Lovers no more ( open )

[Munachi]

Lewla listened eagerly to Dalis' and Dred's conversation. Of course she did not understand the things they said in Drow, but she could guess that Dalis was really going to help her.

Alwis was the very first Pixie that came to her mind, when Dalis asked her. After all, he had been that one she had spend that last evening with, before leaving for the war, if any of the Pixies would believe her, then him. Quickly she scribbled a letter explaining him the situation she was in and about Dred's lies - and about how she was trying to find a way for them to flee, if they just trusted her. SHe wondered how much she should elaborate on Dalis' role in this but decided to just use a hint so slightly no one but Alwis would get it, she didn't want to endanger Dalis more now that she was helping her. And at the same time she knew the Pixie's wouldn't trust a Drow so it was better to make it sound like it would be mostly her own work anyway.

After Dalis had left Lewla waited most nervously. Again and again scenarios of what might go wrong went through her head - and she realized that it was not so much her own life she was worried about...

When Dalis was finally back Lewla felt so relieved she just had to run towards her and hug her. It was a bit strange considering how much shorter than the Drow she was. But of course, the letter had just been a start... She had to think of a plan now, and she feared that it would probably involve more contact, and closer contact with Dred if she would want to find a way to help the others.

OOC I will attempt to fill, hopefully temporarily, the shoes currently vacated by Gothic Shujin, no doubt he will return soon.


" I don't want anyone to get hurt..not my people or you...so.."She gulped a little gazing up at his eyes." What is expected of me?" Her voice was little more then a whisper.

Drudek returned her gaze, if not so fondly, and said coldly "if you don't want anyone to be hurt, why do you persist with this war?"

Yewka looked back shocked he had been so cold with her, and she blinked back some more tears.

He put his hand on his face and rubbed his eyes, then said, "of course I know why you continue to fight, but it is worthless, better to submit than to have your whole people enslaved, don't you think?"

"We would be enslaved anyway if we surrendered to your kind."

"In a sense yes but you would retain much more independence than you would if conquered, do you want your people, every child, every female, every Pixie too old to fight dealt with on the battle field by Dred?"

There was no answer to this as either alternative seemed unacceptable to Yewka. Then she did notice something that Drudeck could not conceal and that was the growing arousal beneath his robe. Almost playfully Yewka touched the spot where she guessed his excitement to be centered.

He smiled back at her and said maybe tonight we can forget what both of us must ultimatly do, and just rejoice in each other's company. " He lifted her up to his lap and embraced her for the first time in years.

