The Temple of Lathandar was still well lit as it stood as beacon of light in darkness set against the shadowed and scared town.
Brother Leighton had just settled into the old teke chair at the table to enjoy a late-night snack.Father Sorcha was asleep and he was the only one still awake he opened his mouth to take a bite of his sandwhich when the loud knock came at the door.
"What the.."he asked as he looked up from his food and wondered who or what would be out this late at night.His answers would soon be answered,he reach for his staff and went to the door leaning on the staff he peeked out the door and a gasp came from him.
A beautiful as that was the only way to put was he was beautiful,elf.Long blonde hair was wind blown and tossed about his point ears,he was clad in tones of grey but that only seemed to heighten his beauty was waiting outside on the cobblestone,he was worried and the emotion was written all over his face.
However,it was only a fleeting look for Leighton as he saw that the elf held a very hurt Ania."Ania" he gasped as he reach for the girl who was paler then the elf who had brought her there.
"Please help her.."the elf spoke his voice meledious and soft pleading as he met Leighton's eyes."She was attacked in the woods...by strange wolf creatures" he said in a hurry as Ania was taken from him.
"Yes of course thank you brother..you know you look an awful lot like the Morninglord." Leighton said as he brought a healing hand lightly over the gypsy girl's face his finger glowing with the divine energy of his faith.
Jandar turned to go but as he got five paces away from the front door he heard something that would have stopped his heart had it been beating.
"Jandar" Ania whispered her hands flailing in her sleep and the elven vampire turned back a almost haunted look to his eyes.
With a few graceful movements he was again beside the priest who still stood on the temple front steps and a golden hand brushed her damp red-gold hair back from her face,immediately Ania relaxed and went peaceful again.
It was in that moment that Brother Leighton realized he had compition and looking at the elven man he didn't like it one bit.
"Thank you brother.."he said clipped and turned his back to go back in "She should be fine" he said over his shoulder and the double door shut.
Jandar looked after the departing figures,somehow he felt that he had made an enemy in the young priest.Though Ania recognition of him disturbed him far more,he turned and retreated back to the woods and the cottage to await the coming of the next night when he could get to the bottem of it all.
The sun would soon rise.
After situateing the hurt girl and offering what healing he could to her many cuts bruises and claw marks Brother Leighton left her room with a single light on,the girl was closer to death then either he or Jandar had realized,she was stable for now and Father Sorcha would be able to help her in the morning,still Leighton couldn't help but feel jealous,the elf was surely the reason Ania had been so formal with him rebuffing his affections,with that on mind he returned to his own chamber,tomarrow he planned to find out as much as he could about the elf.
