“I will not risk another female mage and that’s final.”
Vyx’aria was bristling with rage, and it bubbled just underneath the surface. There was nothing she could say about it, not when it was the warlord addressing her. Vyx’aria had taken Alvyana with her to the surface, but the woman had proven too cowardly to help in the raid. Despite explaining the circumstances, the warlord was displeased at losing a sorceress - a female one at that.
The only other mage Vyx'aria had somewhat tolerated was Alak, but he had turned to the surface. Vyx’aria had a shortage of mages, and the warlord was not willing to risk any other women for the surface raids. Going above ground brought with it countless risks, and well trained females were too valuable to lose. She simply pursed her lips and kept silent, nodding in agreement.
“Take a man. I’m not going to say you can’t raid,” The warlord said, “But we have some men that have shown...promise.”
“I do not trust men,” Vyx’aria said quietly.
“No need,” The warlord grinned, her eyes glinting, “They are obedient. The men from the mage academies go through extra obedience training to follow commands. They will serve you well. Alak was…” She sighed, “An unfortunate surprise, but we sacrificed several men to the goddesses to make up for his insolence.”
Vyx’aria sighed took her leave after that, making her way towards the mage halls. The women here had the best quarters out of anywhere within Zar’Ahal. The male mages had the best living situations out of any other male, though still nowhere near what the women enjoyed. At her behest, the male trained enough to potentially go on surface raids were lined up before her.
With a bored expression on her face, she rolled her eyes and let them present and demonstrate their skills. Vyx’aria twirled her blade in her hand, waving away yet another man that tried too hard to impress her with petty illusions that ultimately wouldn’t cause any damage to anyone. She was beginning to regret killing Alvyana if the quality of the males was this terrible…
