"My forests were burned down, my children were destroyed with a snap of a finger...what is to be blamed, technology? Or simply the emotions of my children which have gone unguided throughout these years, my children who have not heard my voice for ages, for centuries...seemingly forever. But now it dawns to me, I have awakened from my slumber, I have moved form the forest-into Phibrizzo's care it seems. A child of mine he is not, yet he proves to have some insight into this land they call Oerth." Mistress Tao calmly lounges in a private chamber provided to her from Hellmaster. "And although he is not good, he has provided myself a faithful servant...although outof nature's order, what does he intend? However he has promised to help me rebuild this world as it once was, and..."
The door to her room abruptly opens.
A messenger comes in, his eyes closed, "Phibrizzo has sent you a message, he wants you to go to a conferance in Loritmils to negotiate with other nations for us, it might help your cause."
"Very well then, i'll be on my way, you may look at me now."
The messanger opens his eyes, and although he is not blinded, he is almost stunned by the mistress' beauty. He finds himself blushing, and delivers a document gracefully, before being escorted out by Mistress Tao's skeletal guard, the High Guardian Taerix, much to the youthful messengers discomfort.
"We shall be going then I presume." says Mistress Tao to her assigned guardian, who gives only a slight nod.
(Don't worry, you have my assurance, IC and OOC, that Mistress Tao will not use any of her beauty abilities or spells as long as no one attacks or offends her, and that her guardian will be retained by her.)