"I could be killed, as you noted," he said softly to her now, no trace of the leader and pragmatic politician for the time being.

~~~~~~~~~~

When Lewla hugged her Dalis felt an emotional release and said to her, "Ha, dat bas hard, ut I did it, our Alwis, he gets lettr,"then with sly grin she said added, "he vas bigger dan I ecpected, he mit do in a pinch."

Lewla looked momentarily shocked by Dalis lewd reference and wondered just what she had done with Alwis.

She was about to answer when the door flew open and Dred returned in seemingly good spirits, much better smelling now, he went into the antechamber or his bedroom for a moment and then came out to the two conspirators, who were both waiting to see what he would do next. He looked at them both with that macabre grin of his and said in Pixie, "couldn't wait till I got back could you?'

Dalis tried successfully to hide her anger and Lewla tried to hide her disgust and fear, but not so well as Dalis did, though upon noting her demeanour, Dred found it amusing and said to her, I think I need some more attention and slipping off his robe he reclined, once again naked, on the couch and called Lewla over with a hand gesture. He pointed at his half formed erection and said to her, "very well cat, lick this," and he roughly forced her head to the base of his staff, "start there and work your way up." Then looking at Dalis he said lie down and watch, and get your clothes off cow."

Dalis complyed with poorly concealed anger, and as her robe dropped to the floor and she laid on the couch, Dred laid his head back, with his hands clasped beneath it.

 

[Munachi]

he vas bigger dan I ecpected, he mit do in a pinch. Lewla stared at Dalis. What had she done? She thought of her poor little Alwis, who must have been quite scared of the tall Drow. But then, she realized Dalis must have had to behave rude to him, if she didn't want the guards to realize what is going on.

She was about to ask Dalis about what exactly had happened down there, when the door opened. Seeing Dred enter the room made Lewla automatically want to shrink and hide, she didn't want him to notice her, and she was unable to hide her fear when he spoke to her - his grin made her feel sick. Her reaction seemed to please him more than anything, and soon enough she found herself faced with his huge erection again - he grabbed her hair rudely as he pushed her face to his cock and told her to lick it.

In the corner of her eye she could see Dalis undress, with a not very pleased expression in her face at all, but Lewla decided that it was the best idea to just start doing what Dred had told her. The thought of that they had started to do something against him stirred a feeling of happiness in her that of course she didn't want to show, and thus she carefully started licking at hte base of his cock - as if obliging to him out of fear.

At first her tongue moved at the base, also moving down to his balls a few times, and then slowly, while she felt him stiffening underneath her tongue, she moved up towards the top, never stopping to move her tongue but going slower or faster depending on what part she was at. Finally she reached the top part, and felt the taste of some tiny drops that were there on her tongue... She hesitated for a moment now - she had done what he had told her and wondered what was expected of her next.

 

[OnHarry]

When Lewla hesitated Dred reached to her with one of his hands and pushed the back of her head, forcing her mouth over the head of his now fully formed erection. It was awful for her, as it felt like it would split her mouth open as her lips would not open wide enough to accomodate his girth.

Dalis said something to him in Drow and he grinned at that, and said. "looks like these Pixies just aren't built for Drows are they." Then he placed his hand back on her head forcing her to the head of his cock, then he started to stroke it.

As he stroked he went faster and faster, but never letting go of Lewla's head, fortunatly she had the presense of mind to breath through her nose, then in a sudden wild feral gesture Dred arched up and pushed even harder at Lewla's mouth with his erection, and started to ejaculate into her mouth, so much she felt like she was drowning.

The sticky slimey fluid filled her mouth and when she started to gag, he pulled away laughing at her difficulty, as the sperm ran out of her mouth and nose, while she tryed to regain her composure, which was rather hard with his seminal fluid running out of her.

Dalis went to get up to come to her assistance, but Dred spoke to her sharply, in Drow this time, and whatever he said it made her lie down again, but she would not watch Lewla as she slowly came back to normal. After things had calmed down Dred got up and said in Pixie this time, "I am going to try and sleep for a few hours, whatever you two do, be quiet." With that he went to leave, but before he did he added, "make sure you both are here when I get up, I may want some diversion, I think Dalis you need some more of me in your back door." He laughed at this and left.

After he was gone and the door closed Dalis was off the couch immediatly and over to Lewla, trying to offer what comfort she could.

 

[Fayos]

Yewka

Her head rested on his shoulder." Then what is to happen to us?" she sighed heavily rubbing her wrist annoyed at the enchanted band that kept her from doing anything her "master" didn't wish.

" Can you take this off for me?" Yewka asked hopefully, she could tell my the look in his eyes the answer woudln't be what she wanted to hear.

