Reversing Roles ... [Yuna&Shadowkiller's 1x1]

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

Drow, in general, had a few customs of sorts. One was usually avoiding leaving the Underdark. There were, however, exceptions. One of which was to go above ground, raid a town of no more than medium population, and return -- with some slaves if one was lucky enough. The most costly slaves that were bought from the Underdark were other Drow .... and humans, mainly due to their higher chances of being able to impregnate or get pregnant. Not that many Drow men were given that consent often; but if one was lucky, they could have that possibility.

The eldest daughter of the Hasar family had finished gathering all she felt would be needed for the raid. Unlike most Drow, she preferred the more stealthy ways of a rogue and thus relied on sneaking and slitting throats as opposed to becoming a priestess. It had definitely upset her Mother ... but in the end, she wound up accepting it, mainly from her status as the eldest daughter.

Double checking herself, she noted all that was on her. The main and perhaps most vital object .... was her dagger. She knew it to be somewhat foolish and risky, but she didn't bother too much with armor. By the time most people she went toe-to-toe against even tried to dodge her, she had already won. Ergo, she had never felt the need to cover a lot of her skin. That - also - was a Drow tradition; the less you were, the higher in status you were.

Giving a nod to herself, she exhaled deeply. Not that she felt too anxious .. but still, she knew all raids had their risks, regardless. As the head of the brigade signed for them to go, she ran out. They always conducted these at night so thankfully the damned sun was never an issue. Slipping into the shadows, she waited for the perfect opportunities. After slitting one throat, she'd retreat back into hiding then rinse and repeat, slowly killing human after human off ...

 

[Shadowkiller]

Randal was a travailing rogue that went to town to town making his living by kidnapping females and selling them to the slave trade. He was a expert of making chemicals that would knock out his opponents before they even get a chance to take a swing at him. He wore a large robe that covered his light armor and his assortment of daggers and short swords.

Today he was in a normal size town hoping to get a nice assortment of females to sell to the slave trade and make a nice profit. maybe if he got lucky and kidnap some royalty he could spread his connections in the slave trade so he can make a better profit for his next score. It was getting late and he had already set on some targets when the drows attacked. When they did he quickly hid and use his skills of stealth to hide from the attackers.

When he thought he was safe he heard someone come into his hiding place. it was a young sell shaped drow but luckily she didnt notice him and was attacking the gaurds that were passing by. When she was he took note of her body and her features and smirked as he slowly took out a vile of liquid that is smell alone could knock out a bull. He covered his nose as he waited and then tossed the vile at her. If she doges it or broke it the smell would not take long to fill up the area. she would soon fall victim to the liquid as well as passing drows and humans. When she was on the ground passed out he pulled out some rope and tied her up and put her deeper in the shadows as he had put some bee wax up his nose to stop any of the smell from affecting him. When other female dorws passed out when going by he would pull them in and tie them up as well soon getting five more before he ran out of rope and kept hidden till the attack was over. he looked over his now new score of drows that will fetch a high price for the rarity of drow slaves are greater then magical items.

Elari Hasar

It had seemed as if the raid was almost done. And - of course - all had gone smoothly. A proud smirk had been on her face ... until a new scent caught her nose, making her quickly turn to find the source. "Hm?! W-what ... " That was as far as she got before she began to feel unusually light-headed. Her head spun - several times she was pretty sure - before she felt her body given in; though very reluctantly as she collapsed on the ground, her dagger leaving her right hand.

How long Elari had been out was beyond her .. but as she began to regain her consciousness, she still felt a bit groggy. "...What ... hit me? No ... happened?" She murmured, beginning to sit up before feeling her wrists weren't in the right position to help her do what she wanted. A frustrated hiss left as she began squirming. How had this happened?! Everything had been going so smoothly ... whom had she missed in order for this to have happened? It was pissing her off that - somehow - someone had been able to sneak up on her and use an equally sneaky tactic to get her. Continuing to move her wrists roughly, she tried to gaze around for her dagger ... or at least figure out where she was now, aside from above ground still.

 

[Shadowkiller]

She would find her self in a moving wagon where five other female drow worriers were all striped naked with her with no arms. Randal was sitting in the front having the hourses pull the waggon as he looked back and he smikred. "well seems someone woke up. i hope you enjoyed your freedom before for we are going to the slave trade. you and your sisters will soon be sold off and used as the person desired. Maybe as sex slaves, maids or if your lucky someone that wants to get revenge and kill you right away." he said with a smirk. "But for you i think i will keep you for myself for i found your family crest telling you are royalty. So you better be a good girl" He siad as he laughed.

