Aludra Nox...something to get us back into the mood before CG 3
By: guest5 Date: March 1, 2017, 6:23 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Lady Nox...mistress of shadow and blood...priestess of Skeus
glared down at the older priestess with green eyes full of grief
and pure hatred. Silva Arren reached out with trembling hands to
beseech the younger, more favoured Skeus-Koth but Aludra kicked
her away, dark painted lips curling into a sneer. "You expect
mercy from me? Mercy from our lady Skeus after your betrayal?"
Aludra almost spat the words, such venom in her voice as with a
swift flick of her hand she gestured for Valen Revven to usher
the small boy, the last now of the House of Dree away. Although
Quell was a noble and strong dark elf he was still too young to
see judgement passed upon the cowardly and traitorous Silva
Arren.
"Please Aludra spare my life...take me back to the temple...I
will confess my sins...but in the name of the goddess be
merciful" Silva begged but she had failed her goddess, her
position and herself, her jealously and bitterness towards this
younger priestess had twisted Silva's reason and broken her
faith. And yet when she could have proven her devotion and
loyalty to the family she had served for so long she turned and
ran, leaving her lord, his heavily pregnant wife, young
daughters and seven year old son to their fate. But what was so
much worse then hiding from the demons, the thing that had
caused Aludra to spit in her face was the discovery, the
confession from the lips of a mere elven child was that she had
bought her life with coins and finery stained in the blood of
those she claimed to serve.
Aludra's long, slender fingers slide silently around the hilt of
her ritual bone dagger as she knelt down next to the shaking,
pleading older elf. Silva shuddered as she felt a hot, rasping
breath upon her grey flesh and a deep whispering voice mocked at
her ear. "But I am not so foolish or conceited to believe that I
have the power to judge you Sliva..." Aludra muttered in a low,
icy cold tone as she leaned in behind the condemned woman.
"True, my actions seek justice for your betrayal on the House
of Dree...to avenge the death of Rankas and his family..."
"Your lover" Silva replied with malice cackle but her triumphant
smile soon faded from her lips as she felt a sharp, cutting
blade at her throat.
"The blood spilt this night nor a hundred nights hence shall
never be enough to avenge his life bitch...only Skeus can truly
judge and punish you..." answered Aludra still in a haunting
whisper as she drew the savage blade across Sliva's throat. "But
your crimson blood shall be the start of it..." the young
priestess continued with a satisfied grin over the sound of
choking as the rich, thick warm blood gushed over her fingers
and slowly soaked into the earth at her feet. Aludra held her
sacrifice fast until the last glistening crimson drop of life
had left her body. Tear stained green orbs raised to the skies,
the muttering of a sacred chant drifting upon the night air, a
blessing offered up to Skeus for safe passage to realms of
pleasure for the departed she now mourned and swore to
avenge...demon blood would be gifted to Skeus...if not by her
hand then she would aid those who might seek these foul
creatures deaths as well...

Red unblinking eyes stared at the scene from a nearby copse.
Taking in all that occurred. Watching the youngling that had not
long hidden behind him be led away by another. Not
understanding, it's eyes closed and it's feet sank slightly into
the soil it was stood on, listening to the sounds of the night.

Quell let out a little whimper, not from fear or disgust at
Aldura's savage, bloody actions but more because he longed for
the comfort and protect of the last he considered family. The
child wriggled from Valen's arms, ignoring the human's protests
and ran to clutch at the lacy, raven skirts of the priestess.
Aludra sighed, placing a hand upon his shoulder as her pale
green eyes stared around the darkening forest that surrounded
them. She feel a little uneasy but steeled her nerves against
showing any fear lest it scared her young charge, he was the
most important thing now that and the revenge of her lost kin.

The creatures 'ears pricked at the sounds being made by the
youngling. It flexed it's ancient muscles and waited to see
what would occur....

Aldura knelt down, staring deep into the young elf's hazel eyes
before speaking in a soft, almost whisper. "You are Lord Dree
now Quell...it is the custom of your father's clan to burn the
bodies of the departed...by flames they spirit shall be released
and by 'our' blood we shall ask Skeus to guide them to the lands
of eternal pleasures...but you must decided where their ashes
will mingle with the earth...shall we take them home or let them
rest here?"