"Come on Drukeck let's forget about all this nonesence.." SHe gestured at the table bearing her new clothes and collar."Let it just be us again."

There was a long pause before either spoke again the tension could be cut with a knife. " Did you ever marry?" Yewka asked to break Drukecks scilence

 

[Munachi]

Lewla suddenly felt his hand on the back of her head, pressing it down, onto him. She opened her mouth as widely as she could but it was almost impossible for her to even accomodate the top of his cock in her mouth - she felt she must choke, that she couldn't breathe, that she would suffocate. Like from far away she heard Dalis say something and the next moment Dred let go of her for a second and said: looks like these Pixies just aren't built for Drows are they. When he then pushed her head down on his cock again she was a little bit better prepared and managed to at least breathe somewhat through her nose, while he started stroking himself - though after a while she felt that if this continued much longer she would probably die of lack of air.

Just then he arched up - she felt her jaw was about to break he pushed that strongly into her mouth - and his cum filled her mouth, sputtering directly into her throat. There was a strong urge to cough or even vomit but it wasn't possible with the head of his cock still in her mouth and his hands firmly placed on her head. For a few moments Lewla thought that now the moment had come that she was to die.

Finally he let go of her, and the Pixie tumbled away, feeling part of his sperm run back out of her mouth, other parts out of her nose, coughing, sneezing, and she did not know what else at the same time - she had her eyes open but couldn't see anything, and felt that she tripped over something and fell to the floor. There, finally, she got her breath back after a while, still shaking and jerking somewhat, until she finally lay still and wished to just be alone in her misery.

I am going to try and sleep for a few hours, whatever you two do, be quiet. make sure you both are here when I get up, I may want some diversion, I think Dalis you need some more of me in your back door. she finally heard Dred say, then she heard the door open and close again, and the next moment Dalis was next to her, picking her up and holding her closely to her. For a moment Lewla remained quiet still, then, without even wanting to, she broke out in tears.

When finally she felt a bit better she said between sobs "I hate him. I didn't even know I could hate anyone that much." She hesitated a second, then she looked at Dalis and asked her something she had wondered for quite a while. "How can he enjoy it that much to be mean? I... I ... mean, when we... did these things... I... I enjoyed it that ... that you were enjoying it... How come he likes it so much ... that I don't?"

 

[OnHarry]

There was a long pause before either spoke again the tension could be cut with a knife. " Did you ever marry?" Yewka asked to break Drukecks silence

He regarded her with a blank expression, as he ruffled her hair, finally he breathed in deeply and replied, "I cannot take the bracelet off, I am sorry but there it is." Then in reply to her later question he said, "I did not marry no, it would be unseemly for the leader to do so, I take my comfort where I find it," here he smiled a bit at Yewka then went on, "to be honest I never was able to banish you from my memory, you were always there."

Yewka looked hopefully at him but her face fell when she saw the resolute expression on his face. He went on, "I cannot even now, be as friendly as we once were, if Dred was to hear of it, or worse yet catch us at it, he would have me usurped in a heartbeat."

"Would he take your place?" she asked with little interest.

"No, he wouldn't do that, he is a soldier not a ruler and he has the wisdom to know it, but there are others who would happily replace me,"he paused for a moment and sighed a bit and said quietly, "and let them have it I say, I don't want it."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dalis held Lewla in her arms cradling her as she wept, and stroking her head like a small child who had hurt herself, not an adult Pixie who had suffered a terrible indignity.

"How can he enjoy it that much to be mean? I... I ... mean, when we... did these things... I... I enjoyed it that ... that you were enjoying it... How come he likes it so much ... that I don't?"

Dalis shook her head as if she too had no idea what it was that Dred saw in such rough behaviour, and then finally she said, "he ist bad, ou saw de vay he did me, but I Drow I take it, I showered tears only once, ven e hurt ou, den I cried, to meself."

Then as if suddenly realizing what else Lewla had said Dalis smiled at her, and said, "I ike ou, venou com do my plas, I treat ou gud," as if to emphasise the point Dalis bent her dark face over the Pixies more ruddy complexion and kissed her on the mouth lightly, then on her cheeks and her eyelids and forehead, all the while embracing her as if she feared that Dred would snatch her away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the cells Alwis puzzled over the letter he had recieved from the Drow wench, he was ashamed to admit her rather large breasts had affected him and her hand on his maleness, as well, but affect him she had. Still he had this letter from Lewla, he did not for a moment doubt the truth of what Lewla had said in it, Lewla had chosen him well, he only worried how he would convince the others who thanks to Dred's disinformation were convinced of her treachery.

