The assassination of Slyfoot M’Zors

After listening to the Karana sermon, Slyfoot began a conversation with Jwiz, discussing matters such as his bother’s lieing to him.

“What can I do for you Jwiz?”<br>“You can keep an eye on him for me.”<br>“As you wish, but I do have one thing to ask of you.”<br>“And what is that?”<br>“Well, sense it is because of you that I was nearly killed, and I have these daggar wounds…”
“Yes..” said Jwiz.
“ I was wondering if you knew of anything that could help the pain, they still ache a little. And I know nothing of the healing arts.” Said Slyfoot, rubbing her shoulders.

“Well, yes I do actually, but I do not have any of it on me, and it is a family secret.”<br>
“You need not share this secret with me,” said Slyfoot, slightly disappointed.

Jwiz continued, “Meet me in my room at the Freeport Inn.”<br>“ I will be there. “<br>
And the two left, taking their separate ways and meeting again a few hours later inside Jwiz’s room.

“I am here.” Said Slyfoot as she slid into the room.
“Here,” offered Jwiz, giving Slyfoot a red potion in a flask. “Drink it.”<br>
Slyfoot sipped the potion and immediately a wave of relief flowed through her sore body. “That is incredible, the pain is gone!” Slyfoot said, amazed at this wonderful remedy.

“Good,” replied Jwiz, a small smile on his face.
“But, I still feel ill….I am sorry, but could I lay down?”<br>“It is not a problem.” Said Jwiz, gesturing to his bed.
“ I think it is coming on again, the visions, which will be followed by their usual blindness….” sighed Slyfoot.
“ Is there anything I can do?” Asked Jwiz, slightly concerned.
“No, there is nothing. I…I…”

Slyfoot passed out again, and Jwiz remained by her side incase she would require his assistance if she woke.

“Jwiz?”<br>“Yes?”<br>“How long has it been?”<br>“A few hours.”<br>Slyfoot looked confused, “it seemed like days. Ah well, I was right, I had another vision, but all I can tell you of it is that you were in it, for I am still quite confused about it myself.”<br>“Very well, I must attend to my affairs now, will you be ok?” Asked Jwiz, picking up his wands.
“Yes, I will be fine, take your leave.”<br>
Jwiz did so, as Slyfoot sat upon the bed, trying to decipher her vision, and waiting for her blind state to ebb away. A voice interrupted her thoughts.
“Are you inside? Stay inside, for they are coming. I dare not tell you who they are.”<br>
Slyfoot was confused, “Who?” But no one answered. Suddenly Slyfoot began to grow cold inside, she felt shivers all over her body….”Help….”<br>
Slyfoot grew very stiff and frightened, she heard foot steps, and then someone being stabbed in the room next to her…. “HELP!”<br>
Wilkens, who was in ear shoot heard the cry, and ran to help Slyfoot. “ I am coming! HOLD ON!”<br>
“I can hear them….I can hear them!!”<br>
Suddenly Slyfoot heard her own door open, “HELP, THE DOOR, THE DOOR!!!” Unable to see anything, Slyfoot was petrified. Then it came, a cold wet feeling about her feet, and then a hand grabbed her head. She grew weaker and weaker, the hand draining the energy out of her.

Wilkens rushed into the room. “Slyfoot! I am here!”<br>
Slyfoot felt the hand leave her, but she was exhausted. It was done, or so she thought. Then the voices came again….
“Make her leave Slyfoot!”<br>Not knowing what to do Slyfoot did not want her friend injured. “Wilkens…..the voices…the say you must go…..”<br>“No, I wont leave you here”<br>“Make her leave, or she will be shredded to pieces…”
Slyfoot gulped, “Wilkens go.”<br>“No.”<br>Slyfoot did not know what to do, she was so weak…”Wilkens…. Please……I beg you…..”<br>Wilkens thought hard for it was not like a delf to beg, “Ok….I will leave…..”<br>As Wilkens left, Nue entered. Leaving the two alone in the room.