The wagon was heading to a town well known for the slave trade for selling slaves. it wasnt fare from it as the wagon went on a steady pace and would reach it by the afternoon perfect time for auctioning off his score.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

"...?!" Sure enough as she glanced down, she noted her neck was bare. Turning back with a sharp glare towards the ... human? Really? It'd been a pathetic human who'd seriously gotten her and her sisters? Oh that did not help her temper right now. "....You prick! Give that back!" Pushing her wrists against the side of the wagon she was against, she began improvising now that her dagger was gone. She began to move her wrists along the surface behind her, hoping to loosen - maybe even break - the ropes that were binding her. Tch be a good girl ... who does he think he's talking to ... ? No way in any of the layers of Hell would she just sit and wait to be used. No ... absolutely not. She'd fight back first; or damn well try at least.

 

[Shadowkiller]

Soon the wagon was in the middle of the town. The sun was just about setting when Randal got out and called out "Come one come all for a once in a life time opertunity. For i have brought you today drows" it didnt take long for slavers of small and large conections to come asking if it was true. He then went in and took one of the worrier drows and went out as shook and gasps were heard as it was true. Then there were cries of bids and offers of the drow. it didnt take long for the offer to get as high as 300 gold coins. it was sold to a price of 560 coins when people thought that was in Randal smirked as he said. "You think that was the only one i have 4 more up for sale. Bring i will start to action in 20 mins so you can get you coins ready." The slavers rushed away for there coins as he turned in. "After this i might be set for life." He said to the drows.

The action went on till night fall. the second sold for 800 coins. the third for 1000. The forth one took the longest as some of the smaller known slavers pooled there coins for a total of 1800 coins for the final drow. Randal couldn't believe he just made 4160 gold coins in one day more than he made his entire career. today was his lucky day. He went back to his wagon and looked at the royal drow. "Your sisters made me a vary rich man today. i wonder if i can triple it if i sold off a royal drow." he smirked as he then turned. "no i have other plans for you."

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

As sibling after sibling left, her head slowly bowed. While it was true that usually Drow had an 'every person for themselves' mindset ... even Elari couldn't be that cruel. If only she'd had her wrists ... maybe she could have stopped this bastard. But that hadn't been the case and the wagon hadn't aided her like she'd hoped. As the man dared to come back and speak to her, she shot him a glare. "....Be damn glad that there are bars separating us .... " She hissed angrily. Uneasily, she rested her head against the wall she had tried to use to get her wrists free. She would need more strength than she had now for him; that much was a given. Shaking in a mix of anger and fear, she found herself being forced to wait. Obviously they weren't going to remain in this town .... so she would have to see where she would end up and what exactly he did have in mind for her.

 

[Shadowkiller]

When the night grew darker the wagon stopped and Randal started to make a fire and started to make some food. he got the ingredients by using some copper coins he had and made some nice soap. he got himself a bowl and then her one. He walked over to her. "if you want to eat you will have to let me help you. But if you don't you will be of use before you die from starvation. But you would be to weak to kill me if you were to have an opportunity to." he said with a smirk telling her she could kill herself but he would have been done with her by then or she could live and suffer till she got revenge.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

If this man was trying to piss her off .... it was working. Glaring right into his eyes with her crimson ones, she gazed down at the bowl before giving a slow nod. "....You win for now ... " She murmured. This had hurt her pride; probably more than this bastard had begun to realize. But he had forced her to recall that it had indeed been a while since she'd had anything to eat. That, also, would help her regain some of her strength back. Pushing herself closer to the bowl, she sighed softly before opening her mouth, knowing that would be the only way she'd be able to eat while bound like this.

 

[Shadowkiller]

He smiled as she summited to her to allow him to feed her. What she didnt know was that Randal bought a drug in the town that would slowly break down her will power the more doses she took. He got a spun full and then put it in her mouth and let her eat it. he then repeat the process untill the bowl was empty. "think you have room for one more bowl?" He asked as some was still left in the pot. but also wanted to give her another dose so he could see how far her will has been altered.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

At first, Elari had thought it to just be paranoia. But by the time the bowl was empty, she could definitely feel .. something. She couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was .... but there was definitely something messing with her mind. Hissing in anger, she shot the human a glare. She should have expected that she supposed though. No way he would have just fed her to keep her alive. No .... that would have been too easy. "....You bastard! What did you do?!" A scream of frustration left as she shoved away any part of her mind that was trying to beg for her to listen to logic. She knew she wasn't still at full strength, not even half. But she was too infuriated to care. Twisting and pulling at her wrists, ready to break them if that was what it took to get out of the ropes, she squirmed even rougher than she had been earlier against the bonds.