He considered the letter and wished he was a wiser more elder Pixie then he would know what to do, also he could not get the image of the female Drow out of his mind also.

 

[Munachi]

he ist bad, ou saw de vay he did me, but I Drow I take it, I showered tears only once, ven e hurt ou, den I cried, to meself.
Somehow this sentence made tears come up in Lewla's eyes again - though different this time. Really, if she ever got a chance to talk to the other Pixies again - and if those then would believe her - she would tell them that not all Drows were like those they knew - and that maybe the chance of ending this war did lie in finding those like Dalis...

When Dalis kissed her and held her she felt better and safer than she ever had since she had started to fight in the war... And tired, for some reason she suddenly felt incredibly tired. But then, suddenly, she remembered something else. She opened her eyes again, which had fallen closed, and said to Dalis: "There is someone else who can help us. Someone who would believe me, I am sure - I don't know her well, but she knows more than most others... And has much more power than Alwis... Her name is Yewka. She is one of our leaders. I wish I knew what happened to her and if htere was any way to contact her."

Then as if suddenly realizing what else Lewla had said Dalis smiled at her, and said, "I ike ou, venou com do my plas, I treat ou gud," as if to emphasise the point Dalis bent her dark face over the Pixies more ruddy complexion and kissed her on the mouth lightly, then on her cheeks and her eyelids and forehead, all the while embracing her as if she feared that Dred would snatch her away.

 

[Fayos]

Yewka

She gazed out at his window as if calculating how far the fall might be. Her eyes darted around the room searching out possible escape routs. Drukeck immediatly caught on his grip becomming tighter on her.

"I'm hungry Drukeck I haven't eaten in days I need a good meal and a rest." Her voice carried its usuall regal air. Moving from his grasp she sat in one of his armchairs lounging as if she were his equal."be a dear and get me something."

 

[OnHarry]

Dalis hugged Lewla, and comtinued to shower her with light kisses, all over her face and shoulders, and then pulling her back a bit by the shoulder, Dalis bent her face over and started to suckle at Lewla's breast, which did not seem to displease Lewla.

As she continued at this, Lewla summoning all the resolve she could, said to Dalis once more, "what of the other she could help us?"

Looking a bit put out Dalis sat up again and looked at Lewla finally saying, "vere is dat on, ou sad."

"I don't know, she left the cells before I did."

"Hummm, dat bad den, she mabe dead, or vers, questioned."

Lewla was fairly sure she understood the implication of what Dalis had just said, and said nothing else. Taking her silence as an end to that discussion Dalis went back to work on Lewla, once more kissing her wherever her lips landed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drukeck regarded Yewka momentarily and finally said, "You shouldn't worry about escape routes, there are none. You are here as my servant, thus you survive, would you rather be down in the cells with the rest of your friends, I can arrange that you know very quickly to."

Yewka looked at Drukeck but said nothing, watching him wondering if what he said was true but that could not be, there had to be an escape route, somewhere, somehow.

As if anticipating what she was thinking, her old lover went on, "if you don't believe me try and run, you will see what I mean."

Yewka got up and walked over to the window, but before she got there she felt a light tingle go up her arm from the bracelet, then suddenly, an excruciating pain, went to her middle, and it felt for a brief second that her heart had stopped and she could not breathe. Then as suddenly as it came the feeling went, and she collapsed on the floor as if the wind had been knocked out of her, trying desperatly to get her lungs to function again.

"You see, no escape route for Pixies, even one as resourceful as you."

OOC- my apologies for the slow reply I will try and do better in future.

 

[Munachi]

Lewla felt Dalis' mouth at her breast and it sent strange shivers through her body. But at the same time she couldn't really concentrate. Too much went through her head, and one of it was if there wasn't any possibility to find Yewka. When she asked again she could tell though from Dalis' reaction that she wasn't too happy to be interrupted.

Hummm, dat bad den, she mabe dead, or vers, questioned. She heard Dalis' answer, finally - and from that she assumed that chances to find her were small. Somehow she was sure Yewka wouldn't be dead, but from what Dalis said she might be in a worse situation than she, Lewla, was herself.

Dalis in the meantime started kissing Lewla again, and for a while Lewla wished she'd stopped, she suddenly wanted to be alone, but then she couldn't help her body reacting, and suddenly found herself to be giving similar kisses to Dalis.

 

[OnHarry]

When Lewla started responding to Dalis overtures it seemd that Dalis was revitalized. She accepted the return of the kisses that Lewla, gave her and then she suddenly put Lewla down on the couch again and stood up.

