Riza stat in the warm spring, one of the perks about House Do'Urden was the baths that they had which were comparable to some of the more luxurious ones back on Earth. Kiras really wanted to track Visage down right after they finished the last blood awakening for the deronn. All of the Drow of the House Do'Urden were finished so they were starting on the monsters.

Neither Riza nor Kiras were entirely sure if blood awakening even worked on monsters. They told the Kobolds and Goblins that they could die if it didn't work. One brave Kobold volunteered and the others all backed out when his body exploded in such a dramatic fashion that it sprayed everything in a lovely red including Riza and Kiras.

So now that all of the Drow in the house had their blood completely awakened they needed to wait for Malice's two dar'taris, Drizzt and Dinin to return from the Melee Magthere or the school of fighters then they can dismantle the Sethric'Frethin so that it wouldn't fall into the hands of Lolth's minions.

Nadia leaned up against her new deity, Riza didn't really like having the young woman fallowing her everywhere like a lost puppy, but she was still getting used to the whole having a worshiper so she wasn't entirely sure how she should interact with her.

I should probably ask Chaos about what I'm supposed to do with her, Riza closed her eyes and thought while patting the young woman's head. Or, if I can get in contact with Eendril again?

Kiras watched them from across the stone tub and snickered. "She really brings out the mi'thia in you Riza."

Riza glanced at the Night Elf before looking down at her contently smiling adopted de'tari. I suppose you're right, she silently replied. I'm still unsure what I'm supposed to do with her now that I've apparently become her goddess.

I think that you're doing fine, Riza got worried when Kiras went quiet and had a face showing that she was also worried. Just don't let her go into your room until V, Vira, Azala or one of the other wives clean up a bit…you know I don't know how Nadia would react if she found out that her goddess was so messy.

Nadia quickly removed herself off of Riza's shoulder and stood up in front of her. "Are you a slob Riza?"

Riza went wide eyed, then glared at the now laughing Night Elf. "You did that on purpose, didn't you Kiras!" She sank down into the tub so that only her eyes were above water.

Nadia stared down at the mostly drowned demoness, placed her hands on her hips and huffed while she waited for an answer.

Riza cautiously looked up at Nadia and used telepathy. Yes, I won't deny that my room is a mess…but, she quickly added. I have gotten a lot better at cleaning up after myself. She closed her eyes and waited for Nadia's reply. Perhaps I'll lose my first patron… I wonder if I'll be setting some kind of record with how fast I can gain then lose my only worshiper. Then again that wouldn't be so bad… maybe I'll try dumping her onto V. She was happy that her smile was hidden underwater. That would be interesting.

Nadia got down into the water in order to find her deity's hands. When she did she grabbed them and brought them out of the water. "Then can I be your maid?" She asked with such a gleam in her eyes that it really worried Riza. Kiras was in hysterics after Nadia said that.

I don't need a maid, Riza replied after the shock wore off. I have a cleaning Doll for that. Her answer made Nadia's ears dip she went from gleeful to demure.

"Is there another way for me to be useful then," Nadia asked looking for hope.

Riza emerged from the water in order to give the girl a hug. "Is that what you're worried about?" Riza was tearing up. "I'm not looking for a servant… nor a slave!" She gently pushed the still worried Drow girl to arm's length. "I am looking for a friend…" Nadia was about to protest, but Riza shook her head. "I'm not like Eendril, I'm not like Chaos…frak! I'm not even like Elindil. I'm a Meserino Demoness so my kids are going to do things my way. If you really want some commandments then here's mine!"

Nadia and Kiras were now paying close attention, but Nadia's eyes lit up once more. "First and foremost take care of yourself! Second help all goodly beings around you to the best of your ability! Third be yourself while you're around you deity…" Riza pressed her hand to Nadia's cheek and leaned in. "Please that one is for my sake..." Nadia placed her own hand on top of Riza's, leaned into it before she closed her eyes and smiled. After Nadia gave her a nod she reopened her eyes.

"Good the last thing is to defeat all of the evils that you encounter!" Nadia's eyes snapped open because of the way Riza said that. "Even, if some deronn that evil might be your very own deity."

