Summonings Gone Wrong ... [Yuna&Shadowkiller's 1x1]

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

Violet eyes gazed carefully around all the intricate patterns and designs upon the floor. Everything had to be perfect. One screw up ... and she wouldn't succeed in this summoning. And she'd come too far along in her priest duties to dare ruin this. Her head shook in fierce determination as the possibility of failure continued to run through her mind. "No ... that will not happen. Not while I'm still alive ... " She murmured, moving silver locks of hair aside and behind her ears.

After the third -- maybe fourth -- double check of everything, she nodded to herself. She was ready ... or so she was certain. Her heart raced slightly in anticipation. Clasping the unholy spider amulet around her neck, she slowly began to chant in her native tongue ....

"Past the surface and into the Abyss ...
Hear my call and grant my wish ....
Show yourself to me right now ...
Appear before me and come to be my servant ... "

Watching the circle in the middle, she waited patiently. Normally she wouldn't bother keeping the virtue. But for this ... she knew it would be needed and it would pay off when all was said and done. Taking steady breaths through her nose, she continued to wait for the demon she'd called to arrive.

 

[Shadowkiller]

The circle glowed red after she finished the chant. The red glow grew brighter and brighter when smoke started to appear from the center and soon engulf the entire circle. A load and dreadful roar was heard inside the the cloud as the demon started to enter the dimension. The roar could be heard through out chamber and outside of it. Soon the cloud started to disperse as the demon was becoming viable. It was a little taller then the drow but its entire body was covered in crimson red scales. Large dragon like wings that had small and large holes on the wing from past battles that never healed. He had 6 black horns on his head and also razer sharp teeth in his mouth. Old armor was on him made from old dark magic that was was damaged from some old battle. When the summoning was complete the demon looked around breathing heavy and also angry as smoke come from his mouth and nostrils as his inner flame started to build with his anger.

When looking around he saw the Drow priestess and roared into her face sending a strong smell into her nostrils. He then spoke to her. "why does such a weak looking being dare to summon me?"

Her eyes rolled, a scoff soon following. "Hmph if I were too weak, you wouldn't be here for one. But more importantly ... two ... did you really not hear the entire chant? You should know already enough of what I want. But I suppose more details are needed, true ..." Smirking rather proudly after a quick study of the pit fiend she'd summoned, she moved around the circle. Another reason it'd taken longer than usual was due to an additional barrier she had added; one that he could - or wasn't meant to - step out of. She was many things; cocky, bitchy, arrogant .... but a fool was not one. She had prepared for this day for far too long and she had taken any and every precaution she could think of to ensure this didn't go wrong.

"Simply put, you are the equivalent of an entire army. I need that type of power.... to get rid of the family daring to go against mine. Nothing more, nothing less. You can go back afterwards. I just need reassurance this doesn't backfire on me. Easy enough ... wouldn't you agree?" She asked, finally stopping her circling around him, gazing right into the demonic eyes. Were anyone else around, she knew most would say she was going way beyond her limit. But right now ... she didn't care. Her pride and confidence were overtaking her. After all, why shouldn't she feel accomplished? This was a huge deal ... she would savor this moment. And nothing nor anyone would ruin that for her.

 

[Shadowkiller]

The pit Fiend growled as he responded. "Do you know where you summoned me from. It was not the neither realm but an other dimension where i was sealed by a worthless angel. I would not ever willingly go back to a place where i can do nothing." He said as he raised one of his talon hands and went to strike but was stopped by the barrier but a talon was able to come out to almost stick at her throat. He moved his hand back as he thought for a moment. "I might have a counter offer that might be more beneficial for both of us. I will destroy this family for you but in return you will allow me to say and also join your family. You will be recognized by having destroyed your rival with your power and also gain more with a partner to destroy any enemy that dared to face you." He said with a wicked smile. He watched her to see how she would take the intensive offer.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

"Heh, you keep insulting those you believe to be so inferior. And yet we keep proving we're not so weak. I'd watch your tongue considering you can't seem to back all your toughness up hm?" Her smirk widened as she watched his attempt to go for her throat fail. "... See? You think I didn't see the possibility of being attacking coming?" Her head shook in disbelief. "No ... maybe if this were another idiot. But me? Hell if I'd fall for that mistake." Her attention got caught as he suggested a counter deal. Now that was something demons almost never did and because of that, it made her eyes narrow a bit.

