The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors
The one named Vaksum touched the marking on her invitation but his touch lingered there for a second, his mind distracted by other thoughts. "Any tattooist can make such a mark." He said.
The one named Artuk spoke next. "Is this all you have to prove yourself?" He asked stepping around her. "Or maybe you came here for another reason?" He asked hinting to something else.
In his tone Huascar already knew what he meant and he thought Kanai to be smart enough to catch that as well. If she had any cards to play, this was the moment to play them. And depending on the outcome he would know if it was time to abandon this ship that seemed to be sinking pretty fast. He cleared his throat and choose his nect few words very carefully. "She has a legitimate reason to be here." He stepped between Kanai and the interogators. "Even I am at the point that I want to see if she is all she is." He turned back to her employer and gave her an expectant look.
What he said was simply the truth, it was the best option at the moment.
Setting
0.00 INK
The hair that was once stark white was now shinny blonde that reached down to her ankles. Eyes that were once yellow were now a clear light blue that sparkled, her skin was pale peach now instead of the purplish black of her race. She smiled brightly with her perfect pink lips and reached out to caress both the males closest to her. "What better gift from a god that he himself changes his looks?" She asked in a musical voice. "I could so cloak an army if I wished." She walked around the males in a circle. "What more would you like to prove myself?" Her fingers ran into her now golden hair even her manor of moving had changed to that of one of their surface cousins. "Am I still under trial here?" Her eyes went directly to Huascar with that question.
He heard some of the templars saying out loud what he kept silent. "What for sorcery is this? This does not mean that you have any favor from our Lord."
But the one in charged silenced them all, he stepped around Kanai inspecting her and just like Huascar he could not see any flaws in this. Was this a gift from Vhaerun or not he did see the potential and that was enough for him. "If your allegiance is truly with our lord Vhaerun." He said pointing at her. "You will use this to push his agenda here on earth further. You will answer directly to me for in this part of the underdark I am his representative." He then whispered something to Vaksum who apparently was the master at arms there. "You will both give up all your weapons and we will discuss how the conversion of Xuat will be handled." He ordered obviously on recommendation from the other.
Huascar cringed, he would need to have a long talk with Kanai. He had still not agreed to anything yet but he was getting involved deeper and deeper every minute. He looked at the colossi of the masked lord, as a male he had always sided with him secretly but he had not much interest in the parthenon of gods.
He reluctantly handed over his curved sword and one of the daggers in his belt.
"You and I will speak in private female..." He said to Kanai but eyed her stature and musculature and reconsidered. "Along with a few men of our guard." And not forgetting Huascar he added. "You will be watched closely to..." He said looking at him.
She would glance about her again taking off various weapons that she had on before she let her eyes fall on Huascar. Making sure eye contact was made first she would then glance down at her feet before she would roll something under her foot and out to him. The thin needle would bounce off his shoe. It was fourteen inches long and sharp at each point and could be used as a weapon if one were to have enough knowledge to do so. With a smile she would reach down to her boots to pull out a few daggers before slipping a few needles into the material. When she straightened it was as if nothing happened and she would turn to lock eyes on Artuk. "However I do agree to report only to you. My gift from our lord is not to be used within the city. If one of the matron's were to see the ability they would take it up with the vile spider bitch and we would be found out." She would expect some trouble for her back talking but then again she never would roll over and just let a male have at it anyways. She stood her ground and waited for the blows knowing that after the first one she would strike back. "However if you do not agree with my terms then I shall go to another temple and offer them my services...which go way beyond just the seen." She chuckled. "Now shall we keep comparing sizes or are we going to actually get some business done?"

Huascar looked at the colossi of Vhaerun and sighed deeply, part of him regretting having to go through all this put the better part of him was more curious about where this all could lead and all the possibilities this could lead to.
"Agreed." Artuk looked them over, trying to assess the danger they posed now unarmed. "Come with me." He then randomly pointed at four men and Vaksum. "You too."
The armed templars made a circle around the visitors cutting them off from the two leading them through a tunneled passage in between the legs of the statue of the masked god. A small door led to a much smaller chamber also carved into the rock, it had a small altar and crudely carved benches along with two more doors at each side. Vaksum closed the door behind them cutting them off from unwanted ears.
The high templar paced around lost in thought at the time that the guards took their places at arms length of their captives. Artuk seemed to be lost in tought when suddenly spoke. "We will convert the city of Xuat over to our lord Vhaerun." He said as if this was a fact. "You could be instrumental to this." He did not spare a glance but he was obviously referring to Kanai. He then turned to Huascar. "How would you assist with this?"
The question caught him by surprise, he expected to be a bystander but he was now holding center stage. He quickly formulated his answer trying to not involve himself to much. "I am captain in the guard of Xuat, a rank that not many males hold." He shrugged as he said that, it was the truth and at this point it was the best option.
Artuk kept pacing, processing the information, his expression changed. He had an idea but by the looks of it was not going to elaborate. "You..." He referred back to Kanai. "Are you... The messenger from our lord?" He asked, a hint of disbelief and mockery in his voice. It was no question though. "We are his messengers." He motioned towards the surrounding. "You... could be the tip of the spear I think that is an honor... For a female serving under our lord Vhaerun." He suggested.

"However the Great One has yet to pick the right breeding partner for me. He wants a strong warrior to create strong warrior like children. Can you imagine? The first generation born completely under the worship of Vhaerun! It will be glorious...just as glorious as when we take the gateway city completely in his name. Nothing will go without his watching." She smiled and tilted her head back. "And I believe you would make a glorious Patron ruler." She said and bowed her head gently. This was not her true intentions of course. No, the ruling patron would be someone of her choosing. Someone who she turned to her side, someone she could have an alliance with. Even if it was just a shaky alliance.
"Now if you would please give us a place in which to sleep for the night we are both exhausted from the traveling? Perhaps we shall feast and speak more of our glorious take over." She said and strode slowly back to Huascar. "What would you say? Are you tired from your fearless defeat of the cave lizard?" She asked gently with a huge sigh as if she were actually completely out of energy.
