Ryelle
She could see it moving through the bushes, eating and grazing. It's beautiful strong horse-like legs ready to flee at the sound of any movement. As Ryelle took her bow off her shoulder and strung an arrow, she slowly padded forward. She made no sound; she had once been a legendary fighter trained in every technique of surprise and an honoured general before her exile. She was now in perfect range and raised her bow with the precision and grace of a master. She pulled back ready to shoot but became blinded by a green misty light.
There before her, stood a beautiful young woman. Her lilac skin and silvery white hair glowed with mystery. She looked like a goddess but her slender long pointy ears marked her as an elf. Her face was covered with intricate markings that showed her rank. She was wearing a simple green druid dress that showed off the toned muscles of a warrior. Her silvery blue eyes spoke her knowledge of the world and all that she had seen.
"How did you find me Seph?" Ryelle inquired.
The druid laughed her airy mystical laugh that seemed to fill the whole forest. "Ryelle, you can't have forgotten already, it has not been that long. I can see what my animals see and speak to them. They told me a lovely but warrior like woman that made no sound had come here. Who else could that be but you my dear?"
Ryelle chuckled to herself. Even after all these years and her many years in battle with the woman, Sephora always surprised her and never seemed to lose her humour. How could she have forgotten? There was only one person in the whole world she couldn't hide from and that was the Archdruid herself.
"So, my friend, what have you come to me for? Warning me to not kill your deer? A girl must eat somehow!" Ryelle laughed but a look of sudden grief rushing the druid's face made her laugh stop suddenly.
"Unfortunately, this is much graver news." replied Sephora. "The Galgor is loose. The Ledan could not harness and control its power. It now threatens our way of life…your way of life. Queen Arianna is summoning the Legendary Five foretold in High Priest Caldor's prophecy that you very well know about. You are one of us five of course. I am here to tell you that we need your help. Arianna is offering your release from you exile and your title back if you agree to help us. We need you. If we didn't, you know I would not be here asking you."
"I know," Ryelle said as she put her arrow back in the quiver that hung down her back.
