A new druidic, half-elf named, Xanaphia Liadon, enters into Elmshade with her wolf companion, Shadowbane, and runs into a young elf couple. At first the elf couple were frightened by Xanaphia because she had the most beautiful eyes and hair, hair as grey as a wolves coat and eyes as light blue as the day sky, they thought that she was not a real image. The Xanaphia says to them "Hello my young friends, I am Xanaphia from the forest of another land quite far from here. My wolf, Shadowbane and I are extremely tired and hungry from our journey could I trouble you to direct me to the nearest bar or restaurant?" Then the elves take her and shadowbane to the bar not far from there and they talk and invite her back to their home in a tree and the next morning they show her around Elmshade. |

Tu'jol stands beside the river and watches her steps into the river and listens to her. He watches in amazement as she slowly begins to form, at first he thought she was just going to turn into a fish but then he watches her stay her normal size and her legs turn into scales and her hair turns blonde. He steps towards the river until he is at the very edge and squats down, still in a sort of dazed state then shakes his head to wake up. "Wow, now that is amazing, and you can breathe underwater just like a real mermaid?" |

*She dives down the water and then does a jump and flip*, then comes back up and stares at Tu'jol with loving eyes. "As a matter of fact I can breathe underwater and I can pass it to you if you would like," she says smiling. Her complexion was perfect under the moonlight... |

