf"[/color]. The woman knelt on one knee towards the spring feeling the water for a moment. Despite her face being obscured it could be seen from the moment of her hair that she was examining the water while keeping tabs on Argus' location. [color=ed1c24]"So, dwarf, do you have a name or does 'Mer' suite you well enough?"[/color]. [color=a36209]"Hmm lets make a deal. I'll tell my name if you tell yours? That seems fair doesn't it?"[/color]. He said getting annoyed bye the way she was talking to him like a little child who had no clue what was going on. [color=ed1c24]"Coy but two can play this game. Despite what you may think I cannot tell my name. Trust me it's not by choice, the people I work for don't allow me such privileges...but I suppose you may call me 'Red'. Most who meet me do anyway"[/color], Red stood up from where she knelt to walk around the spring, the entire time her eyes focused on Argus as if she expected him to lunge at her at any moment. Stopping halfway towards him she sat at the edge of the pool, taking off her boots before dipping her feet into the waters. [color=ed1c24]"It appears as though I've arrived early, care to pass the time?"[/color], she asked pulling out a flask from behind her cloak. Argus was tempted to have a drink. But since he didn't trust this women in the slightest he decided it would be wise as to grab some drink of his own.[color=a36209]" As tempted as i am ill have to refuse. Because since you are the first to arrive you are thereby my guest. So i will have to give you something to drink."[/color] He stood up and walked towards his horse grabbing the strong drink that bartnder gave him so long ago. He then walked back to the hotsping walked into the water and handed red the bottle.[color=a36209]" You go first."[/color] [color=ed1c24]"I can tell from the scent alone this is of strong stuff. Uldgorin Reserve?"[/color], she asked before taking a sip from the bottle. Almost immediately she began to feel it's effects as a slight dizziness in her head became apparent. Argus not waiting a second lurched forward and punched her right in the face. Knocking her uncouncious.[color=a36209]" Sorry my love but i think the captain has some questions for you.[/color] He put her boots back on and lay her on the riverside. He then quickly dried himself and put on his clothes. He untied the horse and ran to wards red. The first thing he did was take all her weapons away. which where a longsword, a few throwimg knives and a garrote. He then tied her up and started dragging her towards his horse. For a human she sure was heavy. He threw her over the back of the saddle. He then mounted as quick as His small dwarven body could and raced back to the keep. As he arrived into the stable Argus screamed.[color=a36209]" Guards get your asess over here now!![/color] A few guards turned up suprised bye the order they had just been given. Argus dismounted grabbing Red and pulling her off his horse.[color=a36209]" I want you to get her to the dungeons and chain her up. I want two of you to guard her after that.[/color] He then pointed at a scribe and screamed.[color=a36209]" AND YOU GET ME THE CAPTAIN. She is gonna want to see this.''[/color] He said as he looked at his prisoner with a smile of satisfaction on his face.