“Slyfoot…”
“Nue?”<br>“I cannot…..control myself…..”<br>Slyfoot wished she could look on to the young elf’s face, but all she could see was darkness”<br>“Please, kill me…..”<br>Slyfoot knew what this was leading to, but she would not kill this elf. “No..”<br>“Slyfoot, please kill me…KILL ME!!!”<br>“I WILL NOT!”<br>“Then I will have to kill you….please slyfoot” The elven girl pleaded as her body was being taken over by an invisible force.
“THEN KILL ME IF YOU MUST,” cried Slyfoot, opening her arms to show she would not harm the young elf.
Then, in a voice not belonging to Nue, “ I am sorry, it is time…” as two quick blades sung through the air.

Hearing Slyfoot‘s hollar, Wilkens rushed back into the room. Wilkens fell back against the wall at the sight…..Slyfoot’s body lay dead on the floor.

[Jwiz]

:: Jwiz hearing the scream comes rushing into Slyfoot's room looking at Slyfoot's body::

" No..no how .. how could this have happened. I knew i shouldn't have left... Jalc if you had anything to do with this i'll... i'll

[Slyfoot M'Zors]

Jwiz rushed out of the room, searching for his brother, Jalc.

Nue came out from hiding. “Nooo….” She screamed as she looked at Slyfoot’s lifeless corpse. But it was not over, the force inside her turned on its next victims: The human known as Wilkens and a small dwarf know as Tradlion. She pulled her blades up and began to advance towards the human. Wilkens drew her sword, ready to avenge Slyfoot’s death. Then a voice came.

:::: Wilken’s you seek revenge on the wrong person, do not kill her ::::

Wilken’s knew the voice to be Slyfoot’s and immediately dropped her sword. Nue began to plead again, begging for her life to be ended so no more harm could be done through her. Wilkens stood back, knowing that her life was at stake, but she refused, just as Slyfoot had. “I will not kill you.”<br>
Nue then heard a voice :::Nueare, fight it, you can do it ::::

Nue heard the voice, releasing her mind towards killing the others. But instead she turned on herself. Daggar in hand she pointed it to her gut. The voice came again :::: Nue, I gave my life for you, don’t ruin it now, fight it….you can do it….:::::

Slyfoot, not in the world of the living, but in the space between the two realms began to direct what little energy was still her’s to command into Nue’s struggling mind. :::: You can do it, fight it ::::

Nue began to shake, fighting with all her strength to over come the evil force controlling her. Her hands quivered. ::: you….can…do…it :::::

The blade dropped from Nue’s fingers as a dark voice bellowed “ Nooo….I will be baaaack….”<br> Nue fell to the ground and grasped at her fallen friend, “Oh Slyfoot……what have I done…..” The dwarf looked down at the small bodied girl as Wilkens rushed out the door for her mother.

Returning seconds later, Renee Wilks appeared in the door, giving orders as she walked it. “All right, get her up on the bed. And be quick.”<br>
Suddenly Slyfoot began to mumble and jerk, somehow life was flowing back into her body. She was seeing visions of her lost love, Bornus. Visions of him being tortured, and calling out to her.

“…Bornus….no…..BORNUS!!!!” Slyfoot suddenly reached gabbed for her staff and whacked Renee in the head. Renee stood back. “Hold her down, she is bleeding profusely, I can’t get to her if she doesn’t settle.”<br>
Slyfoot saw Bornus in a cage, and dark eyes, staring at her, and Bornus reaching out to her crying her name. She fought to get to him “BORNUS!!!!”<br>
The dwarf grabbed here and there, trying to subdue her, but despite her wounds she kept fighting. “Here, put this over her nose, if she wont stop, we’ll have to make her stop,” said Renee handing Wilken’s a cloth and bottle. She placed the sleeping ointment over Slyfoot’s face, and she began to ease back, murmuring Bornus’s name as she fell into sleep.

Blood was every where, but the job was quick. With expert knowledge and skill, Renee had Slyfoot patched up in a matter of minutes. “Oh, this is the girl who had the trouble with the daggers was it?” said Renee rubbing a smooth cream on Slyfoot’s shoulders were marks were left from the wounds. Slyfoot began to mumble again.

“All right now, step back, she is going to come up fighting.” And just as she said that, Slyfoot sprang up swinging fists. “BORNUS!!!!”<br>
