Elanor stood, her back against a tree, her mind turned away from her body. Her hand was clutched in a vice like grip around her staff, which glowed softly.
A small tendril of the witches mind reached out, oblivious of the chaos happening around her, searching for the wargs.
pain...anger...must fight... Elanor searched through the normal feelings of the creatures, pushing aside the simple predator instincts. She was almost about to give up when a simple word stopped her as she was leaving the mind of the apparent leader.
fear
Elanor froze. This was not an instinct you should find in a mind as wild as a wargs, and it set off alarm bells in her head. Carefully, she went a little deeper...
Magic...follow the magic...bring them to the magic...
Elanors mind flicked back in shock as she heard these words. Bulvard was holding her protectively to his chest, one hand brandishing a sword. Behind him, a stranger flourishing a serated blade was peering over the warriors shoulder.
"Who is this woman....why does he look at her like that...silver eyes like that cannot be natural... The strangers first few suspicious thoughts floated from his alert, curious head into Elanors mind. Even faced with this puzzling flash of events, the witch couldnt be surprised after what she had felt in the wargs mind.
"The wargs!" She gasped. "They are lead by magic. They are bringing us to the source of it. They...they are afraid!"
Bulvards face changed from the almost peaceful expression he had had when watching her to horrified alertness. Elwyn appeared at the strangers shoulder, equally horrified.
"So that is why they havent openly rushed us yet-" She paused and held up a hand. After a second Elanors refreshed senses picked up what the elf had. Footsteps. The chink of some sort of weapon. Rustling of nets. The ring of wargs eyes that surrounded the group was joined by other eyes. Whirling around, the witch flung out her hand gripping the staff, a spell forming on her lips, but she was cut short by a yell from the outsiders. A net was thrown in her direction, covering and tangling her limbs- and her staff. She saw Elwyn go down under the same net before something knocked the back of her head, and darkness fell around her...
