* Draken-Korin rode towards Kinether and nodded to the man who seemed to be the leader of the city. He took of his helmet and smiled*
" I am lord Draken-Korin of the Vestrit family. Cousin to the king of Krondor, Belial Vestrit. The Urgorians and my men weren't seeking for a fight. " *smiles and nods towards the army behind Kinether* " I think the lord of Nerai will believe me as we were only here with 500 men. We killed just out of defence. The matter that brought us here was the hunt on a Gurai-women who betrayed our hospitality that we had given her in trust and confidence."
* Draken pulls up a thinking face*
" Trust and confidence....those are the same, not? " *lifts up shoulders* " Anyway, as the Gurai-women is in your possession now, I would like to warn you not to trust her. As our hospitality ment nothing to her, I'm seriously doubting yours will be used as well. I would also like to ask the lord of Nerai that he allowes us, by the unwriten laws of decency, to bury our dead men and stay for the night. We of the Valheru cary no bitterness or revenge for our losses. All we ask is that they get a proper burial by the Krondorian rituals. We would be the Lord of Nerai, thankfull."
*stops talking and waits for an answer of Kinether*

Ilthir, the little humans have proven to be more foolish then expected, ready the troops, we want at least 15,000 ready to portal in, preferably simultaneously. Also, see if you can do anything about speeding the Gur'ai's arrival.
Aye my lord, it will be done. I may even be able to portal some troops directly into the city. At this time of the week most of the rangers are in town, or in camps with a wizard, so your desired army should be ready shortly.
One thing, quickly. I want five wizards, we may be able to avoid it all with a little persuasion. After all, Elven magic is powerful. The connection faded, and a minute later a portal cracked open beside them, and five wizards stepped through.
Alkartir released the bolt of lighting towards a house, the energy setting it on fire.
"This is what one Elf can do with ease, I have five with me to show you what a group can do. Should you ignore that warning, fifteen thousand Elves will be teleported into, and around, your city. I gave you a chance for an alliance with the Elves and Gur'ai, but your foolishness has proven itself. I ask only that you release your Gur'ai prisoner." Alkartir's voice proved that the calm Elves could be harsh, just like the winds.
"Lets see if they can at least show some wisdom when the obvious choice is thrown in their face. Malaes, go into the city. Be ready to strike down any key people, should the need arise." Malaes vanished, and prepared to tear appart Nerai from the inside, while far away, in the wooded Elvandir, the Elves readied for war.

*Denise stood watching, she looked to Fenrai.. or so was he named, and to the girl sena who was following him, with a grin on her face she watched Alkartir's little magic trick.. she shook her head no, and looked to Fenrai*
"5 minuts.."
*She started to walk to Alkartir and sighed.. looking to him, speaking in plain language so she knew the plain people would hear her to*
"Alkartir.. no war.. not now, This city is still in the earliest stages.. its useless to kill these people, spill blood and make the plains even more babarion?.. Alkatir.. we got these.. kronderian people, already knocking off balance.. if you will do that to.."
*Denise sighed.. and looked to her*
"I have read alot Alkartir.. don't forget he prophecy of the darkest time, when all balance is not there anymore.. creatures of size and power nobody knows it will whipe off those kronderians, these plain people.. my kind, and even yours Alkartir.. and you know that very well.."
*She grinned abit, and moved outside the gate again not caring what Kinther would say*
"Do you want to be the one who made that happen Alktair..?"
*With a small grin on her face she looked to the kronderians, and just sticked out her tongue against there leader*

