Malek waits to see how Eleak and Del would react to his sudden outburst.

he thought about it.

"Hmm...interesting. I am afriad that I live a quite isolated life hear in the tundra, for I have not heard of this...Xion of which you speak. However, if he is as you say he is, he will be dealt with, and I will gladly lend my sword to your cause. Although, before you have high hopes, heed my words. The barbarians around this part do not take well to strangers. They must be treated as though they have power, if we are to speak with them. And they take offense to almost everything, so watch what you say."

Eleak nods his head as though pondering the prospect, and then he speaks again. "However, both of you are right. We must warn the people, and get there soon, before this...Xion person does. Shall we go?"

Malek looks over at Eleak. "Eleak, you have lived here longer than I and are wiser to the people here. Where do you recommend we go first?"

"Delvaro, you are correct. To travel to Ten-towns first would be very advantageous. I have heard of a wise one who lives there, who is very good at speaking with the barbarians, and keeping them comfortable, while still getting what he wants from them. I'm sure that they would help us negotiate, and gain the aid of the barbarians, but I cannot garauntee it. So, for my opinion, I would side with Delvaro, and head to Ten-Towns."

Eleak looked towards Malek, hoping htat he would come along as he replied, "Very well Delvaro. I will go with you. Will you come though Malek? If the barbarians become upset, we will need all the help we can get."

OOC: Sorry guys. I've been trying to think of a more interesting post than "Yes. Let's go."

IC: Malek nods slowly. "Yes. I will come. It seems to be a good idea to visit the towns, since I plan to stay for a while. A word of caution, though. The barbarians and possibly the townsfolk will be alarmed at us. We must keep our heads. We have no need to prove ourselves to anyone." Malek pauses, contemplating the most tactful way to present his strange news. "Which way is Ten-Towns?"

"I disagree with you there Malek. We have - at least, [b:2rukbnfd]I[/b:2rukbnfd] have plenty of things to prove. The townsfolk do not know about Eilistraee, and fear most drow. I must make an impression on how drow are also a pleasent race, the same with some elves being evil." Eleak then thinks about his directions, and picks up a handful of snow. Throwing it into the air, and seeing the shadow it casts, he turns and says to his companions, "Ten Towns is this way. Let us go. I know one person who will be expecting us."

Malek bows his head a bit and chuckles. He was not worried in the least about any danger of the sort. He simply wanted a measure of his companions. "Lead on, my dark-skinned cousin." Malek watches what Eleak does with the snow and commits it to memory so he can use it later. "Well, then. Let us teach them together. Let them know that there can be friendship and unity among our two estranged races."

"That's what I was thinking. Surely if elves accepted us as friends, than others would see the wisdom of doing so." Eleak heads off towards Ten Towns, knowing that they would have a difficult time getting there, for these lands were more than just snow covered. They were infested with bandits, wolves, and raiders, and while they did not pose much of a threat, they were extremely numerous. However, with the two by his side, Eleak was sure he could make his way through without much trouble. At least...that's what he hoped.

3 days passed in relative silence. Whenever they rested, they would share tales and practice fighting amongst each other. Malek treated them by singing a song now and again to pass the time. On the third day, when Del's voice broke the silence Malek looked up to the mountain. "It's beautiful. It's obviously a landmark, so how far till we reach the Ten-Towns?"

Eleak felt good about traveling with these two. They seemed trustworthy, and always had good stories to tell, from times long ago. He also told stories, from when he fought in the mercenary troupe. He also delighted in practing swordplay, enjoying the fact that he was able to hold his own, and even surpass the others occasionaly, even though he only wielded one sword, to their two. After three days of hard travel, coming across Kelvins Cairn, Eleak stopped waling. Were they already there? Eleak meant to avoid this mountain, but now it was too late. Surely they saw them by now. "Del, you have probably heard of this mountain for a reason. This mountain hollow in the middle, with a civilization of bandits within. Treacherous cutthroats who don't take any prisoners, and usually, people don't get seen after encountering them. The details are slightly foggy, but we've only a slim chance of getting through this are. However, they often don't leave their hold, so we would be able to avoid them by going around, though it will take a few days more." Eleak fingers his sword, feeling it's warm hilt. It comforted him, and then he eyed both Delvaro and Malek, and asked, "My friends...how confident are you in your fighting abilities?"
