"Removing the taint now won't do anything to help. The damage has already been done." She stared at her pale blue skin, then frowned at forced it back to black, "The manipulation of the Spider Queen is deep. No doubt one of her hand maidens told the old house of our plans, in hopes they would destroy the worshippers of Shar. They failed, and now Lloth will use them for revenge against Shar, against me." She lay the sword across her lap and dropped her face into her hands, "Curse them." She whispered, her eyes gone dry in place of tears, "The only thing worse than what they did to my mother is what they could do to my daughter."

Alae bit her lip and looked at where the drow and sword had dissapeared, "Aunty looked upset. I hope everything's going to be alright."

Tagnik gently carressed it's creators mind, the equiverlent to a hug, had it been in humanoid form. Tenderly, it whispered, "Then mother, let us hope that your daughter is not in peril." it sighed, and whispered, "Removing the taint... would do much and it is not the boy's fault who his father is. He hates it... he would do anything to be free of it." the sword sighed again, and whispered, "Mother, is it possible that the tratior still lurks amongst your ranks? It would not be Sui'aerl, I have seen into her mind, and she would die before betraying you." Tagnik paused and whispered, "Mother... they made her body and mind into that of a lich, and her spirit as a banshee... it is... horrible..." the sword sobbed, betraying the hurt it felt at it's creator's mother's fate. "She... isn't just undead, she has been torn in two." the blade shuddered mentally, "It... is perhaps one of the most horrible fates they could concieve, Mother." it sighed, and whispered, "I've... missed you so much. When... when you disowned my master... it hurt me. More then you could know." the sword's voice was almost like a childs; it did think of Alliene as it's mother, and it loved her.

~~~Meanwhile...~~~

Arlyth sighed. "I hope so too, dear cousin. But right now, I am more concerned with the fate of those elves. There is well over two thousand of them. I refuse to stand by and do nothing whilst my kin are slaughtered. he looked into Alae's eyes. "I won't back down on this, cousin. If you let them be slaughtered, or taken as slaves, you'll have to do the same to me."