"....Join my family?" She paced more around the circle, thinking on this. ".... And what reassurance do I have that you won't try to backstab any of us? After all, you are a demon." Though she was next to take over when her mother passed, she didn't quite want that duty just yet. She was fine being a 'servant' to her mother for the time being ... mainly because everyone else below her had to obey her. Also ... she truly didn't see much point in running a family at the moment. So why be in a rush to take over? Her mom was doing well enough. Going silent, she waited to hear the demon's next reply to her question.

 

[Shadowkiller]

The pit fiend smirked as he then turned to her. "I have no place to go and even i cant survive on my own for too long. Your family will be better alive rather then a pile of bones. Also if I'm correct for an outsider to join your family i would need to marry a family member. And in doing so would give you access to my many powers to use as you see fit." He said as he left out that when a demon marries someone their minds also connect making it easy for him to manipulate her with out saying a word. He then got on he knee. "So powerful priestess will you take this demons offer or will you send me back?" His lowered his head to her showing submission. He hated to do this but to make her believe he wasn't up to anything.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

"....Marriage?" A mix of a scoff and a laugh first left but then ... she stopped and looked up, beginning to seriously contemplate on the idea. Not only would she have access to his powers but so would any offspring she had. And a half-drow half-demon ... would not be an easy person to defeat, regardless of whether they were a priest or not. "Hm .... " The fact he had actually included her family's safety had honestly intrigued her. Glancing up and down, she did note this was a pit demon. This .... was a very rare display of mercy. Regardless of why he was doing it, he did seem to know his place. That alone got her attention more.

But what made her feel more certain - finally - was him sinking to his knees and bowing his head in silent submission. "Very well then. But if I get even the slightest hint you dare begin to go back upon your word .... " She allowed her sentence to trail off, knowing he could fill the blanks in well enough. A few more soft chants and the barrier finally left, allowing him to move freely. "We're planning the raid in about three days. Should be more than ample time to recover from ... whatever the hell hit and wounded you exactly. This should make it faster though." A couple more Undercommon words left her as a light-blue aura surrounded the demon. All the wounds around his body began to steadily heal.

Unfortunately, with all the casting Iivraena had done, it finally began to take a toll upon her own body. Shuddering and panting, she took her turn to fall to her knees. She didn't regret it though; in fact she was rather content with how the day had been going thus far. Not only had her summon succeeded .... but thus far, she had quite the nice future to look at. But even still, she never once let herself forget that this was a pit demon. That alone would help her remember the possibility of betrayal -- just hopefully not today. She was practically out of energy ... if he was able to pull a stunt off, she wouldn't be able to counter it. Not like this ... not now ...

 

[Shadowkiller]

The pit demon was impressed of her power when he saw his wounds starting to heal. Even his own magic was not able to do it thanks to the seal that was put on him. When he saw her start to fall he changed his body to one like a drow as his wings went into his back and his horns seemed to vanished. His body was just like a normal drow male but his eyes were still the same the only thing that gave away his true identity. He walked over to her and caught her before she fell to her knees. "You should not show weakness to others for they will exploit it." He said as he helped her to her feet. He smirked a little as he looked over his now future wife's body. It was nice and one that a demon would not question if he was invited to take it. He then looked around. "So where will i be staying? I will need to summon back some of my old magic that was taken when my old lord was killed. it should still be here in this realm and will prove useful in the raid." He then put his arm around her so she could support herself. But made it look like he was just showing affection to her rather then helping her. "Shall you lead the way mistress?"

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

A mix of a smile and smirk crossed her lips as she found herself facing the demon, albeit in his Drow form. "Sometimes, it can't be helped. More importantly ... no one else is around. Normally though ... I would agree with that. All the same, noted." Eagerly taking the support and simultaneous act, she nodded in regards to leading him and began doing just that. She had chosen an area that - thankfully - wasn't too far from her family's manor.

Though there weren't quite enough people to use all the rooms in the three story house, it still did have a lot. Most were servants, the only ones being 'free' individuals were her mom, younger sister, and only brother; though her brother had very limited 'freedom' as it were. Tons of raised eyebrows met her which she retorted with glares. "He is mine and mine alone .... merely helping me. Got an issue?" The silent gesture of the males moving away sufficed for her and she managed to get them into her room without any further interruptions.

Shutting and -for now - locking her door after they both got in, she then allowed herself to collapse on her bed, her violet eyes closing as she let her body begin to relax. This truly was ironic and interesting .... and she couldn't stop thinking of it. Normally if between the two races one had to be enslaved, it was the other way around. This was .... so damn rare. It felt ... almost impossible to believe this had really happened. A lot of her had expected him to figure a way to dispel the barrier and then have the tables turned against her. But .... Lolth must have really been watching her because everything went so smoothly. Dare she say perfect?

