Role

Chapter 3


A Second Chance
Added Sun Feb 17 03:06:00 2008 at level 1:

Vehldriss'expression froze in uncertainty as doubt clouded her mind.
The careful planning and the many alliances she forged were
crumbling before the First's influence. She had never imagined
that this was a plot, that the Goddess' name would be used in such
a vulgar method. Above all, she had thought she was past the
manipulations that trapped the entire city within the First's
schemes.
Her city was known for their brutality even amongst her kin. The
only slaves they had were those born and raised from forced
copulations. Raids brought back riches and still beating hearts
of the defenders. To leave a child within the reaches of the
dark was almost the norm in her society. Such was the only path
to hone one's instinct and skills. Her sisters, those raised in
the luxury of the city, were only pawns to the First's plans.
Her father, a skilled blademaster who has trained the entire
house guards, was merely a tool to be used and thrown away.
There was no pleasure nor any skills used in dispatching them.
Tools that have outlived their uses are to be dispensed into
something more useful, such as a warm vest. They may have been
trained within the city, yet their moves were sluggish, regimented,
to the trained eyes of one who constantly feasted off cavefishers.

It was by chance that she was captured by the mages of the Second
House during a patrol. Illiterate and nearly insane through her
time in the wild, gradually the sight, scent, and behavior of
her youth came back to her. Velhdriss became the Shadow Mistress
of the Second House, secretly assassinating her deigned targets
as she gathered influence amongst her society. It was not long
until even the powerful Matron Mother of the Second House was
her pawn. Yet, like any caught within the web of the dark-elven
society, this was not enough. Power and influence was what she
desired. Fulfilling a promise she held to her Mother added
finesse to her otherwise normal ambitions.

And here she was, before the one obstacle that stood in her way
to all she ever coveted. The one seemingly insurmountable
obstacle that caused her to doubt when she had none.

The tentacles of darkness, that so easily dispatched her
companions, threateningly grew closer to her. Unnatural spiders
skittered to her form, drawing a close to a chapter of existance
that is her life.

The First tapped her cheek with a finger as her eery eyes
turned inquisitive towards Velhdriss. A wicked smile emerged
on her face, which led to the halt of her minions.

"Perhaps I will let you live my daughter...this time. Another
promise we will make."

The normally collected assassin, shaking silently in fear,
nodded her head as a tiny "Yes Mother" emerged from her mouth.

"I have heard that there exists in the surface an Empire that
spans countless lands. The Goddess and I would be quite thrilled
if such Empire would to become...ours. Go to the surface and
do this daughter, and you will live."

A thought blazed through Vehldriss' mind, then several, until
they all interlinked as one.

'An Empire that she has not touched. My life that she has not
taken. Does she fear this Empire so? It may be, but with the
support of the Goddess, she will control this city. No, if
this Empire is as great as she surmises, then there are
certainly other
