Role

Chapter 3

A young thing woman, covered with scars and bruises stands before a grizzeled
brute of a giant, weaponry adorn the walls of this room that is a large open
space with a few practice dolls set up here and there.

I thought that you would have chosen the daggers Liantae, the giant said.

Yes, I do... But what one prefers from youth, and what one learns over years
of battles... What I prefer, is to see blood. Blood and death, and I will use
whatever tools that help me the most to bring this to the world the drow
replied.

At first the giant glares at the drow, then a wide grin spreads on his face.


It is not often Liantae, that I teach one of the weaker races this craft. But
you are not the first. You will see a lot of death using these tools for
certain, most likely your own. Come, I will show you how it's done.

With those words, the giant walks over to the wall and snatches two axes from
the weaponstand and throws them to Liantae, then he picks up two for him
self.

See, this is how you do it...

The dull thuds of practice weapons spreads through the training area as the
large giants teaches the tiny drow how to make use of the oversized tools.

Liantae has learned how to use the axes, as usual, she does what she pleases
and uses whatever tools she feels suits her best for the time being. No doubt
she will attempt to master other weapons as well as the need arises.
Sometimes, she is as friendly as a scribe, sometimes, she's meaner than...
Well, she's as mean as most drow females. It all varies depending on her
feelings and needs for the day. She embraes the freedom she has, the freedom
she lacked in her upbringing.

A sense of loyalty has snuck up upon her however, nothing that she is yet
concious about, but the tree has brought her endless of oportunities to give
her pleasure. She has learned how to bring forth fire to the cities,
construct nasty traps in the woods and how to ambush unsuspected prey. Just
like many spiders do. Her once infantile quest to "help the spiders" she has
realized is just a very small part in a large world, she doesn't really care
much for that, even though her facination for spiders still lingers, all she
really seek is the pleasure of destroying civilization and bringing death to
the world.
