| And still she is missing!
I fear she is dead.
No news of sightings, no reports claiming her capture or death, no signs of her body. Nor has she returned home. My mother demands answers. She claims Lloth has told her she still lives and I must therefore continue the strategy that Vierna has set out. Dear mother, I think I know now what has happened, you work it out for yourself?.bitch!
Vierna has gone into the Abyss to confront that which calls her. There can be no other explanation. That leaves me with a problem. Part of me hopes she does not survive, part of me hopes she does. If she does not survive, it means I must take on dear sister Maya alone. That is not an option just now, she is too strong for me. That is why I need her to survive.
But what else do I need her for? Nothing. Time for me to prepare a long term strategy in the event she does not return. Time for me to think completely of myself alone. Time for me to get allies of my own?to make ME stronger!
I have made a start. That hated guard dog of Vierna?s, the moody one. She made a mistake. She slipped further into apathy because Vierna remains missing. So I seized my chance, now she is safely locked away. Out of sight, out of mind?literally.
Malafae is the one to watch. In Vierna?s absence it is my right to lead. But she has big ambitions that one. So I must gather allies around me and make sure if she tries anything?.she will lose.
This could work very much to my advantage. If I show strong leadership then my mother might begin to realise what an asset I am to her. Maybe be I will win her higher favour. And if that happens???. |