Lewla looked a bit disapointed until, Dalis got down on her knees and firmly parted Lewla's legs kissing her inner thighs, then her stomach and so she kept this up working closer and closer to the epicentre. Finally Dalis was greedily and hungrily devouring Lewla's sex, eagerly lapping up whatever juices she could get with her expert tongue.

It must have been like a tickling to Lewla she was imprisoned there on the couch by the large strong Drow, who held her down while she lapped at Lewla, untill Lewla was moaning with feelings that up until now had only been hinted at, as uninterupted Dalis eagerly worked at her for a very long time.

Finally an hour or so later as Lewla lay exhausted on the couch Dalis hovering over her, occasionally kissing her and embracing her, Dalis suddenly said, " I tink mabe, I fin yur utter friend, I vill go and see."

Without another word Dalis was dressed and after making sure she had the name right disapeared. She was gone about half an hour and when she returned she looked like she was excited yet again.

"Un now, I no, I tink de anser, yur friend is wit de general, Drukeck, vry bad Drow, not so bad as Dred, but bad, he got her."

"Is she alive do you think," asked Lewla.

"I dunt no, I had to, how yu say fuk da jail Drow, I do dat for yu, and I fin anser, an dat not gud enuf fr u." Dalis looked like she would pout, except she could not hide the fact that she actually enjoyed the Jail Drow as she called him.

 

[Fayos]

Yewka

she felt the pain overcome her and fell to the floor. As the pain left her body she felt the strong arms of Drukeck scoop her up and lay her on his bed, gasping for air she felt as if she might pass out then and there.

"DO you believe me now?"his voice was cold and emotionless.

Yewka didn't reply the whole experience had shaken her, the gravness of her situation came crashing down on her in an instant and she was afraid.

"I hope there won't try such a thing again."Drukeck continued." Because I would rather not send you to Dred in order to teach you how to behave."

Yewka shivered at the mention of his name"You wouldn't"

Drukeck turned from her pointing towards the table she dreded. " Put on what I laid out for you today and I may concider not telling Dred of your little escape attempt."


Yewka slowly found her way to her feet standing next to Drukeck the drow towering ov er her. " YOu wouldn't dare."

 

[OnHarry]

Yewka slowly found her way to her feet standing next to Drukeck the Drow towering over her. " YOu wouldn't dare."

Drukeck's eyebrows shot up as if he could hardly believe what she just said. "I would dare to do whatever I like, and no one, and I mean no one, would give two thoughts to the fate of some little Pixie."

There was a pause as he allowed her to digest that remark and then he pointed once more at the table and said in a cold harsh voice, "put it on,.............. NOW, or I throw you to Dred, and he will have much fun extracting what he wants to know from you, before he dumps your lifeless corpse on a dung heap for the carrion birds."

Yewka could not believe that her former lover spoke to her in this way. He stood staring at her not angry looking, just cold, while he waited for her to decide her fate.

When she still hesitated, his face broke just a little and he said quietly so no one outside the room could possibly hear him, "put it on Yewka, surely it is better than what would follow if you do not," he was almost pleading with her.

 

[Fayos]

Yewka

Yewka shivered at his harsh words gazing at the table to keep from crying. She refused to wear the garment and colar that marked her as property of Drukeck. Yewka would gladly be naked or wear a robe of scratchy wool compaired to such things.

Her lower lip quivered as the events of the past few days broke her. Tears streamed down her tiny face as she shook her head whimpering."DOn't make me Drukeck."

 

[OnHarry]

He sighed heavily, "I won't make you, it's your choice, but think hard before you choose, Dred will be back here later and if you are not suitably attired, then I will have no choice but to hand you over to him. I don't want to, and I have put myself in some danger just offering you this."

She stood there tears streaming down her face, and could not bring herself to speak, he turned and walked away from her going to the large chair and sitting, he said not another word, simply sat and stared at her with questioning eyes.

Finally after what seemed like an eternity he called her over to him, "sit here on my lap for now," and he pulled her up like a child. Then he started to stroke her breasts and created another dilemna for her, should she respond or not?

 

[Fayos]

Yewka

Yewka obediantly wiping her tears as he held her moving her into a comfortable position. Her cheek rested on his shoulder and her eyes drooped shut she could feel his hands stroke her breasts the way he would before when she was having a bad day. His hands moved to calm her and give her pleasure it worked she moaned softly her eyes now shut. Yewka's body drifted into unavoidable sleep her lovers hand massaging her breasts the whole while continuing well after she began to sleep softly in his lap.


WHen Yewka awoke she realized she was no longer in Drukecks lap she was resting in his bed again under a soft sheet. But there was soemthing else she noticed her hand came to her throat where he must have fastend the colar to her as she slumbred. Yewka then realized he had changed her clothes as well she was wearing what other Drow slave girls wore.

She sat up "YOu promised I could choose." She said.


