The clan was gathered...awaiting that fool's return. The Preatorian said he would return...his ultimatum would be answered this moon. Suddenly a mist formed outside her home and she sees the young drow, Vierna, falling onto the grass. She laughs to herself, "that foolish child, allowing herself to be caught."
Suddenly he appears in the mist as well. The Preatorian from the other night. A smile forms upon her face as she motions to the others, "He has come."
Marcas drags the unconscious drow to the house, speaks in his filthy tongue of her demise. Vierna has been poisoned, her ear half gone, and unless the Emporer is returned she will become human in 2 days time.
Morganna felt the heat of his words upon her skin as his mind conjured the arcanne spells, the warriors seeing the flames openly attacked and maimed him. Morganna relished in the sight of seeing him fall as she slumped to the ground unconscious.
When she awoke her Ilharess informed her that the Preatorian retreated in defeat this moon...but vowed to return yet again...with Vierna's cure...in exchange for his Emporer...The council formed for session to discuss these events...Tebryn began working on potions to counteract the poison flowing in Vierna's veins...perhaps he shall succeed...only time will tell
