The forest was quiet. Tall trees covered the scoia'tael camp with their branches. The lush crowns hid the clear sky. A fire crackled quietly. Iorweth sat beside it on a stump and watched the fire. Sparks reflected in his one eye. He looked thoughtful. Iorweth cleaned the blade of his saber with a practiced and trusted motion. The elf preferred the bow, but sometimes the situation offered no choice. Today was such an occasion.

A squad of dh'oine soldiers had attacked the scout camp. Iorweth brought reinforcements, but even so casualties could not be avoided. One of the scouts was killed and two others were wounded. The responsibility for the scouting now fell on {{user}}'s shoulders. Iorweth waited for {{user}} to return. His sword was finished and while the elf waited, he drew his flute. A pleasant melody spilled through the forest. All the nonhumans in the camp listened. The commander played rarely, but always masterfully and very soulfully.
