Vengence

[Nikkii O'seth]

" That young arrogant fool I'll see his demise first of all. I'll make him pay for his insults to me and his blatent disregard for my abilities."

Lilyth found some of the bodies and drew out a large bottle. She filled it with the blood of some of the elves and teir'dal then looked about the area then sunk her teeth into one of the elfs and drank a bit of his blood.

" Mmmm so fresh tasting but in gives me nothing without my loves gift..... Oh I will make you all pay. Nikkii.... Patryas .......... Naldany and her accurst husband. One by one I wil kill you all. Oh whats this?"

Several pieces of hair lay on the elf's shoulder. She smiled as a she picked up the pieces.

" Oh Patryas you made a costly mistake I'll use these peices of your hair to make some very potent curses on you."

She tucked the hairs in her purse and wiped the blood from her face.

" Take me back inside Neriak minion." The pet picked her up and hoisted her onto its shoulder. It quickly jogged back into the city heading to the church.

[Nikkii O'seth]

" They have no idea what is in store for them ... these hairs will be a painful curse to that smart mouth boy. But I need a piece of his garmets still perhaps I can get Nikkii or the nieve girl to get me something..... hmmm I know just how to now."

Lilyth started brewing together her potion to curse Patryas as she looked through the journal of the denouncers.....


" Ha ha ha I got it I'll give this to one of her enemies.... "

[Nikkii O'seth]

As Lilyth plotted on Nikkii she thought of her most dangerous foe. She needed someone that could completely distract her and the two girls from the house. She needed the baby to be healthy to complete the ritual and take over the church and Neriak itself. She had one of her body guards bring the highest ranking officers of the guards to her. They did as requested and soon two lieutenants entered the chamber. Olauntar a strong built teir'dal male and Delrini a graceful female.

" Madam why have you summond us we have pressing bussiness to attend to with our captain still missing." Olantar said starkly.

" Forgive me for such intrusion but I wish to know the name of the culprit that helped the elven girl steal the little prince."

" That man is named Loveless... he was last seen in the Qeynos prison before the riot. It is assumed that he went to the plaguebringers temple. But why would you care about that information madam?" Delrini said as she crossed her arms looking on with great concern.

" I wish to confront him and finish him myself."

" Madam I advise against this action... I will not send any of our troops that far without the consent of my'lady Nikkii or Captain Adaun." Olantar burst in.

" I can deal with him myself... I just needed the location.... No go tend to your duties."

The two lieutenants turned and left without a further word. Lilyth then summonded for a wizard to open a portal for her to the bertoxxulous shadow. It was done quickly and Lilyth stepped though, now to find Nikkii's enemy to help shift the balance of power.

[Nikkii O'seth]

Lilyth walked thoughout the complex looking for one that she believed could do the job for her. She asked the priest about the shadowknight and was delighted when they pointed her right to him. Loveless sat outside of a room nearly asleep when she walked infront of him and dropped the journal at his feet.

" I think you will find great use in this information my friend..... I am Madam Lilyth O'seth."

Loveless looked down at the shiny book and looked thought it and started laughing uncontrollably.

" I hate that last name you have but you have given me some good entertainment and ...... I can use this to take someone out of power she never deserved."

" Just one thing get rid of the girls too....... I don't want that one removed only to put one of them in her place."

" Hmmmm one I can get to walk away the princess however I will deal with easily..........." Loveless chuckles as he flips the page. " Brell.. that explains the hair and the brute strength...... My thanks m'lady."


Loveless gets up and walks away still reading the journal. Lilyth satisfied with her mission had the portal reopened and stepped back though it to Neriak. Apon her arrival her handservants welcomed her and told her of Phelan's return.

" So what I'll get him too if he should cross me.... but for now see that the scorn master of the U'dedne house knows that the guardsmen her need to be rotated and some from Hazernak be sent here.... our own guardsmen. I am going to see my loves quarters assuming it still remained hidden and maybe he left something for me. Then I'll use that baby to take over."

[Naldany O'seth]

Naldany took several deep breaths as she walked about the church for the first time as its head. She didn't know what to do really and her husbands words, she never had confidence in herself. She could weild a sword just as well as anyoter but didn't have the experiance to actually do more than just defend herself. Aramis giggled a squirmed as they went into her grandfathers former study. She sat with the child looking about the room. It was furnished with the most expensive of artifacts and very old trinkets and books. Soon the door opened suddenly and cautiosly. Naldany quickly quieted the child and casted an invisiblity spell over the both of them. Then Lilyth came into view, she searched the wall looking for something. Then she smiled as she pushed a brick in opening a passageway. Naldany placed Aramis in the chair and gave him a doll to play with as she followed Lilyth into the dark tunnel. The tunnel opened into a large bedroom that had several vials filled with liquids some of them blood of unknown origin. Lilyth undressed down to her undergarmets then started looking through the vials.

" You can quit hiding girl... I thought I sensed you in the other room."

" What is this place ? And that in the vials ..."

