Chapter 28 - Prisoners, Aren’t we all?

Sarevok cursed his fortune, it would be his luck that he would run into the Bhaalspawn he had killed himself. Refusing to participate in the Blood war, he was free game to either side. He was hunted by the tanar’ri, who didn’t take no for an answer, the same was for the baatezu. It was not fun. Maybe one would have thought he would have joined either side, just to sate his blood lust. Maybe he would have if he was still himself but he could feel the damned calmness coming from his sister.

He need his blood lust, but every dream he entered, not by his choice, he stole some of her essence and she his. She was stealing his battle tactics while he got ripped off in the trade and got her empathy. She was learning how to use his sword and how to channel the Bhaal essence, and he was learning to care. It was completely unfit trade. Why would he need to care about anyone else but himself and his sister? She was giving him back the very weakness that had led to his downfall. Tamoko’s betrayal still stung, how else had Anni found him? Of course he had left Winiski bleeding like a stuck pig on the way to the temple... Bah! There was nothing that he could learn from this caring. Anni was showing him weakness, yet how had she managed to get Bhaal to go from trying to control her, to showing her affection?

Bhaal had always favored her. It pissed him off. He was the son that had done much killing for his father, suffered much to repent and here goes Anni on her merry little way not killing, not suffering and she’s the favorite! Towards the end, it had seemed there were two Bhaals inside of him, the taint that demanded the death of all his siblings and Bhaal the father who put him down for not taking care of his sisters. Oh yes, he knew about Imoen, but she wasn’t his sister. Oh she shared the same taint as him but it was so little it hardly mattered. He could not think of her fluffy pinkness related to him. Then there was the other, Jessie, with her ferret Boba. Bhaal had wanted him to protect them too. Jessie was somewhere in Amn back then, when he was alive. He had never considered her a sister either, nor did he count the other Bhaalspawn he had killed as family. Only Anni had ever mattered to him.

Back to the matter at hand, he could think and fight at the same time, you know. He was faced with three opponents, he remembered all three. One was Tyron a paladin of Torm, he had wanted to smite the evil Bhaalspawn and didn’t realize he was one too, then there was Olivia, a rich noble who he slit her throat and last was Trixie the blasted pixie, he had stepped on her. It was doing the world a favor, something so little was worthless and annoying. The three of them had gained battle experience since he had last seen them. The very fact that they still existed, surprised him. Trixie was buzzing around him, her tiny sword causing him pin pricks in the most uncomfortable places. Tyron was using his broad sword to try to get through his defenses, while Olivia was on his back trying to find a place to stab him in the neck.

“By Torm, I will see your evilness destroyed and my soul freed!” The paladin shouted. Sarevok was fighting one handed, while the other hand was trying to get the noble bitch off his back.

“Hehehe. Let’s sing the doom song! Doom doom doom doom doom!” Trixie started in her high pitched voice.

“Let’s not and die instead!” He swatted at her as she tried to go for the eyes. Olivia managed to find a spot and slammed her dagger into his collarbone, he heard a snap and flipped her off his back, right into the paladin’s sword. Then he did something he would have never done in life, he sheathed his sword and took off running. He didn’t know how long it was that he ran until the portal opened under his feet.

He was not bleeding anymore, nor did he have anymore wounds on him. That was good. Then the bad part hit him. He was chained to a wall, unable to move and down at his feet was a wide eye Anni, no it was Anna. He was back in the temple from so long ago, back before they had been separated.
Things were different, for one he wasn’t a child, he was a full grown man and the girl at his feet was the adult Anna, her long black hair spread like blood under her. A Bhaalist came through the room’s door and pulled off their cowl. Under it was Alianna, their mother.

“Hello, my ungrateful son.” She said. He knew this wasn’t real. -This isn’t real.- He repeated as he closed his eyes. -This isn’t real.-

---

“We’re all going to die. We’re doomed.” Ly repeated for the umpteenth time.

“Stop saying that. Jaheira is the pessimist of the group.”

