Earth and Shadow (read desc)

Border Patrol

How is Nightmare so powerful??
He saved my life with the monsters, then he saved my homeland, and NOW he fought a bunch of poachers and slavers like it was nothing!
He's amazing.
I probably could have taken on the fire elves myself, but, well, I didn't have to.
He did it before I could, and kept me behind him. It kind of annoyed me to be honest, I didn't really like being treated like I was defenseless, but I couldn't exactly say anything. I didn't want to make him upset after all he did for me.
Besides, he looked badass while he fought.
Suddenly a female fire elf came out of the woods. before he could react, she put the tip of her spear against his back. it was made purely out of fire. She said,
"Lower your weapon and I won't hurt you."
He growled, but then his glare turned into a smirk. His scythe disappeared and he turned to look at her.
"You have a lot of guts to threaten me, elf. So what are you going to do?" He gently moved me behind him with a wing, so she couldn't attack me. I blushed a bit.
She narrowed her eyes at us.
"What are you doing in our territory."
"We just came to visit, that's all. Word probably hasn't gotten out yet but your leader, as well as the others, have agreed to lower your borders in an attempt to make peace."
Her spear vanished. She looked down, thinking.
"I see... I'll tell the others..."
"Good. Also tell them that if they attack me or Rain again I won't hesitate to use killing blows. I hope I've made myself clear." He narrowed his eyes slightly at her. He seemed dead serious, and if I knew anything he didn't make his threats lightly.
She nodded.
"You have my word."
And like that, she vanished into ash.
"Well, that was easy. You alright little Rain?" he looked at me. I nodded.
"Yeah I think so."
"Good, I hope I didn't scare you."
I smiled and shook my head.
"Nope!"
He smiled back, and I loved the sight.
"That's a relief."
"You can never scare me, I've seen too much to be scared."
He smiled and ruffled my hair.
"Well then I guess that makes two of us."
I smiled back. After a moment he looked around us, thinking.
"I think it might be best if we stay out of these territories until the word gets out about the lowered borders. I don't want anyone to assume just because a 'fallen angel' and a earth elf are visiting that they can attack us."
I giggled.
"How about I show you my home?"
"I would like that. But, well, maybe its best if you make the portal this time."
"Mhm!" I made the portal, and when I was finished I stepped through it. Nightmare followed behind me.
I wonder what he thinks of my land?
