Her disobedience had cost her a lot. Her brother was a merciless tortuer and Vienna worries for her older sister. Leandra had always been the strong one between the two of them and had always protected her, but seeing her barely able to move was painful for her. Vienna could see the blood soaking her clothes, her hair was a mess, and she was sweating horribly.
" Father wants you." Morgana ordered as she and Thantos waited outside the cell. Vienna didn't want to leave Leandra, but she knew if something were to happen to her Leandra would die and so Vienna kissed her head before following them to where their father sat.
" Hello Vienna how are you sweetheart?" he asked his voice full of false sweetness that it made her want to throw up.
" I'd be better if you hadn't beaten my sister half to death. What do you want father?" Vienna scowled at him.
" Well it seems Leandra is rubbing off on me, because that tone of voice isn't you at all." Sauramon stated and Vienna scoffed at him.
" What do you know about me." Vienna glared.
" I know you care for Leandra however stupid that is. I'll get her medical help if you help me do one thing." Sauramon said and Vienna thought about it. She hated her father and honestly didn't want to help at all, but Leandra would most likely die without the help.
" What is it?" She sighed as a grin lit up his face.
" The Fellowship is going to go through the mines of moria and I want you to awaken the Balog to kill them." He replied and Vienna winced. Their deaths would be on herself, but if she refused the job would go to Thantos who would probably just flat out kill them and so Vienna knew she was their best chance.
" Alright I'll do it, but if I figure out your lying about Leandra then I'll kill you." Vienna threatened. Being a nature Celestial going to the mines would be hard on her, but she'd survive for Leandra.
" I don't doubt it." Sauramon said and Vienna teleported herself to the entrance of the mines. She wanted to spend as little time in the actual mines as she could and so she casted an illusion on herself making her look like a long rock on the ledge. It took the group of ten roughly 2 hours before they group made it to the mines. Vienna recognized Gandalf and Kyrin immediately, but the others were people she had no clue about. Vienna hoped he would survive as she made her way down the ledge she perches on. Though it might not of been her best idea as Gandalf didn't seem to remember the name. Vienna thought about whispering the answer in to his mind, but deemed it to risky and so she sat hidden watching as the halflings threw rocks into the lake. Vienna used this time to study them. There was a elf who looked to be of the royal line, a ranger of the north who Vienna was intrested on why he was here, four halflings no bigger then a young child, and another man who looked to be of royal lineage as well. She was pulled out of her thoughts as one of the halflings spoke up.
" Melon." Gandalf replied and Vienna grinned as the door opened, but unfortunately a huge creature appeared out of the water grabbing the halfling. Vienna frowned not wanting to reveal herself, but if they died here then her father would win and that wasn't something she wanted to happen. She disguised herself as a nature spirit making plants come out of the ground and wrap around it's tentacles also forcing it to drop the halfling.
" You all must go!" She ordered as Gandalf forced the halfling up.
" Come with us." The Ranger said and Vienna shook her head.
" The mines are no place for a nature spirit." Vienna simply stated, but her moment of distraction allowed it to toss her into the suffocating darkness of the mines. Vienna gasped struggling to hold her illision as panic crept into her vision. She tried to focus her mind on Leandra and how she had to make it through the mines for her and she shakily stood up, but the ranger pulled her deeper in as the walls collasped. They all stood there breathing heavily until the elf turned to her.
" I thank you for your help, but who are you?" He asked.
" I am no one of your concern though I must leave these mines are no place for a nature spirit." Vienna repeated with a strained smile.
" But you my dear are no spirit. We mean you no harm, how is your sister?" Gandalf asked and they all looked at her confused. Vienna sighed allowing the illision to fall.
" She's dying." Vienna bit out her eyes watering and Gandalf frowned.
" Vienna I'm so sorry. This is my fault." Kyrin apologized.
" Wait this is your sister." The ranger realized.
" I am and Kyrin don't blame yourself Leandra made her own choice." Vienna sniffled.
" So tell me Vienna why are you here. It's for her isn't it?" Gandalf asked and Vienna nodded her face full of guilt.
" She will die in a week if I don't kill you all." Vienna stated and they gaped at her.
" You're not going to though considering you saved our lives." the ranger realized.
" I'm going to try not to, but I still have to make it look like I am." Vienna replied and they heard a clapping and Vienna whipped around to see her brother Thantos.
" You know I thought Leandra's death would be enough to force you into obedience, but clearly we underestimated your care for her." Thantos spat.
" She is the only thing I care about." Vienna snapped and he laughed at her.
" Then you shouldn't of killed her now you will die far away from her with a bunch of strangers while your sister continues to bleed out." Thantos grinned before he melted into the shadows disappearing from sight.
