Euryale
She moved about in the lair, impatient for a turn of events. She had hoped the foolish ones would have been slaughtered by now. That was not there fate. In fact, not a one of them had died. How lucky they were! She had decided not to risk the lives of her precious shadow hounds, for they were needed for a different task. Protecting her from Terrakis. She had feared his coming even before the meddlesome humans and elves had decided to invade the caverns of her ancestral home. But before they had arrived, all she had to bargain with were the hounds. Terrakis would surely like them. But then she had come. This Rhianneth was special as it was revealed to her. She was connected directly to the Mage! Her sources had shown her many marvellous sights and proved this Rhianneth's worth was to be measured more grandly than any other treasure that she could have gathered up. This bartering gift would prove to be Terrakis's weakness. His pride in being a chid of that Mage would certainly beg her to give Rhianneth to him. And for a price, she would. She made her way over to the stone statue of a lady, frozen in her last breath of life that she had taken before seeing those brilliant green orbs that caused her flesh to turn to stone. Euryale pat the figure, as she spoke, "Yesss my preciousss. You will win me these landsss of darknesss, for you are a prize indeed to the giantsss."
