"Dammit Zero! Stop chugging that mug and help me out here!" Kelisa growled angrily as she held onto the fishing pole with a tight grip, she had a big one on the line and the strong string was about to snap. Zero chugs the mug down as he lets out a heartful laugh before filling his mug back up, "You're a strong lady, if a simple fish can kick your ass I'd hate to see you on the battlefield." Zero laughs once more as he walks off with his mug; muttering something about how weak women are.
Kelisa growled lowly as she gripped the fishing pole tighter before it could slip out of her hands. "I'm going to lose it! Damn you Zero this is our dinner!" Kelisa yelled out behind her as she heard Zero whistling to the wind, curse that idiotic male.
Kelisa felt the fishing pole start to slip from her hands as a pair of strong hands grab hold of the fishing pole along with hers, turning around to see the gold eyes of Dori. With the help from the gold eyed rogue Kelisa caught the large fish as it stumbled onto the earth and started to wobble around the place, it was huge as it had many different colored scales. Admiring the beautiful scales of the fish she had almost forgotten about her anger towards Zero.
"Do excuse my brother; he can be a prick sometimes but I can assure you, if this was a battlefield he would be by your side in a heartbeat." Dori smiled lightly as he returned to the campfire and prepared to skin and cook the freshly caught fish. Kelisa felt a slight tingle of happiness mixed with anger and rage, she liked the idea of Zero being there for her but she hated the man in general.
Growling in rage as she unlatched one of her throwing knives and sent it flying towards Zero, "Only Elune knows how much I hate you right now!" Zero turned swiftly as he held his mug up and let the throwing knife stab into it. The thickness of the oak wood prevented the knife from going any further. Frowning slightly as he held the mug up and let the pouring brew flow into his mouth, setting the mug down as he glared angrily towards Kelisa.
Kelisa grinned when she noticed she finally caught his attention. "Yeah that's right you smelly fat ogre come at me!" Kelisa held up the fishing pole as she mocked Zero even more with it. Zero frowned as he quickly rushed towards Kelisa with intense speed, she almost fell victim to his charge but her fast reaction saved her from the fatal blow. Kelisa swiftly found her way behind the enraged warrior as she swatted the back of his head with her fishing pole.
Dori watched the two carefully as he stabbed the large fish through the skull killing it instantly before grabbing the back of its fin and pulled it towards his table and started to scrape the scales off the large fish that was caught; nothing between the two gave him the reason to stop the fight. Zero let his rage overwhelm him as he finally caught hold of Kelisa's slippery figure, gripping hold of her arm tightly as his leg swept under hers sending her off-balance and giving him the upper hand.
Kelisa felt her body slip off the ground along with the stone grip of Zero's hand on her arm, having to think fast Kelisa let her balance go as she used Zero's brutal strength for her roundhouse kick. Letting her legs sweep off the earth below her she took her left leg and brought it up towards Zero's face, seeing that the overly raged warrior hadn't expected the attack Kelisa swiftly took the distraction and aimed for his open flesh.
Zero recoiled from Kelisa's body as he released her arm and blocked her next kick, letting his body stumble back some to give him distance from the woman before him. "Alright you monkey kicking jackass. Let's get serious here." Zero unsheathed his long sword as he changed his stance into a ready charge.
Kelisa laughed mockingly as he held her fists up and prepared herself to fist fight the warrior she wasn't going to let him have the last laugh from this fight like most of the others. Dori put his scraping knife and fish down onto the make-shift table and stood up yet he wasn't fast enough to catch Zero as he charged off long sword in hand towards Kelisa.
Kelisa held her fists up as she smiled softly while she easily dodged Zero's long sword. Not expecting Zero to thrust his elbow towards her face, Kelisa recoiled back as she threw her fist up and caught his arm before his long sword swung back towards her once more. The weight and power of Zero's charge left a sickening loud crack breaking between the two as they both shifted their attention to the ground below them, following the loud crack came the rushing sound of water and the cold shock from the loss of body control.
Dori dashed towards the broken edge of the riverbank to see Zero and Kelisa pulled down into the heavy rush of the river. Cursing under his breath as he follow alongside the riverbank trying to keep his eyes locked on the two struggling figures being pulled deeper into the rushing river. His chase ended at the edge of the waterfall, all he could do was watch the two helplessly figures get washed over the waterfall.
Jade lowered her body to faintly match the branch she was quietly perched upon, gold eyes peered out of the bush below the tree as both Night Elf and Beast thought alike. Standing not far from where the two had been stealthed at was a fully grown Buck, a doe and a fawn. Dori had told the two to scan the area for any sign of living creatures, and what Jade had found would be their meal for the next two days.
Shadowclaw was the first to move in as he swiftly picked up speed and bombarded the large Buck from behind. Loud growling and slashing of the claws to flesh could be heard, Jade wasted no time as she knocked back one of her arrows and caught the fawn square in the chest; making the doe flee into the woods. Silently congratulating herself with her sharp shooting she moved her attention towards the struggling buck and Shadowclaw. The beast was actually giving the King of Nightsabers a worthy fight.
Jade knocked back another arrow as her bow aimed for the bucks head, making sure she found a clear shot without harming her Nightsaber companion. It was a split second opening as Jade's eyes grew large while releasing the arrow as it cut through the air around it and landing a perfect shot through the bucks antlered head.
Shadowclaw pulled his fangs out of the buck's neck as he glared at Jade rather annoyed. Throwing her bow across her back as she tightened her quiver around her upper right thigh, waving off the sabers expression she walked over towards the fawn as she tied its hooves together; making it easier to carry back to the camp.
