Run!

KHEELAN

He heard running, it wasn't hard to hear that someone was being chased through the woods on the hollowed ground area from where he sat just by the edge, guarding Greatwood from tresspassers. At the moment he wasn't in the city of Sidh guarding its "gates", but the outskirts.

Kheelan sat in a tree with a good view of a clearing that was known to get tresspassers off and on, he wasn't alone of course, more fae were around the woods as well but in a distance good enough to be able to wistle signs and what not if anything happened, but far enough in between that they could shoot a target if it didn't listen to warnings to enter Greatwood.

Teal  colored eyes spotted a figure he had seen before. That boy who collected wood earlier, the one who had only been here a few weeks and who had seem more lost than anything. Had he gotten himself in trouble again? Kheelan peered between the leaves and then became sure that it was the same human boy he had seen before. He was being chased, no doubt about it.

Kheelan answered a whistle, telling the other fae to hold back while he made himself ready with his bow. As Sasha stumbled up to run from the fall, Kheelan aimed to do a warning shot behind the man and to the ones chasing him. At the same time, he allowed himself to be seen by Sasha. Hopefully the young human would recognize him. His red hair was a dead giveaway even though it was currently tied back in several braids so it wouldn't be in the way during guard duty.

As soon as the arrow left the string, it hit a tree in front of the robbers that seemed to chase the boy. Should Sasha look up at him, he would point to a nearby rock which had a crevice from Kheelans point of view, still in Hollowed Grounds area just outside the border to Greatwood but a good place for the boy to hide and a good place for  Kheelan to aim and shoot the robbers, should they venture further out after the warningshot had landed. Kheelan graciously placed another arrow on his bow while standing firm on a brach only a hand full of meters away from the rocks he had pointed to for Sasha to hide without telling him so out loud.

In fae tongue which sounded more like birds singing, he told other guards that he knew the boy and that he would not be harmed. Currently he was no threat to greatwood, only hunted and afraid of who ever persued him. Exactly why Kheelan chose to help him, not even he was sure of, something told him to do so and he followed that instinct without hesitation.

Kheelan was clothed in armor this time, still with the green coloration, but also with golden colored armor on as well. His bow was wooden and leather with golden arches on the endings, most probably blades if he needed to get into hand in hand combat.
