-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A loud explosion is heard ringing out over the heavens when pieces of an unknown ship come falling down from the heavens into the forest. It seemed chaos was coming down upon them in the form of weird flying machines, and only few had ever heard of this ships before. Though deep in the forest one would find not all was machine but some were elf as well, for amoungst the shadows pretty torn up, and beat from the crash into the earth suprising the one could have even lived was a surprise.
Moans of pain filled the on coming night drawing the interest of the beasts that roamed this woods especial those night creatures that like to seek meat. The scent of fresh blood was upon the wind coming from this mysterious female, her figure was tall for a regular elf but not being of this world it might be the right height for those of her world. She tried to rise but bolts of dissy spells kept taking her down. Yuri layed there breathing slow even though the pain was enough to make one scream in pain, her training taught her to keep silent and take the pain. Finally an unconious state would be her gift from the pain and begin of a raging fever. Report to moderator 65.197.32.162

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darius Ravenshield, the wealthiest of those who lived atop the trees, and owned the manor at the center of Darkwatch, was the first to the scene. As the unofficial leader of the mixed bag of creatures living in the forest he addressed the woman and shooed off those who might harm her. Though the monsters there would never dare attack on their own, the scent of flesh was on the wind, and it was irritating the monsters that resided among the lower trees. Darius looked up shortly to view the scene of the accident and nodded to a few rangers behind him to check the scene for survivors and douse the flames before they spread to the trees. " Are you alright? My name is Darius, and you have landed in Darkwatch, south of Castle Warheight in Algeroth. " When she did not respond he called for a nymph maiden nearby who was known as a practiced healer and had her to begin to relieve the girl of her pain and fever as she began to be carried up into the treetop fortress of Darkwatch, where she would be cared for as they asessed the damage to the great crossthreaded walkways that had been hit by the craft nearby. And when the stranger awoke she would be asked her name and questioned lightly until such a time as they felt she was not a threat. Report to moderator Logged

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the pain began to reside enough to allow her eyes to open did her vision blink lightly though blurry. Yuri glanced around at those surrounding her at the moment, her head tried to lift when a cloud of haze and headaches striked at her merciless causing her to black out once more. She was light compared to most females, and her clothing probably odd looking being of white lined with blues, and gold metals and gems.
The craft they would find was one simular to their airships but it seems to be controled by s series of power crystals and gems that were locked into different sections of currcets allowing the machine to travel faster, or slower then must. It seemed to be in one piece other then was going to need allot of work from the spots that had captured fire or errupted, and it seemed to hold some kinda gun like weapons powered by the same power gems, and a shield system. This was a smaller version of the big ones so could be controled by only three people, and the other two members were found a few feet away from what it seems they must have been escaping something for this two had serious wounds, and the ship held marks from a battle.

Darius, upon arriving in the main lobby of his mansion called for the few healers that resided there. He had his men escort these people to the small hospital wing at his mansion in the trees and instructed them with the following. " Do what you can for them, have our guard raise to the top level of the stronghold, and await whomever might have shot them down. If anyone is found, offer them a warning fire arrow, if they resist, shoot them down and detain them. Have the harpies on second guard to be ready to do battle. Also, when these strangers come around, send them to my office, I will be waiting. "

As the hours passed sense the crash, even though her head was pounding did her eyes open slowly. Lips were dry and throat was parched from lack of water in her system, her eyes began to look around the room that she was in now. Yuri's body was still weak but did she pull herself upright to sit straight, her look was a lost one not really knowing were she was.
She shakes her head some as a hand raised to brush locks of silver hair back from her eyes, her hand brushed against the bump on her head. Yuri tried to remember how it happened but her mind seemed to just be a flood of clouds, her lips parted as she tried to speak but nothing but a cough came forth as she bent forward some her throat was to dry to speak.

Two or three servants glided into the room, in primitive yet astounding gowns. The first two bore staves carved of extragavent wood that could only be fown there in Darkwood. The last of them carried a silver platter with a small cloth wrapped over healing herbs. Some to rub on her already sealing wounds, and a few more to enhance clarity so that she might tell her story true later. The three elven servants spoke in harmony, with a haunting melody while they addressed this woman whom they had found to be a girl name Yuri. " Lady Yuri, the master awaits you in his chambers, we will be outside until you are ready to beckon his audience. " The three of them all left as quickly and mysteriously as they had come the dooring closing softly behind them without being touch and an open air breeze did flow through the open windows with only a hint of danger in the air coming forth from the archers low shouts as they ascended platform after platfrom into the treetops at Darius' order.

Yuri moved to her feet carefully did her body begin to shake some when she rose, her eyes closed for a moment allowing herself to become more steady first. As her eyes opened did she look down at the clothing she wore at the moment it was her white gown but it was covered in dirt spots, and dried blood. She frowned some, her hands reaching for the bag they must have brought there with her did she begin to shuffle through the belongings. Taking out a silver and white top, and skirt did she draw on this clean clothings before pulling on some boot onto her feet.
Yuri moved to the door did she open it slowly," Alrighty take me to your lord. Just as well get this over with now. " she said softly, after having taken a drink of water to clear her parched throat. She would follow their lead to the masters chambers.

