Fredrick smiled at that.

"From whoever may harm him." Fredrick answered diplomatically. Although there was probably more to it, it appeared Fredrick didn't want to say anything in Lord Valin's presence.

Alecos watched the two go.

"We'll need to follow her." The mage said.

Creighton turned to look at him. "What?"

"Come on, let's-"

The door in the back of the room swung open. The Hand that Kan and Vin had just spoken to stepped out, blue robes swishing, black mask gleaming. And out stepped another figure behind him. This one wore dark black robes, as if to blend in with the night, that were long and enveloping. He was Dunmer, his skin an ashen grey, his ears pointed, his head bald. But any similarities ended there. He was tall, much taller than any elf Alecos had ever seen before. But that wasn't his tell-tale feature. It was the trunk that protruded from where his eyes and nose should've been.

"Ash Ghoul." Creighton whispered.

The Ash Ghoul strode forward, robes flapping. It's trunk turned and twisted, as if it had a mind of it's own. The trunk was both senses, smell and sight, combined. It gave the Ash Ghoul extrasensory abilities far above that of meer mortals. They were held as unkillable, and wielded power akin to that of the most skilled mages.

The Ash Ghoul moved down the room, ignoring both Creighton and Alecos, and headed outside, following Kan and Vin. The Hand was right behind it.

A few moments later Alecos exited behind the Ash Ghoul, Creighton at his heels.

"Follow those two." Alecos instructed Creighton. Creighton nodded, not challenging his friend. He knew what Alecos was going to do.

Alecos struck out into an alley and cast Levitation onto himself. He launched into the air with Speed, and landed softly on a roof. He easily Detected the Ash Ghoul and, to draw it's attention, flared magical power.

The Ash Ghoul whirled around, hissing, and threw itself up onto a roof as well.

Alecos smiled. "We're going to have a chase, you and I." He murmured to himself, before turning and dashing away, launching him on magically enhanced legs to another rooftop. The Ash Ghoul chased after him, dashing off after the Aetherkin, as evening set in.