Drukeck came from his attached bathroom now dressed in his finest garments."I know , but Dred is on his way. Now please Yewka behave yourself For I can not protect you if you misbehave in his presence."

 

[OnHarry]

Dalis was softly stroking Lewla when a knock came to the door, it was a page and he wanted the Major, as the General had commanded he come to his chambers.

Dalis said something to him in Drow, and she sounded much more confident than when she spoke Pixie. As she spoke she pointed at Dred's inner chamber door, and Lewla guessed rightly that she was telling the page if he wanted Dred awake than he could wake him up, because she would not.

When the page hesitantly knocked on the door, there was no answer, and so Dalis who suddenly seemed to be full of mischief took his staff, and banged on the door so loud anyone would have heard it. The reaction was immediate Dred was a light sleeper anyway from so many campaigns in the field, and before the page had time to shrink away he was at the door standing there naked, his impressive erection standing out against him.

"What do you want," he said to the page who was staring at his large tool, and stumbling on his words, " I, I Er I was told to get you sir."

"BY WHO YOU IDIOT?"

"The General sir he said he wanted you in his chambers now, ah sir."

Dred scowled at him his humour very sour, but he turned and went back into his chamber and shouted at the unfortunate Drow, "go and tell him I will be there shortly."

The page was only too happy to escape the presense of the Major, and was gone in an instant to report to the General that Dred was on his way.

When Dred returned from within he was dressed in his field clothes, common simple material, that revealed his stature only if you looked closely at the small details. When he was satisfied he looked the way he wanted to, he turned to go. Just before he left however he told Dalis, "I am leaving after this meeting for a week or more, take that," he pointed at Lewla, "with you and my blessing, I may want to entertain you when I return, but for now go home."

Dalis nodded saying nothing in reply, and Dred left the room,as he walked he gave several of his men a severe dressing down while he made his way to the general's room. When he arrived he knocked not too respectfully and heard a reply, "come."

He walked in and the General was wearing one of his finest robes, a habit an old soldier like Dred could not get into, and he asked as he stood to attention, "how may I serve you Sir?" When he finished saying this he noticed the Pixie who had been brought in earlier, dressed in the slave costume and with the neck ring on as well, he nodded silent approval.

Drukeck asked him some mundane questions that dould have been addressed in a note, but he wanted to be sure that before he left again that Dred saw clearly that Yewka was properly restrained and the General who was his commander was in charge.

YEwka shrank back from Dred, who acted as if he had not even seen her.

 

[Munachi]

Asoon as Dalis had left to find out about Yewka, Lewla fell into a deep and dreamless sleep - all that had happened so far, and also all her new experiences had exhausted her.

Finally she felt someone shaking her so she would wake from her sleep and opening her eyes she saw Dalis' smiling face. It was obvious from the Drow's expression that she had found out something. Un now, I no, I tink de anser, yur friend is wit de general, Drukeck, vry bad Drow, not so bad as Dred, but bad, he got her. Dalis said, and somewhere in the back of her mind Lewla realized that this name, Drukeck, sounded familiar, like from some rumour she might have heard long ago, but she could not remember what it was about.

"Is she alive do you think," she asked, and this question seemed to upset Dalis. I dunt no, I had to, how yu say fuk da jail Drow, I do dat for yu, and I fin anser, an dat not gud enuf fr u. Though Lewla could tell that this Jail Drow probably had been someone Dalis had enjoyed - something in the eyes of Dalis told her that - she ignored that and instead hugged Dalis as far as this was possible with her being so much smaller than the Drow. She planted a kiss on Dalis face - which was only possible because she was on the couch, and Dalis kneeling in front of it so her face was close to Lewla's - and felt she really wanted to do something, whatever, to show Dalis just how thankful she was - and not only that, Lewla realized ever more that this Drow really was someone she cared for, not only someone she hoped could help her - but all the past events, and the fact that she had not yet slept except for that one hour that Dalis had been gone, were too much for her, and she had to fight to even keep her eyes open.

Dalis was stroking her softly and Lewla felt how she was drifting back to sleep when the knock at the door woke her up. She stared at the page for a moment, then remembered that she should probably behave scared and like someone who is being treated badly to not endanger Dalis, so she somewhat hid in the corner of the couch she was on. Her hiding and fear became more real when Dalis knocked strongly at Dred's door - she had felt safe as long as he had been asleep and out of the room, now the prospect of him being there again and most likely in a bad mood scared her.

But to her relief he quickly left again to get dressed, and then go to see the general (and Lewla couldn't help wondering if this was the same general Dalis had told her about, general Drukeck).

