Chapter 2: What Comes Around Goes Around
I nodded to him and made my way through. I entered to find a druid sitting down, he was very skinny with dark brown hair his eyes were a light green. I also realized he had not on mark of battle on him.
"Ashyra I presume," I said to him politely.
"Yes," he got up with a smile and kissed my hand, "and you are?"
I took my hand away from him and stood up straight, "I am Shassadee from Luclin I am here by orders of King Raja."
"Ah yes, you are the one for the peace treaty." He smiled again, I became disgusted immediately by the way he was.
"Yes, I am here for the peace treaty, I need to know what you want in order to stop this war." I told him very strongly.
"Well what I want and all the wizards and druids are all of Kunark, with no Iksars on our land." He said simply.
"That is impossible to have every Iksar gone from Kunark just so you can the land, it's not even yours." I said to him hoping his small mind would realize.
"Well that's what we want and the war will not stop until we have it." He looked at me and sat back down in his seat.
I saw then little sparkles of light flash from his eyes, I knew he had placed a spell on himself but had no clue which it was. He got up from his seat and stood next to me.
"You know, a Vah Shir tigress like yourself does really deserve to be in battle," he said pointing at my scars, "and a tigress like yourself doesn't deserve to even live."
His staff let out a strong fire, which went to my eyes, I fell down and not realizing that my pet was not let into the camp the bag was helpless. I heard him snarl as I saw him hold the baby up with his hands. I quickly for the baby's protection drew out my claws and hit him in the face and let out a large roar. I quickly caught the baby and held it close to me. I looked down on Ashyra whose face was covered in blood from my claws.
"You will pay for helping a filth of a child like that," he said to me as he blasted me with a spell. The baby fell on the ground as I felt the spell hit me, my felt as if whips were hitting me brutally. I ran to him and began clawing every bit of him there was. I was finally joined by my pet who had safely put the still sleeping baby Iksar in a safe corner. I placed a spell on my pet that shocked Ashyra everytime he tried to hit my pet or me. My body felt numb and I then lost the feeling of my knees and fell, I yelled out me my pet to continue fighting as I went to my bag for a vial. Ashyra still shocked my body as I searched for the vial but grew weak as my pet attacked him. I finally found the vial I was looking for.
"It time to place an end to this havoc," I threw the on the ground near him. The vial broke and then a mist went into the air as skulls surrounded him. The potion was killing him slowly and painfully every time he threw a spell he lost an ounce of his life. I regained feeling in my knees and got up, I went up to him knowing he was close to death. He was on his knees begging for the pain to stop, he deserved every ounce of it. Every Iksar he killed ever Iksar child he killed, he deserved everything that was coming to him. I gashed his chest across with my claws as he fell back, once hitting the floor he was dead. I looked over his blood-covered body and spit over it. I struggled to walk to the other side of the tent to check if the baby was okay. My pet went on back to the Vah Shir camp to inform the King what has happened. I held on the baby Iksar and I slowly saw everything go dark.
I woke up the next morning all healed and refreshed. I had a cleric standing in front of me.
"My, my, you are a strong one, you were an inch away from death." The cleric told me, "You are certainly lucky."
I gave a small smile and thanked him very much. Then the thought of the little Iksar came unto my mind.
"How is th-," I tried to complete the sentence but the cleric interrupted.
"The baby is fine nice and healthy again she is just sleeping a little." He smiled.
Then King Raja walked into the room. "Ah Shassadee, I see you've healed perfectly, how are you?"
"I am fine my King," I looked up at him, "Is the war over?"
A large smile came from the King, "Yes it is finally over, but I found out something very interesting."
I became very curious, "What is it, my Lord?"
"It seems that Ashyra lied to all the wizards and the druids, he told them that we and the Iksars were planning to attack them and that they should strike first." He said to me.
I became very shocked, "So your basically saying that he did was he usually does he befriends and then he backstabs just for his use."
The King nodded, "Yes exactly."
I was very glad that the war was over, everything became peaceful again. Well not everything, there are still some Iksars that will never trust a druid or a wizard again which is a normal thing to feel after everything. All of the damage and lies Ashyra said to all the wizards and druid that started this war left a mark that will probably never leave. Everytime a wizard or a druid comes into the lands of Kunark they have to be wary of where they go because of the now feeling between the Iksars and them. I am sad to see that there are now problems between the races but to me I am glad the war is over no one deserves to die, except for Ashyra. I am finally going back to Luclin with the little baby who I have now named Jeshickah. I will keep my promise I've made to her brothers and sisters and I will keep a promise I made with myself, I promise to have her trained with her Iksar relatives when she becomes old enough.