“No, that would be Edwin.”

“Yes, yes. (Keep gibbering you monkeys.)”

“Edwina there is no reason to be so dour. After all you may catch a wealthy man’s attention and with your beauty you may just bring him sons.” There was a pause. “My, I actually got that out with a straight face.” Jaheira started to laugh in her cage. “Edwina with babies!” The druid was laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach. A small chuckle came from Ly who wouldn’t take her eyes off the window, and a small smile from Anni who had been floating in and out of sleep.

“I will not be having babies!” Edwina screeched like, well, like a monkey.

“Edwin, calm down. Yoshimo and Minsc will find us soon. All will be right.”

“Yes, Yoshimo must be such a great man. (Foolish woman, you have no idea what you have given up.)”

“Edwin what is wrong? That’s not the first time today that you spoke to me like that and you won’t look at anyone.” Edwina’s cage was on the far right, Anni next to her, then Jaheira and Ly on the other end, staring out the window. The cages were pressed tightly together, the doors held close by a single thick metal bar. Ly had managed to unlock her end, using her necklace, but Edwina hadn’t, or more appropriately, wouldn’t try to unlock her end. The woman turned to face her with a tear soaked face and reached through bars and grabbed Anni by the hair.

“You are cheating on me you bitch. (To think I invested time in this.) Tell me where did you sleep last night?”

“Ow! Edwin I am doing no such thing!”

“Then explain to me why I saw you in his arms, holding on to him as if for dear life? (When you have only done that with me. With me!)”

“I can’t explain it. We don’t know who is watching or listening.” Edwina let go of her with enough force to cause her to bang her head on the other side of the cage.

“I don’t want your explanations! I hope you get sold as a sex slave, it’s your only use.”

“Edwina, you fool! Watch your words, you have no idea what you are speaking of!” Jaheira hissed.

“Then why doesn’t someone tell me? (I know, because it would be all lies!)”

“Maybe you haven’t thought of the fact that we’re all going to die, at least I am and we’ll never see each other again. Maybe you should just tell him...er her.” Ly suggested.

“Why do you keep saying we’re going to die?”

“I know of this slaving route, it passes over Ust Natha. The drow city from where I escaped. They will first allow the drow to inspect their goods, Jaheira you are promised to go to Calimshan but we are not. They will kill me, torture me if I’m recognized. Anni will make for good spell components and they will see Edwina as a challenge. That is if Nedylene and Zesstra are on duty like always. My cousins. They allowed me to escape once but swore they would not allow me to again, especially if I look like this.” She motioned at her naked body. “If only I could get this ring off.” She mumbled as she pulled at said ring.

“By Silvanus you’re right. Edwina we must put aside all your petty differences and escape.”

“Petty? PETTY!?” Edwina shouted.

---

“Now my son, let’s see if we can get my little bitch of a daughter to join us.” Alianna said. She stepped over her daughter’s body and rounded on the chained Sarevok. “I know what you did to that ring. A soul bind, is it not Sarevok?”

“This isn’t real.” Was all he said. His mother brought back her hand and slapped him across the face.

“Oh I promise you this is real. Everything done here is real.” She slammed his bald head into the stone behind it. “You are just a little older now but once again at my mercy.”

“THIS ISN”T REAL!” He screamed at her. She chuckled and went to his hand where a ring crafted with Bhaalspawn essence stayed on his finger. It was a wide gold band with a large amber stone holding an small obsidian stone. It was part of a set, one for him, the other for Anna, except hers was smaller and more feminine. It had been symbolic, the amber represented him and the obsidian her. It was a reminder that he would always protect her.

He had really screwed that to the Abyss... It also served another purpose, it allowed him to always find her as long as she wore it. He had meant to tell her about the specialness of the rings, but in his madness, he had only used it to track her. Maybe she had found the way to use it the same way, maybe Tamoko hadn’t betrayed him after all.

“Oh, this ring is so special. I know how you pull yourself from this place into her realm, but did you know I can pull her here, my wonderful son?”

