Just a last few bits of resistance... That was more like it. Alexandria firmly applied her fingers to Maxine's hard muscles with just a touch of magic to aid in loosening the knots and tension. She kneaded and massaged her shoulders with an expert touch... Though she ruefully reflected that...

Alexandria nodded, giving her a shred of approval, "Good." Alexandria was thoughtful at this for a moment, "Our support will certainly aid you with your equipment rationing. That may have to suffice until the other guilds change their opinions of us. This chapter of The Steel Legion is...

This wasn't ideal, Alexandria didn't want to force Maxine to do her bidding, it would have been better and a greater accomplishment if she could have convinced the Steel Legion without coercion or manipulation. While using this magic was a way of subconsciously changing her desires and making...

The physician helped her sit up in the chair and handed her a glass of water before he started packing up his kit. The physician responded, "It appears you're suffering from a server case of exhaustion. You fell unconscious while in a meeting with Queen Viacian." He put away his herbs and...

Alexandria gave her a fake pout, "Aww Maxine, you can't really mean that. Surely you can bring them around..." Maxine was standing over her and looking down on her. Alexandria's smile faded, and that's when she began to focus her magic. Being shorter of stature meant nothing to Alexandria, she...

(Sorry for the delay. My muse is suffering.) Alexandria dismissed the subject with a wave of her hand. Her comment was more of a reflection on her own subjects that ARE her subjects. But it wasn't anything to get derailed over. She watched the assassin's move and trade places, their skills were...

Alexandria listened to the idea thoughtfully, "I can see the logic of that, but as you've noticed on your way up here, the path to the castle from the village is a narrow ravine only wide enough for two horses to walk abreast. The mesa's on either side at the top and overlooking the ravine are...

She watched the conflict play out in the bodyguard's body language, entertaining but at the same time there was some degree of concern... It was good to have such disciplined allies, but it didn't do her any good if they got themselves killed in her service. One should make no mistake, she was...

Her complaint had little to do with his use of her full name, though that played a small part in the general condescending tone he took with her everytime the subject of the eldritch came up. How he lorded his knowledge of the subject over her and deemed his warnings important enough to risk...

Alexandria had no more attempts on her life since that bodyguard Das stayed behind while Maxine left to gather her forces. Alexandria could easily have assumed that the rebels might have found out that the Legion was being hired and were being cautious, especially so soon after their last attack...

Chastisement, and not unwarranted. But if she learned one thing from watching other nobles and even her own father at time... This bitter pill of humility? It was better off taken gracefully if she didn't want to appear weak or not in control of the situation. Making excuses or getting offended...

Wil'Ziam did indeed protect her psyche from the utterance of that eldritch name but she was still puzzled by the perceived power behind it... It was interesting at the very least. Alexandria smirked, "I'm almost envious, but not quite, I take pride in the fact that my mother was a green hag and...

Still slightly reluctant, but she got a limited commitment of support yet something was holding her back, it felt like Alexandria only had to push just a little bit further to make a willing ally or a friend out of Maxine... But she had to know what it was that held her back and assure her that...

She kept insisting that the Steel Legion was incapable of fulfilling her wishes, and Alexandria kept disbelieving her words. If the information her spies dug up were true then it didn't matter if the Steel Legion wasn't the force it used to be, Maxine really couldn't turn down this offer for the...

Alexandria gave Maxine a patronizing look with a skeptical smirk, She was quite used to talking down to people even though she was talking up. "... An ailing guild wishing for the renown of its glory days... 'with all due respect'." Alexandria had the attitude and demeanor of one who held all...
