[QUOTE="talien, post: 5045633, member: 3285"] [b]City Under Siege: Part 1a – Continental Influence[/b] Sebastian woke up with a start. Someone was in his room. “This is all wrong!” hissed a feminine voice. “I shouldn’t be here!” The dark-kin roused himself from the bed, spreading his wings out before him. “You…you look familiar. Weren’t you Thralen’s maidservant?” The woman glared at him. The whites of her eyes were showing. “You recognize me, even in complete darkness?” She pointed at Sebastian’s eyes with forked fingers. “Then I’ve no choice: [FONT="Impact"]Cadic take your sight![/FONT]” Sebastian screamed and clutched his eyes. “It was you! You were the spy who directed Mentire! You were pulling the strings on behalf of the Emperor!” “Yes, but…” she stuttered. “I was defecting. This wasn’t…I’m not supposed to be here!” Kham appeared in a flash of light. He looked surprised. “What the hell?” Before he could respond, Cunegunda pointed at him. “[FONT="Impact"]Cadic take your mind![/FONT]” Kham fell to his knees, clutching his head. “Kham?” Sebastian tried to feel around him, unsure of what was going on. “What are you doing here? “I was…on my ship…the Divine Fury.” He groaned. “In battle against barbarians…tried to… switch places with my…first mate. And ended up here!” “The shadow-jump,” said Cunegunda. “It must have overwhelmed the Beltinian wards protecting Enpebyn.” She looked around. “It caused a rip between the fabric of Arcanis and the Plane of Shadow. That’s got to be the reason I was shunted here!” Bledin burst into the room, wearing a chain shirt, slippers, and wielding Windcutter. “What’s going on?” “Look out!” shouted Sebastian. Beldin whirled just as the Cadite stabbed at him with her shortsword. He blocked it with Windcutter. The dwarf advanced on the slight woman. “You’re the Censuri spy that framed Vlad! Come to finish what you started?” Cunegunda dropped her sword. “You don’t understand,” she cried piteously. “I’m not supposed to be here. This was a mistake!” “A mistake?” Beldin lowered his axe. “This is all wrong!” shouted Cunegunda again. “This is…” She looked down at the floor beneath her. Pools of darkness were spreading wider and wider around her. The black pools sprouted white teeth that formed a circular maw over ten-feet wide. “Run,” she whispered. “RUN!” With a yelp, the slanderer of Vlad, loyal Cadite, and Censuri spy, disappeared into the maw of the beast.