As her eyes opened, she forced herself to leave her thoughts for the time being. "You .... looked like you needed quite a bit of rest yourself with all those wounds. The healing will help, yes. But I know that it won't complete it all. Not yet ... maybe by the time morning arrives. Still though, may as well use what time you have wisely."

 

[Shadowkiller]

The Demon walked with her holding her close seeing the weird looks that was given from them. Not surprised for what he knew of the drow. Little at best but he knew that females ruled over the males. But he would not have that after they were married once he can put his plan in to action he will not hesitate to slowly manipulate her will and desires.

When they entered the room the demon put her on her bed to allow her to rest. When she laid down he was able to get a better look at her fine body as he smirked a little. But he then turned his attention to the room normal for one that studies the dark art with dark relics and books of dark art. He then waved his hand as some books started to hover and open in front of his as he looked at the familer text of his ancestors and brothers. He read some old rituals to call apon lost powers. Something a person searching for power would not be interested in but an old demon would. He then turned to some open space as he waved his hand as a magic circle started to form.

When she spoke he turned to her. He smirked as she seemed slightly worried for him. "Do not worry mistress i will use my time wisely to increase my power. It should also help me heal faster so i can serve you better till the raid and we become partners. And if I'm correct you will also want some children to inherit my powers as well so your families future is even more secure with strong demonic powers." He said with a smirk as he then walked to the center of the circle and sat down as he started to chant an old tongue. As he spoke viable dark magic started to rise and surround him. The dark magic was pure black as light warped around it showing how old he truly was and how powerful his magic can be.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

Her eyes remained upon her - unofficial but still - fiance. Realizing that hadn't been done, she went on to speak, clearing her throat. "First off, who said you had consent to touch my books? Also ... I never did get your name? I'm Iivraena." Keeping her eyes upon him to watch him close, she mentally prepared to get up. She didn't like the idea in her mind but if she had to, she would use the last of her magic to ensure he behaved. She would do anything it took to avoid losing him. She'd done too much to just fail now.

Her smirk widened as she nodded. "Well of course. Any sane person would want powerful children." She almost added and tried to remind of him not using her possessions without consent ... but then stopped. Her curious nature was, admittingly, getting the best of her. Watching him perform his magic, she felt her suspicion get peaked again. If he had that much capability ... he may be a bit stronger than her. Mentally noting this, she kept it hidden with her own smirk upon her face. "Not too bad."

 

[Shadowkiller]

As he was concentrating he couldn't speak back to her but he could still hear her. He had the books return to the shelves. When it was done more black magic started to flow out from the circle and to him as his power returned to his former glory. This took about 10 minuets to finished before the circle started to crack and shatter as he then slowly open his eyes and he took a breath in and felt his power coursing though out his body.

he then looked at her and smiled. "Sorry if i made you think i might betray you Mistress i was only getting the power you wanted for the tast to be done." He said as he slowly got up and walked over to her. "You should rest your body needs to heal from to much use of your power." He then got on his knees and held a hand out as dark magic formed around it and a staff was slowly made of a dark stone material with a dragon skull on the top and a dragon claw holding a black orb on the bottom. He then held it to her.

"A gift to you. A staff that hold much dark magic that can kill as well as steal souls from who ever you wish it to." He said as he bowed his head and held it to her.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

Remaining silent until he finally spoke, she had to admit that his own powers weren't too bad. But it still made her a bit unsure. She couldn't help but feel like somehow ... she had missed fine print on this deal, as it were. This all seemed way too easy. And it was beginning to bother. Her head shook slowly. Tch, you're thinking too much ... She scolded at herself, insisting - hoping even a bit - that was only the case.

Her eyes gazed up as she glanced up at the staff. Slowly sitting up, she took it from his hands and held it close to her to examine it better. "... Not bad at all. Thank you." Now she really felt as if she had missed something. No sane demon would give anyone a weapon this powerful.... would they? Even the ability to steal souls she hadn't been able to attain yet. But again, she shoved the paranoia away. Setting the staff beside her against one of the walls of her room, she gently patted the empty spot upon her bed that was beside her. "You too... rest with me. I insist." She added, proving that while she may be tired, she wouldn't allow him to forget his new place nor give up her position she'd had for so long.

