Chapter Three

Katara had gotten the three boys some clothing, which made them extremely happy, since they refused to leave the hotel room they had. In fact the group of four did not leave the room until the next day, when they were out hunting for breakfast. The streets were crowded with normal people of the Avatarverse, and there was not a Sue or Stu to be seen yet. There was however a giant suit of robotic snake armour that was busy trying to repair damages with archaic tools.

The group stopped to talk with Serpent for a while, marveling at how it had survived the attack of the Sues. Then after that they left, heading for the next town with their breakfast and supplies, since Serpent said there were still Sue's roaming the Avatarverse, and a few were nearby.

So it was, they had landed in the woods, milling about while they ate a midday snack. At first they took no note of the single person walking towards them in long black robes, with a cloak fluttering in the wind, a hood pulled low and carrying a scythe. The first to take note of the new comer was Aang, who pointed and shouted, gaining everyone's attention; including the traveller.

When the person looked up his, or her, face was lost in the shadow of the hood, but 'he' continued forward. Once he was in speaking distance of the wary group, only then did he speak in a cold and uncaring voice as he removed his hood. "Hail travellers, I seek the nearest town and information. Would you help a fellow traveller?"

Now the small group could see his, or her, features; long blond hair that had slight curls at the ends where it met the shoulders, icy blue eyes that were as cold as the poles that Katara and Sokka had lived in. His features were aristocratic, narrow and sharp, just like his ears that peaked out of his hair. The group did a double take. "You have pointy ears!" Aang said.

"And you have to have arrows on you to know what way you are facing; your point?" The man said, his voice the only part of him making one not guess at his gender. He narrowed his large almond shape eyes at the boy who frowned up at him, and he heard one of the boys snicker.

"Well there was no need to be rude!" Katara said fiercely. She glared right back at the man, but not without taking a step back at his fierce gaze. "What are you? A demon?"

"By Nerull, are all you commoners so ignorant?" He leaned on his scythe, "I'm an elf, and a cleric. You do know what an elf is correct?"

"I've heard legends of such creatures." Zuko said, looking on curiously, and the elf took note it was the one who had laughed. "Ever since the Fourth Wall came down, I've heard many things." He frowned, giving the elf a bemused look. "You don't look like the type to play and frolic however."

"I don't frolic unless it's in death." He said, giving an annoyed sigh. "I seek Zuko's Flamethrower, or the Messiah Serpent Armour, any member of the Messiah's or Pantheon."

"Serpent was in a town not far from here." Aang said, then asked. "Why do you seek the Pantheon and Messiahs?"

"I hail with a 'Peace Treaty.'" The man returned, answering the question. "If it can be called that, from PreyoftheDemons. More like a demand if anything else."

"A peace treaty?" Katara asked, and he nodded.

"Yes, not that it is much of one." He answered with a sigh, "Well, if you will excuse me, I wish to get back to my universe. Which I can do as soon as I deliver this to someone who gives a shit."

"Oh, you said a bad word." Aang said, and the man just twirled his weapon. "Serpent was back that way, just stay on the path and you'll come to the town he was last at."

"Thank you travellers." He starts to walk away, pausing, "My name is Lyscene, Keili Lyscene. You are the Avatar, aren't you?"

"Yup!" Aang stated proudly, the man nodded and continued on his way. Once he was out of earshot. "He was weird and creepy."

"I heard that!" Keili yelled, glaring over his shoulder from the distance, and everyone paused to look as he turned back to his mission. Aang stared with wide eyes until he was sure the man was so far gone that even he wouldn't be able to hear Aang screaming.

"Elves are said to have excellent hearing." Zuko said as he sat down and relaxed, enjoying the break with some meditation. "And eye sight, as they can see in very low light for great distances."

"Well, I have good enough eyesight to see him running back this way." Sokka responded, pointing to the black cloaked figure who was running as if his very life depended on it.

"Sues!" Keili screams, making all four of the Avatar group scramble to get their stuff on Appa.

"Hurry up!" Sokka called out to the elf who had hiked his skirt up to be able to run faster; and not far behind him was a rising dust trail. "Faster! Faster!"

"Shut up!" Keili screamed as he got closer, tripping slightly. His hearing may have been excellent, but he was damn near blind for an elf. With the crew of Avatar on Appa, both Sokka and Zuko reached to help the elf up, who tossed his scythe in first before he jumped up, taking the offered hands. Katara squeaked at the scythe being thrown nearly at her; but as Sokka and Zuko pulled Keili in, and allowed him to get dumped to the floor of the saddle, everyone was given a nice view of what was not under his robe, and confirming his masculinity. He sat up swiftly, the whole group blushing, but the elf appeared apathetic to the event. "Great, now how to I deliver this damn thing?"

"Well, technically, your not a canon character, so you would be safer than us." Sokka said with a frown, and the elf gave him a scathing glare that the boy felt scrape his flesh and bone. Sokka shuddered and scooted back.

"That has never stopped a fan-girl or Sue from molesting me! I look like a girl if you failed too notice!" He shouted, "And dare not I risk those... Those things! The last time I ventured thinking my-self safe I was found in a Lord of the Rings Sue fic and getting raped by Orcs!"

"Ouch!" The guys said in unison, hunkering down under the wrath of the elf.

"You poor thing." Katara said, sympathy showing in her eyes.

"Touch me and I will ass rape you with my scythe!" Keili threatened, making Katara forget her concern in fear of the threat. "Now, get me too Serpent so I can deliver this message."

"Okay." Aang said, telling Appa what needed to be done. "We might have to get by Sues though."

"Fear not, I'm an unholy cleric of Death." Keili smirked, and it was in no way benevolent, though his features made it seem beautiful, he was truly terrifying. "And I fear not death, but that which comes before it. Sues are no match for my skills so long as I have warriors to protect me."

"I get the feeling we are being used." Zuko murmured with a smirk and a narrow eyed glare of his own at the elf. His words made Keili's diabolical grin even more evil.

"You have no idea cannon fodder." Keili gave a morbid chuckle that made the others shudder fearfully.

--Oh! Will Keili deliver tha message? Will 'he throw everyone off Appa to see them go splat, or just ass rape them with the Scythe? Who the hell knows with that elf!
