Thread: Underdark Dealings (Esyel & Alvis Alendran's 1x1)

Elari Venoch'Xuileb'Brou Alaunvyll almost literally saw it. That desperate, hungry, and so-very-wanting look. It was all there right in Ktonos' eyes. Normally, it was when he badly wished to be violent with little to no restrictions holding him back. This time, however, even the Matron could see that there was obviously something he hadn't been able to satisfy himself with in a long while a woman. Alaunvyll most definitely knew and hadn't forgotten about the previous incident in which he used one of her daughters. That had, truth be told, been part of the reason she had dared to tease him. The other? Her own amusement nothing more, nothing less. Needless to say, Alaunvyll wasn't sure if she felt more astonishment or disappointment when he turned and left. Not many men within her own house could even turn their backs on her, especially after such gestures she made were like that. Ah well. It just meant he truly was strong and not only in a physical manner but mentally. That being said, Elari would definitely have a hell of a challenge for her. Crimson eyes rested upon what looked like an ordinary mirror nearby. With a quick murmuring of an activation word, however, it revealed itself for what it truly was a scrying mirror. In the glass, Elari came into view. Not that Alaunvyll didn't trust she wasn't training. Oh no, she knew her daughter was. This, rather, was ... the easiest way to check up on her. The Matron would see that, for the most part, Elari was easily focusing and properly channeling her powers. There were a select few moments where she almost lost concentration but quickly regained it. Alaunvyll continued to monitor her daughter for about another hour before making the image vanish. She would trust the Drow Psion to do her role. Or, on the off-chance she didn't, the Matron would simply hand out punishment to her. It made no real difference, so long as Ktonos eventually wound up dead. A good three to five more hours flew by before Elari felt that it was now time. Slowly, almost reluctantly even, she began to make her way out of her room within the temple and began the trek home. Why me? she mused, gripping her lower lip nervously. All the same, her Mother's words continued to repeat in her mind that he had never dealt with psionic powers before. Ergo, he was most vulnerable to these assaults. Well, he should be. Still ... why did I have to have these? The almost unnatural abilities truly were a double edged blade. They could be a miracle at times and a curse at others. Right now, Elari couldn't help but feel as if it were the latter. Elari took a deep breath as she walked past all the servants, going right into her room and lying down upon her bed. She wasn't going to sleep heavens no. But she would pretend to look this way after going through with the plan. First thing was first, however. A quick mental scan allowed Elari to feel that Ktonos was still in the mansion. From what she could feel, he was indeed asleep. Her white eyes closed as she focused on the weapons master. It wasn't quite as strong compared to if she were in front of him -- or at least near his door. But he would definitely begin to feel a foreign sensation. It'd start off almost as if a tingling feeling was dancing across his skin. Soon, however, it would shift to burning and finally, begin to switch as if an invisible force was attempting to crush his bones, muscles, and organs even. At the same time, she continued to make certain he remained unconscious. Or, if he woke up and fought it off, she'd halt and feign her sleeping act. But no damn way was she going to get caught or die tonight. No. Elari would definitely make certain of that much.