I am leaving after this meeting for a week or more, take that, with you and my blessing, I may want to entertain you when I return, but for now go home. she heard Dred's voice before he left - she did not look at him and not seeing the expression on his face she feared it might just be another cruel joke, that he might not really leave her alone finally, but the next moment she heard the door, and he was gone.

Carefully the Pixie lifted her face from where she had hid it, and looked up at Dalis. She was still shaking somewhat, the pure presence of Dred had made her do that, and she was wondering if she was really save for now. With a questioning look she looked at Dalis' face.

 

[Fayos]

Yewka

WIth Dred now in the room she hid behind Drukeck avoiding Dred as much as she could. She tried to remember to play the part of a slave even though she didn't realy feel like one yet. Still the open window and the distracted Drows were tempting.

She tried to concentrate on her role not escaping but it was difficult.

SHe listend intently to their conversation understanding perfect Drow she tried to find any tidbits of information that may be useful.

 

[OnHarry]

Speaking only in Drow, Dred did not realize that Yewka spoke the language, he outlined his campaign. "The turncoat among the Pixies has turned out to be a very helpful lad indeed. We now know where the main stronghold is and I intend to make a frontal assualt on it."

Drukeck stroked his chin as he considered Dred's remarks, "so the traitor was useful, good, but an assualt on their main stronghold, they won't be defeated easily you know, they will fight fiercely to retain it."

"I considered that possibility and I have the best leader among our men designated to lead the assault, he should carry it off, but if he doesn't well I will have to finish it. Make no mistake if we take this now, then all we will have to deal with are small bands of renegades, easily dealt with. We will control their whole wretched land, including the mines."

Drukeck nodded his approval, he had forgotten that Yewka spoke Drow, then it is settled and if your commander carries the day I will reward him handsomely, if he dies then I will reward his family, he does have a family doesn't he?"

"Oh yes a wife and four or five children, but not to worry for now, we will decide his reward after he has earned it, even if it be posthumus."

Drukeck nodded and said, "farewell then Major and may the elders be with you always."

Dred bowed and turned to go, saying, "I should be back in a week maybe less."

Dalis returned Lewla's gaze and cupping her face in both her hands she said, "Gud, ve go to min plas, and ve liv quiet like, wit my children, and mabe my husban, he ist gud Drow yu will see."

She kissed Lewla on the face and smiled at her, and then she settled down on the couch for a few minutes before she left. As she sat there stroking Lewla, and cooing softly to her Dred returned, he walked in and started to get his maps and equipment he needed for the upcoming journey.

Smiling at Lewla who had shrank away again, he said, "I have a spy among your Pixie friends and he tells me everything I want to know, that is why I am going to capture your Pixie city, I know where it is now." He laughed and sounded like he was truly enjoying himself, and added, "I suspect they will think the worse of you though, sorry".

Then he said to Dalis in Drow, "I want to see you again when I return, I think we could do well together."

Dalis said in return, "No I am sorry but you hurt me, badly and I don't like to be hurt, so I won't come back, I will instead stay at home with my husband, on his leave."

"OH didn't I tell you," said Dred with a nasty tone, "I need the Seargent Major on this campaign, I am afraid his leave is cancelled, so sorry."

"He has been away for two years he was promised leave."

"Yes well things change you see," said Dred matter of factly as he buckled up his belt for his sword, "I need him to lead the assualt he is the best I have you see. He will lead the shock troops against the Pixie stronghold."

Lewla while unable to understand much of what was said had discovered by keen observation that she could generally get the gist of Drow conversation, by the tone and inflection, of whatever was being said. So she was worried when at Dred's last remark she could actually see Dalis olive complexion whiten noticably, the colour literally left her face. Dred smiled and went to leave with what he had come for, but as he went to the door he said, "pity about you not wanting to see me again." and then he left.

For a full minute Dalis stood in the room looking at the door that Dred had just closed behind him, and then she collapsed onto the couch, she covered her face with her hands, bowing her head over her knees. She did not cry like she had before, this was different, as she sat there her shoulders started to shake and a low deep moan of utter despair welled up inside her and escaped her, and then she wept bitterly uncontrollably, convulsing from her obvious grief.

Lewla had never in her life seen anyone weep like this and she put her hand on Dalis shoulder. Dalis took her hand and wiped it across her face soaked in her tears. "My husban ist dead I tink."

"He died," Lewla asked quietly.

"NO, not yet, but Dred will mak sur he dies, he has send him to his death, the Pixies vil kill him I am sur."

Lewla looked on not knowing what to say, and Dalis returned to her grief for her husband not yet dead, but doomed all the same.

 

[Munachi]