The three maidens all nodded, once again in sync, but spoke not as they led this girl through the secondary hall where the guests were and as they passed the other rooms where Yuri's crew was, they motioned to follow. They were just getting up and were stretching with looks of satisfaction upon their faces as they moved toward the door, fully healed and their armor and clothes mended and cleaned as if nothing had ever happened. Yuri had required more medical attention and they did not have time to do the same for her. As the party of six walked through what were the most splendorous buildings in such a dense forest, it was amazing what luxury Darius lived in so far from what was known as civilization. The creatures here lived here in more of an unspoken mutual agreement to work together and protect each other, and they only held respect for members of the races that were the same as theirs and the Warheight and Ravenshield clan leaders, Darius, and Syrus. Also they did agree on two more things, all those who lived in Darkwatch, or at least in public they did so. Siegfried Warheight as well as the god, Kaos were enemies of themselves, and were to be captured upon sight if it was possible.
As they arrived at the large door, which, like everything else there looks to have been grown the way it was right there in the trees. How such a large manor was suspended, even among the great Darkwatch trees, was unkown, but surely there was no magic involved. It was true that the residents of the deep forest were not adept at sorcery. But most all there were fiercome warriors, so armies that normally would invade and try to convert them to the ways of man, were diterred by the armies of the woods, as much as they lacked order, they wanted to protect their homes more than those people that would try to attack them wanted to beat them.
Darius stood from his desk as they approached, he did not think of himself as a ruler, so much the one who rallied the Darkwatch troops so they could work together effectively, and thus he desired no throne, and did not think himself a king. Darius obeyed the king of Castle Warheight, whether he had to or not had never been established, a member of Ravenshield had always ruled Darkwatch, and there had never been contest between them. Warheights and Ravenshields had always been and always would be friends with the exception of Sieg.

Yuri's steps were silent when baring her slender yet tall figure forward, her hair hanged in waves around her shoulders not tied back like normal. It seemed silver yet in some lights it could be mistaken almost for a light shade of blue. She eyed this man they were walking towards , her vision held confusion as to whom he was and where they were. Eyes closed for a moment did she try to search her mind but the only image that kept coming up was an explosion then clouds. Sigh passed her lips after a moment, her figure lowered into a bow to be respectable," Greetings sir I do pray that we aren't causing you and your people any trouble,' her voice was musical when heard upon the ears.
She slowly raised did she look to the men that were with her. Eyes watched her confused as if she had lost her mind, or that she hadn't greeted those that were friends. Yuri frowned for their images didn't strike a familiar key in her memories it was like someone had wiped them clean. The older of the two men stepped forward did he bow lightly," We thank you for allowing us hospitality. How ever can we repay for the care you have shown us?"

On one hand, Darius' primary concern for the young girl was her safety and assuring that she was alright after the crash. But being that he had such extraordinary healers there at the mansion, what he really wanted to do was bite her head off for almost taking out the shopping district of the stronghold. He breathed a faint sigh and stood looking at her curiously. "These men came with you, do you not know them? If so why are they here in my manor? " He proclaimed eyeing them suspiciously. He himself had seen the girl pulled from the reckage, as well as the airship after it had been hauled off, but he never actually saw the two men emerge, he assumed they had been pulled out after he left with the girl.

Yuri glanced to the two men that were beside her at the moment, her lips held a frown and eyes a look of confusion. She brought her vision back to the speaking," I feel I know them sir, but my mind is a place of clouds. I can't remember much of anything not even why I was in this area or where i came from." her voice was soft and like honey so sweet come forth from her lips. A hand raised did she rub her head for a moment, her fingers draws through her hai slowly drawing it out in waves around her shoulder. Eyes closed as a sigh passed her lips," If our appearance here has caused some damage then I shall take the responsability for the punishment if there must be some." her voice whispered.
The two men came towards her slowly when they looked from her then to the lord of this manor. The oldest male stepped forward to bow lightly," Sir I am Drogan, and this is Kashdo. We are the person flight attendants and guardians to the lady Yuri. She comes from a place called Noria as the head of the house Duvee. We were in this area exploring and taking notes of new cultures, and artifacts its our ladies passion to travel sense she was told to retire as a Ranger Leader." the man said lightly. then backed away. He motioned to the lad to come with him would they leave the room now to allow this two to speak.

