Enchantress came to me and said "Meet me at the lake tonight" I hummed this song to the white Through the shroud of snow I saw Paradise Peace, no more lies Crestfallen soul Rest for this night Love is here Right here under my wings I dream of wolves With them I run For me she lengthened the night I am home
I am in peace Crestfallen soul Rest for this night Love is here Right here under my wings Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night Love is here Right here under my wings Crestfallen soul Rest for this night Love is here
Right here under my wings -Nightwish “ White night Fantasy.”

Chapter Seven:Kit Confronts Jarlaxle

Jarlaxle pulled his horse to a stop about halfway from Lloth's cave." You men ride back to the Underdark without me." he ordered and turned his horse towards the desert where he knew the elf woman was laying there dying.

By the time he had reached her. The moon was in the sky. Kit did not move. Jarlaxle knew that she could not be dead. As he dismounted. He knelt down to her. Took his hat off her head, then lifted her head onto his lap. He stared at her face.This was the first moment he realized how beautiful she really was. Finding it hard to believe that she was once his best friend he assumed to be dead.

He shook it off and opened a sheepskin cantene ( Spelled Wrong? )and placed the brim to her dry lips. Swiftly the water reached her mouth. Immedietly Kit swallowed it. And sat up. She peared over at the drow. Who smiled charmingly at her and placed her bandana on the top of her head. And put his hat back on his head." I told you I'd return for my hat." He said with a smile.Kit was going to repond, but found that nothing came out. her mouth was too sore and dry. But she glanced over behind him. Her eyes widened. Jarlaxle's ears twitched but he was too late in acting as he turned around, only to be greeted by the hilt of a sword crashing into his face. Knocking him out.

There stood the wood elves. One rode up on a white horse. He was familiar. Kit knew right away who it was." Legolas." She manage to barely choke out.

Legolas nodded and dismounted his horse.Gently picking his baby sister up." We shall take her back to camp. And treat her as a guest. And as for the drow scum, tie him up in the prison tent." He ordered. Kit could only blink once, and watched as blury figured moved about then her world blacked out again.

Elf Camp.....

" Sir." started one wood elf.Legolas stood outside a tent.

" What?" He asked.

" A mortal man, has come to speak with you. He claims to be here straight from the Castle Stronghold. With word from Lara." He explained.

" Damn." Legolas cursed under his breath."Send him to speak to me in my tent then." He turned to walk towads his tent. Waiting there was Rick, Lara's manservant.

" I come here directly from order of Lara, Queen of the Castle Stronghold. I have a message for Kit Greenleaf. Wherever she may be." He began.

" She is resting. But I am her brother, Legolas.You may give the message to me if you like. And I in turn will send it to her when she wakes."

Rick seemed reluctant." Uh..okay...here you are." He said handing him a rolled up piece up paper. He pocketed it and went to see to his sister.

Dressed in only her thong and a blanket over her body Kit slowly opened her eyes," Hi." She said.

Legolas smiled back." It has been years since I have seen you. What happened to you?" He asked.

Kit only shrugged and sat up, keeping the blanket on over her breasts." Doesn't really matter, Legolas. Where is the dark elf?" She asked. Getting up to dress only her regualr outfit, leaving out her combat gear,earings, and bandana.

" Kit." Legolas sighed.

"Where is the drow?" She asked in a firm tone.

Legolas sighed deeply this time and decided there was no point in arguing with her over this." He is over in the prison tent. Over there." He pointed. Kit said nothing and walked quickly from the tent and walked into the one Jarlaxle was kept. his hands bound around the wood piller holding up the tent.

" Well, well." Jarlaxle started, not looking at her from under his hat," it lives."

" You tried to help me, back there in the desert. Why?" Kit asked ignorring his comment.

" Probably because Lloth want you alive." He mused curtly.

" That wench killed my father." Kit snapped." Why not try to finish off Feltic's seed too?!"She demanded to know.Jarlaxle only chuckled. Kit glared hard and went over to him. Roughly slapping him across the face." Answer me!" She ordered firmly." Why would Lloth want me alive?!"

" Because you are not like anyother woman she has ever seen." He stated. After a moments silence he decided to speak again. To remind her, who he was to her," You still owe me for convincing Hourse Do'Urden for taking you in."

" I owe you nothing. you lied to me. You said that when I ran away with you, we'd never be separated. You abandoned me. Jarlaxle. I thought we were best friends." She whispered.

Jarlaxle nodded," Yes, but. The Bregan D'Aerthe took me after my brother and your father killed eachother. I had to take Gromph's Baerne's place as leader." He explained.

“ Which was more to you then our friendship?” She hissed.

Jarlaxle shook his head.” I had no other choice.. Kit. I pray that you could forgive me.” He muttered. Kit inched herself closer to him and responded with a kiss. Upon the lips. “ I thought of you every moment. Saw you within my dreams every time I dreamt. For years,” Jarlaxle whispered after their kiss ended.

“ I’m sorry Jarlaxle. “ She whispered and leaned over to kiss Jarlaxle again. But Legolas had walked in.

” Kit.” He began quickly.” This message is for you.” He said handing her the rolled up scroll. He turned and left as Kit unrolled it and her eyes skimmed it. “ Legolas!” She called running after her brother.
