Setana quickly followed her, eyeing the elf angirly. Mendreta defiantly followed them, something burned behind the elf's eyes. Setana looked away from them as she ran after Markel. What was bothering her? Or what was wrong with her father? The fact she was wanted? No time to think about it. She slipped the book back into her cloak. Mendreta came up beside her. "What would you do, with the knowlegde in there Setana? What can you do? Break the spell shielding you, I doubt it." her voice held a dark feriocity. Setana gritted her teeth. "It will be useful to my people, and probably have a better use than what you will do with it!' she sped up though she really didn't have to, as Mendreta had stopped walking when she had spoken.

Markel continued to run, with surprising speed, she made it halfway to the river and stopped when they were on the outskirts of town, she panted. "His stench lingers, but it isnt as strong and here it is stale." Markel nodded, then sat down. "Long version of my story? Or short? Then we can continue with the book for a while."
A large man with greasy blonde hair and dirty brown boots approached an Elf in a park in Vendrafaul. He tapped her shoulder and smiled, crooked yellowing teeth could be seen as he did this, "Hello." He said to the Elf.

Setana let Mendreta fall behind, glad she was gone. She ran after Markel, matching her speed easily, and she sat across from her when she sat. She frowned, "Short I suppose. Shouldn't waste anytime."
It took Mendreta a moment to realize someone had spoken to her, she turned to him. "Oh, hello."

"I saw you with two others, they seemed to anger you. One of them seemed ....rather familiar to me." Said the man, "Oh, I'm Armitar." He added, seemingly to forget, then he held out his hand to the Elf.

Mendreta shook his hamd briefly then put her hand back down by her side. "Yes, they have something I whish to see." she was curious as to who the man thought familiar, and she didn't care she hadn't told him her name. It was best not many should know...
Seana waited for Markel to start her story.

Armitar smiled, "The woman with the shorter hair, I believe she is my daughter, and I do believe I could help you retreave that something she has." He had a lingering nastyness to him.
Markel took a deep breath, "Years ago my father was king of a small kingdom, but when my mother left and a battle lost, the kingdom dried up and everything magnificent about it was gone. My father... without my mother... simply put, raped me, so by the age of twelve I ran away, he looked for me for years, up until two years ago. But when he'd finally excepted failure, he gave up. But, apparently the Wanted signs have ...built a new path for my father." When Markel had finished she scratched the back of her neck unneasily.

"Um.." Mendreta didn't like the man, or was she building up a dislike for humans in general?
Setana listened to the story quielty. the ending pulled no reaction from her. "That suks, how waas life before your mom left?" she was much more interested in the behavior of parents.. Or were they all ugly crap sacks?

Markel sighed, not with sadness, but with a pleasant memory, "It was wonderful, but I could tell my father was never a happy man, nor a nice one, but my mother loved him all the same. My mother was a wonderful woman, beautiful too. She left my father because he had lost everything and ...my mother wasn't as wonderful as I'd thought she was because she just up and left me with him." She nodded, "But then it just rotted and went to Hell after that wretched evil woman left me with her double."
Armitar rose an eyebrow, "If you could just give me a point in which way they went?" He asked to The Elf.

Setana wrapped her arms around her knees. "It still must have been good all the same. I don't know my parents'... don't want to really. But sometimes..." she rested her forhead on her knees, not wanting ot finish her sentence.
Mendeta paused, should she tell him? She decided to do so, and did. But she resolved to follow him.

Markel sighed, "My mother didn't just leave my father because he'd lost his wealth and kingdom, but also because he was cheating on her." Markel sighed, "Knowing your parents...sometimes is the worst." Markel added, slightly growling at the river. Then, Markel stood, "We've got to go, we cant go any other way but cross the river, because I cant tell which way the stench is coming from." Markel bolted for the river.

Setana slowly stood, but she ran after Markel just as fast as she moved. She hoped the book would survive the water... as well as her dyed hair.

As soon as Markel had dove into the water she saw him, fatter and uglier than ever. She began to swim, but the river's current pushed her back and wouldn't let her.

Setana caught a vague glimpse o the man behind them, but she didn't turn to stare. She dove into the water, and pushed Markel forward as the current seeme to go agaisnt them. She went under the water as Markel's body hit her with the currents strength. She surfaced, the black dye had washed out of her hair imediatly, even in the darkness the bright red color plainly visible. "Fight the current!" she cried.

Markel tried, but the current rushed at her with such force, she could see even Setana was having a terrible time. She finally gave up and let the water force her to the rock-sandy land. There, her father grabbed her and shouted, "Finally!"

Setana fought agaisnt the current, she wasn't go to give up like Markel. She dove underwater, trying to get an advantage, she did. She made it past the worst of the current, and resurfaced. Any trace of the black her red hair had been dyed to was gone, she shouted to the shore. "Do you think I give up? I'm coming back for her!" her yellow eyes glinted with defiance.