As always, just seeing Dred scared Lewla, and she tried to hide back into the couch. She eagerly listened to his conversation with Dalis though, and while she did not understand the details, she thought she got a general idea. And of course she had understood before that not only her imprisoned friends, but everyone, her family, her friends, the little children that lived in their city, everyone was in danger now.

Then Dred had left, and Lewla stared up at Dalis who stood there with a pale face and motionless for what seemed like an eternity until finally collapsing and starting to weep in a way Lewla had never seen before. It seemed the sadness and pain Dalis felt was worse even than that Lewla had felt when she was told that all her friends hated her now and she was doomed to stay here for ever. Carefully she placed a hand on Dalis' shoulder not knowing what to say or do.

My husban ist dead I tink. she heared Dalis say, and then NO, not yet, but Dred will mak sur he dies, he has send him to his death, the Pixies vil kill him I am sur.

While Dalis kept crying all kinds of thoughts went through Lewla's head. Dalis was her friend, even though she was a Drow. She had risked her life for her. She had to help her somehow. But how? She felt she was so small and additionally a prisoner, what could she do? But she was a warrior! She had always wanted to be a warrior.

"We..." she tried to clear her throat, she was almost scared to speak. "We have to keep them from leaving, somehow. THat might save your husband, and it will save my city. We have to do something so they are too busy here to go away to fight. There are some of the best pixie warriors in that prison. Isn't there some way they... they could break out? Alwis must have told them by now..."

Yewka

Yewka couldn't help but hide the smug look on her face when Dred left. Drukeck looked at her curiously but she grinned and replyed " DO YOu really think I'm going to share what I know with you after what you've done." Her words were in Drowish she was even able to copy Drukecks accent perfectly.

It begame apparent to the General just how much Information Yewka had been intrusted with.

When Drukeck was about to open his mouth to threaten her she stood her ground smirking like she had many years before. FInally she had something over him and he couldn't wait to get it out of her...but she woudln't let him even if it resulted in her freedom.

Giving in a little the pixie decided to play with him "I'll tell you this.. there are no traitors among the pixies. and soon there will be much blood shed... Take from that what you will."

"We..." she tried to clear her throat, she was almost scared to speak. "We have to keep them from leaving, somehow. THat might save your husband, and it will save my city. We have to do something so they are too busy here to go away to fight. There are some of the best pixie warriors in that prison. Isn't there some way they... they could break out? Alwis must have told them by now..."

Dalis looked up her face a mess of tear tracks, where she had wiped her face with her hands, "Dat vil do not gud, remeber ven Dred lef us di firs time aftr he did dat," Dalis pointed at her posterior, "ven he did dat he sen di army off den, he vil catch dem up afer, an army does not mov quic, so he sen dem out dey are gon."

"IF de pixies revul here de gaurds hav to tak cir of it, it ist too late."

Lewla looked at Dalis and said, "what do we do is there anything?"

"Ja, ve go to my contry hows, and wait der, but I am sorry ou have to vear dat," and she pointed to a slave gown that had lain in the corner, Lewla had noticed it but not realised what it was. "DAt ting on yur arm to, yu try and run it hurt ou, don't run Plese Little Pixie, I, " she stopped as if she was reconsidering what she would say here, "I , I dunt vant ou to hurt, I lik ou too much."

Drukeck looked as if he was debating strangling, Yewka, or just striking her outright, however he stopped and called for a page,, "get me a messenger, right away I have great need."

While he waited he would not speak to Yewka, but rather he glowered at her, then just as his anger was about to spill over the messenger arrived, And he handed him a letter he had been writing while he was waiting. Take this to Major Dred, quickly, the army is two days out he will be riding hard to catch them, you ride harder and get him this right away, have him read it and then reply to me, I need to know what he will do."

The messenger who having heard that he was to ride to Dred looked not overly happy, particularily since he would have to ask the Major for an answer. He left however with a formal bow and was gone.

After he left Drukeck turned to Yewka saying, "I should have let Dred have you instead of that little red haired bitch, you are not worth the trouble you have already caused me." then he fell silent again as if considering what to do next.

Finally he said, "take off the slave robe and stand naked in front of me, I have an idea."

Yewka

" I really don't feel like getting naked after all the mean things you said." Yewka said smugly.

Drukeck approached her threateninly and in his current state she wouldn't have been supprised if he had killed her then and there. SHe stripped out of the small garment standing naked which felt more natural to her any way.

"I'm here Naked..what do you want." Her voice was dry, her eyes gleamed with trouble. Drukeck knew she wouldn't take to a life of a slave easily, he just didn't think it woudl be this hard.