" This is where my love made his miracles...... His eternal youth..... The creation of a lycanthrope. The summoning of gods to create that boy of yours... I will ensure that he becomes Innoruks avatar .... after I get rid of your adopted aunt, her lycanthrope child, and you."

Fear and anger took Naldany as Lilyth looked her in the eyes with a look of death and a smirk on her face.

"What do you mean adopted? And I won't let you harm my son."


" She is not of blood relation to you, and you have no choice but to watch me work."

Naldany held up a vial of orange liquid and smirked again as she approached Naldany.

" This is what made Nikkii's child the creature she is today. I held the girl still when she wasn't much older than your son. I assume its was painful since she screamed for hours and hours."

Something caught the necromancers eye as she stopped and looked over to the shelf and another vial. she put down the lycanthrope potion and grabed the vial taking the lid off.

" This..... this is what I want. This will give me eternal life as it did my loves.. I will drink this and then I'll deal with you."

[Naldany O'seth]

" Deal with me? I might be spoilded but I won't be pushed around anymore not by you and not by my aunt."

Naldany attempted to cast a spell as Lilyth looked at her in disbelief. To both of their surprise nothing happened, and that brought a smile to the necromancer's face.

" Stupid girl I forgot no magic could be used in this room and without that your all talk."

" Not anymore..... put that bottle down.... you old hag." Naldany had her sword drawn and pointed towards Lilyth's neck.

" My girl .... You think you can wield such a sharp instument. And you know you can't kill me.... You lack aggression and I am protected by law."


" That matters not to me you are attempting to do something to my child and you speak ill of my aunt. Not to mention your as twisted as my grandfather."

" I take that as a compliment, but I tire of this useless chat."

Lilyth started drinking the liquid but Naldany slapped the vial from her hand shattering to vial in the process. Lilyth flew into rage at the sight of the spilt liquid.

" Aww I made a mess of this stuff." Naldany said with a smile.

" Why you little wench you will suffer for this." Suddenly Lilyth's eyes went dark and she moved in close enough to grab Naldany by the throat and started squeezing.

" Well it looks like I am the stronger now girl."

Naldany swung her sword at Lilyth and cut her deeply across the chest making her drop her. The cut quickly healed and lilyth laughed. Delrini was passing by the door and herd something and what sounded like a child playing. Naldany grasped her thoat as Lilyth stood over her with the vial that she claim changed Darlena into a lycanthrope.

" Now I'll give you a gift.... I hope your husband and house like it." Lilyth kneeled down and forced the fliud into Naldany's mouth. Although she didn't swallow most she did so as she tried to cry for help as it came out in a gurgled scream. Delrini reconzied that voice and began trying to get into the locked room. The noise made Aramis start to cry increasing Delrini's aggitation.


" Now the effect will take a week to take ahold but you will manage I will return to Hazernak now... you take care of yourself I'm sure your "aunt" will."

Lilyth left the room out of another passageway leaving Naldany to her new fate and possible death at the hands of Nikkii. Her chest and skin burned and head spun as she tried to focus on the way out but could move very slowly.

[Nikkii O'seth]

Lilyth had been very busy since her arrival in Hazernak,even Loveless had made hisself shown as he sat in he chambers studying the journal of the denouncers. Lilyth had assembled several mecernaries from the eastern shores. She had them gathered outside of her place as she started her breifing. There stood seven different people, two female teir'dal rouges, two troll warriors, a human shadowknight with a very large broadsword, and tier'dal enchanter and enchantress.

" As you know I have summond you here for a reason and you will be payed the rest of what you was given apon the success of your mission.... The death of the O'seth heirs. I want the child returned alive so that I can drain his vitality."

" What of the guardian the wizardress calls husband?" The human knight asked. " I here his swordmanship is notable."

" That toy is to be distracted.... get him away from the city to trap him against the soldiers that will accompany you to stall him while you deal with the girls, concentrate on the red haired one first she will prove to be the most trouble."

" My lady can we not kill the toy .... why just stall him?" the twin rouges asked in unison.

" I enjoy his anger and frustration, I want to kill him myself. Now go I don't want them getting too comfortable."

The seven mercenaries set out of Hazernak with about fifty troops and after nightfall was on the outskirts of Neriak. The rouge female took out the forward guards quickly.

" We make camp here..... and make preparations for our attack. Have the troops kill any that come this close to this outpost and have them do it quietly we only need a few hours to rest and make ready so lets not mess this up."

In the meantime the O'seth house was getting seated for dinner and Naldany waited for her husbands return. Olantar kept an eye on Phelan assuring his safety as Delrini took her seat at the table with Darlena and Naldany.

[Nikkii O'seth]

"I need you to do something for me Loveless and you may concider it paymet for the book I gave you..... tell me where is the girl that stole the baby from the O'seth house... I could use her skills right about now to kill the princess and get me that child."

" She is beyond my reach .... taken from me... I don't wish to talk about it any further."

" Then do you possess anything that belongs to her? "

Loveless took out a brown sack and drew a lock of green hair from it.handed it to Lilyth.

"Hmmm I can do something with this but it won't be as good as the real thing.... tell me was there any that you slain when you and her lost the child to that spoild girl?"