“No, no you can’t.”

“Oh but I can just watch.”

---

Edwina was red in the face about ready to give her companion the verbal blasting they deserved but when she opened her mouth, a scream interrupted her.

“No, this isn’t real!” Anni held her hands out in front of her, they were see through, slowly starting to disappear.

---

The Anna on the floor twitched, her hands moving under her, the head moving up to met his eyes.

“Sarevok?” Her eyes narrowed as she looked him in the eyes. “Where am I? Oh gods not you!” She scrabbled backwards when she saw Alianna. “Sarrey, help me!” She screamed in a high pitched voice.

“Ah, there we go.” Alianna said as she removed her hand away from his ring. She pulled out her kukri and started towards her daughter.

---

“No, someone help me!” Anni was screaming, high pitch and pitiful, like a trapped rabbit. Edwina tried to grabbed for her but her hand just went through her lover’s body.

“Anni! Don’t you dare die on me. (Not like this. Please not like this.)” A gash opened up on Anni’s throat and tore it’s why across her neck. Her eyes were wide and the light behind them died. “NO!!” Anni’s half-visible body dissipated, leaving behind her pink disk she wore around her neck. “Anni, no, this isn’t happening. This can’t be happening.”

“Phraktos xsa'ol! That hurt!” Jaheira and Edwin turned startled eyes to Ly’s cage at the sound of twisting metal. There stood an all white Deva where Ly once sat. The creature tossed Jaheira a black finger with a ring on it. “Hold on to that for me, I’ll need you to restore it to me once I get us out of here.” The Deva blinked and stared at the two women. “What never seen an albino drow that’s also a Deva with wings before? Newbies.” It scoffed. “Now let’s see about these cages.” And so the creature set to work on the cages as the two women just watched.

I'd think the Tanar'ri would be more interested in him than the Baatezu, due to his chaotic nature. But, yeah, someone like him would be an asset to any infernal army.

Bhaal had always favored her. It pissed him off. He was the son that had done much killing for his father, suffered much to repent and here goes Anni on her merry little way not killing, not suffering and she’s the favorite!

A little sibling rivalry, here? Ah, but then again, when dad is a god, every sibling rivalry can hardly be called trivial.

Trixie the Pixie? With a name like that, it's no big loss...

“Hehehe. Let’s sing the doom song! Doom doom doom doom doom!” Trixie started in her high pitched voice.


Hey, she stole that from a cute kobold! She deserved to be stepped on. ;)

“I will not be having babies!” Edwina screeched like, well, like a monkey.


Well, she does have the right plumbing for it atm. :D

“Then explain to me why I saw you in his arms, holding on to him as if for dear life? (When you have only done that with me. With me!)”

A Drow for sale. If only it were Vic, then I'd seriously have to see how much money's in my bank account right now... :D

Maybe one would have thought he would have joined either side, just to sate his blood lust. Maybe he would have if he was still himself but he could feel the damned calmness coming from his sister.


Heh, tough luck Sarry! :) So he's refusing to take part in the Blood War...yes I imagine that'd make him a very hunted shade.

He need his blood lust, but every dream he entered, not by his choice, he stole some of her essence and she his. She was stealing his battle tactics while he got ripped off in the trade and got her empathy. She was learning how to use his sword and how to channel the Bhaal essence, and he was learning to care. It was completely unfit trade. Why would he need to care about anyone else but himself and his sister? She was giving him back the very weakness that had led to his downfall. Tamoko’s betrayal still stung, how else had Anni found him? Of course he had left Winiski bleeding like a stuck pig on the way to the temple... Bah! There was nothing that he could learn from this caring. Anni was showing him weakness, yet how had she managed to get Bhaal to go from trying to control her, to showing her affection?


Very interesting, them influencing each other like this. And learning how to care isn't so bad, Sarevok, you may realize that eventually.


