Ch1 El Prolouge To JUSTICE MAHARIAL PART ONE

Me and Tamlen had been hunting ALL day when we finally stoped for a drink at a nearby stream, which of course I turned into a battle. I will admit I started it. I splashed first, but it ended with me running dripping wet, auburn hair flying, towards a tree. Why a tree? I have no clue. When I finally reached the top though, I saw something in the forest that shouldn't be there, three shems.

My blue eyes narrowed and I made sure I wasn't seeing things, I wasn't, of course. I jumped down from the tree landing acrobatically in a soft bed of moss, "Tamlen!" I whispered to my hunting mate, who would still be that later tonight exept minus the hunting part, if you catch my drift. "Justice! How did you get over there!" He looked at me shaking his head. "There're some shems a little to close to our camp." He nods looking the way I pointed, falling into an archer's pose, he looks back and whispers to me, "I will go towards them and face them, you stay hidden, in case there is need for help." I roll my eyes, men. They think they can control you, but they can't.

I climb up a tree, and perch. They seem normal. Wearing peasents clothes with tatters in them, they're obviously going to do no harm to the camp. I jump down and roll towards them as Tamlen's about to shoot a red headed human. He looks at me furiously so I shrug, "What do you say Lethallan? What should we do with them?"

I wink at the shems, suprising them, "Well instead of going by tradition and frying and eating their hearts... Let's give them a warning, maybe it'll work better."

He glares at me, "Letting them go may bring more of them. You are too soft." I open my mouth to say who's really soft when human number one decides to say, "L-look...we didn't come here to be trouble. We just found a cave..."

Tamlen rolls his eyes, "A cave? So your more akin to thieves then actual bandits."

I step up, "Well number one, you'd better give 'em some proof or he may go evil eye on ya"

The human nods,"We found this." He holds out a statuette with a lady elf and a halla on it with strange writings.

"Do you know what this is?" Tamlen says holding it towards him like a baby.

"There's more in-in the ruins..." The first one says.

Another one says, "Are you mad what if they drag us along? We'll be killed."

I roll my eyes, "I ain't gonna kill ya."

Human number 2 looks me up and down, "Not you the-the demon!"

I look at him like he's crazy,"What dem-"

"Lethallan," Tamlen interrupts, "it was proabably just a bear, let us deal with these vermin, and go to the cave."

I nod, "Cain't we just let 'em go." His lips tighten and he nods, and the shem run off.

When we get to the cave we go inside to see the biggest spiders, I HAVE EVER SEEN! We quickly cut through them my wonderful ninja, I mean rouge, skills coupled with Tamlen's sword and shield cut through them until we meet a strange statue. "What is that?" I say looking at Tamlen, my favorite history nerd. "You don't recognize it? It is a statue that used to stand everywhere in Arlathan." I step back, straight on a trap that releases a cloud of gas that raises the dead.

We cut through them and rush into the next room where we meet a bear except it had a wicked look as though someone had distorted it. We kill it coughing and hacking the whole time, until Tamlen sees a mirror perched in the middle of the room. "What do you think it says?" I shrugg,"'Do not touch the glass'" He let's out a weak laugh, "Did you see that?" I look at the mirror, "Tamlen don't go near it." I grab his arm, which he breaks out of and walks towards the mirror, when I black out.

And all I know in the darkness, is Tamlen is lost...
