... cut your cheek open sending drips of blood on the forest ground. "Your a hard man to kill knight. Even so I will kill you." Johnny said as he slinked down from the branch. "Not tonight though once I have my men here you won't live for long. So enjoy your brief time in this reality for it won't be long." As a huge gust of wind blew threw the forest both Johnny and Bunkosh disappeared into a purple mist that enveloped the both of them and left the air heavy with magic. Eve jumps down from the tree as you pull her along before they come back. Once you reach the camp you pour purification salt around the camp and bless it. "Them thugs were hexted did you know about there condition?" You ask Eve as you start a fire to cook the boar meat you have. "No. I didn't know about them being hexted. The first hexted human I saw was back near the Orintash tribe a beautiful woman. At least she was until the hex took hold then she became this tentacle monstrosity. She was a slave like me but human so the tribe didn't buy her freedom. We became friends during our travels from my old tribe to the Midlands. I still kept in touch with her in the market place.

Eve asked while staring at the meat whose aroma was making her stomach growl. "I learned some magic from an elf friend back before I was a knight. Oddef he was a elf shaman who was working for King Felton saving lives when he could on the battlefield. He taught me magic that was ''useful'' by his standards." You offer Eve some meat and both of you start to eat delighted at the juicy food. "Oddef that's a strange name for a elf." Eve said with her mouthful of meat. "Its what I called him short for his real elf name I think it was odd..oddefintinas corpamith something or other." You say and start to wonder if Eve is her real name at all. Elves are known to have strange and long names. "Oh ok yeah I get it just how my name is Altonishka dal Valonstasha Eppention or child of the disappearing evening Eve for short." You smile and can't help but find Eve to be attractive in the star light. "Don't get any ideas." Eve said almost as if she could read your mind. "I don't know what you mean ...
