hey I'm MercuryKnight, This is my third fanfic. I'm really excited about
this one. anyway the disclaimer on this is that I do not own the rights to
the last name Do'Urden because wizards of the coast and R.A. Salatore does.
I'm just borrowwing that and some other things as well.Well I might as well
get started
Kriel Do'Urden looked up at the sky for his tenth straight week of being above the Underdark. He looked around anxietly at his surroundings. He still was running from the major houses of the drow city. He pulled his black cloak around him, his lavender eyes sparkled as the sun was rising from the east. he needed to find some new weapons because his scimitars were becoming more brittle by the day. Her should as tall as any other drow and his greenish blue hair stood out more that the regular white of other drow. His dark skin would stand out in any city so his attempts at going to a city were futile. He had thought of going to a orc or gnoll camp and going into their ranks till he could fend for himself, but he disliked most evil things now. He had decided this day would be the turningpoint for him. He was going to leave the comforts of his cave in the mountains and try to fit in somewhere.
Kriel got all the stuff he need ready and buried the other thing that would leave a traced to be followed. He started off by noon to the west, a long travel he expected.
He walked till mid afternoon and stopped at the sound of a fight going on in the forest. He got into the first stance that came to mind, drawing his scimitars and crouching into a defencive stance. Slowly walking to the scene of the sword clanging, he looked over the bush to see seven orcs attacking a human and an elf. He examined the fight as it was happening. Three orcs were hammering at the elf and the others almost have the human pinned against a tree. The human was male very tall and rugged with lots of scars and his swordmanship was a little sloppy to drow standards that is. The elf was female with a grace to match a drow and beauty as deadly as the grace. She has blonde hair and by what kriel could see one green eye and the other was blue.
He decided to spring into the fight, his jump landed him in the middle of the humans fight. The fighter looked at the drow with a shocked and fearful look in his eyes, like he knew he was going to die. The orcs stopped and were just as shocked and scared. they charged at Kriel as soon as they got over the shock. Kriel took advantage of their shock though, he swung in with his left blade and jabbed in with his right to take one of the orcs out within moments. When the orcs charged they wereto late to late to stop their deaths. Kriel exacuted a feint to the right, left scimitar swinging out to take one orc in the stomach and the right scimitar piercing the chest of another orc. They fell down to the ground blood splattered all over the ground painting it in reddish black.
Kriel spun around to the fighter, and bowed to the fighter who had his sword raised to attack to drow right then and there."I am Kriel Do'Urden and here to help" he said and a smooth regal voice.
"I'm Phire Light protector of Lady Elise of Shadowdale" The fighter said in a rough loud voice" I am grateful". He raised his blade in a warriors salute.
Kriel turned to help the elven warrioress but turned to find the ugly green orcs down for the count.The ugly faces of those green skinned freaks could scare the wits out of anyone but warriors. He looked at the face of the elf and knew he should hate this woman because of the hatred of drow to elves and vice versa. Kriel could not look away from the beauty of one so fair. Kriel realized he was being pinned to a tree with the tip of a sword pushing slightly against his thoat.
"well lets not get hasty here, I only came to help!" Kreil said pushing harder against the tree. " I heard fighting and came to see what was going on!" Kriel couldn't go back any further the blade was starting to draw blood.
"Well drow you first dare to show your dirty face above the ground and help your enemy" the elf said with a snear in her voice. " Any other elf would of struck you down by now but why did you help me?" she kept the b;ade where it was and stopped putting presure on it.
" I didn't like the odds, plus I might as well do something good I'm sick of the things that happen down there." Kriel said pointing down to the ground. " Also my whole house was destroyed and only a handful escaped so you still might find others like me helping people like you." Kriel tried to relax a little, but ahd a hard time with the blade at his throat.
Lady Elise stood there for a second thinking about all this in her head. "Ok I'll let you live but you are coming with us so i can keep an eye on you." She relaxed her sword and sheathed it. Phire walked over to Elise and bent down to whisper something to her. Elise nodded and looked at Kriel. " You will be one of my honor gaurd" she said then turned to walk away.
Kriel caught up to Elise and walked at a steady pace with her. " So why would you want me to protect you??" Kriel asked while staying by her side.
"Your style of fighting reminded me of someone I once knew" Elise said with a tightness in her voice."He was my last protector"
Kriel slowed down some, and had a look of suprise on his face. Some one has a style like mine, i thought mine was original to drow. Kriel thought shockingly.
They walked for a couple of hours more before making camp for the night. it started to get dark and Phire set out to get wood and hunt for food.He came back with some berries and some rabbit meat."foods here." Phire said and set the rabbit in a metal pot.He cooked up supper and Kriel really enjoyed the flavor of the rabbit. They sat down for the night, Kriel looked up at the night sky know that he found a way to get out of his past life of death and killing other drow. He knew that there would be more to come but he just had to wait to find out
Well that was the end of part one I hope you enjoyed.
