Chapter 3
The young elves were all sitting around a large wooden table, laughing, eating, not one worry to bother them. Osirian had just finished making fun of Urias, when they noticed he wasn't there. They called his name, and looked at each other with raised eyebrows.
"Wait!" said Laus. "Has anyone seen him since we got here?"
They all shook their heads looking a little bit worried. They started looking for him in all the places he could be. No sign of him.
"Maybe he went to the Waterfall." Braios suggested trying to be calm about his friend's disappearance.
They all nodded, and quickly got on their horses. Aril followed looking surprised and wanting to know were their companion was. They all rode down the path they came for a brief period of time and then separated from the path through a deep forest. The forest was very beautiful; there were many beautiful song birds and various flowers that gave off a magnificent fragrance. They rode through the trees with green leaves for about a half hour, when they reached a clearance were there was a loud sound, like water falling (of course the elves had heard since they had reached the forest). In this clearance was a beautiful waterfall that fell in a large pool, and in the pool lay Urias on his back looking at the sky. They all sighed with relief.
"You annoying little elf you had us worried crazy." yelled Lorriana.
Urias turned his lazy eyes towards them and than returned to his position. They all looked rather stumped. No "hello", no "ha ha, you fell for it"? Something was not right. They got closer to the pool, when they all stopped dead in their tracks. Hundreds of the flying creatures were standing around the pool. Urias kept on smiling and looking at the sky.
"You." Osirian began, drawing his large enchanted sword. Braios concentrated and a beautiful mytril sword appeared in front of him, barring the same design as the wooden one. Lorriana had another sword with many jewels on the hilt.
"Lorriana stay back with Aril." commanded Laus, and Lorriana obeyed taking to the princess's side. "The rest of you, keep your guard up. Osirian you know what to do."
Osirian nodded, closed his eyes and started muttering words under his breath. Laus, Lorriana, Aril and Osirian were covered in a coat of mythril. Braios had already activated his armor which not a coat but a full armor of mythril (this was obviously the use of elf magic because no fire can join mythril in that manor or create inscriptions like that on Braios' armor). The creatures had the first blow; they all shrieked and attacked the elves. Osirian made a hand gesture and pointed towards a group of the creatures which were instantly obliterated. Laus proved to be faster then anything else these things had ever seen, being barely visible he jumped and performed multiple slashes on his foes that fell to the ground being nearly cut in half. Braios slashed through his foes with tremendous ease; his sword went as far as he took it and many of the creatures were cut in half completely, vertically and horizontally. None of them got to Lorriana, who looked rather disappointed. One of the evil beings let off a loud cold shriek and they all retreated. Urias was now lying in the middle of the pond with many wounds on his chest and torso. They all seemed surprised except Osirian.
"This is why he ignored us." the drow said. "Those things put a spell on him that made it look like he was just lying there. They must have ambushed him right after we got to the training range."
"Oh my!" said Aril, looking exasperated. Laus pointed his finger at Urias and the wounds disappeared. The ambushed elf slowly started swimming towards them; they all met him at the shore and helped him to his feet. He looked very tired. "Th-they atta." he paused gaping for breath. "Attacked me, after we (pause) got to the range. Inserted something in me and (he looked ready to pass out) it made me t-t." he passed out. The young elves looked horror struck. They raced back to the castle, which was switched to high alert after the news was passed out that Urias was ambushed by the evil creatures. The council of the wise met in the castle, to discuss the matter; many white bearded elves were there talking silently among each other. The council came to order and the meeting began. The young heroes were watching over their wounded friend. Osirian cursed out loud. "Damn!! We can't let them get away with this, who knows what they put in 'im." They all turned their sad eyes towards the ground. Aril started crying in a corner and Braios went to comfort her. Laus concentrated and put his open hands over Urias, their eyes were closed. Urias' body started to glow strangely, and he shot out off bed looking at them with his eyes wide open. "They made me tell." he said, with a blank expression. "I don't remember what, though." "Urias?" "Who knows what secrets I exposed to them? I'm sorry!" he said putting a hand to his brow and falling on the bed. The thunder boomed outside and a terrible storm began; the wind howling, the heavy clouds shooting thunder and lightning towards the unsuspecting earth. "If the city will fall. it'll be my fault. I'm so sorry!"
