Zathria's eyes traveled over the conjured arrow, her head tilting slightly to the side as she examined it. A dangerous and terrible weapon by the sound of it, and one that she took note of. A powerful tool for bringing down their enemy. Trust was going too far in this situation, but she...

Amidst the chaos of combat and a rightful coup, Zathria's pain and grief was shoved down deep into her heart, pressed aside as she reached down to close her sister's eyes and wipe the tears from her own. She had a duty to still perform, and she wouldn't allow even a beloved death to infringe...

Zathria was left with as many questions as answers, unsure if the appearance of these other Drow was a blessing or a curse. She didn't know the names of those approaching, and that raised concerns about betrayal. Still, they were killing her enemies, which made them at least more tolerable...

Zathria had been here countless times before and she did not break or shatter under the weight of command. Grief, if it would come, would come later. Now was the time to fight and punish the loss of each of her soldiers. Try not to be slain by the magics and ballistae of the towers, Zathria...

Zathria was intrigued when he insisted she not risk herself and that he go first. It was smart of him not to irritate her given he didn't know just how unhinged she might be. In her case, of course, she wasn't unhinged, but many times these males got up to the surface and then got all kinds of...

The roar of the battle cry rose as the army began to march forward, preparing to lay siege to the city. The siege companies pressed onward and Zathria's attention came to the massive dragon that had accompanied them. It was one of the secret weapons that they had brought with them into this...

The battle came to an end as Vyx'aria cast the tongue of the challenger at The Can, ending her fight as well as the Queen's. Her hands gripped tighter around the hilt of her sword as she slipped them away into their shared scabbard. Her vision was clear and it was all she could do not to punch...

Zathria watched as the creature moved in closer, some sort of hybrid chimera creature. The kind you might see as the result of some dark experiment of a mage in Zar'ahal. She frowned as she watched it, head tilting to the side as she watched the way it moved over to one of the dead whose armor...

Shay Tirloc or "the Twin Stalagmites" was so named for the pair of massive stalagmites that sprung up from the city center, extending all the way from the base of the cavern it occupied to the ceiling. At over fifty meters thick, the solid stone had been hewn out by Drow slaves many centuries...

Zathria nodded her head, knowing it made sense that he hadn't been inside. Then we'll have to do it quietly, she said, although she wasn't sure if even she could manage to get inside. And what was the value in it for all that risk? The thrill was certainly a reason, but not a good one. There...

The swords were like an extension of Zathria's arms, every twitch and movement of them was drilled into her mind on a dozen battlefields. She felt her blades bite into flesh and heard the sound of him skidding back and with her vision clearing enough to make out shapes, she lunged forward again...

Zathria wondered quietly if he was from the magic academies or the military academies. Probably not the latter if he wasn't associate with the military, but you never knew. You serve one of the noble houses? she asked, making an educated guess that that was who had sent him up here. And if so...

Reporting back on behalf of the scholars, eh? That was interesting. If he was killed, they wouldn't mourn the death of a single maleling, and if he survived he would bring back useful information. I have to assume you have a wide array of skills if you've made it this far on your own. The...

Zathria was already starting to like him. A male who knew his place and whose memory hadn't been scrubbed by being on the surface. [colro=violet]I am not new to the surface, though this area is a new venture for me,[/color] she admitted. The time spent in exile on the surface had forced...

Zathria was actually surprised to see another of their people here who weren't part of her own skirmish team. She lowered her bow so it wasn't pointed directly at him at least, though she kept it in her hand for the moment. I didn't expect to see one of our people up here. What brings you to...
