"Fira"

The young Druid woke up with a cough trying to get the water out of her lungs, as her eyes adjusted to the light she noticed Wil standing over her with a look of worry etched across his features. A sigh made its way out of his mouth

"Thank goodness you're okay," he said a helped her up, "We have to find Amberle and Eritrea." the duo made their way inland

"Eritrea!" Wil yelled

"Wil, look." The boy turned his gaze to the rock that Fira was pointing at it as covered in blood

"Let's hurry." He said as he look her and continued to hastily look for his friends, they hadn't made it far before the heard a yell and before she could speak Fira had the air knocked out of her lungs as she was tackled to the ground.

Wil quickly pushed her assailant off" Whoa, what are you doing?" He said with his arms around Fira's waist in a protective manner, he quickly let go though as the young male came at him again but , Wil quickly dogged his attacks resulting in the assailant  finding his way back to the ground.

"Come on man, you're hurting yourself." Before he could continue the assailant swept him of his feet and was quickly over him with a rock in his hand

"Hold on, why we just calm down, come on don't put the rock down." Fira said calmly with her hand outstretched to the young male

"You guys are one of them, aren't you?" The man said with panic in his voice

"One of who?" Fira said as she gingerly approached him

"The Elf hunters that took my ear!" His tone had quickly changed from panic to anger

"Oh no, it's okay look I'm half elf." Wil said as he pushed his hair behind his ears

The assailant slowly put the rock down and Fira helped them both up

"This will stop the bleeding." Wil said as he gently placed the herbs on the young elf's wound

"Wow it feels good ... real good."

"This particular combo is also good for recreational use, "Wil said "Tell me more about these hunters."

"Umm, they're human, hate elves, they hunt is down and harvest our ears."

"Harvest them, harvest them for what?" Fira asked

"Gnomes, they think elves ears have some sort of medicinal properties, by this time next week my left ear will be ground up in some horny Gnome's tea."

"We're traveling with two other friends and I'm worried that these hunters might have snatched them." Fira shared

The young elf sighed "Any of your friends and elf," Fira and Wil slowly nodded "Then you should be worried."
