>>5941238The midnight guard is rotating. In the few minutes of profane banter between the old and new shifts you feel a tingling sensation. It grows.
You feel them before you get the chance to see or hear anything. There are two of them, approaching in the dark of night with unbelievable speed through the tall plain grass. Male dark elves don't have the same level of telepathic sensitivity as females but have been blessed with otherworldly maneuverability. You are a hundred feet from the medicinal wagon where their sister lies, not daring to get any closer, as she might pick you up on her telepathic range. But she is young and inexperienced, relative to you, and you know more elvish tricks than her.
As they get close, you enhance your spiritual presence in a way that mimics that of Gwevyr and the two brothers are instinctually drawn towards you instead, lacking spiritual sophistication to differentiate the minor differences. Gwevyr notices you right away but it doesn't matter now. In front of you burn two sets of blood-red eyes, their owners with beautiful androgynous faces. <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Twins</span></span> you surmise. Both are young, perfect representatives of your race. However, one of the gorgeous faces is twisted in anger, at you.
<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-i">Where is our sister?</span></span> he whispers firmly as you continue to maintain the mimicking effect.
<span class="mu-i">She is close and you will have her but first - I am Kyllia and I fought side by side with the elders at their last stand in Alabyran.</span> you point in its direction. <span class="mu-i">After the final defeat, in desperation, I gained favor with a noteworthy human and I need your help. Open up to me and I will show you everything.</span> You stretch out your arms and grab them by the palms, showing them nitpicked moments of the events that transpired in the last few weeks and your future plans, in order to paint yourself in good light.
<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-i">You should have searched out for your people to continue the fight! You can't infiltrate humans, you will always be an outsider in their wretched cesspit of a nation. Look at the state of you now, just a concubine...</span></span> the prideful one quiets down after his brother's hand finds itself on his shoulder.
<span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">Thank you for helping our sister but we can't do your bidding, we know only one way to fight the humans... we have to take care of her now, tell us where she is.</span></span> the other twin says with calm demeanor.