Jade looked at Shadowclaw as the Nightsaber quietly pulled the large buck through the quiet and still forest. There hadn't been much of anything within these forests since they set out earlier today towards Suramar, the thought of returning home gave Jade a sickening feeling yet she felt homesick at the same time.
Returning to camp only to find Dori as he cleared off his make-shift table from all of the fish scales from the previous fish he had skinned. A pot was set atop the campfire full of water as Dori cut up herbs before sprinkling the cut up herbs into the water. Jade and Shadowclaw set the Buck and Fawn beside the table before walking off to wash off.
Dori looked at the healthy hunt before turning his attention towards the unnaturally large Nightsaber and Jade, somewhat surprised they had even found deer meat in these forests.
Jade stripped herself of her fur boots and thick leather vest as she inspected the broken off pieces of riverbank just a few feet away from her, she did not remember the section of that landscape being broken before her and Shadowclaw's hunt. Slightly confused she dipped her loose silver hair into the water as she felt the paws of Shadowclaw batting at her silver locks of hair in the easy flow of the riverbank.
Pulling her hair to her side as she twisted it around attempting to drain it of the river water; without luck Jade retied her thick leather vest around her chest before joining Dori back near the camp, Shadowclaw shook many times drying his thick winter fur out while he wondered off to find a large amount of remaining spring grass.
Dori's gold eyes locked onto Jade's emerald ones as the two kept their silent and awkward stare for what seemed like ages. Jade was the first to break the stare off as she walked over towards her packed traveling bag, sitting with her legs crossed as she rummaged through her belongings.
Dori walked over towards the pot of water as it slowly started to rise to a boil, adding a few raw vegetables and more herbs and seasonings before returning to his seat and continued sharpening his twin daggers.
The two daggers were a sight to be seen from afar, one was bathed in dark magic that dripped with what looked to be black ooze yet the essence wasn't there; it was like a shadow of evil. The other twin blade was bathed in a pure white essence as it let off a radiant glow of warmth and life.
Jade had always been fascinated with Dori's blades since back in the bandit village when he saved her with the white twin dagger yet she could never ask him about them; least she didn't know how to bring up the conversation without it being strange. Packing her traveling back once more after pulling out two silver strings and wrapping them around her arm still sitting with her legs crossed, Jade pulls all her hair to her left side as she picks up her brush and brushes her silver locks into a smooth silky touch.
Deciding to make small talk between the two seeing that Shadowclaw had ran off and left her; Jade had no other choice. "So the broken landscape near the riverbank, what happened there? It wasn't like that when I and Shadow left to go hunting." Jade finished brushing her silver hair as she began to braid the pieces together slowly.
Dori rested his white twin dagger onto the make-shift table as he un-sheathed his black one and began to sharpen that one; his gold eyes looked up towards Jade for a short moment before he responded to her. "Nothing serious, Zero refused to aid Kelisa in catching our dinner tonight; so after Kelisa reeled the fish in, she beat him upside the head with the fishing pole." Dori found himself grinning as he spoke the last part, something about seeing his brother getting beat with a fishing pole tickled his funny bone.
Jade took a moment to let the thought of Zero getting hit with the fishing pole sink it, she wished she could've been here when that happened. Looking around the camp to spot the two; seeing that neither of them was here she returned her attention towards Dori as he quietly continued to sharpen his dagger.
"So where are they at anyways?" Jade's voice called out as she finished braiding her hair as she laid it flat against her left shoulder.
Dori smiled slyly to himself as he finished sharpening the black twin dagger, sheathing the two before covering them up with two different cloths, one had been white and the other was a midnight blue; but what struck Jade as odd was which piece of the cloth he put on the daggers.
Dori covered his black twin dagger with the white cloth before sheathing it and putting it back onto his belt, as for the white one he covered it with the midnight blue cloth as he strapped it to his other side.
"Well if you want to know where they went, that's a mighty easy question to answer." Dori stated as he walked over towards the pot over the campfire and slowly stirred the boiling veggies.
Jade waited patiently for him to continue speaking before she spoke a word. Dori had noticed her silent as he rested the steel spoon atop the make-shift table.
"As you know my brother likes to drink a lot, which makes his ego swell up. When Kelisa hit him with the fishing pole, his ego busted into a million little pieces." Dori spoke with a straight face, there were some moments be didn't even know how to two were related. "Kelisa taunted him into a fight as she mocked him by going empty handed; Zero let his man pride get the best of him as the two fought. Zero's charge broke off the riverbank cliff and the two fell into the rushing water." Dori summed up what happened as he sat back in his chair relaxed.
Jade felt horror wash over her as she swiftly stood up and glared at Dori with a hard stare. Almost as if he doesn't care the two got washed away and most likely downed in the waterfall at the end of the riverbank. Jade let out a sharp whistle as she threw her boots back on and grabbed her long sword, from the shadow parts of the quiet forest came the large Nightsaber beast.
Dori sat back as he watched Jade rush back and forth gathering things and strapping it to Shadowclaw's large figure, letting out a quiet laugh thinking that she wouldn't hear him; but he was wrong. Jade turned her attention to the gold eyed rogue before frowning, "What are you laughing about Dori? That's your brother and Kelisa out there, why haven't you gone to find them?" Jade's temper rose a little with each passing second.
Dori casted a smile towards her as he sat forward in his chair to stroke Shadowclaw's mane, him and the Nightsaber had seemed to settle down and become friends since this morning. "My brother's drunk, they'll be fine." Dori said flatly he obviously wasn't worried about either of them.
Jade glared at him like he was crazy while Shadowclaw lay down near his feet, the saber seemed to agree with Dori as he shrugged the supplies off his back; sighing defeated as Jade picked up the supplies and returned them to where she had found them. Sitting beside her belonging as she waited for Zero and Kelisa to find their way back.