Tujol_Streea He steps back from the water slowly, shaking his head slowly "Uhhh.... no, I am fine. I cant swim and dont want to go into the water just yet." NC_Alaskalover : Beacons him in the water"It is fine Tu'jol I can give you the skill to swim" NC_Alaskalover moves towards him Tujol_Streea watches her and shakes his head then sits down on the ground, watching her "I dont want to right now. Please dont ask me any more." NC_Alaskalover She wonders why he won't swim with her "Okay I will just swim around a bit to entertain you." Tujol_Streea shrugs lightly "Alright." He continues looking out towards her as she swims in the water but every so often his eyes fall upon the ring that rests on his finger NC_Alaskalover She comes up and lets the water fall off her and her hair falls gorgeously down her back Tujol_Streea watches her, thinking that though this form of her's is beautiful she is just as beautiful in her normal form NC_Alaskalover she remembers that Shadowbane has been waiting for her for over 2 hours so she bays at the moon and changes back into the wolf form in the water and accidentally drowns Tujol_Streea watches her and his eyes go wide, not knowing how to swim though he runs down towards her and into the water and grabs her, pulling her up enough so her head is out of the water and drags her to the shore, barely making it out of the river himself NC_Alaskalover : She gasps for air and coughs,"Oh my wha what what happened." She looks around for Tu'jol and he is laying on the ground unconsicous so Xanaphia gives him cpr Tujol_Streea coughs awake and looks at her as she is above him and pulls her down into a tight hug "Dont scare me like that again." NC_Alaskalover Back in her normal form all wet "I am sorry Tu'jol I feel so stupid," she looks down crying thinking that Tu'jol was an inch away from death Tujol_Streea continues to hug her tightly and after a few minutes he slowly lets go of her. He sits up slowly and holds his head gently. "It is alright." NC_Alaskalover She looks at him with tears in her eyes "I think I need to go get Shadowbane," Tujol_Streea nods slowly and stands up, brushing himself off and pulls her to her feet, hugging her tightly and kissing her softly. He brushes her tears away and sighs a little NC_Alaskalover "I wanted you to walk with me" Tujol_Streea nods "I was going to." He takes her by the arm gently and walks her back towards the tavern where she is staying. "Its alright now, its all over." NC_Alaskalover "I know" she stands and spins in the moonlight the night is her favorite time of day Tujol_Streea lets her go, thinking she feels much better in the short time she had to recover then just begins walking back to the tavern NC_Alaskalover "I love the darkness dont u" Tujol_Streea looks over to her as they walk and he nods slowly and begins twirling the ring on his finger slowly and stops her, turning her to face him "Uh... I have something to tell you." NC_Alaskalover "Yes I am listening you can tell me anything Tu'jol" Tujol_Streea looks into her eyes "I...." He bites his lower lip. "I am not exactly what you think..." NC_Alaskalover "What do you mean Tu'jol," she starts getting nervous Tujol_Streea steps back from her slowly "I am a dark elf." He takes off the ring on his finger after he announces that extraordinary news and his skin automatically turns pitch black, almost making him dissappear. He was a full drow now, with white hair and <C> Tujol_Streea <C> strange glowing, lavendar eyes. NC_Alaskalover She gasps and runs into her room with Shadowbane asleep, lays on the bed crying, "I have been so trusting of you and you are a drow, noooooooooo!" NC_Alaskalover She finds the flowers from him and crushes them Tujol_Streea puts back on his ring, his skin going back to tan and he runs into the tavern and up to her room, knocking softly "I thought I could tell you anything..." NC_Alaskalover : "Drows are evil, get away from me," she says screaming in terror Tujol_Streea looks around, hoping no one comes out of their rooms and he gently says "Be quiet, your going to scare everyone, no one else knows, I am not bad, just open up and let me explain." NC_Alaskalover She lays as far away from him as possible and Shadowbane is in front of her protecting her even though he loves Tu'jol "Go go go go go ahahaheadd," she says shivering in fear Tujol_Streea slowly opens the door and enters her room, closing the door behind him. She can see his skin is back to a normal color and he sits in the chair farthest from her. "Dont you think that if I was truly evil I would have killed you while we were alone at <C> Tujol_Streea <C> the river?" He sighs gently NC_Alaskalover "Honestly I do think that but how should I know if you arent the tiniest bit of evil?" Tujol_Streea stands up slowly "You have been with me all day. I havent done anything to harm you and I even jumped into the river to save you. I didnt even hesitate, I just jumped in, even though I couldnt swim and almost drowned myself." NC_Alaskalover "How do I know you really arent plotting my death?" NC_Alaskalover she couldnt believe what they were saying, she looks at the crushed roses and her heart starts to hurt, she trully loved this man but why was she getting so upset Tujol_Streea sighs "Look, if I was evil... wouldnt have Shadowbane immediately known and attacked me?" NC_Alaskalover : "Only pure evil people." Tujol_Streea sighs then walks to the door. "Fine then I will just go away, the only person..." He mumbles to himself as he walks out of her room and heads down the stairs and out of the tavern. "I knew this would happen, I should have just kept it a secret and we <C> Tujol_Streea <C> would have been happy till the end of our days." He begins walking into the woods, the one place he truly feels safe and at home, especially in the dark. NC_Alaskalover : :Xanaphaia gets up with mascara all over her face and runs after him calling for him , she finally turns into a dove with a gray streak down its back and finds him Tujol_Streea is sitting in a tree, wondering what he should do now, he couldnt leave without telling his mentor, Araon, that he was but he didnt want to come into contact