Sophena doubled her pace; she hadn't had a workout like this for a long time, and she could toy with him once she'd caught him. She sent another message to Ilona "He's left something on the roof; I'll have to get it later, he's rather swift!" She lept with impeccable grace to the trees; "Fool" She thought "Anyone leaving a trail of blood WILL be caught!" She smiled to herself as she caught up to him; It didn't take her Imperial Gaurd and Elven training to track a wounded quarry, no matter how small the injury was. As she narrowed the distance through the trees, she called to the person: "You may as well give up you know, this is only a small set of trees, and I am more likely to use less force if you surrender now!" "This is you final warning! Stop or I shall have to use force!"

Surrender?! who the hell is she?
He snarled behind the mask covering the lower half of his face and doubled his pace, using up the energy he'd been saving just for this kind of situation where a quick getaway is needed
But she's right, might as well give up with this blood trail
He glanced at his arm and swore profoundly inside, realizing just how deep he'd dove the quill. Up ahead the tree's where thinning and soon he'd have nowhere. In an obstacle littered enviroment he stood a chance, but open ground would play to her training. Luckily he had a few tricks up his sleeve and his elven grace to help. He sprinted headlong at a tree and, using momentum and a little feral/elven grace, ran up it's trunk to the branches above. Keeping close to the trunks where the branches are strongest he headed back the way they came, knowing there'd be someone waiting since his pursuer was definantly using something he could feel, but right now he was full of adrenaline and enjoying the thrill of a good chase after so long.
He decided to take a risk and called to her with his soft angelic voice "You seem to like to play, so how about a challenge?"

conall chased after sophena's figure on the roof tops. he wasn't as fast, but he was able to track the cloaked character just the same as she was, blood trail. his native nature being demon, he could smell the drops as they welled up from the wound.
dashing into the forest, he decided that taking to the trees, would be his best bet. he pulled his dagger from it's sheeth, and threw it at a tree, some 20 feet up. still running at the tree, he lumped off the ground, flipping and pushing off a smaller tree, and grabbing the dagger's handle, using it to keep himself up, in a crouched position. he waited, sniffing the air. the cloaked man ran past here, he could smell the blood, but it was already drying, and smelled old. but the scent of fresh blood was growing stronger. the figure was doubling back!
conall grabbed a tree branch and pulled his dagger out of the tree, then swung himself up into the cover of the leaves, as soon as the man passed, he'd jump out and tackle the man.

"And with that, you have annoyed me!" Sophena yelled "And since you won't come out, I'll have to come and get you" She scanned around until she found where he was and muttered something in an archaic language; at once the branches of the trees nearby him sprang to life and grasped the man where he was, holding him fast. Sophena smiled and sprinted towards him.

Ah frak! He knew instantly that she'd used some kind of earth magic to warp the tree's, something he was never good at, luckily, being half feral, he had reflexes on his side. He leaped from grasping branch to grasping branch, drawing his twin blue short swords and slicing some of the smaller branches.
She used magic, but what did she say?
He tried to recall what his teacher used to drill in his head, but he was never very interested in magic unless it helped him, which it rarely did. But now it would be handy.
Can't use her own spell, can't burn 'em ... have to freeze 'em
In that moment he remembered and mouthed the incantation, sending freezing tendrils around his body and along the tree's. He smirked and carried on, adjacent to the village now. pretty soon that spell would wear off, but if he could just get to the inn on the edge of town he'd have a chance.
He smiled and decided to have a little more fun while it lasted, so he opened two small slits in his hood and let his slender ears poke through, hoping she'd notice, but also knowing he'd hear anymore spells she cast.
He scanned the tree's from the way they'd come as he ran past, heading away at about 45 degrees, and could just see the splinter wound of a dagger
So someone else wants to play
In his loudest voice he called to her, and whoever else was here, not having to shout though, since he learned how to carry his voice from choir practice "One rule, one on one between me and the elf, no magic and no interference. If you accept then i'll meet you where i left my pouch"
She wouldn't go for it he knew, but there was a chance she'd have some nobility and would accept a duel. With this he laughed quietly and gave up with the branches, pushing from trunk to trunk towards the little inn on the edge of town

looks like my time to prove myself. conall thought. as the figure started to pass his hidden spot, conall jumped out of the cover, tackleing him. he dug his dagger threw the sholder of the cloak into the wood of the tree, not scratching the stranger. "you should know not to play with a demon, we don't play fair. besides, i think my boss would very much like to see you," he said, holding the man against the large tree branch. "by the power of the holy cleric, i bind you to this spot, till i speak your release." his free hand waved in a circle, then did a symbol. the image glowed to life, golden for a moment, the faded as the magic began to work, holding him hostage.
((sorry if i ruined some fun, but it had to end at some point. better conall stop him then sophena))

Bloody demon .. well, it's just a binding spell, shouldn't be too hard ...
He knew the spell would bind him until a word was spoken, so while he still had a few moments he shifted the swords up a little so the blades dug into his palms. His midnight blue/green eyes constricted to feral slits as he mouthed a short incantation in ancient elven. He could feel the binding spell and had seconds left. He pointed his blades at the fading circle, icy tendrils whipping around them, and broke it with a swift cross cut. Free of the spell he pushed off from the trunk, tearing his cloak from the demon's dagger. As their faces passed in a few short seconds he whispered "I know who you are, and i WILL have my duel with this lady before anything else. Try to understand elven honor and learn a better binding spell" And with that he touched Conall's arm with his frosted blade and froze it temporarily as he sprung off towards the village
((it will end swiftly trust me, and i want sophena to end it ... you'll see why))

conall growled as the man broke free of his spell. then groaned in pain as his arm froze. he knew it wouldn't last long, and his arm would be fine in the end, but it didn't make it hurt less, just made him stuck till he was thawed out. 'damn him. and how does he know who i am.'

"FINE!" Shouted Sophena "I'll fight you if you really wish it of me, but no underhand tricks. I know you can hear me and I accept your place of battle then." She walked up to Conall, touched his arm, and muttered a spell that instantly unfroze him; "Conall, please wait here; I must uphold the honour of the Elves and go to him alone" She set her face into a grim expression and proceeded back to the designated spot. <OK guys, Just a note to let you all know; I'm off on holiday from This Wednesday until Wenesday the 5th August.

"good luck, and give this guy a punch for me," conall said, moving his fingers and arm to try and get feeling back. thanks to her, he was free, but it'd take a bit for feeling to come back. he hopped there was no permanent damage.
<OOC:hey, i'm still here too, waiting for everyone else. I'm going to wait to post any more till everyone else has had a chance to post, or at least most. i hope people come back soon.>

Sophena, walked up to the rooftops and asked flatly "So just who are you then?"

He just stood there smiling behind his mask, his feral slits locked on her "Just another wanderer in this world, and you?"

He shifted a little, stroking the tips of his ears poking out of slits in his hood "Hindering? If you're referring to the horses i was running to get them back. I had no idea that they were part of this quest of your mistress'"
