Careful your highness, you might chip a nail (Duchy&Chaos)

[TheDuchess]

The wind blew through the open night air rustling the beautiful blue hued leaves, illuminated in moon light were white horses that walked quietly through the forest, armed men rode all around a lone blue hooded figure, white curly tousled hair fell out of the hood and fell down to the saddle, beautiful white hands held the reigns of the horse gently, the only sound to be heard was the soft thuds of the horse's hooves, the armed elf next to her leaned over and whispered softly " Lady Charis we are coming upon the check point, your brother should be there waiting" her head turned slightly to show her flawless pale cheek and her puckered rose lips and smiled slightly nodding her head slightly and moving her bright blue eyes towards the woods, she stared for a moment before she turned back around and breathed softly.

Her father made her take this trip, there had been conflict between the wood elves and the high elves and there had been threats coming to the castle that worried her father or so she was told by her lady in waiting. The was no predicting on what would happen that night on the pathway.

The skies were overcast with dark, brooding clouds as the caravan made it's way along the winding forest roads, but there was more than a storm gathering within it's bounds. The caravan of elves had not gone unnoticed by some of the more malicious of the forest's denizens, and even now as they crested a small ridge that should bring them in sight of the next checkpoint, the lizardmen prepared their ambush. Brutish, hulking creatures with base cunning and intellect, driven only by predatory instincts, they were fearsome creatures. Armed with crude axes, spears and clubs, their green scales provided the perfect camouflage against the leafy foliage, even to the keenly trained senses of the elven guards, and just as the front of the entourage reached the crest of the hill, a pit opened up beneath the foremost riders, causing them to be thrown from their steeds as the lizardmen burst from hiding and set upon them with hisses and snarls of hate.

 

[TheDuchess]

Her head jerked up as the front of her esscort's were now thrown from their horses and fell into what seemed like a hole, her horse reared up and she pulled to try and control it, she turned her horse the other way to see them coming in from behind and all sides, she looked around and glared slightly at the lizard men and ran forward with two others that were at her side, she jumped clean over the men but froze when she heard a cry of pain from the horse under her, she let go and went tumbling forward, she rolled a bit to the side and grunted slightly, she opened her eyes to see her horse with a spear sticking clean out of him, she bit her lips slightly and looked around seeing her caravan being slaughtered before her very eyes, she slowly got up and took off into the forest to try and escape the lizard men before she ran hard into something thick, she fell back on her back and caught her breath before looking up to see a rather large lizard man, she went wide eyed and started to moved back and get up to run away.

The scaled warrior had no intention of letting her escape however and as she began to stand he dropped his club in favor of his claws, gripping at the back of her dress and using his obscene strength to pull her backwards towards him. As the lizarmen teemed around her guards, they were soon surrounded and dispatched by the savage creatures, and more and more attention was turned towards Lady Charis, as more lizardmen began to surround her, brandishing their crude weapons to cut off any escape attempt, tails beating the ground with an ominous thrum. The creatures did not roar or bellow, but rather hissed and growled low in their chests, and Charis's initial captor gnashed his teeth from behind her, as his powerful, clawed hands gripped and strove to subdue her struggling.

 

[TheDuchess]

Her hood had flown off in her attempt of struggle but found the lizard man claws digging horribly into her arms, she grunted slightly as they all surrounded her and her captor, her icy blue eyes swivled around looking at all of them letting her white hair fall around her face, she glared at them all and spoke at all of them, mainly at her captor" what do you want with me?" she said trying her jerk her arms away from him so she could stand " and un hand me i can't go anywhere with all of you surrounding me" she said and freed her arms and stood erect and turned to look at all of them.

 

[Chaoslord29]

The lizardmen seemed to pay no heed at all to her words, instead they merely moved in closer, encircling her in a ring of burly, scaled bodies gesturing with weapons as they hissed and growled. One of the lizardmen stepped forward, skulls of slain foes and various scars marking him as a leader of their party. Setting aside his own weapons he advanced on her, drawing himself up to a full height of seven and a half feet, a pillar of rough, scaled menace over the delicately adorned lily that was Lady Charis." He cocked his head, dark eyes peering out at her with cold, base cunning before his hand shot out to shove her in the shoulder, pushing her back and down onto the ground, into the muddy tracks of the road which splattered her dress.

 

[TheDuchess]

Her white glow seemed to dull down slightly once the mud hit her dress, she grunted slightly once her butt hit the ground, her head turned up before her eyes flashed white then back to blue, if her spell took affect he would feel a slight numbness in his feet, and if it continued to work the numbness would slowly work over his body and eventully his insides would turn black, kind of like frost bite and would slowly die, but this process took a day to work so she would wait it out, the high elves each had a different skill, hers was ice, her mother earth, her brother water and so forth, she stood up slowly and looked down at her dress before turning her eyes up at him " oh you think your so big and bad you like to push others smaller than you around" she was bold and since she was royal she was used to speaking her mind and and nobody to say or do anything to her, she reached up and probably signed her death warrent by poking the leader in the stoamch, and when she poked him he would fell a cold touch and around the area she poked ice crystals would form around it, and this was only because she was angry.

 

[Chaoslord29]

The lizardmen felt no real change at her spell, resistant to aspects of cold thanks to their natural magical resistance and by virtue of their own cold blood. When she proceeded to poke the leader in the stomach, before she could retract her hand, his own scaly, clawed hand grabbed her by the wrist, wrenching her arm and lifting her into the air only by her one limb till her feet dangled from the ground. The creature brought her face close to his, hissing loudly and gnashing it's sharp, arrowhead teeth, and causing her to feel a spray of spit, before it hurled her to the ground. Quickly, two of the creatures stepped forward and grabbed her by the dress, beginning to tear and shred at the material as the leader bent over, and grabbed up a fistful of her white hair, twisting it cruelly in it's grasp as it's forked tongue licked out too close to her cheek for comfort.

 

[TheDuchess]

She gasped softly and landed on the ground, she kicked and squirmed at the lizardmen grabbing a ripping her dress to show off her long lean legs with one long white tattoo running up the sides of her legs and if the dress was ripped further it would wrap under her belly button and move up to grace the sides of her breasts, only one royal was chosen to have this tattoo every 100 years, her grandfather before her had one like it but a bit more masculen looking, she kicked her boot covered foot up hooking one of the lizard men in the jaw before she cried out when the leader grabed a handful of her hair, she gripping his arm with her hand and moved her head away from his long tongue, oh he had horrible breath and it made her just sick to her stomach to smell it, she coughed softly and got this nasty look on her face.
