As Atasatch leaves the Healers Den he walks on the path leading to Jastrey in search of his companions necklace. He stares at the ground quickly scanning to and fro for the slightest glimmer of the necklace. If only I had track. He thinks to himself. Perhaps my wild form would help.
As he approaches, just as he gets within her weapon swing, she twirls around, drawing her long blackblade in the same motion as she rises to set it at Atasatch's neck. Her eyes meet his as hers burn with a hellish fire, her teeth grit and her gaze looking like one that was ready to rip him limb from limb. But she then blinks as she come to recognize who he is..."...A...Atasatch....." She drops the blade to her side, looking around and frowning. "....forgive me..." She whispers as keeps scanning the area surrounding them. She shakes her head out, mumbling something unintelligible, seeming a foreign tongue. She then bends back down over the corpse, spreading it's ribs appart and digging through it's lungs and chest cavity.
As the blade flew nears Atasatch's neck he didn't flinch nor blink he simply stared a Akon with the same intensity as before. "You are forgive mine friend, I to know what it is like to draw blade..or claw to a friend.I will not take much of your time I am in search of an amulet that one of companions seemed to have dropped whilst beign carried on the back of a silver she-wolf. have you seem anything?"
Akon clutches her chest and curls over a minute, then coughs a few times, slightly, then louder, then lets out an all out bone rattling hack. "Rmmn....no...no I haven't...."
She rises, not looking at him, and keeping herself bent over. "No....prepare for your day...."
She strides quickly away from the druid, still letting out a sputtering hack. "And stay away from those damn corpses...."
Zanna walks out from the tavern and into the woods still chuckeling to herself from the previous events. She looks around for Edrick more and reaches to her neck but had forgotten she was looking for her pendent.
She continues on into the woods and spies Atasatch with the mysterious girl from the Healers Den.
She is about to say something to them when she hears a rustle and sees a glint of a silver streak in the distance.
Zanna watches Atasatch as he chases the streak down into the woods. She then runs over to catch up with Fancy as she's walking away. She goes around her and stops dead in front of her and looks her in the face curiously. "Your eyes are red.." Then she smiles lightly.
Akon stops short, recoiling silghtly, and holding her elbow to cover her mouth as she coughs and steps back, keeping space between herself and the girl. "Aye...they are..." She says quietly, her eyes intense and red, but they seem only that, intense, not threatening. She looks over the girl curious herself as to what she may want.
Zanna stares the mysterious girl in the eyes with my curiosity. "I don't think we really introduced ourselves properly." She trails off as she hears a howl deep in the distance and cocks her head to the side, then after a second of listening she disregards the sound with it not being the right sound she was wanting to hear.
She turns back to the red-eyed woman and bows before her swiftly. "Zanna Martindale, pleased to make your acquaintance." Zanna stands back up and smiles at the girl.
Akon watches on with slightly edgy curiosity as the girl bows, not returning the jesture, and meets eyes with her again when she rises. She waits, still seeming to ponder what this girl might be about, then delicately bows her head low respectfully. "Honored."
She looks back up to her, seeming slightly less guarded. "Are you well now, Miss Martindale?"
Akon gives pause before she responds and then continues quietly and gently. "I am glad that you are vell." Akon hacks, grabbing her chest with her free hand and stepping back a bit more, her eyes looking slightly pained. "I caught a bad wiff from that corpse...stay avay from them...far avay...I do not vant you to become sick."
She hacks a few more times then finally lets her cough settle. "As I have offered my protection to Lady Rhadama, so I offer it to you. Should you need me, you need merely call. I shall come to your aid if I am able."
As Atasatch emerged from the woods his breathing was heavy and his clothes were torn slightly he walked over to Zanna and held out his hand. "I do not know if this is your necklace or a piece of glass but I thought it would at least be worth a shot." In Atasatch's hand was a reflective object that glinted in the light.
Zanna bows her head courtiously at Fancy's offer for help, as she does so Atasatch runs out of the woods, clothes ripped, pendent in hand.
Zanna runs up to Atasatch and gives him a quick hug and grabs the pendent from him and kisses it lightly. "Where did you find it?!", as she askes this she looks at him curiously seeing his newly ripped clothes.
Akon glances between the two, firey eyes locking onto the pendent then the girl. All the while she keeps her distance then over a short smile which dissapears just as quickly. "I'll be but a call away." At that, she sweeps away, elbow still folded over her mouth as she coughs and sputters.
Atasatch looks to Akon as she runs away hacking and coughing. He looks to Zanna. "That woman has been through more hell than either of us can imagine, id be shocked if there was a healer in Jastrey that could help her. As for you amulet." Atasatch looked down at his cloths, ripped and shredded around the arm leg and back areas. "I found your she-wolf, I had to go into my wild form to catch her I trailed her for a while and she stopped looked at me and howled she stood still and allowed me to ger close to her nearly nose to nose. As she walked away I followed and my paw was cut on something portruding out of the dirt. I regressed to my elven state and retreived the amulet. with a cut hand I walked back to her only to fall down an embankment hitting nearly every tree and bush on the way down." Atasatch finished his story with a smirk and chuckled.
"I wish someone could help her.." Zanna whispers while looking down to the ground, caressing her pendent. "As for my pendent, I'm so appy you found it, I really appreciate it", she says in a sincere voice. "I really don't know who the she-wolf is, I'm beginning to think she follows me", Zanna says all the while giggling at Atasatch's messed up clothes, she reaches for a ripped peice and chuckles and says "As for this, you should really be more careful."
With her last couple words she chuckles once more at Atasatch's clumsiness and turns around. Just before she walks off she turns back again to Atasatch and says, "I really do thank you for finding my pendent, it means so much to me." With that she turns swiftly and walks off back to the tavern at the same time putting her pendent back in it's rightful spot.
Just within Atasach's vision, he can see the blackdrapped form of Akon stalking her way slowly across the field with the canter of the undead. She takes her time as she moves, and occassionally bends down to the field, placing her hand into the stained soil. She then works her way long the treeline, just inside the walls of Jastrey and finally curls down, huddled over one of the ruined corpses of the soldiers. She begins grotesquely picking at it, rummaging through its exposed entrails and pushing around its grey, rotting flesh. (Inspect corpse).
