Just sparse light flashed through canopy of leaves to the path, Veldrin was following. Bushes and scrub covered the ground between giant trees and for a time short time, Veldrin had problems to continue further way.
Two hours has passed since he met the young girl in the rocky grasslands. Meeting Makenzi had let him think back to old times. For a moment he really felt set back to his childhood, talking and playing with friends... faces he'll never see again.
He looked for the feeling of being safe, that was the reason why Veldrin decided to walk the way back trough the forrest, hoping for a distraction in his minds.
The path dilated and soon Veldrin reached the beginning of a clearance. Sunbeams were reflecting from the gras growing there and a quiet ripple suggested a small font. Veldrin took of the hood of his cloak and kneeled to the ground and folded his hands to take a sip of the fresh and cold water. From the corner of his eyes he discovered a red cleam next to him. His hand slowly slided to his right leg and clasped the haft of a dagger. He turned around. No one was there. The red gleam came from a trail of blood in the gras and bushes, reflecting the sunlight. Veldrin's look moved around. Then he tried to listen... nothing. Suddenly he felt uncomfortable. When he has heard the last singing birds? He hasn't seen any sign of life for few minutes. Carefully and being alerted he dropped his sword from his back.

Kalas spreaded his wings as he broke out of the tight ceiling made out of green leaves and in the next second he turned around in an elegant rotation as he disappeared between the trees again. He was happy the he was finally alone again after the encounter on the rooftop.
Kalas closed his eyes and and felt the wind hitting his face and his right wing as he made another nose dive again. Just as he opened his eyes again he could notice a lake that made its way throught a clearance. and next to it he was sure so see a person's shape. But before he could take a closer look he already flew into the clover of the trees at the edge of the clearance.
He grabbed a branch and used his dash to rotate around it and finally sat onto it. Then he took a sharp look at the clearance and the person he had seen. "Well, well... what do we have here? Its not usually for somebody to come into the forrest this deep.."

What was that? The crack of a bough? Veldrin hold his sword in a defend position, protecting his face and chest, and tried to localise the source of the sound. He had the strange feeling of beeing watched... Step by step he made his way to the center of the cleaing, away from the blood on the ground, looking for any movements or signs of an arrival between the trees. Something was out there, he could feel it.

Kalas sat on the branch and watched the guy how he was slowly examining the area around him. "Hmm.. a nice sword he has there in his hands." Kalas let out with a smirk. "Maybe... I should play a little with him" he said grinning as he slowly reached to the sword on his lower back. Then he jumped out of the coverage of the tree, spread his wings and dived down towards the stranger on the clearance ready to slash.

Veldrin still focused the darkness between the trees and bushes in front of him. Suddenly he heard something behind him. He turned around as fast he could, raising his sword and being prepared for eveything. All happened in only a few subseconds. Veldrin couldn't see anything coming out of the trees. He noticed a movement from above. Without thinking he hoicked his sword about his head. While trying to jump sidewards the attacker hit Veldrin's sword. Veldrin let him fall down, trying to deflect the engaging object. Continiuing his move into a roll he jumped up, taking defend position to parry a new hit, holding his sword before chest and head and making as much distance between him and the attacker as possible. The Only thing he could discover in this subseconds was something big, falling down from sky, an now down on his level, with enlarged wings.

The swordwielding guy in front of Kalas quickly reacted. "Unexpected" he let out one second before their swords hit each other and Kalas' slash got deflected. With his remaining dash he flew past his enemy as he rolled on the ground below him. Then Kalas turned around with a rotation. Now that he could see his opponent gettin gback on his feet and holding his sword in a defense position, Kalas spread his wings to remain still in the air to face the guy in front of him. "Interesting move, I wasn`t sure if I was attacking you too harsh" he said with a grin.

"What creature is he?" Veldrin thought while jumping up again, preparing for the attacker's next move. Who or whatever this bastard was, he was playing with him. Veldrin could hear the mockery in his voice. But those wings. His opponent was in a better position because of his flying abilities... What next? Veldrin has seen winged, human like beings once before. Meek and gentle feminine creatures, living in the woods of the Kârle-Mountains in the southern provinces of his homelands. But this guy was not anything comparable with them.
This flying demon grinned. "Harsh?", Veldrin asked and grasped his dagger on his right leg suddenly and shot it against his enemy in a fluent motion, already charging forwards to start an hit upwards with his sword.

