Chapter VII
The druegar traveled deeper into the Underdark, trying desperately to find more companions to form an attack on the Halls. They were furious, the deep gnomes refused help them to attack the Halls. So they kept going, to the city of Menzoberranzan. Perhap they would recieve help from the drow. It was worth a shot.
Fonwocket Blackhunter was the leader of the small group. He ordered the travel to the deep gnome city and then the treck to Menzoberranzan. The group of twenty was not happy with him at all. His trusted comapnion, Feykar Deathclub,talked about treason against him.
"So they wish to get rid of me?"
Feykar nodded. "Aye. They believe that ye aren't suited to be the leader. They say tis ye's fault that some of our companions have died on the treck."
Fonwocket had declared himself leader, because he was much more smarter than the average gnome. He didn't have much in strength, he served as a overlooker in the mines, and he was also smaller than most druegar. But his battle strategy was excellent.
"Well, as soon as we get the favor of the drow they all will think diffrently. I am the least bit worried."
"How do you ye know that the dark elves will help?"
"I don't."
"Then how in the name of the abyss do ye go on about revenge against the surface dwarves!"
"I just have a gut feeling Feykar. Maybe they want to get rid of the gnomes in Mithral Hall as well. We mwill just have to see."
They traveled the many miles to the dark city. A couple more of the band falling from hunger and the other from exhaustion. Fonwocket ordered them to leave the bodies.
The band just got to the outskirts of Menzobarranazan when Fonwocket ordered them all to stop.
"What's go'in on Fonwocket!" A bulky druegar asked, walking up to his leader.
"We should'nt get any closer than nessecary to the boundaries of Menzobarranazan, it's dangerous."
As he finished the sentence, a pebble fell ahead of them in the cavern. All the druegar stopped and ceased talking all at once.
"What was that?"
"Shh!"
"Hello?" Fonwocket asked in drow. He took a step forward and asked again.
"Why are you druegar here? Go back where you came from!" They heard a female voice shout out. A band of drow jumped from behind huge boulders and deep shadows. It was an all male group with one exception of a female. Her hair was cut short, just brushing her shoulders, and was a fairly normal size for a lady drow.
Fonwocket took a brave step forward, along with Feykar at his side, and took a deep breath. The woman crossed her arms over her chest.
"Greetings, oh beautiful lady, I am Fonwocket, formerly of Mithral Hall."He gave her a graceful bow.
"Formerly?" The females soft but sly voice sent chills down the dark dwarve's spine. "Does the dragon meet his demise?"
Many druegar squeezed the hilts of their newly forged axes and hammers at the remark. Fonwocket calmed them with a movment of his arm. "Yes m' lady. Our leader has been...killed."
"We thought it would happen sooner or later." She said. "Why have you come to Menzoberranzan?"
"We have come seeking help from the drow, m' lady. We wish to take Mithral Hall back. And we seek your help."
She grinned. "Why would we want to help you?"
"We thought Mithral Hall would be a good...addtion to your fair city."
She thought about the druegar's words. The other males discussed it amongst themselves. What the druegar said was actually a good idea, coming from an inferior being that is. Fonwocket bowed again, hiding a smile. He had almost accomplished his plan to get Mithral Hall back in his grasp. He could almost the sweetness that was revenge.
Catti-bie couldn't find Drizzt anywhere. Not five mintues after they got back to the halls, he just dispeared, and no one had seen him for a good three hours. Bruenor and Wulfgar had no idea. She herself had no idea until she got ahold of Regis.
"Regis, have ye seen Drizzt?"
"I'm pretty sure that he's training."
"Train'in? Why would he be train'in? We just got back not to long ago."
"Don't ask me."
Catti-brie narrowed her eye's. Regis tried to look as innocen as possible. "Yer hid'in somethin' Regis."
"No I'm not. I am not hiding anyting whatsoever! Why don't you go look in the training halls? He's more than likely to be there..." Catti-brie looked over him again and turned, walking down the hall. "...with Nieanna."
Catti-brie neared the room and she heard nothing. Not the sound of metal against metal or a few curses. Nothing!
"Drizzt, are ye in here?" She opened the door, in time to see Drizzt getting up from his place beside Nieanna. Catti-brie put a hand on her hip.
"Catti-brie. Hey, did you need something?"
"What were ye guys do'in?"
"We were training, but I guess I wore her out."
Catti-brie motioned for her to follow her out in the hall. Drizzt looked up at Catti-brie and then back at the sleeping form of Nieanna and followed her out of the room. They were near the dining hall when Catti-brie rounded on him.
"What's go'in on with ye and Nieanna?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I mean, are ye and Nieanna...ye know...a couple?"
"Catti-brie, Nieanna and I are not together. I...", he thought about his feelings toward his female drow companion. Nieanna was a talented, beautiful young drow, she was pleasant to be around. "...don't have any feelings for Nieanna other than friendship."
If Drizzt were ever to consider getting into a relationship with Nieanna, he would have to get to know Nieanna herself a little better first.
"Aye, I see." Catti-brie was a little relieved. Her thoughts were still a scrambled when it concerned Drizzt. The feelings for him were still there. Catti-brie just played it off as a school girl crush. "Well, it's almost time for dinner."
"Alright, I'll be back up here in a bit."
Nieanna had already gotten up and was walking back to her room to freshen up and get dressed back in her robes. Despite the pain in her legs, she smiled to herslef. Everytime she thought of Drizt, she felt faint and got a weird feeling in her stomach.
"Am i dying?" She asked herself. Nieanna never wanted this feeling to stop.
And here is yet another chapter readers. I got this awesome idea the other day in English; and let me just say this is going to be a rather long story. R&R