 

[Shadowkiller]

The demon slowly rose and joined her on the bed. He saw the look of concern on her face but also saw it go away. A mistake she will learn in the future. He laid next to her as she ordered and then looked towards her. "So i am to sleep mistress or is there something else you wish of me?" He said to keep the rouse of being her submissive servant. he didnt know if she was going to use him for his seed to make children or not for he couldn't read her mind just yet.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

A light nod left. "For now, we both rest. With only a few days left, we'll need as much strength as we can keep." Her smirk widened at the innuendo. "Those plans can be discussed when we wake up so we can figure out a day to arrange all of that. Worry not; when we are wed, you will be my first." That in itself was quite the miracle. It'd probably been somewhat due to the fact that none of the family slaves had really gotten her attention. But even at 300, she was still - somehow - pure. It seemed, however, the waiting would soon pay off. With all that was coming up racing through her mind, she finally allowed sleep to take over.

A light groan left as hints that the morning had arrived began to - not as strongly as above ground, but all the same did still - become evident through her window. Tossing so at least the light wasn't right in her eyes, it then dawned upon her one thing she had forgotten; to get the curtains and close them. Remaining upon her stomach, she allowed the sun to beam upon her silver hair.

 

[Shadowkiller]

The pit fiend was a little surprised that she was a virgin still. Drow were known for there large lust but to hear one that's as old as her still a virgin was almost impossible. But he accepted her truth and he closed his eyes as he slept with his current mistress.

When the sun rose so did the pit fiend as he got up and stretched. Tempted to change to his demon form but would hold back till the day of the raid. He then noticed his mistress moved to get the sun out of her eyes as he moved and closed the drapes for her. He then walked and looked at her evil artifacts. They were low level and weak artifacts but he knew hard for this realm to posses them.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

"Thank you ... " She murmured, already beginning to feel better with the sun being blocked. When the weight beside her didn't return, it made her look up. A wry smirk crossed her lips. "....Heh, if you like my material possessions I only wonder how much you'll enjoy 'other' things of mine. And on that subject of sorts, since it was mainly your idea ... " She paused, watching him a bit more before going on. "Did you have a time or day in mind for said marriage? I doubt consent will be an issue. Mother's actually been pestering me to .... so you will be a godsend."

 

[Shadowkiller]

The pit fiend looked at her and smirked. "Just checking out your collection." He then turned when she said other things of hers as an eye brow raised and he lisened to what day and time he want the marriage also that her mother would not mind the marriage as well. he then smirked as he rubbed under his chin to think of when the wedding should be. He then smirked with a wide grin. "I think after the victory of the defeated family and have the wedding on there corpses showing how that families death brings a brighter future to your family." He said but really he just likes gory settings like a small human girl likes rainbows.

He then walked over to her and held a hand out for her so he could help her get up. "What shall we do today mistress?" He asked in a kind voice.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

A slow smirk formed at his comment about him enjoying her collection. Slowly sitting up, she stretched a few times before straightening her outfit out. "Well ... if you wish to become official after the attack, then we both have quite a bit to do before the next 48 hours; though more myself. Still ... you will be involved all the same." As she began to make a 'to-do list' in her head, she organized it in order, from the first thing that needed to be done to last. Nodding after a bit, she went to her door, unlocked it, and motioned for him to follow. "First thing .... " With a low but audible sigh - mixed with annoyance and even some anxiety - she forced herself to continue, "... is the consent, thus meeting my Mother." Ensuring he was following, she then began leading him to her Mother's chambers.

 

[Shadowkiller]

The pit fiend nodded to her as he turned to her as he then waited for her to tell him what the first thing they had to do was. He nodded when she told him it was to meet her mother. He then raise a brow when he noticed she didn't really want to do it. he followed foot behind her like he should as he asked. "So why are you filled regret to meet your mother. Not on the best terms i take it?" He asked not knowing what their history was.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

A sly smirk formed as her hand tilted. "Not exactly. She is, technically, in charge of us all. That being said, she is ultimately my - and everyone else's - Mistress. It's never pleasant to meet those types of people. But also ... she's been trying to rush me to take over. I don't see why though; she's doing fine as it is. I will do so .... when she passes. Not sooner. It took a hell of a while to get her to agree to that ... but she did in the end. Though I think a good portion as to how was because I'm the eldest daughter; so I'm the favorite." To a normal person, it would sound cruel. But that truly was how it worked in Drow society.

As they reached a very tall set of double doors, she paused for a few moments. She began to knock before a stern voice was heard. "Your footsteps are easy to hear. Come in, Iivraena." Allowing herself to roll her eyes while she could do so - and not get punished - she then opened the door.

Sitting upon a queen-sized bed was another Drow shorter by maybe a few inches than Iivraena. But even with that difference, as she stood, it was perfectly straight. A commanding gleam was seen in the crimson eyes that went from her daughter to the form beside her. Pulling out an amulet of her own from around her neck, she chuckled. "Oh? Is he, then, the result of how the Gate spell went?" It seemed even with his guise, Iivraena's mother knew it was really a demon standing before her.