The strike of lighthning without any warning surprised and in the same time frightened the guards and the people inside the city. Most of them ducked down, hiding their heads... Yet the first shock lasted just several seconds.
"Its an attack! The Elves are attacking!" one of the archers on the wall just in front of Alkatir pointed on the elven prince. "Stop that one who fired! ...you dont here, close the gates! Alarm!"
The defenders of Nerai aimed and fired a volley of arrows against the elven company, not even caring what Alkatir said. He attacked their home - he will got reply. At the same time the wooden gates of Nerai started to close with cracking and the horns inside the city sounded, this time in another tone than before.
It was calling an army.
......................
Meanwhile Kinether and the army from Nerai was standing against krondorians (//and urgorians are here, i guess, to?).
"I see. I am Kinether, leader of Nerai... well I guess you know the name if you talked with Urgor." he frowned a bit for a moment after saying the name of north city. "I guess you know too that we are not much... friends with them. Thats the reason why my fellows went after you. ...and yes, the Gurai woman is in Nerai now, but I guess I cannot give her to you as I got my own questions to ask her. Anyway, what would you do with her, then?"
He stopped for a moment before continuing, thinking.
"About that decacy, I dont got anything against you to bury your men or eventually camp here for night... but I mean >you< and your men." he said with distress on "you" part. "Regarding what all Urgor men and its allies did to our allies, Im afraid I cannot let them go any close to the city. If they wish, they can gather their dead, but thats all. I... or if not I, then most of my men... wish that the people from Urgor and Gotar will depart this lands as soon as possible. Or... if they wish, they can give out their weapons and stay here."
He looked around the lines of Krondorians, searching for someone with Urgor armour...
"By the way, you named the place youre coming from as Krondor. Where is it and why did you come here? I-..."
The sound of horns from Nerai interrupted him.
"Wha-?" All the riders turned their heads back to their city. There was a black smoke rising from the burning house...
Kinether took a deep breath, not believing this. "What could cause... that?! Everyone, turn back! The city as calling for help!" he looked back on Draken-Korin before all the lines could start to move "See you later, I guess!"
"...is that the elves...?!"

He ducked down afraid of the lightning... and just when he looked around again, he saw Denise leaving.
"Hey! Stop that! What are you-" he run after her trying to avoind hitting people in panic around. Just in the time when she passed out the gates began to close... and closed, cutting him off from the "prisoner."
"Damn... hey- HEY!" he run up to the walls between the archers poking several of them aside, shouting on Alkatir.
"What you think you are doing!! Are you insane?! What happened to you!" he threw the weapons from Gurai on the floor of the wall and draw his own one. "The hell dont fire!" he grabbed on of the bows from the archers desparately, throwing it aside.
(//just to make sure understood it right... Alkatir is in front of the walls together with Denise and his elven company, Kinether and Belial´s men are far from here behind a forest... the rest is inside the city which got closed gates now//)

( Urgorians ain't with me, only Draken-Korin and 50 men)
* Draken frowned as he heared the horn blow. He looked to Kinether with a grin*
" Need some help?"

((Well, this is awkward. I though Denise was already in the city.))
"The Elves will not stand idly by as these fools decide to imprison, potentially even torture and murder, an ally of the Elves. As for you prophecies, the Elves only heed the real ones, the prophecies of the gods themselves." Alkartir turned towards Fenrai, as the first portals opened up, bringing in the Elves. ((Roughly three thousand are coming through at this moment, balance of everything. The rest will come shortly, mostly blademasters/sorcerers/wizards, as most of the rangers need to head to a town/outpost first.)) "I offered a chance for you humans to make peace with your brothers, yet you blatantly refused, and for it, the Elves will show their loyalty." Gesturing to the army that was now appearing, he continued. "I advise you see to it that your leader politely apologize for his rudeness to a lady, particularly one of noble birth, and then we may not need to siege your city. After all, Elves live so long, that waiting for you to run out of food feels like no more then a day would to you." Alkartir's face brimmed with furry, a perfect example of the wind-like nature of the Elves. Cool and calm one moment, aiding and giving life, yet the next furious and destructive.
A line of blademasters assembled defensive positions, as the rangers who had arrived pointed their arrows at any archer who still held a bow. There was an eerie silence around the elves, only broken by the crack of a portal opening to bring reinforcements.
By now, Malaes had entered the city, and all of the other White Blades had been portaled to the interior.

((this IS awkard, right... anyway I dont get how you dodged the arrows...??))
One of the archers nodded on Fenrai, watching the elven soldiers coming. They didnt shoot for now, it seemed his "speech" worked... or they got respect of the army.
"Hey, Fenrai, arent those ones the people who you brought here?"
He nodded without any word.
"Is that all you can say, right?!" he shouted on Alkatir half angrily, half desparately, seeing the soldiers coming through the portals. "You know, its funny to see you talking about frigging peace all the time and then start shooting and bring your army here, YAY! ...noble, noble... allrighty! Next time, we shall execute everyone from those... " he pointed on Denise "...ALLIES to make you happy?! Should we make it as you, so much... owh, so MUCH civilised elves? Torture and kill...or... rather besiege?! FINE!" he took the kaquon in his hand and threw it against Alkatir with full force, not caring where it will hit him.
He didnt wait for if it will return or not. Just sat down on the floor of the wall, looking into no where. The cry of people inside the city, trying to extinguish the fire... and the alarm horns, trying to muster that small garrison left inside the city. Are those out in here really the people that came with him?

