Nothing like a big bow.. Marsharpiel: ..I think there is ten khargs now.. Merrick: It sounds like they communicate..sure they are on the way to here?.. Marsharpiel: I'm afraid so..They're moving fast... Merrick: Sure we can stop them with bows?..I must say you have the biggest bow 'cept Elmessiar's.. Marsharpiel: Easier to penetrate thick skin.. Merrick: I know this kind of longbow, they are tough to handle..how..? Marsharpiel: Technique and hard training.. Merrick: I'm really impressed.. Linu le Ann: Very interested in bows, mr. Merrick?..Or.. Merrick: Our best defense against these khargs..but don't give me one, I would be worried to hit one of my comrades or my foot.. Linule Ann: You are very open guy, Mr Merrick.. Merrick: Miss Linu, I don't think I have secrets like other people might have here,..from childhood my expectations haven't been high..so I take life as it comes..and now it's about the work to bring Iphis, the pricess on the throne.. Linu le Ann: Worthy case - but first we need to stand against the khargs.. Merrick: ..Yeah, but I'm surrounded with competent people, right?..See anything, Marsharpiel? Blackelven can see in totally darkness, I heard?.. Marsharpiel: But I can't see through solid cliffs and the many valleys, only hear the sounds.. Melkhin(In the rear): Time we find the others and prepare the attack?.. Linu le Ann: Yes!.. Merrick: Wait!..Have anyone seen Sinassa, "Snowwhite" and "Redhead" return?.. Marsharpiel: No!..I find them.. Merrick: Hey!?.. Marsharpiel: Don't worry, if I can't se through the walls in the small valleys I'll find Ghoradakh and Rhanagaz by my nose instead..* Merrick:(sarcastic) Yah, with "Snowwhite" and "Redhad" it should be possible.. Take care, Marsha.. Linu le Ann: Let's find the others, guys!.. Marsharpiel runs away to find the missing trio.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Elves have very sharp senses, like hearing, seeing and a good sense of smell etc. Elvens are able like cats to see in very low light but blackelven can also see the heat radiation in the darkest night. So no living being can hide for them. Elves, by their sharp senses, "read" a human like an open book, so don't try to lie to an elven. ;o) A continuation of the former upload. Funny, when I put characters together they start talking almost by themselves. So it is somewhat a rewritten story in the more subtle details. Merrick is throughout the story the link who as a newcomer help to learn more about the others in the group. His and Marsharpiels relation is a story inside the bigger story, they are not much lesser characters than Iphis, Nightshade, Darkhawk and Pentwahir. In fact Sevaril is much of a collective story about, friendship, love and doing what you believing in. Next time "the secret member" of this group of outsiders and law enforcers, will be revealed! Thank you for comments! :o) JohnnyC / Rhanagaz