Back to the matter at hand, he could think and fight at the same time, you know. He was faced with three opponents, he remembered all three. One was Tyron a paladin of Torm, he had wanted to smite the evil Bhaalspawn and didn’t realize he was one too, then there was Olivia, a rich noble who he slit her throat and last was Trixie the blasted pixie, he had stepped on her.

Only a short passage, but I got interested in these three...pity about the little pixie.

He was not bleeding anymore, nor did he have anymore wounds on him. That was good. Then the bad part hit him. He was chained to a wall, unable to move and down at his feet was a wide eye Anni, no it was Anna. He was back in the temple from so long ago, back before they had been separated.

Ooooh dear. Bad, bad, bad mojo going on there. Poor Sarevok. :cry:

I hope not...would be hard to explain that to her mother!


“You are cheating on me you bitch. (To think I invested time in this.) Tell me where did you sleep last night?”


“Ow! Edwin I am doing no such thing!”


“Then explain to me why I saw you in his arms, holding on to him as if for dear life? (When you have only done that with me. With me!)”


Poor 'Dwina... :(

“I know of this slaving route, it passes over Ust Natha. The drow city from where I escaped. They will first allow the drow to inspect their goods, Jaheira you are promised to go to Calimshan but we are not. They will kill me, torture me if I’m recognized.

Maybe a bit more empathy and he’ll realize the answer to this. :roll:

“Hehehe. Let’s sing the doom song! Doom doom doom doom doom!” Trixie started in her high pitched voice.


She seems to be the least annoying one…

I hope not, she would become utterly insufferable, probably even driven insane. ;)

“Then explain to me why I saw you in his arms, holding on to him as if for dear life? (When you have only done that with me. With me!)”


“I can’t explain it. We don’t know who is watching or listening.” Edwina let go of her with enough force to cause her to bang her head on the other side of the cage.

Eeeek… Edwina as a woman is far nastier! (Yes, I wonder why that would be…) :)

“By Silvanus you’re right. Edwina we must put aside all your petty differences and escape.”


“Petty? PETTY!?” Edwina shouted.


Compared to being raped and then killed, yeah… petty. :)

“Sarevok?” Her eyes narrowed as she looked him in the eyes. “Where am I? Oh gods not you!” She scrabbled backwards when she saw Alianna. “Sarrey, help me!” She screamed in a high pitched voice.


“Ah, there we go.” Alianna said as she removed her hand away from his ring. She pulled out her kukri and started towards her daughter.


Uh. Eeek? I thought that Alliana bitch was dead, cremated and forgotten about…

“Phraktos xsa'ol! That hurt!” Jaheira and Edwin turned startled eyes to Ly’s cage at the sound of twisting metal. There stood an all white Deva where Ly once sat.

“By Silvanus you’re right. Edwina we must put aside all your petty differences and escape.”



“Petty? PETTY!?” Edwina shouted.


:roll:

:)


“No, someone help me!” Anni was screaming, high pitch and pitiful, like a trapped rabbit. Edwina tried to grabbed for her but her hand just went through her lover’s body.



“Anni! Don’t you dare die on me. (Not like this. Please not like this.)” A gash opened up on Anni’s throat and tore it’s why across her neck. Her eyes were wide and the light behind them died. “NO!!” Anni’s half-visible body dissipated, leaving behind her pink disk she wore around her neck. “Anni, no, this isn’t happening. This can’t be happening.”



“Phraktos xsa'ol! That hurt!” Jaheira and Edwin turned startled eyes to Ly’s cage at the sound of twisting metal. There stood an all white Deva where Ly once sat. The creature tossed Jaheira a black finger with a ring on it. “Hold on to that for me, I’ll need you to restore it to me once I get us out of here.” The Deva blinked and stared at the two women. “What never seen an albino drow that’s also a Deva with wings before? Newbies.” It scoffed. “Now let’s see about these cages.” And so the creature set to work on the cages as the two women just watched.


Interesting imagry all around. Good story.


Thankee.

Chapter 28 - Prisoners, Aren’t we all?



