The Four Treasures

I did not release the drow.

"Driznarden, do nopt interrupt me. This no longer is about you. I want to hear about her. You will have plenty of time to discuss it with her when we stop to reast."

I let out a scornful harsh laugh "You always were a horrible lier, eversince we were little. you were always in it for yourself. Greedy coward." and to the man who held my face, "Ha! you think you can torchure me? I have suffered unspeakable horrors that your inocent brain cuold not even begin to comprehend. Your name is Seraph right? well myname is learil and i speak the truth to you by my dark elf's honor but i suppose you don't value that."

"That means nothing. Not just to me, but to anyone. A drow's word is as good as a rock is in a marketplace." I slowly began draining her life force.

Black, tendril like makring began emanating from my fingertips onto her face. Excruciating pain wracked her body. It felt as if her very soul was being drained away by this man dressed in blood red armor; his blood stained face and lion's grin seemed even more threatening.

The markings flowed gracefully onto her face, shining even on her ebon colored skin. As she watched in horror, the mad gash on Seraph's face began to close.

Her first impression was that of a vampire. Something about him seemed almost undead...perhaps it was his teeth, or maybe his eyes. Regarless, something about him made her uneasy. The mind wracking pain didn't help.

as i looked up i was shocked"what in the nine hells do you think your doing, your killing her!"

"I will find out what I need to know, one way or another. She will live through this."

It took all my strength to gasp, "Kill me!" in a final stand of defiance.

". . .she's probably right. . ." Croak coughed, still mostly asleep, ". . .after all. . .she does have purple eyes. . ." He was instantly back asleep--in fact, those who heard him wondered whether he had even woken up at all.

I continued until my strength had fully returned, then released her. The tatoo-like markings now stretched from her face all the way to her ribcage and the middle of her arms.

"Think, then answer me. It is in your best interest to answer. You don't want to be marked by Law the rest of your life."

"answer you what exactly? you want a lie that pleases you instead of a truth you are afraid of? At this piont I don't have my best interests in heart at all, otherwise i wuold have never came. I bet you feel strong attacking a defencless bound woman, and besides i am sure a full boby tactoo wuold give me character." I desperatly called 'morgana get ready' telepathically to her.

"Drow are never helpless. You insult my intelliegnce, fool. What makes you different from your brethren? How do I know you are not simply making up a story about not being involved with the drow that attacked us?"

I laughed, a cruel undertone to my chuckle.

"A full body tatoo? Hardly. This tatoo will enact the same punishment I just dealt to you every time you go against the Helm's Law. Your very existence is an insult to Helm. Everything you do is ruled by Chaos. You could hardly hold a conversation with someone without triggering its fury. You do not know pain until you've been assaulted by Helm's fury."

I cut her bonds and turned back around, dropping my head into my hands and breathing heavily. My hands were quaking, as were my arms.

"Don't even try to call your dumb dog," I said to her in the Ancient tounge. Continuing, I said, "I don't care about either of your personal problems, for I care not for your race. And, no, Driz, it is not due to your skin color, as I am not that superficial. Due to your race's treachery, you have forever been shunned by the Eldarion, and more importanly by Isha" I said. I drew a wickedly curved blade out of its scabbard, and continued speaking in Elvish, "Now, you will help me and my freinds, or you will die on the spot...both of you. I saw you fight the Drow, but as Seraph pointed out, that is not uncommon. And if you wish to live, you had best cooperate with us." I paused, choosing my words carefully, and again contineud in Elvish. "Why, exactly are you here, and what is your business. I don't care if you want to kill him, or whatever, but I want the deep, underlying reason. You got me?" I switched to common tounge. "And if you don't tell my freind what he wants to know, I'll kill you"

(I dunno, that didn't seem properly elven to me, but whatever)

Depite my reasent ordeal with that vampiric creature I jumped up with renewed strength and tumbled out of the cart. Diz eyes went wide put he had no time to do anything as i attacked knocking him out. I was begginning to beat him but someone croak i think hes called pulled me off hm. I antgicipated pain from the tactoo although i was still unsure of the rules of it. Only then did i notice a curved blade at my throat.

The instant the female drow tried to jump up, she bagan to twitch in pain. She immediately feel to the floor of the wagon in pain. Pain wracked her body, sending tremors through her spine.

"Do not tempt me." Seraph's voice was quavering now. He didn't even raise his head from his hands or turn to look at her.

I expalined to Valin what i saw he nodded each time when i finished he spoke.

(Sorry for controling Valin Dan and for doing such a short post. Also Dan i'll edit this when you'll tel what you say)

(sorry, maybe its effect can take a little bit to work because i truly needed to knock DQ's character out-zelithon)

the moment i saw the blade i fell into a spasmatic seizure of pain, like every nerve in my body was burning with ice. so great was the pian i fainted.