" Well, at any rate, I suggest you be more careful, it seems that you were gunned down over our forest, and no, you did miss our stronghold, but a craft of that size could have caused some damage. " He said with a gruff tone. Darius was still in his youth, though he had always seemed much older than he was and it was said that he, as well as the former king had lived for hundreds of years, although they knew not if he was an immortal. " You may stay here and rest as long as you like, and though we may not be too civilized, you can ask one of our scholar's or myself anything you wish about this forest or the land of Algeroth. Also, is there any way you or your men might be able to muster who it was that attacked you and which way they went? I have my men searching the skies as we speak, but it seems we missed them, they're nowhere to be found. "

The two men had left the room already, and went in search of food as their stomaches began to growl. It's possible they were also gone to watch the ladies of the house finding interesting in this races looks. Yuri shakes her head when she watched them leave," Well sir not really I am not even sure where we was or why someone was chasing us. When I start to remember things then I will inform you. Till then I will find interest in learning about this world. Is there anything that was damaged if so then I offer my aid to help you guys fix the damage." she spoke softly.
Yuri settled into a chair that was before his desk, her hands rested upon her lap. Head rested back against the chairs backrest with her eyes closed for a moment trying to search her memories.

" Don't worry about it. In a place suspended above the ground like this we have to replace walkways and foundations and such occassionally anyway. You only managed to clip a few of the overlapping walkways. " He pointed a guard to find the men and send them a message. This was not like a castle, and it was his own private home. They would have to go to their rooms and he would have entertainment and food sent. You could not simply walk freely around the manor without permission of Darius, and that was only if he trusted you. Which was rare, as Darius respected few and trusted less. " Please, if there's anything we can do to help, let us know, we are having your airship repaired though some of the parts are unfamiliar to us, seems that they are tied to magic still instead of machinery. We will do what we can, but your offensive and defensive measures may be down, though we can surely bring your propulsionary utilization back to one hundred percent shortly. "

Yuri stood did she bow lightly," Well I should leave you to your duties instead of taking up all your time sir. I am sorry for my men I shall speak with them about their habits of wandering off like that." she said lightly. She would turn to head towards the door but stopped would she await a guard to lead her back to her room half expecting that she would find it locked when night falls knowing well this people didn't trust them. Looking over her shoulder towards him," I thank you for working on the airship, and soon as it's repaired we will take our leave. I am sorry to have burdened your people with our presence." she said lightly.
As she left the room letting the door close behind her was to find the three girls still standing there having awaited for her appearance or their summons. She would follow them back to the room were she had been healing at. When passing the room the men were staying did she stop for a moment to look in on them," Ok guys I don't want you wandering this place. We are strangers here, and probably considered possible threat. Get your rest, and we will see about the ship in the morning.Soon as it's fixed we will get out of this good peoples hair." she said lightly then nods to them before heading back to her room once more. Once inside did she hear the lock latch upon her door as she had expected.

Once the door had been shut then locked behind her upon entering the room, her steps carried her to the window that looked out over the land. She watched the shadows of night taking hold of the world, her eyes closed for a moment did she try to dig through the clouds to find what she had lost. A sign passed her lips nothing came to mind, her figure turned away from the window did she move towards the fireplace were a pot had been left with some water boiling should she want a drink. She took the pot from the fire did she pour some of the water into a cup beside her bed. Yuri searched her bags pulling out a pouch from a secret compartment that probably hadn't been seen when in their search to check her things. She sorted the herbs out upon the table beside the cup, her fingers picking up various pouches pouring a little of this or that into the cup then stiring the mixture some.
The mixture actually created a poison that put one into a dream sleep that they couldn't be awakened from till they had relived the memories of the past to draw their minds back from amnesia. Yuri settled upon the beside knowing this was a risk none took without a mage near to awaken them if they go into to many hours of sleep. She lifted the cup to her lips did she begin to swallow the mixture as it slide down her throat, her heart began to slow it's beats and breathing going into almost not being seen. Body settled in a heap upon the bed as the mixture took her deep into her sleep. When seen it would seem she was actually dead and not just sleeping.

As Darius had sent to have the night's entertainment prepared, he himself had grown restless at his desk, filling out paperwork, and signing a document here and there. He looked up from his desk and sent the final word to the guard before him to draw back the troops to their main posts and send the volunteers back about their business. He had grown weary of all the work that this had required as he was one of the few tactical minds to be found amonsgst the stronghold, and he kept it as sharp as a razor through rigorous training and meditation excersizes taught to him by the former king himself. Darius had taken on both the Warheight sons in their youth as a part of the princes' education and training for their future tasks. It was there they had learned many of the physical arts and brutal training regimines that would prepare them for battle as well as give them the discipline required to further their studies in magic elsewhere. He had presumed they learned in the makeshift school in the northern mountains, where many priveleged, as well as poor students who showed talent in the magical arts went to learn under the 3 masters that worked there. Darius had always seen promise in both boys, but it was Auron (Syrus II) who had proved himself most adept at the actual fighting, though Sieg had much more discipline, it had always been obvious that Sy would become a warrior, and Sieg a mage. At least to Darius.
He grumbled a little as he shuffled the last of his papers into a pile and began to leave his office, he would go down onto the small platform suspended just below his home and spar for a while before heading back up to the entertainment and sending someone to check on the girl and her crewmen.
