Windy Speaks to Arianna

Windy Ravenfeather: Makes her ways through the shadows carefully, but as swiftly as she can manage to reach Arianna's home. She bursts in without even knocking, knowing full well that is at the risk of her own life.

Arianna Shadowdew: "What is the meaning of this?! How DARE you enter my home without permission!" she growls at the Fae.

Arianna and Windy
Windy Ravenfeather drops to her knees before her begging forgiveness. "My deepest apologies M'Lady, but this is a grave matter and of some urgency that I bring to you."

Arianna Shadowdew stands towering over Windy, her boots mere inches from her face. "It better be, or I shall have you as a toy for my spiders before eating your corpse."

Windy Ravenfeather trembles slightly and keeps her head down. "They took it! They came into my home and stole the cat!" she pauses then continues. "I think the Druid King killed the spiders in my forest and took his creature back with him, M'Lady."

Arianna Shadowdew's blood red eyes seemed to turn darker and filled with fury, resembling the pit of a volcano ready to erupt. She growls through clenched teeth. "You mean to tell me that Jaekob has once again destroyed something that is mine?!" She shakes with anger as she paces the room.

Windy Ravenfeather slightly raises her head looking up at Arianna. "Yes, M'Lady. He killed my pets! I want his blood and the blood of all who serve him! He must be ripped limb from limb!"

Arianna Shadowdew stops pacing and shoots a look at Windy that would chill a monster to the bone. "Oh yes little one. He WILL pay, but not so fast. I need to figure out more about the magic in this collar. I'd venture to guess that he will be looking for it also."

Arianna Shadowdew grins wickedly, "Let him come. Let him enter the halls of the Drow and learn what real darkness is. I shall enjoy making him suffer for ages."

Windy Ravenfeather looks at her not sure what to do.

Arianna Shadowdew pulls Windy up by her hair in one swift and harsh move. "You must return to Mirkwood for now and gather information. I don't doubt they will be back to search for the collar."

Windy Ravenfeather nods, "yes M'Lady"

Arianna Shadowdew narrows her eyes, "Under no circumstances are you to kill anyone. Is that clear?"

Windy and Arianna
Windy Ravenfeather looks angry and pained, "but M'Lady!"

Arianna Shadowdew: NO! Do not kill anyone! You may harm them, but I want them to carry a message back to the Druid." smiles as she savors the thought.

Arianna Shadowdew: Give them this message for him. "You shall find what you seek, where it all began."

Windy Ravenfeather looks at her a bit confused but nods. "I shall do as you command M'Lady."

Arianna Shadowdew: Now go! Be swift and make yourself ready. We must expect others soon.

Windy Ravenfeather leaves immediately and makes her way to Mirkwood.

  1. Jaekob, what DID you do to Arianna to make her hate you so much?

  2. It's a long story, Langalf; goes back decades to when a drow male took in the wood elf baby of the woman he loved. But, in doing so and in trying to raise the child as the mother would have wanted, he pretty much destroyed the family's standing in the Drow community. His sister, Arianna, never forgave him and eventually was the cause of his death. And she never forgave the child - Jaekob.