Kalas did not reply as he already saw the dagger flying towards him. He quickly avoided it with a rotation to the right side and than jumped upwards just in time to escape from the attackers sword which he didn`t notice at all. "Whoa! Not bad!" he said as he landed on the ground behind the guy lowering his sword. But not so much that it looks like he can not defend hisself anymore. "Okay, thats it for now." he said with a voice like he just stopped playing with an old friend. Then he asks with a smirk again while he doesn`t lessen his tight grip to the handle of his sword "What are you doing out here all alone?"

"He's fast" Veldrin thought, as he missed his flying opponent with his hit upwards. He hold his sword back about his head while turning around, exspecting another hit. But he could see the winged demon many foots away from him, holding his hand next to the handle of his sword and with a smirk Veldrin already knew.
"What does it look like?", Veldrin asked in a gruff way "Trying to enjoy silence and the peace of the woods." His own hands lead the sword to his right, the swords head on a level a person's
face could be. His leg muscles were tensed. "But why should a flying demon be interested in a lonely wanderer's motives?" From the corner of his eyes Veldrin noticed some rocks, next to the font. Maybe they would help to master the level difference, this guy could use to avoid his hits. Immediately his eyes focused the attacker again.

Kalas listened to the guys words and was playing with the handle of his sword. He thought it wouldn`t be necessary anymore to be that alert since he has some distance now.
"Demon?" he interrupted his opponent. "Come on... I don`t have a leather skin nor I am going to drink your blood... besides that.." he was waving a bit with his wings laughing "A demon would never have such nice wings like I do, don`t you think?"

"You shouldn't judge a book by its cover." Veldrin replied cold and started to, slowly, circuit the winged being, in way to the rocks he detected. "Malice and harm always show themselves in the most beautifull way, don't they?"
He tightened the grab on his sword. "But I better don't ask what you've done with my forerunner." He bended his head to lead his opponent's sight to the bloody puddle. But after one second he was focusing the enemy again.

Kalas looked at the guy in front of him and tilted his head "Well... I think theres quite a lot of truth in that sentence..... you don`t look that smart at all, you know that ?"
Then Kalas also noticed the puddle of blood on the ground next to his opponents feet. "Huh?" he looked quite suprised "Are you thinking I did that? I have to admit that I didn`t even recognize it until now...."

Veldrin advanced step by step. He lead his left hand up and with a movement he dropped the cape of his shoulders to avoid any possibilities that could restrict his movements the next seconds.
For a short moment sunbeams were reflected on the surface of Veldrins mechanical arm whose fingers closed the grip on the hilt of the sword again.
"Of course I think you did that." Veldrin answered his opponent's question. There were five meters left to the little collection of big rocks. With luck, he could reach the one meter high formation and use their benefit for a great jump to hit this flying bastard before he vanishes into the air.
"Being smart... like i told you before: never judge a book by its cover!"
Suddenly he picked a small ampulla from his belt and threw it against the enemy which exploded with a blinding light to cover his run he started.

"What-?"Kalas stopped in his movement and stared at the place where he had seen the guy with his sword one second ago. He wasn`t stunned be the fast attack, the truth was that he was waiting for it. Why would this guy leak him to the small amount of rocks next to him anyway if not to attack him? But he didn`t expect to see this guy having a mechanicle arm at all.
For a second Kalas was paralysed, not sure what to think and to do. "..that arm..". But he caught hisself pretty fast aware of the danger which was stricking close to him. So he quickly prepared for a fast jump to the front. Setting up his wings he unrolled over his back and landed at the same place where his opponent stood a few seconds ago.
Kalas turned around to focus at the spot where the one-armed should land, but before his eyes could recover from the flash so that he was able to see whats happening he fell on his left knee with a sharp pain in his leg. He got hit.

The winged demon was fast. He reacted immediately to Veldrin's action. But even though his fast reaction, Veldrin's plan to negate the opponents advantage to fly turned to account. He was sure he hit his enemy before he got out of reach.
Veldrin landed and turned around without spending a wink.
He was right. The winged one fell down on his knee. Veldrin jumped foreward. It was a long distance, but maybe he could make another hit, maybe even the final one, before the opponent would have recovered himself.
Veldrin's arm muscles tensed. Only 2 meters left. He raised his arms to hit.
"AAAAHHH"
Something big hit Veldrins right flank and threw him trough the air.
