Title: Arcane Maiden
Author: Rune Artisem - OES
I stood over the collapsed woman and let out a smile. She laid upon the floor of my tower, gasping in terror. It was such a wonderful sight. "I must admit... Your skills were a bit impressive, for a flesh bag..." I said calmly. It appeared that my kind words had no effect upon her, as the look of terror seemed to increase. "Do ye have a name, or are ye just another blank?" I demanded.
"Vai...Vail...Vailanna...." she muttered. I smiled and then proceeded to back hand the wench across my chamber. "Do not think for a mere moment... That your help with the rats was wanted or needed... Those fools would not have hindered me, and most certainly not slain me... And now you have come in my way of an ancient tome that I require... You are lucky you have lasted this long in the presence of Rune Artisem..." I informed her. With that, I snapped my fingers and two skeletal knights arose from the bone covered floor. "These two were once the finest guards of Moonglow... They will make certain that your death is quick and painless..." And with that, I motioned my right hand towards the girl. She was quickly back onto her feet, and dispatched one of the skeletal knights with ease. However, the second one managed to get behind her and grappled her. I let loose a small smile as I thought the girl's death was at hand. It was then that she was able to flip the skeletal knight over and bring it crashing upon the ground. The pieces of bones flew in several directions, and a piece cut me on my right cheek... Then the girl made the most idiotic mistake of her existence... For she approached the Magus of the Arcane...
"Impressive..." I said while slowly clapping. "I am quite impressed that ye were able to dispatch those creations with such ease... But you will most certainly find that fighting me will not be the same..." She let loose a small cry and began to charge me... I simply muttered "An Ex Por" and much to her surprise, she came to a sudden stop. I walked towards the girl and placed my right hand on her face. "To think... The gall that you rats can muster is sim...." I then came to a sudden loss of words as I gazed into her eyes. Something was there... Something ominous... Something beckoning me... Something I had seen... Something.... Someone...
Mother...
Something in her eyes reminded me of my mother... But that was impossible! My mother had died when she gave birth to me... And yet... Something called to me in the shape of her eyes... It was then that my entire existence flashed before me... Living on the streets of Vesper as a child... My servitude to Monric of Moonglow... My services to the Master, Caina, and the Ebon Skull... My passage into Unlife... And then I saw for the first time... My first moments of existence... I looked around and saw a few healers working as if in a panic... And then I saw a woman who I laid next to... She seemed to be in much pain, and on the verge of death... And I looked into her eyes... This was my mother... And then darkness came...
The next thing I felt was the impalement of a kryss that pierced my upper left chest. The girl had struck a wonderful blow against me. With this sudden jolt of pain, I was able to return to my senses. I grabbed the girl's hands and separated them from the kryss. I then tossed her against the wall of my tower, much like an angry brat does with a doll. I was able to remove the kryss with much ease even though a blow of this magnitude would have killed a normal human instantly. A pity I had long sense discarded my mortal coil... I then approached the slumped over girl and inspected her. A bit bruised and knocked out, but in perfect condition... My right hand then grew with fire as I muttered "Kal Vas Flam" and eyed her. However, the flame soon disappeared as I thought of something that would be much use to me... I then summoned a flesh golem and had her moved to a more suitable area...
She awoke strapped to a table with several creations surrounding her. Of course, her screaming followed soon after. "Now now... Dear, Vailanna... I am not going to kill ye as I was... No... Ye helped me with those rats back in Britain... And I thank ye for that... And to show ye my appreciation, I will allow you serve me for all eternity..." I slowly explained to her. "No! Please!" she screamed. I smiled and looked into her eyes again... The thoughts of my mother came rushing back, and I welcomed them. Although this might be a different person, I would not allow my mother to leave me again... "I am giving you an honor, my dear... To serve as my slave..." I motioned to one of my creations and it brought me the prepared potion. This would change her views, thoughts, and emotions... She would be mine after consuming it... Mine and forever... My laughter matched her screams in unison as she was forced to drink the potion...
And thus my Arcane Maiden was born...
Mine... Forever...
Mother...
