He looked around for a second and seeing fresh bodies and feeling warm ashes he loaded his crossbow and spurred his horse.Minutes further he suddenly halted his horse. He saw it but he didn't believe and understand what he saw. It was mid summer and he was looking at ice. And not just a bit, parts of the forest and large parts of trees frozen here and there. He clenched a firm graps around his crossbow and checked his bolt. "Some powerfull magic is used here.... I must be alert. You never know what these drow have in store for us next, I must stay sharp!"He entered the part of the forest which was altered and as he made his way up the road he reached a clearing where several drow bodies lay, some frozen as statues with strange expressions of fright and panic on their faces seemingly trying to escape from something. And then he noticed dozens of fighters at edge of the clearing, frozen in ice. Some trying to crawl away, others caught in a charge. Shattered limbs lay everywhere and the wind sounded eery and hollow as it blew its midsummer breez through the icy warriors. He had found and caught up with his warband of drow that were terrorising the forest edge at last."What the #@!%@%..."While looking at the ghostly display his horse started to sound nervous and he turned around and pulled his crossbow from his side into fireing position while he turned. Only to see a single person sitting on top of a rock staring at him from under his hooded cloack.He lowered his crossbow and looked wonderingly at this person. He pulled his sword and approached the person carefully. When within 30 feet the person threw back his hood and flung back his cloack. beneath was a young elven male without any armor or weapons who looked at our adventurer with rain drops roling over his face with a certain... interest."Greetings young elf," the man said as he threw back his hood as well. The elf looked interested and the young human features revealed from beneath the hood, "what happened here?"The elf stood up and had a long look at the humand before he cracked a smile."So they sent a human, expectable these days", the elf said, "go on your way, there are more out there then these, if you want to save your outposts you will have to hurry and be speedy like the wind blowing today through the forest."The human looked surprised at how the elf knew what he was doing but before he could speak the young elf disappeared. The human now wondering at this strange person sheathed his sword, mounted his horse and drew his crossbow once again. Now riding off into the sunset the rain started to stop and the sky seemed to clear.</blockquote>
