Chapter Six: Child Hood Memories

Like Legolas had proclaimed, the dark elves dined in celebration with the wood elves.At a table with varieties of fruit, ribs, steak, turkey. Of couse also the best tasting ale in the Elven lands Around the room there was Celtic Music being played.Nothing in the room held one bit of interest to Jarlaxle or Kit. So they only sat there at the table while Gromph and his mother spoke with Feltic.

Soon, Kit and Jarlaxle began to poke eachother in the arm lightly with the steak knives. Soon that turned into a little sword fight with the knives. Jarlaxle shouting" I shall smite thee....thee...woman from the Abyss!"

" Stop it! Both of you!" Hissed Feltic.

Immedaitely Jarlaxle and Kit dropped their knives and sat up straight. " Sorry papa."Kit muttered. She leaned over to Jarlaxle," Lets go play outside." He nodded in agreement so....

Outside they ran around laughin. And shouting playfully. Kit ran around in circles with her arms out wide. Mimicing a bird. flying in the air. While Jarlaxle acted like he held a bow and arrow. Aiming at her. " AHHH no! Don't shoot me!!!!" Kit begged playfully in a little voice adding a tweet tweet in the middle.

" I got you!" Jarlaxle proclaimed.Acting as though he had shoot her.So Kit acted as though he had hit her in the chest with the arrow and stumbled to the ground." Oh...uh...you...ugn...got me...." She he dropped. Several moments went by. Kit still had not moved. Her eyes were tightly shut. And she appeared dead. Not breathing at all. Carefully the drow child approached her and tapped her .

" Kit." No responce." Kit? Kit?" Still nothing.

Jarlaxle slowly knelt down and touched her shoulder. Abruptly Kit struck up at him. She stood and laughed as she had started the dark elf. So bad that he had stumbled back upon his butt.

He was going to tackle her. But then the sound of Kit's brother, her father and Jarlaxle's mother, arguing voices boomed from inside.

" Jarlaxle has nothing to do with Kit's fighter spirit!" Matron Baerne shouted.

" Liar!" Exclaimed Feltic." You drow are followers of Lloth!" He turned and shouted towards Legolas," And you! You introduced your sister to that reject of a child!"

" Quiet Feltic!" Gromph shouted," Tis your daughter who brain washed my brother! "

" No! Tis your boy Baerne. Who has taught my daughter the meaning of hatred and violence. She never was this way until your son came into her life!" Within the sound of chairs hitting the floor could be heard and blades being drawn could be heard.

Kit looked at Jarlaxle, they knew that Gromph Baerne and Feltic were fighting with swords and were destined to kill eachother. Meaning that if Gromph were to die, Jarlaxle would have to take his place as leader of the Bregan D'aerth.

She shook her head. The two turned and fled. Blaming themselves for this fued......


Present....

The images of Kit's past disappeared. Kit began to grow too dizzy and finally let herself collaspe upon the sand. Perhaps never to rise.

It was a desolate area. With stakes and imapled heads. The Bregan D'Aerth sat there on horseback outside the dark cave before them.One blinked once and turned to his leader." We should not be here.Lloth will slaughter us all, Jarlaxle!" He snapped.

Jarlaxle turned to the protester and drew his handbow. Aimed and shoot,"She sent for me in the first place morons!"He snapped as the dead drow fell to the red brown sand off his horse." The rest of you dogs can wait behind if you wish."He paused then added." This woun't take long."He dismounted his horse.And cautously entered the cave.

The cave was misty and slightly pitch black.Small streams of water trickled down and around the cave walls.Cob webs hung around the cealing. Medium sized black widows watched Jarlaxle pass by. Determaining weither of not they should kill him. But before they could, their feelers lit up. And they scattered away. As The large Spider Queen entered the chamber. Lloth spoke to him," At last, mercenary, you finally acknowlegded my wishes. Welcome to my home." Lloth began.

Jarlaxle removed the green bandana on the top of his head out of respect, and took a charming bow." My men and I had nothing better to do." he began with a smirk and silky tone. Though he had little or no interest of being there. And Lloth easily could see his feelings. But she did well to hide her knowledge. There was a silence. Then Jarlaxle decided to ask." Is it true? That a woman has brought down the Mighty Serpant Gargoyal?"

Lloth looked at him and smiled." Follow me, Jarlaxle and you shall see what happened. Witness the truth." She said turning, she lead him further into the cave. Along the walls he noticed there was rotted flesh from wood elves who had tried and failed to kill her. Jarlaxle could not help but comment." You must have an equisite decorator, my queen." He said with a smirk.

" Thank you. Actually they were free meals." She said. Jarlaxle only nodded as they entered a wide dome shapped area. In the middle of this room was a pool.

" Whats that?" He asked her.

Lloth turned, pointing to the pool," Observe Jaralxle." She said. Jarlaxle gazed down into the rippling waters.An image of that woman he stole the bandana from was within.He was about to see how one woman killed such a powerful creature.....

Approaching some bush, Cautously with her bow ready. When she turned aorund, she had been greeted by a large dragon like gargoyal.

Kit's mouth opened slightly. Slowly she lifted her bow, about to fire. When the creature pushed her back into the bushes with it's head. Kit's bow had flown from her fingertips. She rolled back where she tumbled down a hill on her back until she reached the bottom. She knew the bloody thing had followed her.

Quickly she arose and drew her double hand bows. Pulling the hammer down, she shot two groups of six arrows on each. All twelve had struck it. Kit flipped to the side to avoid a green ball of flame from it's mouth hitting her.

She quickly reloaded her double bows. And fired again. Then reaching into her pack she pulled out a vial and tossed it infront of the gargoyal.When it shattered, light splayed around the creature. Making it back up. Kit smiled and ran quickly to attack it from the side. She kicked it several times.

Before she could do it again, the gargoyal used his claws to send Kit all the way into the river. She rolled over and stood. Waist deep. Looking frantically for her hand bows. She retreaved only one. The one she had put around her waist." Damn." She muttered. Just as the gargoyal had entered the river. " Fuck!" She cursed then dove under the water. While loading her hand cross bow. The creature still followed her. She made it at least to shoot it once with six arrows.

Kit made it back to shore, she drew her dagger. And relaoded her bow. With only one arrow left. Carefully she aimed. As the Gargoyal approached her. She smiled and pulled the trigger. Hitting the creature right between the eyes. She ran quickly to the gargoyal, ducking it's claws she rolled under the beast andf stabbed it in it's heart with her dagger. Twisted it a bit then yanked it out. Bringing the heart impaled on her dagger as she rolled back and let it fall dead to the ground......

Jarlaxle's eye widened in disbelief.

" From the army of the drow one warrior holds the strength and power above all. She brought down what most could not even slash." Lloth began to explain.

" Why have you let me see this? See her?" He asked.

Lloth smirked." Well, well. I see that you are one who believes that getting to the point of all so much the better. I showed you this woman because one simple archer such as her destroyed that mighty creature. Kit is her name...."She paused as Jarlaxle's eye widened slightly. This brought a smile to Lloth's lips." Ah...yes...you knew her one....This is a start...that you are wearing her bandana." She stated.

Jarlaxle lifted a white eyebrow," A start to what?" He asked crossing his arms over his chest. Showing that she had his attention.

" The first step in the end of the war. You stole the bandana from her. Ride now to the desert and return it to her. I want her alive." She said firmly.

Jarlaxle bowed slightly and moved back that way until Lloth was out of his sight.
