Aleya grinned and said, "Ah, then you are the blessed one, I see." She said, not explaining herself and taking Nikoli's joking as a yes, crept up to the large group and she gasped slightly as she relized how many different races were there all at once.

"A gathering...of some sort?" She said, unsure. Why would so many races gather in one central place like that? Or were they fighting? On neutral land? Or was a war brewing to take the land? Aleya was unsure. "Should we reveal ourselves?"

Aleya's instincts pushed in though, from living for so long in the wild, and she turned abrutly and quickly, looking at Nikoli. "Are you trying to set me up for a trap, because you are really eager to get me out there alone." She said, a little too harshly. Well, if I was wrong, I can apoglize later. She told herself.

Tasniom flipped his scimitar before he smiled sadistically again and said, "Poor hopeless little dwarf. I've slain dozens of little midgets. They went to their deaths with such little dignity. Hopefully you won't be the same...hopefully you'll actually go to your death with some honour."

Aleya raised an eyebrow and then listened to Tasmion talk to the dwarf in a challedge. She almost laughed and then looked at Nikoli. "Then I apogolize, my good sir, but I was trying to look out for myself....like I have my entire life. Maybe one day, I will get to share my story with you."

Then, Aleya stepped out of the shadows, still in her human form, her longsword at her side and a smirk on her face, her eyes glowing and the wind causing her hair to blow in her face. "Honour? And what does a Lezmar knowabout honour?" She said, coming up to the left of Tasmion.

Tasnoim wheeled towards the newcomer, a shapeshifter, and replied curtly, "Because that's what we live by, stranger. All our lives, we try to live as virtuous as we are able. Though we have fallen in that respect."

Aleya took no notice nor any glance at the Dwarf and keep her eyes firmly on the Lezmar. She snorted and said, "You are also natorious liars, I'd bet, the way you speak now." She put her sword up on her shoulder and then sheathed it. "I mean niether of you harm. I just want to know why so many races gather here at once, and that before you taught the Dwarf a lesson about something you yourself no nothing about, that I would ask you." She smiled sweetly, but with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Oh and you know about it?" Tasniom asked politely yet sarcastically. "Oh do enlighten me, then. And as for the first question, I do not know. But I'll be happy to sit down and have a nice little talk once you manage to convince my opponent to do the same." Shapeshifters, he thought bitterly. What did they know about honour? Attacking the borders, not as frequent as the dwarves, but enough to vex the Defenders.

Estelle flew in silence by Rylin's side along the path. Hearing raised voices up ahead, she flew ahead, knowing that the pair were close. Shrouding herself among the foliage she peaked through the leaves to observe the gathered races.

Catching up not long after, Rylin positioned himself behind a pretty large tree - one large enough to hide him from view with its trunk - then carefully stuck his head around in an attempt to see what was going on in the clearing..aside from a lot of arguing, suspicion and heated words.

"I do, actually." She said, raising her eyebrow. This man knew nothing about what she had gone through to be able to take a breath the next morning, nothing about sacarfice, about honour, about love...well, she didn't know about about love either, once she thought about it. Aleya stopped her thoughts and looked back at him and nodded saying, "A Dwarf shouldn't be hard to convince...especially if it values it's life." She smiled again, now finally turning towards the Dwarf.

The dwarf looked from the Lezmar to the Shapeshifter and back as they talked about Honour. What a thing to talk about at such a time! The fight had not been about honor, but to settle the dispute between dwarves and Lezmar, as Grageon saw it.
"Any race that cares for it's life can be convinced otherwise. Sometimes I think the dispute between races is useless. And honour! Humph! Dieing in battle knowing much of the enemy has been taken down is enough for a dwarf to die with honour. Softy races can't take a real fight. Stealth instead of steel you use," he mumbled in his rough voice, not lowering his great war hammer. Yet he still eyed the Lezmar's scimitar through the corner of his eye.
"And what business does a shapeshifter have here? Why, I was just minding my business here, drinking some water when next thing I know enemies are upon me!"

(just to jog everyone's memory, we are by a lake! lol!)

Tasniom put away his battle axe but left his scimitar out. He mentally rolled his eyes at the dwarf's comment. Settling the dispute, who did he think he was? And softy races? The high cold mountain air must clearly make people insane. That would explain an awful lot.

"To be honest, I have no idea why I am here," he said. "I was told that I must come here for I would hear some information regarding my country and my race. I wonder if this was a ploy to kill me...."
