Another session with the Von?Sah. There was not much pain for her this time, well not physically anyway. *laughs* I showed her a pair of severed ears. She stared at them, I let it sink in. Yes little one?.they were Korith?s I told her. Any defiance she thought she could muster against me just melted away then. Then I told her that her family had abandoned her, nobody cares. Not Kalannar, not Moiraine, not Jaraxle or T?ristre. Not even Korith. Poor Iym?iara left forgotten by those she thought cared. *laughs again* She visibly deflated before my eyes. This hurt her badly.
We talked then, about her past. She revealed some interesting things. It made me think. This wretch stuck to a cave wall and cocooned in spider silk, she was no Von?Sah at all! This is Sabrae and the twins all over again. Another child stolen from their true mother. Hmm. This needs further investigation. Oh I know the depths of depravity House Von?Sah had sunk to?..but child stealing? *chuckles* That is low! This puts a different perspective on why I hold her. This explains why the Von?Sah?s have made no attempt to find her. I left her to think over what we had discussed, may be something will come back to her. I will find her mother, her true mother. And if, like the others before her she is of Lloth, yet another nail in the coffin Von?Sah *laughs long and loud*
LL worries me. She drifts from reality to fantasy. I cannot get through to her. Whatever Faeryl did to her mind is proving difficult to rectify. I sought out the Lady again. Hmm. She too thought I was dead. But unlike LL she did not see me as a ghost, but an impostor. Once I proved to her who I was, I asked for her help to bring me back my LL. She agreed. For she too wants the real LL back.
Plans are now being made to locate and secure the stronghold which Lloth wishes me to restore. Once we assess what we are up against, we can decide how best to proceed. I have put SD in charge of that assessment. She will not fail me. The temple and the stronghold, together an indication on how far the strands of Lloth?s web can reach. The next phase will soon begin.
*I look in my bag and see the strange box*
Hmm. More of these exist. Of that I am sure and in one of her lucid moments LL, confirmed it. She also knows who has them. It is clear that they have greater significance to the humans than they do for me, but that alone suffices. I have something want! Knowing that, I want the others and I will get them. Then the humans can kneel before me and beg. *laughs* While she was still lucid, I told LL to get them for me. May be by focusing on such a task it will bring her round. I dearly want her back.
I arrive home after a tiresome day. A note, written in Drow is by the door. *sighs* What now???
I watch, I assess, I report.
