ooc: No, you're perfectly welcome. This could actually be good
As soon as Vardian had taken off he knew that there was someone else in the area. He was above the canopy now and he brought himself to a hover, looking down through the leaves. He closed his eyes and reached out for the new being's soul and found it off near where he had been talking to the first elf just previously.
He turned in the air, heading straight towards the newcomer, already sure of who it was, and gald to see her here on such a peculiar co-incidence.
He broke through the leave and landed in front of the elf queen, kneeling from the force of his legs hitting the ground. He stood up straight and folded his wings back along his back, levelling his eyes with the queen. "Greetings Lady Nala, Queen of the Elves." he said with a bow...

((Hello Nala ;D))
ShadowMask had just gotten on the deers path again when she heard Vardians voice again. With her silent feet ShadowMask swung up onto a thick branch and crouched neer the trunk. No it was not her busniess who he was talking to but she could not help but be courious... Slowly, with the silence of a trained hunter, she peered down at the two.

((Hello! )) "Hello Vardian," she said while bowing her head slightly. Not knowing what rank an angel held. Nala recognized him, from the ocassional stories of an angle. She assumed that this was him. "What brings you out here?" Nala asked, curious why Vardian was in the forest. Instinctively, her hand had slipped away from her bow. Assuming that it would be rude, yet she was ready to knock an arrow in a heartbeat. Something caught her attention, Nala looked in the trees, but saw nothing, and for some reason assumed that it was an animal. A smile painted its self across her fair face, what a boring outing this had seemed. But, with running into only one mere soul, it made it all the more better. Nala looked back at Vardian, and she couldn't help but stare at his wings, and now. Rethinking the moment, Nala remembered how gracefully he entered. Her eyes met his eyes once again, as she awaited his answer.

Vardian looked at Nala without taking his eyes away, "Acually, I was just previously speaking to another of your kin. I know her as Valerlenta, but she has ssemed to assume the name of Shadow Mask."
He turned away from the memory, it would probably only start an argument if what Shadow Mask had said about the other elves turned out to be true. "I'm afraid that I have some cruel tidings about the elves queen. It seems that the peace which has lasted for so long in the world may soon be broken. Ancient hatreds are being rekindled in the hearts of the races of the realm. I do not believe that I alone will have the power to avert a war, which I believe this may turn into..."
It was a pretty open warning, he had been so sure of what the enemy in this battle would be, but of late he was not so sure anymore. Sometimes he got the idea that the enemy could maybe be an ally as well... and it was confusing to him...for now...

Nala looked at Vardian for a moment, letting the words soak in. She knew, that this is where it had been headed for some time. But she never realized that the time was now. A sigh of hopeless desire to escape the troubles ahead left Nala's lips.
"You speak the truth. A dreadfull one, but the truth none the less. This leaves me to figure my allies, and enemies." For a moment she started to stare longingly at Vardian, hoping he would relay more information. Then Nala thought back to his first statement... Valerlenta. She was curious as to what they had talked about, but then realized it was none of her business.
"Is the war of so soon that I should...?" Nala stopped. Should I what? Send letters, prepare the army, protect the homes? With a wave of the hand she dissmissed the uncompleted sentence, pretending it never entered the conversation.

Vardian heard her uncompleted sentence, and decided to finish it for her, "The time here, yes, is for you to decide where your alleigances lie. With your people, or with your country." Vardian paused only for a second. "Old hatreds will have to die, new friednships will have to be made. You will have to be ready to fight to defend yourselves, or not fight at all."
He turned around and looked up into a tree, directly into the eyes of Shadow Mask. "Old hatreds will have to die..."

Nala stood there, soaking in the words. Though this is what she had prepared for, it still came as a shock. She caught Vardian looking at the tree and talking, where she had once heard the "animal", though she could detect nothing. Her curiousity sparked.
"Thank you. I know realize that you are right. The elves and I have many descisions to be made. There are many roads that one could take, yet I hope I can take the best for my people and country." Nala said, as she nodded her head to the wise angel.
Then it dawned on her, 'The time here, yes, is for you to decide where your alleigances lie. With your people, or with your country.' She had been struck off guard with that one. What did he mean? Though Nala didn't want to look foolish, so she kept that to herself for later pondering.

((Sorry for not being on. I am in a motel a motel tonight but I think we are staying here tomorrow night too so I can get on.)) ShadowMask froze at the voice of the elf queen and nearly fell from the tree, then froze yet again as Vardians eyes reached her own. "Old hatreds will have to die..." She repeated under her breath so neither could hear, in her mind shoving the posibilities away. 'Some things burn to hot to be forgiven.' She scrutinized the situation that was getting far to sticky for her likings...

((Yay! Your back!))
There was much to comprehend. Actions had to be solved. Letters had to be written to decide alliances. Desperately Nala clung onto the hope that the angel would rely more information. To tell her the things she wanted to hear. Nala felt that she needed to be the role model to her country, or people. Once again that struck.
"Are you to be fighting?" Nala asked the Vardian. Curiosity had gotten the best of her, and she didn't know what the answer was. Or who would he fight for.
((Sorry... kinda short post.))

"I will be the first to meet whatever perils face this world. And I will never leave them." He could sense her confusion in her, and figured he should give her one last comment to work with. "Make any preperations you need to defend you and your people, and then find who are your friends. I must take my leave now."
He unfurled his wings and readied himself to take off, "Good luck, my lady." He pushed off from the ground, sending some leaves and twigs fluttering in his wake as he took into the skies...

((Might not have internet the next few days)) ShadowMask was almost glad when he pushed off the ground. Somehow he had known where she hid but if he left then she had more of chance of getting away from the queen. Slowly she made her way down to the ground and into the bush surounding.

The lady nodded, and lets the quotes sink into. There was much to be done. And hearing that the Vardian was fighting, made her smile. But it soon disappeared, 'for what side though.' Suddenly she heard a quitest of noises, as she looked around. But then thought it was her imagination.
Finally a ray of sun, peaked through the trees onto Nala as she smiled. This was her light of hope. With so much to do, Lady Nala quitely scurried pack to her people. 'Make any preperations you need to defend you and your people, and then find who are your friends. I must take my leave now.'

As soon as ShadowMask could no longer see the queen she rushed away, wanting to put as much distance as posible between them. She glanced back ocationally, which was normaly her habit but was now out of worry. 'Of all the people she had to run into in the forest it bad to be her...' No longer caring about the noise, she picked up the pace to get away and compleatly forgot about the deer that had brought her here.
