Saphire backed up until she was leaning on the rainling.
"No, I'm not aiming to kill myself. I made a promise, and I plan on fulfilling that promise before I die." she said, fear in her voice. Her hand went to the hilt of her sword like a reflex...

Blayge eyes went from the girl to the vampire, girl, vampire, girl, vampire, and back to the girl. Stifling a laugh, he wondered how many more crazy vagabonds were on this wrecked boat.

Without warning, he laughed out loud again. He did always laugh at the most inoppurtune moments.

The air swirled in around him, pounding on his skin, beggin with him, pleading to be taken inside.

No, he thought, I mustn't take to much in... I musn't burn myself up as others have done. he ignored it, only taking little bits of heat in, and holding them in that empty space.

"Whats so funny this time?" Saphire snapped at the gnome. "In my perspective, nothings funny... and nothing has been for years!"

"My lord," whispered a Death Bringer who had approached Eran as he looked out from the walls
"What?"
"We've captured some more recruits. They seemed willing to join, seeing as they were surrendering themselves to us."
"Send them to the throne room."
"Yes, sir."
Usually new recruits were captured from neighboring villages or cities on both sides. Most of them were political prisoners and heretics that were imprisoned for their ideas. Upon capture, they were led blindfolded towards his citadel where Eran would then induce a spell onto their minds, modifying it, making the master of that mind loyal to Eran. Then they were subject to ten months of grueling training in every art of the assassin. Many die in the training. The survivors become a Death Bringer.
Eran entered his throne room and watched as two elves were led to him by two Death Bringers. "Leave us," he commanded to the Death Bringers. They bowed and walked off. Eran then removed his glove from his right hand and placed it over one of the elves's head. He muttered several sentences before lifting his hand and repeating the process on the other. Once that was completed, he stepped back and said, "You are here because you want to be a part of the Death Bringers. I will tell you it is not easy and you may die. Are you ready to begin?"
The two elves nodded, which seemed to satisfy Eran. "Good," he said. He then called for the two Death Bringers and said to them, "Allow them to rest for today. Tomorrow, we begin their training."
The two Death Bringers nodded and escorted the two recruits off.

I was cured all right.

"Yeah, I can tell." he raised his eyebrows, as he felt the fire singe him inside. He needed to let it out. Soon.

"Anways, who says people *have* to laugh because of amusement? I may be laughing in pain for all you know."

Drizzt eyed the girl
"That doesn't mean i won't kill you..." he said darkly
then he turned to the gnome
"SHUT UP or i WILL shut you up...."
then his eyes shifted back to the girl..

He head to let the fire out, he had to let the fire out, he had to... it tickled and quivered in his throat, and he looked about frantically for somewhere to release it.

Suddenly he heard the vampires comment, and wrinkled up his nose in disgust. With a quick breath, he let the fire out, putting it on the vampire, and watching the burst of flame, smiling to himself.

"You have no reason to kill me... my blood probably tastes sour anyway!" Saphire said, her grip on her sword tightening.
I with this magic would start working again... she thought to herself It picks the worste times not to work...

She went wide eyed when the gnome breathed fire onto the vampire.
"That would be a reason to jump into the water," she mumbled...

(i don't understand.. what did the gnome do to me?? *_* )

(haha okay thanx...)

Drizzt quickly took off his glove and his hand engulfed the flame. he grinned at the gnome..
"Nice try.. but no..."
he turned back to the girl
"How would i know that your blood is sour if i haven't tasted it for myself?? eh girl??"

"Because it's been poisoned with evil magic that the Gorges torturers put in me." she said, hatred and discused in her voice. Saphire looked away, hiding a tear, and thats when she became awar of the smell of blood that was on her, and the blood stain in her hair...

The vampire laughed..
"Tortured you eh?" he took a stepped closer and closer until he could smell the blood all over her. He licked off the blood on a strand of her hair and grinned at her. Drizzt had to admit.. this gnome and girl were very fun to play with...

Saphire couldn't take it anymore. She unsheethed her sword and cut Drizzt in the same movement. Quickly she resheethed her sword, and jumped, but there was no splash becasue she had landed in a lowered life boat...

The gnome held his ground steadily.

Well, there went the girl.

He took in the fire carefully around him... just in case he needed it. Stupid vampire, how'd he got aboard this rig? he thought.

Maybe he'll go after the girl. he hoped.

And his quick eyes looked about for someone, anyone to distract him with.
