Feet sloshed through the muddy path and white, stained slippers lost grip on the slippery, wet path, as Dominic took off running with hands whipping madly in front of her and pushing the sharp tree branches from her face, as the splitters nicked at the flash of bare skin.
Dominic slid around a sharp corner and the soaked, muddy (Black bed - time shorts and white singlet) clung against her body, as she slid slowly down the slope and took refuge behind a fallen tree trunk and waited with a breath held in, as booted footsteps ran past and a hooded figure disappeared into the abyss of shadows.
Crawling out on hands and knees, with a tangled mess of chocolate locks scattered across her face in a wild gust storm of rain and she grasped timidly at the embankment and lifted herself free from the sheltered get away and started the long journey hope now that she had lost them, but as she gazed over curve of shoulder her mind knew they would return.

"I should wonder why one should be out here in the depths of the forest at such a late hour" His form cloaked well as he was seated on a high branch, a staff rested against one part of the shoulder, having watched everything from the tree tops, not pleased to see someone being tormented in one of the places he took status while he slept when not at the master's side. Allowing his form to be seen now as he now looked down at the woman. His form would be a dead give away to anyone who knew of elves and Drow.
Dropping into a crouch before straightening up and looked at the woman. "Are you alright?" His form stood at 6'1 in stature, he held the darker toned skin of his Drow heritage rather then his elven one, slipping his hand out to her, to allow her assistance to stand, the staff now rested behind him in it's usual weapon form of a bow. "My name is Dar, I am not here to harm you"

Head titled upwards, as eyes darted back and forth in search for the owner of the voice and she nearly jumped from her skin and her right hand grasped out and clutched the offering hand before she slipped on unsteady feet and braced herself against him "A late night exercise" she said quickly recovering from the stumble and stepped back from the man "What brings you here?" Cold droplets of rain sent a quiver up her spine "My name is Dominic" biting down on bottom lip, as eyes fell upon his own and studied him carefully in seeing if he was a friend or foe.

"Hardly think those men were thinking that way as to what brings me here, I live here, I am the guardian of this forest and all those in it, to give a dear friend of mine a break from having to watch every part of this land I have taken up the position since I am more at home in the woods it was best suited" He noted that she was cold as he placed the left hand to surrounding area and warmed the temperature enough to also dry out her clothing and her body without having to touch her, not wishing to frighten her any more then she seemed to be.
He would not be of any threat to her unless she threatened his home or those he held close to his heart, he had sworn long ago to stand with a man and his sister and he would not allow that promise to be broken. "If you seek a safe haven, I can show you a place where you will be safe and where you will be able to live in peace, from your aura I am gathering you are quite the powerful in magic"

Licking water from her lips and as the warmth huddled around her and once drenched clothing became dry an eyebrow rose up, as he spoke and she stood there listening carefully "Well your aura speaks the same, Dar and this place you speak of is it, as safe as you say?" She kept herself at safe distance and a guard watch on him, as her cautious nature came through "Who lives there?".

Gave a low sweeping bow. "I am a drow, a dark elf if you will but do not mistake the dark for one who is a threat, The master lives there, you will meet him soon I am sure and I have my full trust in the man, he like me wishes for a safe place for those who are outcasts and hunted for just being who they are which is what I am assuming those men want to do with you" He was respectful to all who crossed his path more so when it came to those who were in trouble, he was a healer more then a dealer of wounds but if it came down to it he would fight with all he had to protect the place he called home and those he had grown to adore and care for.

"A friend had spoken of this land, as you do right now and I can tell that you speak truth, so I guess I could trust your word" folding her arms beneath her chest, as her gaze fell away from Dar "Those men are just fool's" her voice dropped into a whisper, as she glanced at Dar from corner of her eye "Your Aura holds kindness that I haven't seen in long time and colors are beautiful".

"I seek to heal not harm unless pushed to" His greenish yellow eyes showed clearly as he stood there. "May I ask who your friend is that has spoken of this land with such kindness, you do not have to answer me if you don't wish to, I wish to know cause I miss those who once remained here, it has been a long time since I have seen those who once resided here in this place and I hope they start to return but only time will tell if they come to the call or not"

"My Friend Adele Black" those blue/gray hues lowered for a moment "She spoke highly of these lands and told me I would be safe" she lifted her eyes up from the ground so she could see his eyes through blanket of darkness and the shimmer of light that allowed her a glimpse "So, how far away is this place you speak of ?".

"Ah, Adele. I do hope she is well and yes, she was right, you are safe" He looked to the north for a few moments before returning his attention to her once more. "Not far through the woods to the north, I can be your guide if you wish" He gave another formal bow, his respect was always high for those who did not hold any ill will toward his home, adjusting the weapon before pointing to the north. "That way and give or take how fast you wish to travel half a day give or talk walking at a normal pace"

Dominic looked over the forest and her gaze fell on Dar, with a small smile "Well let's get going" she took a step forth and took walk beside Dar "Adele had passed on" her voice fell in hushed whispers, as she swept a few branches from her face "So, what creatures live here?" Her tone was a spike of curiousity.

He lowered his gaze to the ground for a few moments, he had wished to speak with her. "I am sorry for your loss Dominic, she was a lovely woman" Never breaking stride beside her before raising his attention back to the way they were walking. "There is many sorts but for now I am not sure who is there now days since it has been almost a year that I have returned myself but I can assure you that its is safe, the Master and mistress of the coven are both lovely people"

"Yes she was" her voice was kept at a hushed tone and a corner gaze upon Dar "Well by your Aura and emotion upon your voice tells me you respect this Master and Mistress and I cannot see a lie so I trust your judgement, Dar" her arms curls back at her chest "Have you lived here all your life?".

"Yes, I hold them both in high respect and no I have not lived here all my life, I usually live underground, day light is not really a fan to my eye sight, I am more best at night then during the day" He would not hide anything from her should she ask anything of him, it was not his way, he would not lie but the way he spoke would make most think he had something to hide, walking along with her. "I have informed the master of your predicament and he has placed me in charge of your safety if that is alright with you?"