Nadia tried to shake her head, and even Kiras gasped before going wide eyed and had her mouth covered with both of her hands.

"But you're nothing like Lolth or Skath!" Nadia had tears running down her face. "How could I ever raise my sword…sorjin against you…I love you Riza…you were the one who taught me what love even is and now that I've found it you're telling me to kill it…to kill you?"

"If I ever loose myself to the darkness the way that Skath did," Riza sternly replied. "Then yes it will become your duty to stop me."

"Not very forgiving of yourself are you Riza," Visage entered the room without either of his wives even noticing. "And here I thought that was my job?"

"I'm not saying that I'll ever become as bad as Skath but it's nice to have some insurance just in case," Riza smiled at her now dumbfounded husband.

"V," Kiras cried. "You really are here!" She jumped up out of the tub and was running over to him but he stopped her in her tracks by using the verse and lifted her into the air. She swung her arms and pouted. "Why!" She demanded.

"I'm only here to drop these two off," Visage used his thumb to point to the two Drow women behind him. He turned around. "These are the ones that you're actually looking for." He walked between the pair of identical looking Drow women and placed a hand on each of their shoulders. "Now that my job is done I'm out of here." He vanished in a blink.

"Visage wait," Kiras cried holding out her hand when she was no longer being held up by his verse power she was about to fall to the stony floor but she tapped into her own indren'freth and kept herself aloft.

"Eendril told me that Visage is really busy Kiras," Riza held onto Nadia while she turned to face the pair of twin Drow. "So don't go bothering him right now…" Her eyes went from the floating pouting naked Night Elf to the two new Drow Elves who were staring at the three of them.

"Are you Kiras?" Saliya asked the levitating Night Elf.

Kiras righted herself and placed her feet on the floor. She folded her arms under her chest and walked over to the two new Drow that Visage had apparently handed over to her. "Yes," Kiras puffed out her chest at them making them blush and back away. "I am Kiras. Did my husband bring you here for a reason?"

Riza not wanting any part of the nice mess that Visage had dropped on them got back down into the tub. Nadia of course followed her to sit next to her.

"Aren't you going to," Nadia glanced at the oddly dressed Drow. "You know help Kiras out or something?"

Riza closed one eye and had the other only cracked open. "Nope," she flatly stated. "I've also told you this, but Meserino Demons are incredibly lazy!"

Nadia began snickering then broke out into full blown laughter. "And with that attitude you think that you could ever turn into a being like Lolth or Skath."

Riza gave her a slight smirk. "There is always a chance."

"Yeah, right!" Kiras huffed making the two women in front of her rather confused. "A Meserino Demon becoming anything like either of those slith holes is slim to none!" She said with conviction and absolution, she even nodded her head agreeing with herself.

"Uh," Dalia quietly spoke. "Visage…your husband told us that you were the goddesses we were really looking for?"

"Most likely," Riza replied. "Apparently he's been keeping both his indren'freth and verse powers so low I wasn't even able to feel his presence…" she gave Kiras a quick glance. "and that's saying something right Kiras…" She didn't answer. "Kiras?"

"But why didn't he stay with us," Kiras pouted before she stepped in toward the two strange Drow he'd dumped onto her because of course Riza wasn't going to be of any help. "Did he tell you two anything?"

They both nodded.

"Great," Kiras turned on her heels. "Now the both of you get undressed and get in the tub you both smell like a wet blort worm's back."

"Oh," Nadia exclaimed. "Is that what that smell is?"

"Is it really that bad," Dalia asked her sri'na.

Saliya sniffed her arm and winced. "I think so."

They both nodded to each other and started to strip. Soon after all five beings where sitting in the tub. Of course the two Darksong Knights introduced themselves. The pair of sri'nas that weren't twins even though they looked so much alike, told them how their goddess Eilistraee had requested that they travel to Menzoberranzan in order to find them and rescue them.