"I guess if you want to sleep near the city, you got to fight for it... its the siege alarm!" with that he turned from Draken-Korin definetly and moved with the army back to Nerai.
"Kunrai, you get the right flank. Kenrai, Nixis and Reka are under your command. Irthis got the left flank, with Ie, Durai and that guy from Iwu, cant remember the name... I got the centre. Everyone under these have to obey you. Right? Now go." he talked to two generals on his side. Just after that the two riders with iron weapons rode aside to take command of their flanks and leaders of squads under them...
The army passed through the forest and saw the elven soldiers... soon after Kinether gave a sign for everyone to stop.
"Why that, we can go forward through them! Cant you see the smoke? The... army?!" one of the leaders in the flank under Kinether complained.
"I know, Kinrai. But I sence... the portals... the-" he hold his head. A vision overhelmeted his mind... the same as before. The attackers, siege of city... all the cry and death... for the first time he could recognise the city in the vision. Was it only his mistake or it seemed as Nerai...?!
"Are you allright?" he heard from aside of him.
"Almost..." he looked on the gathered army of elves. "Prepare for the worst. We are in their range now."
"Shouldnt we-..."
"If they want fight, theyll shoot. Then we will charge. And regarding that army and the portals... be ready."

Denise smirked abit, and grinned.. all this for a little noble, funny. with the grin on her face she calmly walked to Alktair and pointed to the wall
"You still own me a bow and Bone sword"
She moved some behind him, looking to the elven archers.. trying to fake the way the held there bows.. if this war could teach her more about arrows and and shooting.. then it would only be of help to her..

* Draken grinned and looked back to his guards. Elites among the heavy krondorian cavalry.*
" And boys? Want some action?"
* As respons they put their lances into the air and shout approving *
" For honour and glory!"
* With a smirk Draken looked now to Kinether*
" We'll take the room "
* Then they followed the army of Nerai through the woods but then turn north and disappear between the trees.*

Alkartir made a magical shield blocking the two projectiles, and then the silence of the Elven army was broken as wizards started to chant. A magical green wall of force appeared, surrounding the army.
"You know our conditions. The wizards will let you pass through the wall as a messenger to your leader, I advise you see to it that your leader comes to his senses. This army is only going to get larger." What he said was true, more Elves where still coming from the portals. A few of the wizards had located Al'tria and his troops, and opened a portal to them.

Fenrai didnt reply to Alkatir, he kept looking into the city. He could understand the messages the horns were saying... it was coming from all the directions around him... it was a "language" the others else than guards int he city and the riders couldnt understand.
"We see intruders in the streets! What shall we do!"
"Take their weapons. If they wont give them, attack!"
"The fire! Its spreading, we need more people in there!"
We met armed strangers in the streets! Attacking them!
Suddenly a horn of the commander of the archers next to him sounded. It said "Confirmed! Get them out from the city!"
The commander turned to him and spoke "You still think its a good idea to hold the fire on them? They are in the city already."
Fenrai shook his head and rose up to look over the walls down on the elven army. "I dont believe that. If they are in the city... why is Alkatir playing innocent here? That wall they created... I doubt we can shoot through it." He focused closer on the army... and noticed Sena in there!
"Wait, theres one of ours! Rewai, get the bows ready! If the barrier falls and the elves breaks the cease fire, shoot! We need to get her out of there in case the riders will... charge..." he sighted on the last words. He didnt trust Alkatir. Not anymore.
Yet he couldnt do anything from top of the walls...

The lines of riders were still waiting for the orders in some distance from the elves. They heard the callings from inside the city and most of them turned anxious, not understanding what is Kinther waiting for...
"Sir, you dont see!?" asked one of the generals.
"I see to much. But I dont understand it. The city says its under attack, but the army is standing in front of it without no visible hostile action except that fire... and the barrier... what is it?"
"You care about that! its under siege and we should-..."
"Ill go and negotiate." he interrupted him.
"What?!"
"It has no sence to attack without clear reason. Anyway, look at them... it would be massacre." he started to ride down slowly, toward the barrier.
"It is already! Dont you hear the city!!"
"I do. I will try my best. What is a price of one life..." he sighted "If I wont return, charge and kill them. You will have a reason, then." With that he rode forward to the elves, leaving the army behind him.
"Paerai, why are you letting this all to happen to us? Seems you dont care, right...?" he approached to Alkatir from the opposite side of the barrier.
"Come out, Alkatir! Or are you afraid without all your minions?"
