| Hah cursed yellow orb! Not so powerful on my eyes now. You still annoy me, but I will bend you to my will??not too longs *sneers*
I have now watched and assessed this land for several moon cycles now. I see the potential, but I also see my kin disgrace themselves. Even to the extent of being servants to the humans. This will change. Oh yes, not soon, but eventually. Over the years and decades to come, this land will learn to fear Drow. It will bow to the superior race or die in agony.
Curses! A mistake on my part, a foolish one at that. But despite my error I have learned much, so all is not lost. Oh dear divine Lloth forgive your handmaiden for this wrong judgement. I accept whatever punishment you see fit. Yes, poor judgement on my part. I became involved in a ill thought out abduction of a yellow town guard. The guard was to be hostage to secure the release of one of the twins which head the organisation I attached myself to. She was being held by the authorities for I crime which I do not know nor do not care. She was to receive 50 lashes then thrown out of town. The abduction was to secure her release and spare the lashings. I had but a minor part, my role was that of messenger. In hindsight I should have walked away. As I delivered the message, the authorities refused to negotiate and I was arrested for my troubles. I knew immediately we had been betrayed! I also noted as I was led away, the other twin looking on. She did nothing to help, she did nothing to aid the sister she claims to be devoted to. Interesting.
As I sat in the cell awaiting interrogation, two things became clear. Firstly, as I delivered the message the authorities where already aware of the abduction and were mounting a search. Secondly, given that the authorities were unwilling to negotiate and stall for time while the search was conducted, meant they were prepared to let one of their own die! The answer to the first point will take longer to resolve, the answer to the second point soon became apparent.
Most interesting. The interrogation is conducted, not by a senior guard or the magistrate, but by the Baroness. *sneers* What right does a half breed mongrel have to question me! Neither human nor Drow, a nothing! But wait Vierna, think on this. Why does someone in high office want to question a mere messenger? Time for the game to commence *smiles*
Over the days, the interrogation goes beyond my crime as messenger. The half breed tries to play mind games with me?that was her error, she lost *grins*. I learn more about her than she will ever learn of me. This charade has nothing to do with an abduction, nothing to do with the life of a guard which she values as worthless. This has everything to do with Von ?Sah! She thinks my loyalties lie with the twins *giggles*. No half breed my loyalties lie with me. Are you so bitter and hate filled that you would sacrifice a life so that you can enjoy watching another few extra lashes? She thinks she can get at the twins by getting at me. She is of Von ?Sah?they are of Von ?Sah, this stupid and pointless feud must end!
So in the end, she gets absolutely nothing out of me. I am sentenced to 10 lashes and thrown out of town. 10 lashes *smirks* , I have suffered more pain in the El?lar d?Ssinssrigg! Did you enjoy watching Baroness? Do you think this makes you a Drow? Hah *laughs loudly* you will never be a Drow! And the betrayers? I have my suspicions, once confirmed I will act. The purge begins!
I watch, I assess, I report.
