Yer not to be thinkin it's a good thing are ye? Catti-brie asked: Her thick auburn hair gently caressing her companions shoulder. Drizzt Sat motionless watching the last rays of sunlight receding across the land heralding the end of another day. "Catti-brie" Drizzt replied, looking down and away in an attempt to avoid her penetrating gaze.
I want you four to train yer arrows on the drow elf and you two on the frail; the rest of you with me; The leader of the band proclaimed, he was a big man more a kin to an ogre than a human, but unlike his ogre ancestry. His brains were more from his human side. Remember the signal if I scratch my head, fire. The archers in the band fanned out slowly using the noise their leader and his henchmen made to mask their movements as their very successful ploy dictated.
After casting numerous defensive spells about him as well as many illusionary to hide his true form, Lution was ready. With a few waves of his hands he had teleported to the surface as the last rays of light slowly left the mountainside. Almost immediately he felt the presence of others about in the Vale below him. Using his magic's to bring him swiftly and soundlessly to a more advantageous position Lution spied the band of thugs and there intended prey. This should be amusing he thought to himself.
"Catti-brie" Drizzt stated again the words coming slowly as he brought them up from his innermost feelings; I love you . The relief washing over him, turning he looked into her eyes for the first time since they started this topic. And received a light crack on the head in the process. It took ye long enough ya derned elf" Catti-brie said, "I think you should be kissin me now" leaning across they embraced losing themselves in their passion for one other.
"So Sorry to be enterupting your beautiful moment but we will be needing all of your valuables now" Said the Approaching leader of the brutish band.
Instantly coming alert both Catti-brie and Drizzt sprang to their feet feeling somewhat embarrassed at their lack of noticing the interrupting group. Drizzt's Twin Scimitars seeming to materialize in his hands while Catti-brie pulled cutter from her hip in one fluid motion. "ye boys must be dumber than a rock if yer thinkin of robbin the likes of us" Catti-brie stated somewhat harshly.
"My dear girl we are not going to rob you but merely collect the toll owed us for keeping this part of the wood clear of thieves and Ruffians" The leader proclaimed moving closer with every word till he was about 10 feet from the hero's position.
"Which one's?" said Catti-brie in an attemp to gauge Drizzt's next move. "I can take them all with minimal effort" Drizzt stated, lavender eyes shining brightly. "if yer thinkin im to be sitting this one out yer wrong" turning drizzt looked at Catti-brie and asked, "ok then which one's?" hardly suppressing the smile that was starting to make its way onto his face. "Oh but you're a funny one when you want to be" said Catti-brie. "tis my desire to be teachin that one a lesson" she said referring to the leader of the band.
"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt again we really should be moving this along some" stated the leader reaching up to scratch his head.
Six arrows sped towards the targets.
Drizzt responding instantly with blinding speed, scimitars moving in a blur defecting all threats aimed towards himself. Catti-brie was able to dodge one of the arrows and bring cutter up in an attempt to block the other arrow inching its way towards her chest. Which to her credit she did somewhat, suddenly feeling searing pain and an uncontrollable weakness in all of her limbs. Catti-brie fell to the ground blood erupting from the mortal wound in her neck.
Death itself could not have moved faster, within the span of six heartbeats six men fell to the ground never to rise again. The archers seeing their companions fall in such a way, reacted as a rabbit from the wolf, running for dear life. They didn't have a chance.
Drizzt moved with equal speed as he did in dispatching the thugs, and before the last archer's had hit the ground he was at Catti-brie's side watching helplessly as the last of Catti-brie's life blood left her body pooling on the ground around her.
"Now that was magnificent" thought Lution as he watched the drow elf move. Slowly, silently he made his way towards the totally unprepared elf.
