| I look up at the yellow orb and think. "Why do you persist, you know you can?t beat me".
Ever wonder why a spider creates a web? To catch her prey of course, among other things. But she shows incredible patience because she does not immediately attack. The spider does not need to, the prey is trapped, it cannot escape the web. The prey sticks to the web and the more it struggles the more it sticks. Eventually the victim is too exhausted to do anything, that is when the spider moves. She then injects a venom which renders her victim paralysed. The spider wants it alive, she prefers fresh meat and so the paralysed victim is wrapped in a cocoon and stored until she needs to feed.
And so it was with L, the elf with power I sore badly wanted. That night when I walked from her cottage because she defied me, I knew she would come running back. The web was spun and she was trapped on it, unable to escape. All I had to do was wait.
Then she came to me, she sought me out as I knew she would. She was different, changed, a little harder looking. It was clear she was in trouble, that is why she came back to me. She needed me now, she needed my help, my protection?.I have her now. *laughs* She is mine and Lloths. *smiles broadly*
She gave me the whole sorry tale. Well sorry for her. I found it interesting, amusing even. Although I do not practise it myself, the dark arts have always fascinated me. I find it exciting in a way that such acts against nature can be so useful and dangerous. And this is why she came to me. She dabbled in the dark arts and went too far. All her life she harnessed nature, now in an act of folly she went against it. Cast out by her people, she had nowhere to go. No one to turn to except me. She begged and pleaded with me. She grovelled at my feet to take her in. I told her there was nothing I could do and started to walk away. She then grabbed hold of me, looked at me with frightened eyes and said she would do anything for me.
I sent for Jhulae, my apprentice priestess. We would give the elf a test of loyalty. As we were walking through the woods, not far from the town, I spotted a young peasant girl out alone. I turned to L and pointed at the peasant girl and said "kill her". Without a moments pause or thought she did so. *grins* I turned and looked into her eyes, they were empty. No emotion, no remorse, nothing. She was now totally mine!
We took her back to my home and Jhulae prepared her to give herself over to Lloth. She accepted the branding and the pledges eagerly. A surface elf now a worshipper of Lloth. The Dark Mother?s plan is only just beginning. She will have all elves, dark and light, united under her will, just as she had planned. Oh great Mother of Lusts, Pain and Chaos??do I not serve you well?
I watch, I assess, I report.
