Hey it's me again, MercuryKnight and I am here to give you the next installment of Kriels Adventures.you know the disclaimer I don't own anything that isn't original and it will stay that way. Enjoy!



Kriel woke up to the sound of Phire snoing in the distance. "He fell asleep again." Kriel muttered to himself. They had been traveling for the past couple of days in the woods of north Cormyr. Kriel got up still in the middle of the night, to stand his watch. He had developed a friendship with Phire and knew the loud brute was only like that when in danger. Phire was one of those strong silent types, and one of the dangerous ones too. Kriel hadn't found much excitement since the day he met Phire and Elise. He did enjoy sparring with Phire but knew he could beat him anytime he wanted.

That night Kriel had talked to Phire about this other guard that Elise had that had the same style as himself. He found out it was a past lover as well as bodyguard. He had been a elf named Merc Selulamon, a well off elf that disappeared during a great battle in the hills of Baldur's Gate. Kriel wondered why she would choose him to stay by her side though, because she didn't trust him much either.

Kriel took a seat up against a tree that overlooked the camp.Lady Elise was fast asleep and so was Phire. Kriel pondered about all those thing that Phire said. Kriel looked up suddenly to the sound of a twig snap. He became very alert but relax at the same time not to give off any sudden movements. He eased his hand down to his left scimitar and waited for the signs of the intruders. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye and seen what he feared, three drow were moving in on the camp at stealthy paces. One of those drow were not the normal male drown but a sorceress by the figure. He crouched to the nearest tree to get ready to spring without alarming the others and the drow.

He sprung just then at the sorceress drow, but to his suprise she was ready for him binding him in a hold person spell."So here you are Kriel Do'Urden, your not so lucky this time. You and your friends will not make it out of this!" The drow sorceress said and began chanting a spell.

A blinding light struck the sorceress adn she was scorched alive burning and shreiking while the white flame engulfed her body. Elise was standing there arms raised and then drawing her sword, the other two drow confurged on Elise with eyes of fury and blades of black steel. Kriel was released from his bindings and he ran at the drow before they could reach her. Phire appeared in front of the two drow, sword raised and in a stance that mocked the drow. The two drow ran head on into Phire swinging swords and moving at speeds only a elf could match. Phire was taking nicks here and there, his face looked like a ball of pain he could only defend against the onslaught. Kriel moved in on the two drow, they noticed him and one of them branched off to attack Kriel. The first drow feinted to the right raising his right sword to strike, but Kriel was ahead of him spinning around his feint and coming up with his left sword to strike at his back. The drow deflected the blow and came up with it's right to swing at Kriels neck, Kriel deflected it with his right sword then struck at the drows chest.Kriels' blow struck dead on killing the drown and splatting blood all over Kriels' vest.

Kriel looked over to see Phire still defending against the drow, but he wasn't doing to good. There was blood running over his arms and face, and the pain that Phire was going through was wearing him down. Elise yelled something and Phire dove into a near bush as the exploded into a bloody mass, that splattered the near by trees.Kriel was thrown onto the dead sorceress and his hand graised a sharp object on her person. He was a little dazed but got up and examined the object. it was a bracelet the ran the length of her forarm and it wasn't damaged in the least.

Kriel heard a scream and turned to see a sword through Elises' middle, blood sprayed onto the ground and the sword was pulled out by a silver haired human. " hahahaha...... you shall follow me with that bracelet, it will take you were you desire or randomly put you somewhere else. This lovely thing almost killed me, but oh well." The man was looking down at Elises' dead body. He let out a laugh and looked at Phire then Kriel. " You shall come and join me or you will die. I give you a couple of days I will come to you." then the man vanished.

Kriel looked at Phire who now was by Elise and crying a river for her. Kriel looked at the braclet and thought " all I need is to put this bloody thing on. Phire lets bury her and go after the bastard!" Kriel said while clinching his teeth together.

"Ok Kriel, lets give her a proper burial." He picked Elise up and wlak her over to a blanket.

After a couple hour it became daylight and Kriel and Phire had said their prays and Kriel looked at Phire. "Ready?" Kriel said while getting the bracelet out.

"As ready as I'll ever be" Phire said while steadying his sword.

Kriel put on the bracelet. There was a flashing light and they were on a mountain side. Phire stammered something and pointed up. Kriel looked up to see a gigaintic bird.