 

[Shadowkiller]

Randal looked as the drow started to freak out as she seemed to try to get out or fighting herself. he sighed as he then pulled out the liquid again and just opened the vile so the smell could reach her and slowly knock her out again. He sighed as he finished the soup and then made his camp and slept. Inside of her body the drug would still affect her slowly untill she fully digest the soup dwindling away her will power.

by the time she would awake the wagon would be moving as they were heading to a mountain with a cave. What if she was to look would see it was an entrance to the under city where the drows dwell.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

Her eyes widened as she turned her head. "You prick! Don't ... you .... " She felt her eyes close ... again ... as the same drug went into her system again. ....Fucker .... was the last thought she heard in her mind before she completely blacked out, falling on her back in the wagon. More hours .... hours? Was it even that long? Time for certain passed before she felt her consciousness begin to return. "...Have I told you yet ... how much ... I ... hate you?" She murmured, blinking and looking around .... and then feeling herself try to pale a bit despite her dark skin. ".... And what ... the hell ... do you think you're doing here? Maybe the better question is how did you find this entrance? We're not that careless to let outsiders find them .... "

 

[Shadowkiller]

Randal smirked as he looked behind. "Aw your awake good good just in time to we reached out destination. and yes i wouldnt have found this place if it wasnt for the male rebal army." he said the army of male drows that seek to change so males rule in drow rather then females and sell there prisoners to drow slave traders. "They gave thisn location for anyone that captures any royal drow for they seek one if they want to work with any outsider." he said with an evil smirk.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

"...The male .... ??" Once she comprehended it, she hissed in anger. Her mom had said something about that. But back then, it was a rumor with no proof. A rumor that none of the women wanted to believe. After all, what Drow male would be that bold and stupid at the same time? They'd be killed the second they got found. But .... what's been keeping them safe? Mother or any of the others could have easily scryed upon them by now so ....

But his last words finally snapped her out of her thoughts. After they echoed a few times ... she laughed. "Ha! You expect me to obey them?! You're a fucking idiot! Why the hell should I? Because my wrists aren't able to be used?" Her head shook no. "Not enough of a reason for me .... "

 

[Shadowkiller]

He smiled and almost laughed. "Oh im not giving you to them. Your my proof that i'm of use to them." he said as he stopped the wagon. He looked around as they are suppose to be around here but they might not be here currently and they would have to wait as he then turned to her and smirked. "I heard that this group only will take people in that have proven they can kill or capture royal female drow. Its how they show they are superior then the female. I heard the leader has 5 former head of houses as his willing slaves now." he said to show her that what she would have thought as a small rebellion was much more serious.

He got off the the wagon and looked around and notice that no one was around. "hmm seems we will have to wait for them." He then moved the carage to a hiding spot for any drow patrols to find if they were to come to the entrance.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

...An alliance? She had to give the bastard credit for one thing; he did his homework very well. He was wise to find a way to be able to speak with Drow and not get killed. Granted, men were generally more merciful than women; but she'd heard and seen a select few whom could be worse than any Matron Mother. "....Tch, that does not make them superior than us. Idiots ... " She murmured, closing her eyes slowly.

They remained closed as he said they weren't around. For a bit ... she wondered if they would back stab him? The idea made her unable to help but smirk. Another that simultaneously worried her was the five slaves were ... willing? She found that hard to believe. It wasn't impossible, she knew but .... really? If they truly were, then their will had dwindled ... somehow. And that was what was bothering her. The task was easier said than done to accomplish. How had that happened she wondered?

 

[Shadowkiller]

He then started to set up camp. The cave had a cold breeze coming in. he looked in the wagon. "Cold in there with no cloths. I might be willing to give you some if you are willing to do something." He said with a smirk seeing if she might want to get something to keep her warm or if she will freeze and not get any sleep. He wasn't going to do her now. He wanted to see how much of his will he can break slowly.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

Elari had put up with swallowing her pride to accept food earlier. That - it had seemed - had been a huge mistake; one she wouldn't dare repeat. Even disregarding the sabotage on her food ... there was the obvious undertone that he would be demanding something too unworthy for himself. He already had obtained a lot he didn't deserve .. hell if she let him get all he desired so easily. With a scoff, she pulled her knees up and rested her head upon them. "Don't push your luck ..." She murmured, closing her eyes slowly. "Just because I'm not a priestess does not mean my will is weak ...."

