OOC: Ok Here You Go Guys! Have Fun....

*Grindall Took The Blade Poison And Placed The 3 Small Vials Of Green Liquid In His Sack*

So What Do We Do Next? We Really Need To Find Out What Neb Is Up To, And Why He's Doing It. Any Ideas Guys??

(OOC: Go on a few quests or something, Neb is going to wait some time before he strikes....)

Her eyes clouded, she stares pensively into space. Allowing the random thoughts to flow about in her mind ~ Could it be Master?... But he could not have known that I would escape... why, I did not even know I would, until I met this lot... a lot that included Neb... ~ She blinks twice, trying to concentrate on this train of logic ~ ...they ought to know more about Neb, really... I am just a runaway bride, about to be recaptured the moment I am left alone...

At this, her lips purse and she takes a quick glance at her other companions ~ This adventure is becoming more than I'd bargained for... there hasn't been a moment of peace since I bumped into them... but then, I have no choice... Finally, she speaks up, her voice cautious and troubled ~ "I really cannot help in this, I am afraid. I never knew Neb until the day you landed in the dungeon."

As she utters the last word, a wave of giddiness strikes her. She feels herself swaying on her feet, and her eyes blink desperately, trying to stay open. A sharp pain tears through her head and she emits a scream. Hands now clutching at her temples desperately, she moans, trying to rid herself of the mental assault.

Flinging herself onto the ground, she begins to tumble around helplessly, gritting her teeth to prevent herself from causing a din. After a long struggle, her muscles begin to relax as she falls into a deep sleep...

OOC>>> This is part of her sub-plot, but also because I will be away for the next 3.5 days. If it's not too much trouble for any of you, could you drag her along / control her actions for me? If otherwise, just dump her and I'll take it from here when I return.

OOC>>> Sorry if I kept everyone waiting

It's bedtime, so last post for now.

IC>>>
"Did you think you could escape from me?" ~ The smoothness of his voice sends shivers running down her spine as she watches him approach. A dark figure against the equally dim background, now advancing towards her purposefully. She feels her entire body trembling, but shock holds her in a paralysed state...

"Why would you leave me, fair Mistral?" ~ He continues, his eyes now flaring out brilliantly as if they are lit by a glowing fire ~ "Do you not know the penalty for betraying me?" ~ The tone of pity increases the sense of terror in her heart, and she stammers ~ "P...please, forgive me, Master... I had no choice..."

"What do you mean, you had no choice?" ~ Standing before her now, his ageless face smiles with amusement ~ "Were you forced to leave at knifepoint? Were you coerced into swearing a geas to serve your captors... incidentally my victims?" ~ As the rhetorical questions bombard her ceaselessly, she feels her energy draining away.

"Please... let me go... what use could I be to you?" ~ Her voice takes on an edge of panic. The immediate response that she gets is a laugh, one that is not particularly pleasant ~ "Precisely, my dear. Since you are useless to me, would it not be better for me to kill you off right now?"

"No!" ~ She screams, tearing herself away from the vicious grip of fear. Finally, she succeeds and staggers backward, only to find herself up against a solid wall. The smirk on her master's face deepens and she braces herself for the next words before her death. And yet...

"I know you are afraid of death, my dear Mistral." ~ He continues conversationally ~ "... and so, I shall spare your pathetic life. But know this, dear one. That from this day forth, you shall meet me in this state every few days... as and when I wish to see you. And it shall be very often..." ~ Chuckling softly, he turns away from her, returning to the darkness.

"No!..." ~ Her anguished cries echo back, mocking at her...

In reality, she tosses and turns, beads of perspiration forming on the temples of her head.

Staggering in to the inn..madman stumbled drunkenly after a heavy night out into what he thought was his own room.

''Well hello there you pretty thing you....he slurred at seeing mistral in distress in her dreamstate...wait a minute your not no courtesan...MIstRAL!!?! he sobered up dramitially on the realisation of a friend in pain... he gentl shook her bck too conceiousness ...mistral you okay?? madman went tofetch the others

Neb · 12-09-2001, 02:03 PM

Neb paced impatiently at the assasin's headquarters during one of the rare times when he wasn't busy training, playing chess with Gilgamesh or sleeping. It would still be some days before they attacked and the rest of the team was getting impatient as well, he would give it one more day and then he would attack, to the Nine Hells with the guildmaster's orders, he wanted to KILL.....

mistral4543 · 12-09-2001, 09:15 PM

As the futility of her protests sinks in, she drops onto her knees, her head lowered and her shoulders drooped. Rationality and self-preservation pull her ears and scream into them ~ A lifetime of affliction, then... is this worth it? ~ And a countering voice resonates around her ~ What madness is this?! These are your friends... ~ What friends? You've let them go, only to sink into a worse fate. Why not make amends while you can? ~ Her body now convulses once again ~ How can you betray them? Have your morals sunk so low?! ~ Her fists clench tightly, shaking from the exertion ~ To hell with morals in matters of survival! It would be so easy... to lure them back... you know the way...you can do it...

Body writhing in pain from the inner conflict, she raises both hands to her temples and grips the sides of her faces with outstretched palms ~ Stop this! I'll go mad if you don't stop! I won't allow this...

Suddenly, she feels an arm shaking her insistently, followed by a sober tone ~ "Mistral, you okay?" ~ With a soft cry of gratitude, she turns towards the intruder who has saved her from the struggle...

In reality, her body gives a final tremble before her eyes flutter open. Turning to her left, she sees a large figure dashing out of the room. It seemed to be Rogovich, though he slightly staggered in his steps. Weak from exhaustion, she remains lying down, feeling the perspiration running down her neck.

Whatever I do, I must not fall asleep again...not now... ~ Forcing her eyes to remain open, she stares at the ceiling of the room.