with anyone. NC_Alaskalover : Xanaphia still in her dove form pecks at Tu'jol Tujol_Streea feels something pecking him and he dodges away and holds up his arms to keep from being hit. He swings a little too hard and loses his balance then falls but he only falls a short distance because he fell on the lower branch, hitting his stomach. NC_Alaskalover He knocked the dove that he thought was just a dove unconicous and it lands on the ground and all of the sudden Xanaphia is laying there with a huge gash on her forehead Tujol_Streea opens his eyes slowly and sees Xanaphia on the ground as he was facing down, laying across the limb from the fall. He slowly climbs down the tree, his chest hurting. He goes over to her and picks her up slowly, aching in pain and carries her back to <C> Tujol_Streea <C> the tavern so he could put her in her room and take care of her. NC_Alaskalover As she lays there she is still unconcious Shadowbane lays on the ground with her arm on his nuzzle he was her baby he wanted to play Tujol_Streea got back to the tavern, carrying her and takes her up the stairs to her room. He sets her down on the bed and tends to her wound. NC_Alaskalover Shadowbane jumps on the bed with Xanaphia and watches Tu'jol closely if he made one wrong move he would bite Tujol_Streea cleans her up and then checks any other covered areas that might have been wounded and after he is finished he put her under the covers and puts out some clean clothes for her when she awakens. He sits down in a chair and waits NC_Alaskalover : 12 hours of waiting goes by and she finally awakens, "Where am I?" she looks around and then closes her eyes and starts to sing a song her mother used to sing to her Tujol_Streea hadnt fallen asleep at all and stands up slowly when she stirs then slowly walks over to the bed "Your back in your room." NC_Alaskalover "Oh Tu'jol I am sorry, you shocked me with what you told me, its just that my parents were killed by drows," she starts crying wickedly NC_Alaskalover She turns to the side so she can't be seen crying Tujol_Streea sits down on the bed, beside her and gently rubs her back "Its alright. I have laid out some clean clothes for you." NC_Alaskalover "Thank you," she gets up and goes into the washroom and changes clothes and comes back and starts to stare at Tu'jol Tujol_Streea is looking at the floor, sighing softly and rubbing his eyes NC_Alaskalover "You have waited all this time for me to wake up?" Tujol_Streea : looks up slowly and nods "Yes." Tujol_Streea looks up slowly and nods "Yes." NC_Alaskalover "You must be tired, why don't you go home?" Tujol_Streea nods slowly and stands up then grabs his side, doubling over in pain and falls to the ground on one hand and his knees, his other hand still clutching his side. "I think I broke something in that fall." NC_Alaskalover She immediately screams, "TU'JOL! NO!!!" she runs to him and starts examining wildly at his ribs, he had broke his rib and was all her fault, she changes back into wolf form to tell Shadowbane to go get help Tujol_Streea shakes his head "No, I will be fine, I dont need help." NC_Alaskalover "You broke your rib I need help getting you into my bed." Tujol_Streea looks up to her "I can stand up, it just hurts." He slowly stands up with her help and sits down on the edge of the bed. "It does hurt to breathe but I am fine, I just need some rest, I have had a broken rib before." NC_Alaskalover "No, I want to help a broken rib is hard to have i know I had one before too." NC_Alaskalover Shadowbane comes back with Jarlosh, "Oh Jarlosh thank goodness Tu'jol broke his rib can you help me put him in my bed and can i have a cot to sleep on." Tujol_Streea shakes his head again and coughs "I will be fine, I just need to go home and rest, I will see a healer tomorrow." NC_Alaskalover She grabs him and forces him gently into the bed, "Please I love you too much to let you do that." Tujol_Streea looks up at her as she speaks, laying down without any resistance. "You... you..." He looks to Jarlosh then grunts in pain before saying "Thank you Jarlosh for coming but I do not need your help." NC_Alaskalover : She lays down with him and starts stroking his hair Tujol_Streea watches Jarlosh leave and turns to her as she begins stroking his hair and he softly sighs then grunts in pain again. NC_Alaskalover : Xanaphia gets up and goes to her dresser in her box she found some pain medicine and hands it to Tu'jol, "This will help with the pain." Tujol_Streea takes the medicine and closes his eyes with a sigh. "Do you have any salve you could put on my skin for pain also?" NC_Alaskalover : "Yes as a matter of fact I do," she goes back in her box contained 2 viles of salve, a picture of her family, a golden cross, makeup, and pain medicine, she gets the salve and walks to Tu'jol slowly opening the bottle she strokes his forehead and kisses NC_Alaskalover his forehead and starts to rub the salve onto his ribcage Tujol_Streea breathes in slowly, feeling a bit more relieved and opens his eyes. He grabs her wrist gently after she is finished. "You love me?" NC_Alaskalover She blushes uncontrollably "You should get some rest." Tujol_Streea holds onto her wrist gently "I need to know if I am accepted in your life, I cant stand not being able to be in your life." NC_Alaskalover : "I am afraid, I have a secret as well." Tujol_Streea sighs "I doubt it is as bad as mine." NC_Alaskalover "Well actually no I was the princess of the village Aberaeron that is why i asked you what your opinions about the royal bloodline because I am the last of them." Tujol_Streea laughs a little then turns to her "Like I said, there is nothing wrong with that, its a good thing... but am I allowed in your life?" He turns serious at the end of his statement NC_Alaskalover : "If you want to be but are drows allowed to be with soon to be Queens?" Tujol_Streea shrugs "I guess it would be your decision, but only a very few know I am a drow." NC_Alaskalover "You need to rest hun." Tujol_Streea nods and closes his eyes, slowly falling asleep NC_Alaskalover "God I love you,"she whispers in his ear, she starts to nuzzle him, and then falls asleep on him |