 

[Shadowkiller]

He smirked as he nodded. "Ok have it your way. All i was going to ask for a nice dance. But guess that is to much for some nice warm cloth." He said as he sat near the fire he mad. sadly for her the wind blew the heat away from her. He put her cloths and also a large clock away he was going to give her if she accepted.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

Elari quickly bit down on her lower lip. Oh she had been infuriated at the supposed request. But she also knew saying anything aloud would only fuel him on. ...Fucking prick! We're Drow, not some common bar wench! Lousy, smug, no good .... And her thoughts went on and on, not stopping many times if ever as more and more curses went through her mind. She had felt the wind direction from when she woke up so she wasn't too astounded. It had been why she had put her knees up and her head upon them. It'd be better with her wrists free she knew ... but this was definitely better than nothing she knew. Light shivers trailed as some of the breeze did make contact with her body. Keeping silent, she sent up silent prayers to Lolth. Even though their goddess was chaotic, surely she wouldn't seriously let this man win ... right? She'd let something happen to make her gain freedom somehow ... wouldn't she?

 

[Shadowkiller]

He would look at her every once and a while seeing her anger filled face. he smirked at that as he warmed up to the fire. He then got some dried meat and ate some as he waited. he looked again as he notice her praying. He smirked as he was going to ruin it when he heard something and he smirked. "Well seems we have visitors come on out."

After he said that male drows come out from their hiding place. not a small group but around 30 of them. He smirked as he saw them and he asked. "Is this the group seeking to dominate your female counter parts." he said with a joke. one drow walked up to him and pulled a dagger and spoke. "What makes you speak to us so formally up world-er." He smiled as he raised his hand and pointed to the wagon. "That drow there is of royalty. he then reached under his cloak and some males pulled out swords as he then pulled out the family crest. "Here is the proof i took from her of her royalty" he said as one male went up and looked at it as he smirked and put his dagger away. The others followed his example. "You have proven your worth up world-er. So what you seek to join us or to form an alliance?" the male asked. He then smirked. "I seek to be partners in a business but i rather talk to your leader if thats ok." The male nodded. "We shall take you to the leader." he bowed and joined the other males as Randal walked over to the wagon and had the houses follow the group.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

"...." Elari bit harder on her lower lip. She ... was .... pissed! Everything had been robbed from her, including her siblings and family crest. And now this ... this monster had actually won favor with a male rebellion army?! This almost felt unreal .... she wanted it to be a horrid nightmare at worst. But the breeze and the new sounds of other Drow around made her - reluctantly - turn her head aside. Sure enough, she saw all the proof she needed. The way he had described it though, he made it sound like there were less than 10 in the whole group, not 3 times what she thought. Swallowing softly, she ..... somewhat uneasily .... watched where she was being led to. Maybe if she could figure out which entrance he'd found ... along with some other things .. she could use it to her advantage. But for that to even try to work, she would need to pay attention.

 

[Shadowkiller]

When they got close one male went up to him and asked him to cover the cage so if the royal was to escape before the ceremony it would be trouble. He smirked as he pulled a vile and the smell filled up the wagon and he covered the males nose before it would effect them and would get her.

By the time she came though they were deep under ground in one of the old abandon underground cities lost from one of the drow wars. she was being guarded by some males as Randal was away talking to the leader about the business proposal he had for them and also about the ceremony.

 

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Elari Hasar

A frustrated hiss and scream left. "DAMN THAT THING TO .... TO .... " She had wanted to end the sentence with 'Hell' but she wasn't allowed the chance. Feeling her consciousness slip for the third time, her body collapsed forward whilst still in the wagon. Before it completely left, however, she had caught a word that got her attention. ... Ceremony? Oh gods ... am I going to be killed? The thought echoed in her mind and even during her sleep. In fact, it was what made her abruptly wake up after some time ... fear she would be killed in her sleep. But ... thankfully that hadn't happened. Otherwise she wouldn't have woken up to begin with. Burying her head back upon her knees, tears of frustration and anger finally began to fall down her face. It had dawned on her; there would be no help. Even if her sisters hadn't been caught ... this was it. She really was stuck here ... with this man. All she could do was wait .... though what for she had no idea yet.
