[ No waiting in the world of AU I s'pose. ]

[font=Arial, sans-serif] Celeste nodded, keeping her optics fixed on him. " Yes, I have heard of you, and I'd have to ask you to not call me 'dear.' Disconcerting as you can halfly imagine, my undead acquiantence..As for you, Elf.. I am letting you go." She smirked lightly, " I'm letting all of you go and unharmed. I shall also have to ask you to not insult my intelligence, Elf. It's quite obvious what you're doing." She tossed the spear back to Syrin, and looked over at the female demon.

" As I'm sure you know, Armansul. I respect all form of creatures, even some such as this.." She gestured absently to the demon. " I will let you have her, though she rightfully isn't mine to give to anyone. 'Tis her own choice. However I must advise -you-..to keep her on a leash if you take her, and to not threaten me again." Her voice was terse.

Vharia smiled up at the arrivals. Smirk would have been the better word.

"What do you plan for me, centaur?"

[font=Arial, sans-serif] She looked down at the demon, suddenly aware that she hadn't been talking for a while, and suddenly startled when she did so. " You're asking the wrong person, Demon. I'd ask your new friend here." She nodded at Arman, and turned to the rest of the centaurs.

" Let's go."

There were a total of five captives, not a lot surprisingly, but a fair amount for those who didn't know about the woods. The total number was knocked down to four as Celeste cut the rope with a special blade, unbinding the Demon to Armansul. The rest of the centaurs gathered the rest of the captives, and lined them up gently, but forceful nonetheless, with the Elf in the back of the line. The other captives were mortal men, a group of peddlers to be exact.

Celeste waited momentarily for them to move ahead of her, her eyes now resting reproachfully on Arman.

" I should also like to see less of you. " [/font]

[ By the way, I probably won't be online very much longer tonight, so if isn't to much to ask, I'd appreciate it if you don't leave me in the dust. x_x ]

Rhan's eyes flashed up angrily at being bound at the back of the line. She held her head high, and snapped at any of the centaurs if they came near her. The elf searched her mind for the correct spell to break the bindings, but it evaded her. Angrily she wrenched her hands, .

Arman shrugged.

"It is not up to me nor you, but we will meet again is it`s to be our fate.."

Arman grabbed the chain and quickly read a small spell to secure it that his captive would try to escape, if she would there would be a little punishment reserved for her. He pulled the demon to follow.

"Come along then Succubus I have uses for you..."

[font=Arial, sans-serif] " We'll see," She chided calmly.

Celeste turned and followed in the back of the line, right behind the Elf. Sighing, she looked down at her.

" Why do you fight it so much? We're taking you out of here, perhaps faster than you'd get out of here escaping."[/font]

"I wouldnt be so sure." Rhan snapped "Give me ten minutes, and watch me disappear." she snarled angrily. With her mind she called out to her dragon, and felt him take of quickly.

Vharia struggled at first but soon found it to be futile. She tested her innate magical abilities against those of the centaurs. She managed to loosen the chain a little but reserved the rest for later. She glared at the centaurs, especially at the female who had bound her. But when she looked at Arman again she was all smiles.

"And what may those uses be?" She allowed a pout to creep into her husky voice.

Arman quickly looked at her blankly and continued walking towards the mountains.

"Just some projects I might need your knowledge of the demon world..."

Arman had missed the seduction completely. Vharia sighed. Liches were not as easy to manipulate as humans.

"Ask away then," she said casually.

Arman suddenly stopped and turned around beginning to cast a spell, after a moment a lightning bolt springed out of his hand towards Vharia.

"You just don`t get it..."

He mumbled to himself.

Her innate demonic abilities offered resistance against the elements. A lightning bolt aimed at her chest would no doubt pain her, however. She let out a primal hiss and slid sideways.

Laughing for no other reason than to confuse him, she mocked, "Has the centaur chit given you permission to kill me yet?"

"Mock all you want succubus, but you forget that I am the master and you are the puppet..."

Arman said and suddenly began almost running trough the woods towards the mountains.

[font=Arial, sans-serif] Celeste jerked the Elf from the back of the line, pushing her forcefully against the base of a tree. She bent forward and down some, seeing as she was much taller than the Elf, and held her there by her throat in one hand. Eyes narrowed threateningly, her voice lowed to a growling whisper.

" Listen up, child. You're obviously of the younger kind, for I see no wisedom in you. Ten minutes you say? I could kill you in less than a second; your dragon friend would be wasting a trip. You think I'm stupid, don't you? Well the feeling's mutual. Your manners would have you slaughtered in the hands of a less merciful centaur, not including any other creature in this forest I protect from witless arrogant people like you. I'll have you thrown out of this forest unscathed or dead, the choice is yours."

[/font]

The elf stared into the eyes of the centaur, yet said nothing. At length she gave little laugh "Why not let me free here? It is not my fault I am younger than most of my kin, but I mean no harm."

Vharia snarled in none too pleasant humor as she was jerked along with him.

"What in all that is cursed are you doing, lich?"
