Drizzt was really beginning to tire. The sweat was rolling down his face
and stinging his eyes. His arms were becoming rubber. He sloppily blocked a
few more shots.
"Catti-brie?" He called out over the ringing of the weapons. Catti- brie heard him and her heart leaped in her chest. At least he was alive. She called out a reply.
"Drizzt are ye alright? Where are ye?" Drizzt smiled. He was glad she was all right. He quickly glanced around and saw her above him on the hill.
"I'm below you. I'm all right as far as I can tell. We need to get out of here. There is too many!" He shouted back to her.
"I never noticed!" She said under her breath.
"You are right." A voice replied. She quickly spun around. A drow looked back at here and smiled. He held something in his hand that looked similar to Regis's pendant. The magic was much more potent than Regis's. She found herself staring into the gem without even realizing it. She stood there staring into the gem completely unaware that nine more drow were quickly closing in behind her. The drow in front of her just continued to smile as he twisted the gem back and forth. Her expression of contentment quickly changed to one of puzzlement as a rope was pulled around her. She tired to cry out but all that came out was a quick shriek as a heavy hand silenced her from behind. She tired to bite the hand that held her but the attacker had his hand cupped so she couldn't. She couldn't move either. Her mind raced. What was going on? She looked down at Drizzt and she wished she could cry out to him. She knew he'd be up in a flash but she couldn't so she turned her eyes back to her attackers.
The one that tricked her had taken her bow and sword and was hanging them up on the tree. Before he stuck the sword up he came over to Catti- brie, grinning wickedly he took her sword and cut her cheek with it, just enough to leave blood on the sword. She jerked violently only to be rewarded with a hard punch on the other cheek. She gave up and just stood there all tied up and glared menacingly at her attackers. The drow just laughed, not a heartfelt laugh full of love like Drizzt's, no this was a more evil and maniacal laugh. The drow turned away and pulled out a piece of paper and stuck it into the tree with the blade. Catti-brie tried to read the letter but failed as her attention was turned to Drizzt's voice.
"Catti-brie? Are you all right up there?" He called out. The drow looked at each other and quickly grabbed Catti-brie and they ran off into the woods, dragging her as she tried to stop her descent. "Drizzt!" Bruenor called out to his drow friend. Bruenor, Wulfgar and Regis had escaped the fray and were now frantically looking for their friend.
Drizzt heard the call but was to winded to return it. As it was the call made him lose his attention to the battle for an instant, but in that instant, with his reflexes slowed, Drizzt had no time to react to the oncoming ax aimed at him.
"There he is!" Regis cried out to Wulfgar and Bruenor. They all watched the horrible moment as Drizzt was hit in the shoulder by the kobold's ax.
"Drizzt!" Regis and Bruenor called out at the same instant. Wulfgar without even thinking jumped into the sea of kobolds. Ignoring the stings of their weapons licking his flesh he made his way to his fallen friend and picked him up. He quickly rushed up to Bruenor and Regis.
"Run!" he shouted at them as the companions made their way into the forest.
Well, what did you think? The main idea is finally starting to come into play. Sorry it took so long... As always, read and reply!
