"When I get out of here? I'll come for you..." - Renna of the Dark, The Betrayer
?Yeah, yeah, yeah...like I said, Take a number." - Kairee
"Give me back, my body."
"How does it feel now? Lucy? Being in my shoes."
"Please... I just want to be normal."
"Normal? You are far from normal."
"Give it back, it's mine!"
"Bold words for the dead... Lucretia. Tell me... How is it one has an army and claims to be its lord... and yet, is a far cry from being feared? One might suppose you have been handling it... irresponsibly, or neglecting it altogether. Though, you can't be blamed for that... if you couldn't even remain in control of a body."
"And you are referring to my Mother's old name, Braxeus, I am merely here to look after them. And to keep them from her grasp. I do not wished to be feared... You are speaking of things you do not understand... Renna is gone. She will be never coming back. Now leave me alone, go back to your whore."
"Never coming back? Is she on holiday? Or is she... somewhere, where she ought not to be? And I'm not talking about Majorca.... Not only an incompetent general, but one who wears a bag over her head. Hm."
"She is where she had always been. Out of my life and out of my body. She disgusts me a much as you, disgust me. If your digging for her to get out, you are poorly mistaken. And in regards to my Army that is none of your business. Keep your mouth shut to matters that do not concern you. Keep to your dick, and sate your whore's crotch."
"Don't you mean... Her Army? I was wrong to call you legion. It implies organization and capable leadership... something Renna was never capable of... wouldn't you agree... Lucy? That Renna is incompetent... a common whore... treacherous... pathetic, falling for washed up old Jodiah Ayreg... never even able to handle a body, or her self-identity, the base function of sentience. Truly an idiot... but I am sure I only echo your thoughts. Certainly there is no reason for unpleasantly between us, if we have so much in common."
"A slip of the tongue, indeed it is her Army. I can tolerate you bad mouthing her but I will not tolerate you slandering my Lord. What business have you to come here? Are you here just to intimidate me? Are you just here to scope out your death? Braxeus? Man who has nothing but himself."
"Why should common sentiment intimidate... And why would you merely tolerate the expression thereof? You do not fool proper Lords."
"We have things to discuss child."
"Of course, Mum..." Long legs took her to the booth in no time, the curtain was pushed aside as she slid in across from Mother, and curtain of course, slid back to conceal.
Lucy was sat in the corner of the booth, the vodka bottle now gripped lightly, rising to her lips for several long gulps.
"Do not fret over that man. He and I have had bad blood since the beginning." She tilted her gaze up to stare at Zenobia, "Back to the matter at hand. I need you to do a chore for me. While the Den's Fort is being rebuilt my child, I want you to go North. Take some of the Monks and take either Mina or Mu to go along with you."
A leg crossed over the other as her arms folded over that ample chest of hers, though it wasn't flaunted, she merely had it. No fault of her own if her genetics worked out in her favour... Emeralds studied Mother carefully as she listened, slight nod offered to the words and orders spoken.
"Of course Mum. What is it you would have me do...North?" Something deliciously evil she hoped, but if she were to take Monks and Mina or Mu? It simply had to be. Such thoughts put a twisted smirk on her lips.
Lucy brought her voice to a whisper, to all those outside of the booth they would hear little mumbles. Inside of the booth however, were simple whispers.
"Move through the forests. Destroy everything in your path, move to the mountains and find me a dragon. Kill it. Bring me the corpse."
It was deliciously evil!
"Of course Mum!" Enthusiastic she sounded, though her voice was lowered too, so that none may hear, save for Mother. "Anything and everything that gets in our way, I shall cut down without hesitation." Voice lowered even more, sounding rather throaty. "You will have your dragon..." Lips then pursed in thought, emeralds narrowing as she ran a few thoughts through her head. "I believe I will take Mina with me for this mission, if Mu is still...unstable?"
"Her mind is destroyed but her abilities are as good as ever, maybe even if more deadly in her madness my dear. She might be a hand full though, so it is up to you who you wish to take. Every mortal that is cut down I will need. So I will arrange carts to be provided for you to use..." The Vodka bottle was once again sipped, and placed upon the table before her, eyes locked onto the closed curtain.
"Zenobia, this is your real first task for me, do not disappoint me and return with all of your force destroyed. If you come back like that, don't bother coming back at all."
Ever so slightly she leaned forward, expression suddenly becoming serious.
"If I were to fail in such a way, I would return so that you might punish me appropriately Mum... However I have no intention in doing such a thing. I promise you that I will not fail." A hand raised to brush some stray crimson wisps from her face.
"I will bring you so many bodies you'll not have room for them, I will cut down two dragons if need be. Anything you want Mum? I will bring you more."
Lucy's eyes narrowed, though she smiled. She lifted a hand up to cradle her creation's cheek. "Do better than your best my child, just bring me a dragon. Two, eight, ten? Just be sure you bring me one. I need it. We need it. There is some warning I will give you however... The North I do not know - I know not the creatures there so be careful. Anything that gives you a run for your money make sure to hunt every last one of them down. Exterminate their families. A lesson will then be learned. Leave none." She pulled back her hand.
She tilted her head so that she might nuzzle her cheek against Mother's cold fingers, if only for a moment before they were withdrawn.
"Of course Mum, I offer you no less than my best." Her legs uncrossed, both feet planting firmly on the ground. "I shall leave now to make preparations then, unless there is something else you require of me?" Inquired as a brow arched curiously.
Lucy shook her head, tilting back her head then to stare upon her creation. "I will be there for your departure. You will take one thousand, of the eldest Black Monks who were one of the first few to be created in my service. I will arrange it all. The carts cannot Shadow Walk, my child. I will send for horses."
"Of course Mum." A smile for her Mother, almost...loving? "I will go to the Den now, inform Mina of your plans? And I'll wait for you and the supplies...You'll not be dissapointed with me Mum."
Zenobia was General of the Black Monk army now... She knew what a great responsibility that was, and she would prove her worth to Mother. Already the shadows were moving around her, wrapping around her body as it started to pull her within.