Sarevok cursed his fortune, it would be his luck that he would run into the Bhaalspawn he had killed himself. Refusing to participate in the Blood war, he was free game to either side. He was hunted by the tanar’ri, who didn’t take no for an answer, the same was for the baatezu. It was not fun. Maybe one would have thought he would have joined either side, just to sate his blood lust. Maybe he would have if he was still himself but he could feel the damned calmness coming from his sister.


Heh, tough luck Sarry! :D So he's refusing to take part in the Blood War...yes I imagine that'd make him a very hunted shade.

Sarevok: Yes, quite. I almost rather hear another letcure on waiting to take over the Sword Coast from Winiski. Maybe I'd listen this time and won't be here.


He need his blood lust, but every dream he entered, not by his choice, he stole some of her essence and she his. She was stealing his battle tactics while he got ripped off in the trade and got her empathy. She was learning how to use his sword and how to channel the Bhaal essence, and he was learning to care. It was completely unfit trade. Why would he need to care about anyone else but himself and his sister? She was giving him back the very weakness that had led to his downfall. Tamoko’s betrayal still stung, how else had Anni found him? Of course he had left Winiski bleeding like a stuck pig on the way to the temple... Bah! There was nothing that he could learn from this caring. Anni was showing him weakness, yet how had she managed to get Bhaal to go from trying to control her, to showing her affection?


Very interesting, them influencing each other like this. And learning how to care isn't so bad, Sarevok, you may realize that eventually.


Sarevok: Bah! Feelings are for weaklings!


Back to the matter at hand, he could think and fight at the same time, you know. He was faced with three opponents, he remembered all three. One was Tyron a paladin of Torm, he had wanted to smite the evil Bhaalspawn and didn’t realize he was one too, then there was Olivia, a rich noble who he slit her throat and last was Trixie the blasted pixie, he had stepped on her. It was doing the world a favor, something so little was worthless and annoying. The three of them had gained battle experience since he had last seen them. The very fact that they still existed, surprised him. Trixie was buzzing around him, her tiny sword causing him pin pricks in the most uncomfortable places. Tyron was using his broad sword to try to get through his defenses, while Olivia was on his back trying to find a place to stab him in the neck.


Only a short passage, but I got interested in these three...pity about the little pixie.

Don't worry they'll be back. :twisted:


He was not bleeding anymore, nor did he have anymore wounds on him. That was good. Then the bad part hit him. He was chained to a wall, unable to move and down at his feet was a wide eye Anni, no it was Anna. He was back in the temple from so long ago, back before they had been separated.
Things were different, for one he wasn’t a child, he was a full grown man and the girl at his feet was the adult Anna, her long black hair spread like blood under her. A Bhaalist came through the room’s door and pulled off their cowl. Under it was Alianna, their mother.



“Hello, my ungrateful son.” She said. He knew this wasn’t real. -This isn’t real.- He repeated as he closed his eyes. -This isn’t real.-


Ooooh dear. Bad, bad, bad mojo going on there. Poor Sarevok. :(


:roll: Yes poor him.


“Edwina there is no reason to be so dour. After all you may catch a wealthy man’s attention and with your beauty you may just bring him sons.” There was a pause. “My, I actually got that out with a straight face.” Jaheira started to laugh in her cage. “Edwina with babies!” The druid was laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach. A small chuckle came from Ly who wouldn’t take her eyes off the window, and a small smile from Anni who had been floating in and out of sleep.



“I will not be having babies!” Edwina screeched like, well, like a monkey.


I hope not...would be hard to explain that to her mother!


I'd love to see that reaction!


“You are cheating on me you bitch. (To think I invested time in this.) Tell me where did you sleep last night?”



“Ow! Edwin I am doing no such thing!”



“Then explain to me why I saw you in his arms, holding on to him as if for dear life? (When you have only done that with me. With me!)”


Poor 'Dwina... :lol:

Don't worry she'll have a time to have things explained and apologize.