" Indeed... a human girl .... a monk. Yeah she was and ok fighter could do some real pain when she got going."

"Shut up I need to concentrait.."

Lilyth closed her eyes andheld her hand above her culdron. blood strarted to come out of her ears as a human corpse rose from the liquid and fell to the floor. The body was badly decomposed and the wrappings losely fitting.

" You monster this woman was barely out of childhood before you took her life... her family will notice soon that her grave is empty. "

" So.." Loveless said with a smile.

Lilyth went to a trunk and pulled out some clothes. After she took a drink of blood from a wine glass she knelt back over the girls body and spoke a few chants. within moment the flesh restored to her. Lilyth stood the girl up and clothed her. The girl looked normal but her eyes was without pupils and skin cold to the touch.

" Execellent... with a few more spells she will be a match for the red head..... now I must work on the hair to make that elf do my bidding."

" No....leave her alone ...."

"Very well then a doll can be made, I will require somenew ingredieants.."

Then the human shadow knight stepped into the room.

" We was unable to procure the child but the redhaired one was injured badly before we withdrew.

"" Fine I anticipate they will try something call up the rest of my army and have them watch the outpost."

[Loveless]

So... you lost 6 of your best assassins, a good hand full of your men, the element of surprise, and didn't get the kid and all you have to show for it is that you injured one of the people you want dead. Well your just off to a hell of a start aren't you.

Loveless smile at the sudden uncomfortable silence.

As he was about to get up to leave one of Lylith's spies walked into the room and immediately sense the tension. Lylith looked at the spy with an angry stare,
"well, what is it?"
"umm, it seems Lady Nikkii was spotted in Neriak, and the O'seths are planing some sort of celebration of their victory"

With that Loveless stood up and walked toward the door.
Lylith cut in front.
"Where are you going?"
"To a tailor, I'm going to need some party clothes"
he said with the same taunting smile as before

[Nikkii O'seth]

"So your going to provoke them again.... I think they would be ready for that."

Lilyth went back to crafting the doll copy of Keyra and Mi'anna.

" Suit yourself then but leave the princesses toy for me... if you live. Atleast your going to buy me some more time to complete my projects and ready myself to consume that child."

Lilyth's guards showed Loveless out as a unruly dwarf was brought in to be bled out for her.

[Nikkii O'seth]

The Dwarf was anchored tightly to a table as Lilyth drew a very jagged dagger from her side. Quickly she pushed his head aside and quickly slashed his neck drawing his life essance. She filled bottles of his blood up taking caution not to spill a drop. She placed one bottle off to itself and the rest was poured into a vat of foul liquid. She chanted a spell from her spellbook and spinkled some dust into it causing a minor poof of smoke.

" Now its ready.... This will give my creations a true life."

Lilyth first grabbed Mi'anna and shoved her into the liquid. The girl began to scream and she rose from the liquid.

" Excellent, You are near perfect.... soon within a few hours you will have strenght beyond what you possessed." She said examining the girl.

" What... happened to me?..."

" Oh child .. those awful O'seth's from Neriak took your life after having you protect their baby.... I felt so sorry that one so young was killed by Adaun the cruel, and Darlena the animal."

" They killed me?..... Why?"

" Child they knew that if you knew what that child will do you would stop them."

" The baby..... yes..."

" That child is Innoruks avatar, within a few months he will sprout wings and then his power will grow uncontrollably..... You must help me bring him here where I will seal him away."

Mi'ana fell to her knees still not fully in control of her enhanced body. Lilyth had her guard take her upstairs to her quarters. Then she turned to the Keyra doll, and placed it into the vat.

" Yes, you will be the factor to drive Phelan over the edge."

[Nikkii O'seth]

Lilyth examined the copy a bit closer and got frustrated apon finishing.

" That fool gave me old hair!! This copy possesses no lycanthropsy.... in fact barely anymore skilled than a novice hunter.... bah. I'll still use it anyway, still formidable by any means.."

Lilyth and the soulless being left the room to head to the upper chambers to plot her next assualt. The Human knight stood at the top of the stairs. He offered her a polite greeting that went unnoticed. The copy stopped and looked at him blankly before following Lilyth.

" M'Lady the twin rouges are still alive..... It appears that Nikkii and Phelan plan on extracting information from the two women about you and your plans."

" Well ... I can't have that happen , not that they know anything, but they do know our location and I'm not ready for that knowledge to get out...... Ok I have a job for you then."


" Yes M'lady?"

" Take the monk girl and go to Neriak ..... pose as shop peddlers selling artifacts and gain entry into the church, they should be tired from their little party so the guard won't be at their sharpest. See about getting to them and free them or kill them."

" It will be done ... M'lady" He bowed to her and set off.


Lilyth went to her chambers and layed on her bed. As the copy stood there looking at her.

" Ugh.. you senseless thing lay down somewhere and go to sleep."

The copy sat down in place and closed her eyes without a word.

" The first thing I do in the morning is give you a personality... your going to drive me crazy like this."
