Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ellie breathed tightly as she parted her lips, sucking in air and breathing it back out as she saw it in front of her. She really rarely ever left the forest, finding little to none of a reason why she would want to leave her great tree god. Besides the weather was so perfect out there, she really just loved to play there all day with the younger elfs and well...frolick. But, she had been told by her mother that they were running out of offerings to give the nature spirit, and what spirits these days liked were money offerings. So she had been sent here to get into the mountains and try to get some expensive jewels. But none of this was making sence to Ellie at all, considering when she was little, her father told her that the nature spirit was so pure that it didn't like to be touched with unholy devilish things like money. Her father had passed away, so she could not question the motives that belonged to her mother, and she was usually a fairly obdient girl when it came to her mother, so she didn't think about that as she continued up the moutain. She was slightly lost, but she knew that she was on the second resting area, and since she had gotten there that morning and now it was almost nightfall, she defintely decided to take a rest there. The girl was freezing, but found it slightly alright, since she dressed as much as she thought she could -- she really hated many layers of clothing. Her fair, tanned shoulders gave away that was the sorce of her cold though, seeing as her fabric around her upper body was cut at odd angels, and covered her arms graciously. Besides that she wore a long brown skirt that covered up her ankels when she walked, and she frowned as she glanced down to her feet that were covered with shoes. It was rare that she would use this much clothing, and as she put a strand of hair behind her ear, she realized she even was ristricted from the normal flowers that were intertwined in them. Sighing once more, she got over this though, reamining postive at the warm fire that lay in front of her from some stranger who left a few minutes ago. She curled up her body lightly on a log, closing her eyes as she enjoyed the warmth.

Ellie was almost falling asleep, but she wasn't too tired yet, and had trained her body with the help of the Great Tree friends to not sleep unless completly safe. She basically had a back up energy source built inside her own body to keep her from passing out, and she could use it at any time when her normal body was threatning to pass out. But as said before, the female wasn't tired. That being said her eyes opened when she heard snow crunch lightly and turned over slightly, her eyes focusing on a young male, with more firewood in his hands. Oh right! Of course there wouldn't be someone to build a fire and then suddenly leave...she should have caught onto that. She stood up though, immdately rising to her feet, and heading over to him to apologize. "Hey, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to intrude-..." she had started till she caught up with how gorgeous this guy in front of her was! "Kyaaaa! Your so good-looking!" Ellie squeeked, obviously not good at containing herself. She exaimined him in a circle slightly, and couldn't help but wrap her arms around his stomach, giving him a quick squeeze. She really wouldn't do that too much more if it was proven that he wasn't into the whole hug thing, or the touching thing. Because even though she was a bit loud for an elf at times, she was honest, and just wanted to keep people happy. She backed up from him though, bowing her head lightly, "Sorry, I just haven't been out for a while, and it's good to see another person, I sort of worried that I'd be all desolated and alone..." she added with a sigh and a smile. "My name's Ellie." she added kindly.

Velve d'Ulnen slowly raised his head and looked up the path before him with dead eyes. For many years now, Velve has been blind since an injury acquired through one of his many missions. For his loyal service to Verrwung, he had been rewarded a different kind of sight, echo location, much like a bat but went much further and returned with much more detail. As he snapped his fingers to produce a sound, the world around him lit up with a black and white image. The scenery around him came alive as the sound waves of his snapped passed and the image remained in his mind a minute before having to snap once more. Using this sight, Velve slowly progressed up the pathway toward the city at the other end. He stopped briefly at the first stop to gain a sense of his location. He snapped and waited much longer than usual, about 3 minutes, for the sound to return to him and for the image around him to form in his mind. He then travelled on.

Oblivious to the incoming threat, or threats as it were, Velve continued to travel in his usual manner. The light chill of the night wrapped around him in a cool embrace. Unknown to him, it was in fact night, the only thing that cued him to it was the chill. After snapping once more to release a sound, he noticed the image that would appear in his mind would not fade in a particular area. There was some sort of dominate sound or source of vibration somewhere within that area or beyond it that captured his attention. Velve reached for his back to grab his daggers, taking initiative to a possible threat.

Velve turned as the figures approached, one after the other. The expression on his face remained the same as he reached for one of the two daggers at his back as the first figure approached. He remained stable as the first figure moved around him, seeming to ignore her questions as he was too focused on a plan of attack, or defence in this situation. As the second figure approached, he actually listened to the questions asked and responded accordingly. "My purpose is with Verrwung and him alone." Velve begun. "Now, I'd suggest you continue as you were before my tolerance wanes." Velve ended before progressing forward. With both figures now there, he could clearly "see" them. Every movement, every breath, everything. Everything they could do generated noise or vibrations, which made his sight.
