H.A.: This is my first DnD fic. I love DnD and the mind flayers so I just HAD to do this.

Multiple illithids surrounded the pool as a ceremorphism happened. There was talk of a possible Ulitharid coming from the only larvae of Igthor, offspring of the Ulitharid Igthor. They chose a drow of the height of 6'2" as a possible candidate. It had been about ten days since the larvae had inhabited the humanoid.
Igthor, a most renowned tactician and commander, stood in patient silence when the ceremorphism finished. He had been in many wars against Gith and many other species. His only loyal companion was a wolf demon he spiritually bonded with. He stood the tallest of all the illithids due to his host, a Githyanki of 6'5".
The illithids mentally gasped when they saw that the new mind flayer wasn't an Ulitharid as most thought but a lanky Illithid with tentacles as long as an Ulitharids. The Illithid was a deep purple and when his eyes opened they were pearly white. They stood in silence as the Illithid slowly got to his feet and stared at Igthor squarely in the eye.
Igthor spoke deeply, "What do you call yourself?"
The Illithid was silent for a moment before speaking in a calm and mannered tone, "Uliferth. Uliferth of Igthor the Ulitharid."
The drow sighed in annoyance at the abnormal Illithid before him, "I told you already. No Mind flayers. Now back off before you become a pin cushion."
Uliferth stood in silence. He wore a traveler's hooded cape and a simple battle uniform. It had been about ten years since his ceremorphism and he was already as powerful as an experience human mage. He left his community when a war broke out between his community and allied dragon clans and a wolf demon clan and their allied clans.
Uliferth sighed, "Very well. I shall sleep in the forest….again….."
The drow groaned, "Fine. You can sleep in the stables…..but no eating the livestock."
Uliferth rolled his eyes and headed to the back of the inn. He was about to relax onto a pile of hay when the door leading into the inn opened. He quickly hid behind an ox before a female Githzarean came into view. He silently gulped at seeing her. He had met very few Giths and lucky for him they were already dead. He had very little melee experience and he knew that he wouldn't have enough time to conjure a spell should she attack.
The Gith blinked and looked around. Uliferth froze when she started walking to his direction. He tried to hide more but it caused the ox to move, revealing him to the Gith. He blinked and facepalmed. The Gith froze at him and quickly pulled out a dagger. Before he could move, she pinned him to the ground and tried to stab him in the throat.
Uliferth sighed and mentally shoved her back. He quickly batted the dagger out of her hand and pinned her. She tried to push him off but found that he was pressing down on her pressure points. She glared at him and he winced at the projection of her thoughts and emotions.
The Gith growled, "Aren't you going to kill me Brain Eater?"
Uliferth deadpanned, "If I was wouldn't I have done that already instead of pinning you?"
She blinked and growled, "So you want me to be your thrall instead?"
He sighed and shook his head, "Humanoids…..No. I just want a night of sleep without having to worry about being attacked or being someone else's meal. And that brain eater comment, I only eat brains once a month thank you."
The Gith blinked in surprise before she eyed him suspiciously, "How do I know you're telling the truth?"
Uliferth chuckled, "You're the one pinned, not me. If I kill you now, that would alert your friends that an Illithid is in the area and I wouldn't be able to get any sleep."
The Gith blinked again. She slowly thought it over before sighing. She relaxed which gave Uliferth the signal to let her up. He stretched before handing her the dagger back. Without giving her a second glance, he went back to the pile of hay and lay down. She still eyed him suspiciously before heading back inside.
Uliferth sighed and rolled over onto his side. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, not knowing he was being watched by a couple of Githyanki.
H.A.: I hope you like the first chapter. I created Uliferth in an rp I had with a friend on DA. Hope you enjoyed.