They even told Riza and Kiras about their husband Visage who had apparently adopted two young Drow girls from an attack by the same house that they were now protecting, which was a bit unnerving to hear. Even though they all knew that the real fault lies with the damned bug and after Saliya and Dalia spoke with both survivors of House DeVir they told them that they don't wish to seek revenge.

Riza and Kiras laughed when Saliya and Dalia told them that Visage actually came though a temporal rift about thirty years ago and had been living in his starship the Vengeance in a giant cavern right next to the svirfnebli home of Blingdenstone.

For the last twenty five years he's been assisting them with their mining expeditions and even going out with his two adopted de'taris Kindra and Naileen to do some mining of their own. While in the midst of their conversation Briza and Vierna walked in, so some of the information had to be retold just for curtsy sake. Both former Lolth priestesses were stunned to find two of Eilistraee's followers in Menzoberranzan.

Briza actually liked them and she wanted to know more about Eilistraee and compare her to her new goddess Elindil. Every being told her that she should wait till they had time for religious discussions because now the most pressing thing is what was to be done with House Do'Urden now that they were enemies with all of Menzoberranzan.

Vierna and Briza told them that they were waiting for their younger ber'nans to come home from Melee Magethere before any real plans could be made. Riza then made the suggestion that they go and get Drizzt before he graduates and to tell Dinin to come home as well.

"Are you fraking kidding me," Malice yelled from her new throne that wasn't adorned with a single spider emblem, but was adorned with a moon and a red eyeball. "Not only did you bring priestesses of Eilistraee into our home but you want me to allow them to stay?"

"Of course," Riza replied. "I mean Lolth has already excommunicated your House so what else can she possibly do…" Malice face palmed and sunk into her chair, but Riza wasn't going to stop there. "Besides isn't it nice to find more Drow Elves who are good and that there is another goddess that's good as well?"

"Nope," Malice shook her head. "We're doomed!"

"No we're not," Nadia stepped up to the throne, grabbed the armrests of the chair leaned over and glared at her aunt. "We have my deity Riza and we've got the most powerful light warrior this side of Ao's universe,—" she turned and nodded to Kiras who gave her a smirk and slight bow in thanks. "—and he's even afraid of them so who cares what Lolth or any of her slaves think!"

Malice removed her hand from her face to look at the earnest young Drow. There seemed to be a bright fire behind those silver eyes of hers. Malice closed her eyes and tapped into her own newfound power. Nadia had to quickly step away when Malice rose from her chair, her body surrounded by black-green flames.

"You're right Nadia," Malice clenched her right fist. "Neither Lolth…" she shook her head. "No… that insect nor her followers knows or even understands the power our House now wields though…" she stared in Riza and Kiras's direction. "We still don't fully understand it nor do we know how to properly use it…" Malice powered down and sighed. "Last night I accidentally blew a hole in the wall without even trying to." She frowned. "I wasn't even that mad… at least not at the wall!"

Every being broke out in snickers or laughter.

"Don't worry Malice," Kiras abruptly grabbed Riza's shoulders.

What is she up to now, Riza thought, but was only answered with a conniving grin. Oh no…Kiras you don't…

"We've got one of the most powerful zah'harrim verse wielders here with us," Kiras boasted. "Riza here is one of the Judicators on the Council of the Imperial Shadow Knights. I'm sure that she can teach you everything you need to know about using your newfound powers!"

Riza angrily glared at Kiras who still had that conniving grin on her face.

"Kiras," Riza scathed. "Do you really expect me to take on over three-hundred apprentices and train them all…" she gave the Night Elf a doubtful and disapproving look. "Seriously?"

All of the newly awakened Drow Elves in the throne room starting giving Riza hope filled eyes which made Riza's right eye twitch. "There is no way I'm doing this alone…"

"Of course you won't be alone Riza," Kiras proudly announced. "Because I'm going to help you!"

"Yippy," Riza unenthusiastically replied while spinning her index finger in the air.

"Yes," Malice retook her seat. "This is all well and good," she glanced at Riza and then at all of her de'taris. "But first would some being please go and get my dar'taris out of that fraking academy!"

"Yes," Briza, Vierna, Maya, and Riza all quickly replied.
