Chapter Four
As Falcon approached the fast moving river he glanced up, the crystals on the ceiling that glowed with magical power had started to dim, they probably had a half hour until they went out completely. Lights Out as it was called would blanket the cavern in absolute darkness, with the fire pits each camp kept lit through out the night as the only light sources.
"Let's hurry, Rain," he said. Letting go of the chain he handed Rain a bar of lye soap. "It's not perfumed like you're used to but it will do the job." Taking the Blood Elf's hand he led him down to a rope that stretched the width of the river and placed it on it. He wrapped Rain's fingers around the line. "The river is pretty swift, no idea how good of a swimmer you are but hold onto this, you really don't want to be washed down stream. That's toward the Elfkillers." He had no idea how much got through but the elf took a tentative step into the river and looked over at him alarmed.
"Yes it's freezing but get a move on it, we don't have much time."
With a sigh the elf went deeper into the river; once he was up to chest he started to wash himself. Sitting on the riverbank Falcon kept one eye on Rain as he used a rag to wash his boots, removing the stain left behind by Rain's earlier accident. He made a mental note to show the child where the toilets were.
Loud drunken laughter drew his attention down the river; across the bridge he could see five dim outlines near the bank. He glanced back at Rain the elf had just lathered up his hair and holding onto the rope was plunging under the water to wash off the soap. The shackles seemed to be slowly him down slightly as he struggled to keep himself from floating downstream.
The hair on the back of Falcon's neck tingled and he glanced down river, the figures he noticed earlier had fallen quiet and seemed to be closer than they had been. He frowned there had been five figures a moment ago, now there were only three.
"Rain! Come here now!" Falcon said standing and motioning.
The Sin'dorei glanced over at him, his long wet hair hung down across his face. He was shivering from the cold.
"Now!" Falcon shouted.
Grabbing onto the rope Rain started walking toward Falcon when he suddenly disappeared under the water. Falcon let out shrill whistle as he watched the fingers around the rope slip off. Diving into the water his form shimmered as he let the aquatic spirit that rested inside him take over. He glided through the chilly water propelled by his massive fins. There in front of him was Rain being dragged down stream by a troll.
The child was struggling and there was a brilliant burst of light from Rain's hand as the troll seemed stunned for a moment. Falcon easily closed the distance and slammed his massive seal body into the troll. Flipping around he transferred back to his elf form and grabbing the chain of the shackle kicked his legs dragging them both to the surface.
Rain gasped for breath as they broke free of the icy water. Falcon glanced around, they were approaching the bridge. Slipping a hand around Rain's chest he started swimming toward the bank. They had drifted into the deeper part of the river.
Falcon let out a scream as his back exploded in pain, Rain was pulled from his numb grip by the rogue whose dagger had been buried in his back. The orc gave him a wicked grin. "Don't worry elf," it growled in Common. "We'll make sure to return anything that is left."
"No!" Rain yelled trying to break free. The green skinned orc head butted the struggling elf stunning him. Then tossing Rain over his shoulder ducked under the bridge and toward the Horde party standing near the bank.
At that moment there was a loud roar as a giant black tiger came tearing down the riverbank toward the Elfkillers. The large feline's razor sharp teeth clamped down on the leg of an unfortunate troll, Falcon cast a quick heal spell on himself as he treaded water. As the same moment another of the invading party slumped over stunned; a breath later Sly appeared and buried two daggers into the back of the troll the tiger was attacking. Recovered Falcon disappeared beneath the water and transformed again, racing toward the retreating orc who was desperately trying to get out of the stream.
As he broke the surface the druid effortlessly changed once more this time channeling the agility and strength of a panther, he turned into a sleek black cat. His razor-sharp claws raked down the back of the orc, avoiding Rain. The orc let out a howl but didn't let go of his prize. As Falcon went to attack again Crystal appeared and brought her shield down hard on the orc's shoulder, the druid heard bones breaking.
This time Rain was thrown to the ground as the orc pulled out a dagger with his working arm. Falcon moved and stood protectively over the Sin'dorei, paws on either side. He let out a low growl. "You've attacked my clan; I will have my vengeance in blood!"
Crystal struck, easily blocking the dagger with her shield as she brought her sword down on the orc's arm. As blood splattered across his muzzle, Falcon got ready to strike.
An earth shattering wail stopped his attack mid-jump and he swore. He glanced over at the other group, the dwarves had joined the fray, Sly and Red had made quick work of the rest. Falcon transformed back to his elf form. "Tell Demoncraft this Sin'dorei is MINE and any actions taken against him or my clan will be treated as a declaration of war."
"Lad we have to go … now!" Sid said appearing at his side, his large hammer stained red. "They've unleashed the Panatas …"
The lights flickered. "Damn it!" Grabbing the arm of the naked elf that was still huddled on the ground Falcon urged him back toward the camp a hundred yards away. "Go!" he shouted. As the rest of the clan raced back Rain struggled to find footing on the slick rocks. Crystal tried to help steady him as another wail bounced off the cave wall. "We don't have time," Falcon said as he shifted his form once again.
"Throw him on my back," he growled after he transformed into a large grizzly bear.
With little effort his wife did just that, throwing Rain across his broad back. He sprinted up the hill and through the gate of the camp, as Star slammed it into place, locking it. "Quarters, quick!" Falcon shouted as he raced toward his own. Crystal opened the door and he barreled inside transforming back as he did and falling into a heap on the ground with the Sin'dorei on top.
Crystal shut the door as Falcon slid out from under Rain and twisting his body placed one hand over the shivering Blood Elf's mouth and wrapped the other arm around his wife holding her close. The lights outside flickered off and the small hut became pitch black. Falcon could feel the heartbeat of the child against his chest.
Outside the hut they could hear the whoosh of large wings in the air, followed by another loud cry. Falcon's hand muffled a scream from Rain. The heavy beating continued for what seemed like an eternity but probably only a few minutes before it moved away farther down the cavern.
"Why did they release the Panatas?" Crystal whispered as she wrapped a blanket around the trembling elf. "There was only a handful of us … it doesn't make sense."
"I don't know … maybe there was something else going on," Falcon sighed. "Rain …"
"Rain?"
"It's your pet's name … Rain listen to me please … outside is bad … outside is talah … death." The young elf tensed in his arms. "Yes you know that word … talah … damn it I wish we could light a torch, at least our eyes can see sufficient, not sure of our sun-kissing cousin. It's bad enough the fire pit is lit, we don't want that beast's attention."
A terrible scream came from outside.
"It sounded to the west; I pray it was a Forsaken free from their curse now and not one of Ironsong's." Crystal said softly. "We should probably try to get some rest; they'll still expect a full crew tomorrow at the mines."
Just then a loud gong was sounded three times.
"Elune watch over us," Crystal said. "The Keeper here at this hour … there will be more blood spilled tonight."
"Shit," Falcon sighed. "Can this night get any worse?"