Keeping her head bowed, Iivraena gave a nod. "Yes. He would like to ask you something in fact, if you would hear it."

"....Oh?" Gesturing for the demon to come closer, she nodded. "Do tell. It's rare for my daughter to bring others - men or women - into our House and even rarer that they actually have something vital to say. So ... amuse me, please."

 

[Shadowkiller]

The fiend nodded as he listened of how the mother was the mistress of everyone. One that should be controlling him. But since he already made his contract with Iivraena he would have to make her the new head of the house. When she said that she would lead when her mother dies then he would have to make that so. As they entered the large chamber he looked around the new room and then brought his attention to the Drow on the bed. He listened to them talk about the spell of his summoning and then to him abut Iivraena not bringing anyone here before now that made him slightly intrigued that this lovely drow was able to control her inner desires so well. Such will power will become a hindrance to his plan but shouldn't effect it much.

He then gently bowed down lowering his head showing the mother submission. "I thank you for allowing my to speak." He then slowly rose up strait again. "My name is Aarnott. As you know your lovely daughter has summoned me to kill off your rival family. I did agree to help after some of her witty convincing. The only thing i asked in return for ridding the family that you desire was for your daughters hand in marriage so i can join your family." he said with a proper tone so not to offend.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

The Matron Mother went silent, as if she had expected something to happen. And that she had; to be exact, the room had a permanent Zone of Truth spell cast within the room, so if anyone ever tried to lie to her, it would give her a hint. But .... that didn't happen. An eyebrow raised as she gazed from Aarnott to Iivraena. "....He ... is speaking the truth then?" Even without anything happening, it was obvious the two had disputed on that issue for quite a while with how hard it seemed for her to believe.

Iivraena gave a nod, keeping her head lowered. "It is, yes."

Walking up to Iivraena, the elder Drow made her look right into her eyes as she clenched her jaw. "So you listen to him but not me why now?" A sigh then a very rare smile crossed her lips. "Took you long enough ... stubborn one. But I suppose it is much better later than never. Very well ..." Letting go of Iivraena's jaw, she turned back to Aarnot. "Were it not for the fact I can feel she isn't possessed or being controlled, I'd wonder if that's exactly what you did. You have my consent. I expect you both to get everything that needs to be done finished."

It took quite a bit of will power to not rub her jaw, scowl, or anything of the like as her mother finally let go. "That is what we're doing today as we intend to get wed after the defeat of the opposing house."

"...Very well. I will allow you two to resume your duties. You are both dismissed."

More than content to be told to head out, Iivraena turned on her heels. Once she was out of earshot from her mom, she let out a slightly frustrated sigh. "....See what I mean about her? Ugh sometimes ...." She murmured, now massaging her slightly sore jaw as she tried to figure out what more needed to be done still.

 

[Shadowkiller]

He looked at them as the mother got close to her. He listened to them talked and wondered what was going to happen. When she grabbed her jaw he was almost tempted for a sec to rip the mothers arm off by its socket being a territorial being. But relaxed when she let go and almost smirked when she thought that he was controlling her. a weaker demon might have but a smart demon doesn't need to use such powers.

When they were asked to leave he bowed once more before following his mistress out. When she made the comment he smirked and responded. "it wouldn't take much for me to end her if you wished it?" He said as he held a hand and it changed to his demon hand engulfed in flames. But he then changed it back knowing she didn't want it for if she did he would have been ordered to in the chamber where she could have taken credit as him the only witness to say she did the act.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Iivraena Bae'lthan

Her head shook no quickly. "I meant it when I said I'm really not quite ready. That probably sounds pathetic I realize, being as old as I am. But I'm ... not. It seems pointless to take over now when for one, she's doing fine and moreover alive. It's tradition - regardless of what race - for the next in line to take over when the former ruler is deceased; not usually before." Inwardly sighing, her to-do list she had suddenly seemed to vanish from her mind. ...Hell ... ugh ... Her eyes closed as she led the two back into her room. Tapping her fingers upon her bedside mantle, her head shook in annoyance.

"The main thing that's coming back to me ... is proper attire. We're not as strict as other races ... but a slight alteration from my usual priest robes will be needed." An audible sigh left as she fell on her back, lying on her back. Were weddings always this stressful? She'd never realized it till now. "But even still, I doubt that will take the entire two days. I ... will figure that out in a bit. Right now .... even just talking to my Mother drains me at times. Mentally more than anything. I need to regain my bearings for the time being ... if you don't mind that is."
