Domarion followed a deer through the woods. As an elf, he had the ability to speak with animals, who were usually helpful in providing the locations of food and water.
As an elf with short, blond hair and obviously exposed pointy ears, humans often refused to render services to him, or even sell him food. Therefore, living off the land was his only way to resolve this problem.
However, just as the doe informed him that they were near the a berry bush, she spooked and ran off.
'Humans.' The elf thought, moving to scan the forest for them.
Sure enough, there were humans, armored in chainmail and scalemail armor, two of them were mounted, and one was wielding a short bow.
Domarion nocked an arrow, the humans weren't expecting an ambush. First target would be one of the humans atop a horse, that would spook both horses and throw them all into disarray.
Revealing himself for only a few seconds to aim and let the arrow fly, he quickly reconcealed himself after he released the drawstring.
He hoped that the humans had not seen him, or he would be in serious trouble.

"Centaur, I have a battle plan" The snake said with a rather eerie voice. "I will bite these human's with my posionious venom!" The serpent continued with a smirk on his small face. "You my friend must push them off the cliff once their bodies are flooded with poision, then we'll make our escape deeper into the woods!" The snake said waiting for the centaur's reply.

Obsidain frowned, hearing men yelling and horses whinning in fear. She ran over to the scene, seeing an arrow sticking out of a man, she quickly pulled him off the horse and hopped on it, calming it down and petting it. The man was dead - he had been killed by the shot. Looking around from her higher vantage point for the archer, her black eyes spotted some cloth, and an oddly blond head of hair. Squinting, she nearly gasped - it was an elf! it was probably on the run from these men., she thought, frowning.

Domarion shouted to draw the attention of the men from their deceased comrade. As the humans whirled around to hear his shout, the short bow wielding infantryman loaded an arrow to return fire.
Taking an extremely inaccurate shot as he moved to hide again, the elf just missed hitting one of the horses in it's front left hoof, spooking it again...

~ Alright - just jump in! ~
Obsidian yelled, getting thrown off the horse. "Aaaagh!" After she cuaght her breath - and moved away from the frightened horses and angry men - she called out "Archer - Elf - show yourself to me, or I will tell the men where you are.", she said quietly, before being yanked into the grip of an angry young soldier. "You, woman! Why are you out here?" She risisted the urge to hit him, and settled for a glare. "Why are you out here, you brutes? It is not hunting season!", she told them angrily, wishing something, someone would help - interfere - before she got herself in trouble...again.

Standing up and making himself known to the living people and creatures, Domarion still had an arrow ready to be pulled back; these men were capable of taking any one of them out at any time.
"Right, you got me out of the foliage." The blonde elf sighed, speaking to himself and preparing for the worst.
"Elf, you are the archer who shot Sir WIlliam!" The sword wielding man was angry, but he had his hands full with the horses, who were just beginning to calm down.
"You would have used your bows and swords against me." The unarmored, pointy eared male retorted.
"Shut your mouth, elf!" The man said, only to have the horses become frightened by his sudden shouting. They didn't rear up and kick him as the elf had hoped, but it did keep the human from attacking.
Domarion would have helped the woman who had called him out, but, the second he would turn his back to the other soldier, he would be cut down...

"Let me go, or you will regret it, soldier.", she told the man threatingly. He luaghed at her, holding firm. Obsidian blinked, whinning and neighing at the horses - telling them to bolt, to run - the men were bad men, who would hurt them. The lead horse snorted, cantered, then bolted. The rest follwed, bucking the soldiers off or dragging them along.

Domarion put the arrow back in his quiver and came over to the female who had, at least he thought she had, caused the horses to dash away.
"Well, that was...interesting." He paused before querying, "You speak the langauge of animals?"

She glanced around, before dragging him into the woods - away from the soldiers. She leaned against a tree, breathing heavily. After a few seconds, she nodded. "Yes, I do. Well, some of them anyway. You are an Elf, yes?", she asked him - just to make sure, as was the custom among her people. The traveling gypsies - who never took sides on most everything, at least most of the time.

"Well, let me check," He jokingly said, giving his exposed left ear a little tug, "yeah, I'm an elf, we can speak and understand most of languages spoken by the animals of this forest, but I, myself, am not familiar with the language of horses..."

She blushed lightly. "It's easy, for me. I grew up around them. As well as dogs, cats, birds, mice...we even had a few snakes for a while!", she said fondly. "Where do you hail from? And what is your name?", she asked him.

"My name is Domarion and I hail from this very forest, though the elven settlement I grew up in has been destroyed." He paused after his introduction, "As far as animals, I'm only used to the forest animals, birds, wolves, and everything else that resides among these trees." Another brief period of silence before he confessed awkwardly, "I find horses rather frightening, to be truthful." A slight blush tainted his pale cheeks.

She grinned, but squashed it as she saw he was embarrased. "Don't worry, you just have to get used to them.", she assured him. "My name is Obsidian, and my family travels...everywhere.", she grinned, proud of her heritage. "We are gypsies."

"Ah...gypsies..." He had no clue what a gyspy was, but he had spent most of his life in the forest, "I see. I don't travel that much, I just go to the nearby town for the occasion supplies that can't be found in or made from nature." Domarion paused again, he found himself doing that a lot, but it had been a while since he had communicated with another humanoid.
He continued before the silence could begin to bother him, "Then again, who needs to travel when the woods are practically a maze; every day is an adventure here." He smiled, gesturing to the trees and bushes that surrounded them.

She smiled, looking around, her breathing finally back to normal. "I like the woods, and the villages, too. Though the people I cannot say...", she trailed off, frowning, then shook her head, a strand of orange hair falling across her face.

"Humans are less than lovable." He agreed, his expression saddening slightly, "They burned down my home and they hunt down those that are different. I wonder if anyone is truly safe from their wrath, at times." He frowned, looking away. He wished that he hadn't turned the subject that way, he didn't want to depress his new acquiantance.

"Not all humans are bad. My family isn't - nor are some of the people I have met.", she told him, frowning slightly. Obsidian looked at him, her black eyes taking in his fair features. "And I'm betting not all of the elves you know are nice, either.", she told him, her voice adopting a slightly hard edge.

"I apologize, I meant no disrespect." He bowed his head in shame, "The humans I am familiar with have burned down my home and routinely kill the animals that I coexist with, for mere sport." The blond elf sighed, "I am too quick to judge them, I'm sure that there are many, kinder ones, that I have not yet seen." He allowed his blue eyes to meet her ebony ones, hoping that she would forgive his quick judgement.

She shook her head. "It's alright - I know what you mean. We - my family and I - try to stop the hunters, the poachers. Usually we can scare them off or trick them away, if we aren't too late.", she told him, remembering a few of the times that her older brother had come back with a squirell or bird, and herself once a wolf... She winced slightly, remembring how they had found out it wasn't just a wolf - the hard way.
