| Ah no yellow orb?it has gone to hide, just the twinkle of white dots.
As I hoped and expected, the twin Zar?riia came in search of her sister. Together with my loyal spy SD, we took her down. She put up a harder fight than I expected, but the outcome was still the same. By this time Aly?riia had been transferred from the temple to a more secure residence which I came across by chance. I looked over the premises with its numerous cells and well furnished "entertainment" rooms and went in search of the owner. Ah Divine Lloth still smiles on me. The owner is a renegade Drow, one who has lost both ears curtesy of a Von?Sah. She also revealed the mark of Lloth. *smiles* Doing business with this one was easy. In fact she ended up by joining my cause, she will be employed as specialist torturer *grins* So it was to this location Zar?riia was taken to be reunited with her sister. Ah such happy days.
With both sisters now secure, I contacted my house so that an escort party could come and collect them. Soon they would be back in the arms of their mother. Soon they would be back where they belong, soon they would have the right to call themselves Drow. No doubt at first it will be a harrowing experience for them, but if a little pain is necessary, so be it. The good things in life never come easy. They will learn how wrong they were, few get a second chance. I just hope they are not too stupid to take it.
Later I had to sneak into the yellow town. The lovesick guard was now almost completely won over and I did not even have to hurt him. But when corruption becomes apparent and can actually be seen before your eyes, then pushing someone in the right direction becomes easy. The trouble is, we see corruption for different reason. I see it to get my way, to get what I want and to spread confusion. He sees it as an affront to his honour and integrity, he sees it as fundementally wrong and so rebels. Unfortunately for him it is so rife that the only ones he can find succour from are ones like me. Now he is mine.
Disaster. As I am leaving the town, I am seized upon by other guards and arrested. These are the corrupt type which my friendly guard detests. These are the puppets of the Baroness. So a good day ends badly. Still it might not be so bad. My band of followers both Drow and non-Drow grows by the day, perhaps a night in the cells will give me an opportunity to work from the inside. Time will tell.
*sneers* Things have got bad. I am charged with a whole list of offences for which the authorities have not one iota of evidence against me. *laughs* The most serious being one of murder. *laughs loudly* What stupid orc brained humans you are. You need a corpse to prove murder. Have you got one *laughs again* No, none of this rubbish will stick against me. I know who is behind all of this. Not the Duke, no not him, but the fake Drow, the one who does not know what she is. The biggest corrupter in Trinsic?.Baroness Moiraine!
One night becomes two and then becomes three. One thing is working, some of the guards are realising something is not quite right. They are arguing amongst themselves about the rights and wrongs of my treatment. *smiles* Ah the power of argument, it has its uses, sometimes more powerful than a sword. Oh and what a special occasion as the Baroness comes to gloat. Guaranteed punishment, but too gutless to do it herself. So after a couple of nights of relative peace and quiet, the fake Drow wants her pound of flesh. And the guards like mindless zombies dance to her tune. So despite having no evidence against me, I am to be punished anyway?a night in the stocks. *sneers* You think you can break me that way Baroness? You think I can ever be broken? No doubt I will have to endure this night after night until I confess. *laughs* I admit to nothing unless it is in my interests. I am Drow Baroness, what are you? I can endure anything, can you?
As I am resting in my cell, I am disturbed by a noise. Some mercenary in a Trinsic uniform and my pet guard have opened my cell door. They are accompanied by my loyal spy. Oh that Lloth smiles on me again, I am free! *laughs loudly* We will meet again Moiraine and when we do it will be on my terms. Then you will learn the true art of suffering and pain and oh dear Lloth how you will suffer! *sneers* This game is now over! Watch your back Baroness, watch your front. Be careful who you speak to, who you visit, who you sleep with. I am watching and my web grows wide. And when I deem the time is right, no matter what precautions you have taken, you will never know what hit you! *laughs wickedly*
I watch, I assess, I report.
