    A hand extending from the shadow grasped hers. Fingers softly wrapping gently around hers as he began to lead her over the great expanse of the chasm. "Don't look down." Senvid said, offering the worst possible advice he could have in that moment. The one good thing was the endless darkness of...

    Sen half turned around as Xylthe began to back away from the chasm once again. The rope, now tied around her body, slowly following along the line which he had tied across the great canyon. He watched her back up until the length of rope nearly ran out, once again pushing herself against the...

    It took longer to cross the chasm than he had thought. Moving through the shadows was faster, but not instantaneous. Even through the darkness it took time. Nearly ten minutes passed before the shadows around Xylthe began to flicker again. A length of rope crawling along the ground as Senvid...

    A long sigh of relief left him. He had been afraid that she would disagree again. The young Drow was glad for it not to be the case. They didn't have time. "Good." The former Reaver said as he quickly stepped up to her. Conscious now of Xylthe's fears, he tried to keep her attentions on the...

    Senvid shook his head again, the panic in his chest rising ever so slightly as it intermixed with a sense of frustration. "There isn't another way." The young Drow insisted. "The gate is this way" He told Xylthe as she began to walk back the way they had come. How could he convince her...

    "It is the only way." Senvid insisted, although that was not technically true. There likely was a path somewhere. Either down below or in either direction. It was almost certain that eventually the chasm closed, there would be a natural bridge, or something of the sort. Ordinarily the young...

    Sen shook his head. "It would rip your body to shreds." He had, early on, suggested utilizing the Reavers shadow-stepping abilities to move other kinds of troops and materials. It had quickly been explained to him that the realm beyond the dark would not tolerate such things, and would rip...

    Senvid considered the chasm for a moment, lips pressed to a thin line. "No." The answer was more terse than he would have liked, but this was a frustration that he had not anticipated. Fingers drummed for a brief moment against his thighs, and then he snapped to attention. Pack was slung over...

    Sen seemed to hesitate for a brief momen/colot, and then nodded. "Listen closely." There was a keen awareness in him that him teaching her was somewhat ironic. He did not know her age, but he knew that comparatively he was young. There had been more than a few whispers in the fortress that had...

    The guilt in his stomach would not go away. He had not been the one to capture Xylthe. He had not even been the one to put her into her cell, and yet he couldn't help but feel the pity he felt. Lips pressed to a thin line, and he shook his head. "Don't thank me." He said slowly at first, then...

    Seven hours. Senvid had allowed himself to sleep for only half of it. Even after the distance they had come the day before, he had not been tired. The surgery which Velkyn had conducted on him did truly have it's benefits, though the young Drow wasn't sure if he'd ever really know of the full...

    Senvid slowly moved into the tiny alcove behind Xylthe. He glanced back over his shoulder for a brief moment, and then shifted some of the loose vines over the small entrance. It was hardly much of a disguise, that was for sure, but it was more than nothing. "It's alright." He said as he...

    It did not take long for Senvid to return. Once he was able to step into the shadows moving around the tunnels was so much more simple. That was half of why Velkyn had created the augment in the first place, to allow his enforcers to weave through the underrealm without the dangers normal...

    It was getting too much. Senvid could tell from how Xylthe moved. The slowed and staggered steps, the palm against the tunnel walls. Any moment now she would drop, and after that there would be no more running. Not for her at least. Briefly he glanced back over his shoulder, glaring through...

    A blink crossed Sen's features, as though he didn't quite expect her question. Lips thinned for a brief moment, but then slowly he nodded. "I wasn't..." He stopped himself, taking another breath. "I am." There was no denying it. No Reaver was born, all of them, including him had been made...
