| This is not as easy as I thought.
Vith! I do need Vierna!
And yet if she returns, she?s sure to kill me. Kill me for being stupid, kill me for being weak. Vith it all!
I thought I had smoothed things over with the yellow town. The captain, Kaelyn, is reasonable to deal with, unlike others. Perhaps the fact she is female makes things more workable. Anyway the air was cleared and a solution agreed upon. One up to me Vierna. Then that idiot male goes and ruins it.
First he brings me that puppet drow Duchy guard. What use is a broken wreck of a male drow to me? A human slave?..lower even than a Von?Sah! I told the male to get rid of him, I wanted no part in what he had done. The guard stupidly thought this was amusing, so I whipped him a few times for his insolence. I ordered the male to get rid of the guard. Told him not to be so stupid and to stay out of trouble. Then it got worse!
For all the warnings and threats to leave the half breed child alone, the stupid brainless male still defied me and hurt her. Now all the work I had done collapsed. The inevitable happened just as I knew it would. That little brat had wormed her way in with so many fawning humans that when word got out, the Nine Hells opened its doors. Now drow have become fair game for retaliation. How am I going to sort this one out? Vith! One orc brained male and one obnoxious bitch child equals one almighty vith up! I will kill that male when next I see him.
Then things got better.
First one of the new followers captured a previously unknown Von?Sah. She brought him to me, another pitiful excuse for a male. Yet another Von?Sah humiliated, tortured and branded in Lloth?s glory. It made me feel a little better. Then Malafae captured the biggest prize. Iym?iara Von?Sah!
This just about put me in a better mood. Kalannar?s daughter is now in my hands. Stashed away in a secure place, far from spying eyes. Only the male Von?Sah knows we have her, not that it matters. He has no clue where she is, nor will he or anyone else find out where. Only I know how to get access to this place! Now I have her and she is destined to rot here. She will never see the surface again!
Vierna may want to kill me when she returns and sees the mess I have made. But now all may not be lost. For now I have a prize to bargain with????.. |
