Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Rystil Arden]

"Don't worry, Vasha. It'll be okay. Your father is looking down on you right now and smiling, and your heritage will always be yours."

 

[Bront]

"You're so wise sometimes Louteah." She gives her a hug and a kiss. "If you can, I'd like you to be there for the cerimony. It will be nice to have the Sisterly support."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Sure, Vasha. I'd be honoured to join you."

 

[Bront]

"Thank you. It means a lot to me." She gives Louteah a kiss. "I love you Sister, I'm lucky to have you in my life."

Vasha heads to bed, but before she goes to bed, she meditates for a bit on Arris, glad that her love and sacrifice have ment so much to her. Perhaps hoping for a comforting embrace. Eventualy, she falls asleep.

When she awakens, she dons her ruby red dress and dons her disguise per usuall. She hopes the dress will help with the cerimony, as it's embrace is warm like Arris's.

*Louteah and Alyz meet Vasha for breakfast before the ceremony.*

"They still have Zythryd, and there isn't an opening yet...but I hope soon. As for his possessions and his slaves, there is both good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

 

[Bront]

"The bad news first I think. Just lay it all out Alyz."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Okay, the bad news is that Vrymiin killed one of Zythryd's two slaves. The good news is that they took the other one away from her after an injunction for flagrant abuse, and so Zythryd's other slave will be going up for auction in two days."

 

[Bront]

"She killed one? How awful. What kind of monster did I unleash on the world? Isn't there any way to show her the error of her ways?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I don't know...she's awful...From some of the things she's been saying publicly in an effort to draw you out if you are still here, it seems like she is doing this because she wants to teach you the error of your ways...I think she longs to see you hate, Vasha, and she is willing to destroy and corrupt everything she can find that she knows you hold dear...She's pretty much ruined everything he owns, too...His home is now empty of all the things he cherished that she sold to buy her drugs, and she'll probably sell the real estate itself soon..."

"What a terrible woman...She reminds me of some of the nasty Dragonlords I know..."

 

[Bront]

"All I did other than my job as a slaver was try to give her more freedom." Vasha sighs. "Well, one slave is free at least, and we can save her so I can appologize to her."

"Let's go, no use exhausting ourselves over her, we have important work to do."