The next morning Xanaphia wakes up in her nightgown on Tu'jol and decides it would be nice to feed Tu'jol breakfast in bed so she and Shadowbane go to the restaurant and order some waffles, muffins, coffee and fruit, and then they go back to the room and wait for Tu'jol to wake up... |

Tu'jol slowly wakes up, blinking slowly. He smells the great scent of a big breakfast and looks over at Xanaphia. He slowly sits up but in horrible pain, but only wincing so Xanaphia wouldnt worry about him. He sets a pillow up against the headboard as he sits back against it and sighs gently. He then looks at her and smirks "Nice nightgown." He chuckles softly but not for long as he grabs at his ribs in pain once again. |

As Xanaphia sees Tu'jol stir she gets up and gets on to the bed with him, she laughs at the comment about her nightgown and then jumps as he winces, "Tu'jol are you ok?" she asks him as she grabs his arm and trys to support him... |

Tu'jol nods and waves her off "I am fine, it just hurt a little bit. That medicine you gave me has helped me out a lot in just one night." He forces a smile and looks her over still. "You said you love me." He still smiles, watching for her reaction as he takes the tray of food and puts on his lap and eats some of the fruit. |

"I am glad that my medicine has helped you," she says blushing wildly. She then goes and sits on the bed hiding her beautiful face. |

Tu'jol watches her as she blushes and sits down on the bed. He laughs to himself when he sees her trying to cover her face. He waits for a few minutes before he forces himself to move around a bit and then sits up in the bed even more, straining as he does so. He breathes in deeply and slowly though each breath hurt him. He was in constant pain but it wasnt sever pain, it was something he learned to live with or, out in the wild, he could possibly haved died. "I am glad that I have gotten to know you and as well as come to know your alright with my secret, though it was unsettling at first. I do want you to know that I couldnt have lived any longer if I wasnt allowed in your life any more." |

Xanaphia gets up and helps Tu'jol sit up, so she puts some pillows behind his back and then kisses his forehead and then sits back down,"I noticed you wanted to sit up, and why couldnt you have lived knowing that you couldnt be in my life?," she says almost starting to cry |

Tu'jol stuffs a biscuit in his mouth to answer her question and starts talking a little though his words were muffled from the food, playing with her. He swallows the biscuit after a while and looks into her eyes before leaning over and softly kissing her cheek. "There is a special reason." |

Giving him a kiss she asks, "And what reason is that Tu'jol and yes I did say that I love you." she finally said it and laid there hiding. |

He smiles widely. He didnt want to rush into things too quickly but his feelings for her were just as mutual. He sets the coffee table aside and then turns his full attention upon her. "You know that you are so beautiful and I cant believe that Shadowbane has taken to me so quickly." He smirks to himself and leans back in a little pain. He wants to rest even though he should be getting up. "Is there anything special we are suppose to do today... other than resting so I can heal quicker?" |

She laughs and says, "Well there is nothing in particular that I can do to heal you better unless you go to Shadowbane's mother." |

"Shadowbane's mother has magical powers Tu'jol." |
