Veduriel woke up with a pounding head. She shook her head slowly trying to clear her vision; it was then that she realized that it was not that she lost her vision but that she had been taken into a cave. Apparently it was still night because she could not see anything, well either that or she did not want to know how deep this demented elf had dragged her into the cave. She sat up attempting to give herself some orientation. From one end of the cave a bit of starlight filtered through.
"So you are finally awake, as lazy as a mortal" a cold voice sliced through the tense air. Veduriel swiveled her head in the direction of the voice, she could not see anything but that voice she knew so very well, "Saurheledion" she whispered. Veduriel then swallowed and spoke slightly louder with some weight in her voice, "I have a name and it is Veduriel." Saurheledion shifted he had gotten up apparently because the next time he spoke it came from above her, "yes, mortal, I am Saurheledion." Veduriel should have been frightened, she should have cowered in the corner, but instead she felt a lot of anger and frustration at her current situation, slowly with menace in her voice Veduriel said, "and why are you doing this Saur?" Oh she knew that she was using his much loathed nickname, also she knew exactly where his motives lay. At this point all she cared about was pissing this elf off as much as she was. The elf grabbed her by her shoulders hard and shook her, but when he spoke his voice was deadly calm, "so the prince will forget you. It won't be long, and even if he tries to find you which I doubt, he won't be able to find this place. The entrance is hidden even from elvish eyes." He threw her to the floor of the cave, she landed hard against a rock ohhhh that's going to leave a mark. Veduriel clutched her injured shoulder, it was slowly becoming apparent that she no longer had any control over what happens, "Great so what the hell are you planning on now. Your bitch of a mistress has lost, Legolas loves me, so sorry but he d-" That's it she succeeded in her goal to piss Saur off, his hand came down hard sending her hugging the ground, "You shall never speak ill of my mistress the lady you could never hope to be!" She hit the ground hard feeling the metallic taste of blood in her mouth, perhaps pissing him off isn't such a good idea Saur came over and nudged her with his boot, she stayed motionless and strained to catch his words that he muttered into the dark, "more trouble than your worth, far too much trouble for one useless, ugly mortal." With that he rose up and Veduriel could make out the footsteps going down the length of the cave. Still she stayed still biting back her sharp tongue, I am not ugly!
Legolas had gone through Veduriel's chambers within twenty seconds and determined that she had never even made it to her rooms. Firreiel leaned against the closed door waiting for the two arguing elves to come to some conclusion. Legolas wanted to search all of the grounds immediately while Lossencristen insisted that questioning Nila first might prove beneficiary. Legolas, being in no hurry to see her again firmly stood his ground. Firreiel rolled her eyes at the two, "Have we forgotten Veduriel is still missing??? Could we do SOMETHING?" Legolas growled at the she-elf making her take a step back against the door, "I am very much aware of this fact Firreiel." At that instant the door was flung wide thus causing Firreiel to be thrown, she would have hit the floor had Lossen not caught her a few inches from the hard stone. Lossen gazed down into Firreiel's dark eyes, "you OK?" Firreiel felt her breath catch and merely nodded. "Ahem" Legolas cleared his throat and the two looked up embarrassedly at Legolas and then followed his gaze to where Nilalquamegilien stood in the doorway.
"What have you done with Saurheledion?" Nila did not loose any time in accusing the prince. Legolas met her gaze, "your servant is missing?" Nila nodded furiously, "how dare you take him!" Lossen responded for his friend, "we don't know where Saur sulked off too. Veduriel has vanished and we are-" "Oh who cares where she is? I need Saurheledion!" Nila exclaimed waving her hand dismissing any situation other than locating her servant, "I require his services now and he must be found!" It took only one quick glance in the enraged prince's direction to snap Firreiel into action, she walked purposefully from Lossen's side heading for the door. On her way out her hand suddenly snapped out and clamped around Nila's wrist. Without any ceremony Nila was pulled yelling and protesting from the room and into Firreiel's own room with the door slamming behind them. Nila's protests were cut off by a loud smacking sound, Lossen's eyebrows shot up. Not making a sound the two elves listened intently for anyother sounds. Firreiel's voice rose up in anger, the two couldn't make out the words but the tone of voice was unmistakable. She was doing what none other had dared to do till that moment, yelling Nila to high heaven and back again. The rapid and angry words went on without pause or lack in cadence for a full fifteen minutes until finally everything fell silent. Firreiel's door opened and the sound of rapid footsteps could be heard making their way quickly down the hallway. Then Firreiel slowly opened the door where Legolas and Lossen listened intently. At their quizzical looks she smiled at the pair, "the lady has decided to return to her homeland . . . soon." Legolas nodded his thanks. Lossen smiled at her, "now Legolas and I can go after Veduriel. I think we are both agreed that Saur has to be in this somehow." Legolas nodded and the two stepped to the door but Firreiel blocked their way. "Firreiel . . . we need to get by" Lossen quietly told her. Firreiel however did not budge, "Legolas and I? You think I can not go after Veduriel? Oh no we three are going after this mortal girl of yours!" Lossen spoke low, "No Firreiel you are a she-elf it would be proper of you to stay here and tend to Veduriel when we bring her back. Don't worry I won't get hurt!" he finished off with a cocky smile. Firreiel's eyes narrowed at him, "it would be PROPER????"
