Part two- Intimates and familiars

/1/ Kaleer

Lucivar waited for an answer from the young witch in front of him. /she's so young, and so troubled/ he asked his question again hoping for an answer from the taciturn girl.

"What's you name?"

"I- it's Dulcinea"

/good she's at least answering me/

"Dulcinea, are you from Kaleer?"

"N-no, I'm from Terrielle."

"Where in Terrielle?"

"I'm not sure exactly,..it was a castle of a building but..they never let me outside...we had to fly a horribly long time to get to a gate, somehow we got through at the sleeping dragons. or at least I did"

"Who was with you?"

"My familiar,. Danethylde. She's a wolf pup, and we must find her.or they'll kill her to get to me.."

"your familiar?"

"Danethylde is to me like, gray's fang is to surreal, Dujal was to Wilhelmina and like Ladvarian and Kaelas were to Janelle and Daemon."

"If they kill Danethylde,..I.I."

Lucivar looked at the girl who was very close to breaking, tears welling in her expressive green eyes. He closed his eyes before speaking softly.

"We'll help you find her, Daemon, Luthvian and I"

"Thank-you, she hiding out at , um.The Khalhadharon run, please hurry, They're searching as well."

Then her voice changed and Lucivar started, it was no longer the voice of a young distraught girl but a voice full of shadows and magic soft and flowing and yet steely.

Her eyes changed as well to a dark, dark green the color of a forest.

"You will not hurt her I swear it upon the lady's of darkness."

Her voice was like wind soft for the moment but ready turn into a gale.

/2/ Terrielle

Shiori Dasmeori was red jeweled black widow witch. Her hair was of the darkest black showing off her golden skin. Her eyes were a deep golden though they were rather cold and reserved. She stood in the window of a magnificent castle. Her eyes searched the horizon as if looking for an answer. Her long black tinted nails were loosely gripping the stone sill. She was in this new world, a scientist. She wished only for knowledge thirsting for it at all times. So in a manner of speaking, this was her laboratory. Here she helped those around her without actually having to be around the idiotic people who now populated Terrielle.

Her home village had been a kind place to her as a child. There in the small but comfortable house she her mother and her father shared she had learned. Learned how when you held certain animals under water for more than a minute or two they died or almost did anyway.

Her first experiments had resulted in the loss of life, but after a while that didn't happen anymore. People said she was evil, but she protested,...in the name of science. Her latest tests were on a very powerful young girl and a kindred wolf. The girl wore no jewel as far as Shiori could tell but her unbridled power was astronomical.

The girl also had an amazingly high tolerance for pain. However Shiori was rather.annoyed. The girl had learned how to block the pain so that she didn't really feel it anymore, this wasn't any help to Shiori who inflicted pain upon the girl no only to test her limits but to see how she dealt with it. It was an interesting maneuver though. It was like turning off emotions.

The girl wasn't very old. Fifteen at the most, having never made an offering to the darkness..or had she. Shiori's eyes narrowed. It wouldn't be impossible. True she had found the child wandering no more than seven or eight years but she could have made the offering for that and over the years she had slipped away more than just a few times. At any of those points she could have made the offering. Hell's Fire, she could be making the offering at this moment. Shiori began to pace, this was bad, very very bad. The girl was already extremely powerful, one of the only ways she could get the girl to let males near her was to drug her, powerfully. If not the girl tended to go cold.

Shiori's mouth then quirked up into a very feral very deadly smile. The girl was rather.fond of her wolf pup. If the pup was threatened the girl would concede willingly. She called out on a opal thread to her highest ranking male

*Alamor, please go and fetch Dulcinea's little pet, I'll put together the welcoming party.*

She did not wait for an answer, her males were obedient immediately,.or they paid the price.

Allright. As always please read and review that way I can decide which way the story will go
