I have received another request from htffan951, this time about the Myr Mindservant. And I must say that this was perhaps the most difficult one to come up with a workable concept. Hopefully I came up with something that you will enjoy. If not, let me know so I can correct it.

11 - Myr Mindservant
From his perch on a copper limb, an Elf watched as an unfamiliar Myr carelessly walked the paths between the copper foliage of the Tangle. The Myr's body was similar to most other Myrs, but the allow of it's armor was a strange pinkish, perhaps maroon color, a color the Elf had never seen on a Myr before.
The Myr did not seem to notice that an Elf was observing it, or if it had, then it did not give an indication. The Myr was simply strolling through the Tangle with no real thought other than to reunite with other Myr. By itself, a Myr is not protected, and that is a disadvantage in a world full of dangers. The unified mind of a Myr pack logically dictated that there is safety in numbers and this Myr had hoped to rejoin with another pack. Unlike most Myr's, this Myr Mindseverants function was most unusual in general; the ability to alter the mind of a sentient being. It was not psychic nor was it gifted with abilities that could implant false memories or retrieve lost thoughts, only to change and distort the thinking process of its target. And for a construct, this skill was hardly ever used.
It paused and glanced upward with its blank eyes when it heard the rustle of metal limbs overhead. Its survival instinct kicked in and the Myr quicken its pace. But it had barely gotten ten feet down the path when an Elf scout suddenly appeared in front of the Myr with his spear tip aimed at the beak shaped head of the Myr.
"This is no place for you."
The Elf warned. The Myr said nothing.
"Better turn around and go back to your masters."
The Elf instructed, but the Myr did not move, it continued to stare at the Elf with emotionless eyes. The Elf, slowly getting frustrated with the construct, urged his spear closer, hoping to invoke some kind of reaction.
"I said leave!"
There was s sudden humming sound emitting from the Myr and for a moment, the Elf thought the creature was trying to communicate, but soon the humming started to pierce into his brain and the humming intensified.
"What in the name..."
The Elf's mind then began to feel cloudy as though his very thoughts were being distorted. The strain began to hurt and the Elf dropped his weapon to cover his ears in his hands in a vain attempt to block whatever the Myr was doing. He fell to his knees, groaning in agony.
After a moment, the humming stopped and when the Elf opened his eyes, the Myr had gone. The Elf cursed himself for letting the intruder evade him and cursed himself for not anticipating what skills the Myr Mindservant had.