“I know of this slaving route, it passes over Ust Natha. The drow city from where I escaped. They will first allow the drow to inspect their goods, Jaheira you are promised to go to Calimshan but we are not. They will kill me, torture me if I’m recognized. Anni will make for good spell components and they will see Edwina as a challenge. That is if Nedylene and Zesstra are on duty like always. My cousins. They allowed me to escape once but swore they would not allow me to again, especially if I look like this.” She motioned at her naked body. “If only I could get this ring off.” She mumbled as she pulled at said ring.


Ouch. :)


Yes indeed.


Edwina was red in the face about ready to give her companion the verbal blasting they deserved but when she opened her mouth, a scream interrupted her.



“No, this isn’t real!” Anni held her hands out in front of her, they were see through, slowly starting to disappear.


:)


;)


“Phraktos xsa'ol! That hurt!” Jaheira and Edwin turned startled eyes to Ly’s cage at the sound of twisting metal. There stood an all white Deva where Ly once sat. The creature tossed Jaheira a black finger with a ring on it. “Hold on to that for me, I’ll need you to restore it to me once I get us out of here.” The Deva blinked and stared at the two women. “What never seen an albino drow that’s also a Deva with wings before?

Now there's one twist I didn't see coming!


There's many more coming.

Maybe a bit more empathy and he’ll realize the answer to this. :)

Anni: I think he's a little thick headed, it'll take more than that.

Sarevok: I heard that!

Anni: ;)

“By Torm, I will see your evilness destroyed and my soul freed!” The paladin shouted. Sarevok was fighting one handed, while the other hand was trying to get the noble bitch off his back.


“Hehehe. Let’s sing the doom song! Doom doom doom doom doom!” Trixie started in her high pitched voice.


She seems to be the least annoying one…

Sarevok: You try getting stabbed in the ass by that thing and tell me it's not annoying. Worse than cats.

“Edwina there is no reason to be so dour. After all you may catch a wealthy man’s attention and with your beauty you may just bring him sons.” There was a pause. “My, I actually got that out with a straight face.” Jaheira started to laugh in her cage. “Edwina with babies!” The druid was laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach.

I hope not, she would become utterly insufferable, probably even driven insane. :)

But wouldn't that be funny? :twisted:

“Then explain to me why I saw you in his arms, holding on to him as if for dear life? (When you have only done that with me. With me!)”


“I can’t explain it. We don’t know who is watching or listening.” Edwina let go of her with enough force to cause her to bang her head on the other side of the cage.


“I don’t want your explanations! I hope you get sold as a sex slave, it’s your only use.”


Eeeek… Edwina as a woman is far nastier! (Yes, I wonder why that would be…) :(

Three letters: PMS

“By Silvanus you’re right. Edwina we must put aside all your petty differences and escape.”


“Petty? PETTY!?” Edwina shouted.


Compared to being raped and then killed, yeah… petty. :D

Edwina: I don't care this is about me!(Not about these simians.) I of course will be treated with the upmost respect and those Drow will find me irresible.

“Sarevok?” Her eyes narrowed as she looked him in the eyes. “Where am I? Oh gods not you!” She scrabbled backwards when she saw Alianna. “Sarrey, help me!” She screamed in a high pitched voice.


“Ah, there we go.” Alianna said as she removed her hand away from his ring. She pulled out her kukri and started towards her daughter.


Uh. Eeek? I thought that Alliana bitch was dead, cremated and forgotten about…

Nope just dead. Never forgotten after all she was Sarevok's first kill.

“Phraktos xsa'ol! That hurt!” Jaheira and Edwin turned startled eyes to Ly’s cage at the sound of twisting metal. There stood an all white Deva where Ly once sat. The creature tossed Jaheira a black finger with a ring on it. “Hold on to that for me, I’ll need you to restore it to me once I get us out of here.” The Deva blinked and stared at the two women. “What never seen an albino drow that’s also a Deva with wings before?

Err… :roll: What’s going on?


Ly's half deva and she just broke free. Don't worry there'll be plenty of shocks to come.
