[Vile] Maiden of Pain's Redemption

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*As the ravens dive, Loviana slashes Skada through the air, and the ravens abort their dives, cawing in alarm. Wira scrambles up the slope, with Loviana close behind her. The ravens watch at a wary distance, some landing on the red-haired woman. They begin to peck at her corpse, a fitting end to such a foe. Gasping with effort, Wira finally reaches the top, her hands and knees bloody from where she slipped. She heaves herself through the gate, and Loviana follows her.*

Loviana! Where are you? I couldn't reach you. I found Silversilk... I thought she had done something to you... Orshallan's thoughts once again flow over Loviana's mind, brimming with worry for her, as well as an odd undercurrent of frustration not directed at her.

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Loviana eyes grow cold as she bends over in the attempt to catch her breath, Good, I would like to talk to that woman… Hopefuly me and company will be their soon.

Even though she know that Orshallan will have more questions for her Loviana pushes thoughts of him away for a moment as she turns her caring eyes upon the girl, “So Wira, how did you manage to earn Loviatar’s wraith?”

"The Pain Goddess? I... there was a woman in our village, and she was accused of dark witchcraft. We stoned her and cast her out into the wasteland to die. We later found out she was innocent... I was one of her accusers, I thought she had cursed by husband to sicken and die because he chose me as his bride and not her. I was taken from my house one night... and ended up there," Wira says slowly, each word dragged out of her with great reluctance through bloody and torn lips.

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Loviana gives a reassuring smile, “Well I’m not here to judge you Wira, but you should try to make amends… If you have no objections I think we should get moving.”

Loviana waits for Wira to decide and join her before heading towards the bright corridor, “So what’s the name of your village? Maybe I can help you find your way home…”

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Wira's story seems very plausible for one dragged into the Halls of Pain. She caused great, unnecessary pain to another, and probably enjoyed it. Such a punishment is not unheard of. She seems to be teling the truth.*

"My village was Hammerdown, north of Ice Lake, across the border from Low'verok," she explains. "And if I do return... what should I do to make amends? I don't know what to do!" The last is said a bit hysterically.

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

With a slight frown Loviana pauses as she collects her thoughts, “I’m not the best when it comes to advice but I guess you would be best off with letting your heart guide you… I guess without evening knowing it, it’s been my spiritual guide of late.”

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"I... I'll try. I guess I'll try anything at this point. Can we get out of here please?" Wira says slowly.

*Retreating out of the other passage, it eventually comes to a false wall in an alley. Circling around, Loviana finds the dress shop once again, where Orshallan has Silversilk tied up, and several guards investigatin the place. When he sees you, he speaks a quick word to another guard, and flies out of the shop to embrace you tightly.*

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Loviana warmly accepts Orshallan’s greeting and gives of her own in the form of a long tender and passion kiss. After ending the kiss and whispering seductively that a true greetings would have to wait till they where alone Loviana turns to the girl.

“Oh! I managed to pick up a stray while I was away… Orshallan, this is Wira. She’s from a small village north of Ice Lake though lately she seems to have lost her way.”

With her words Loviana gives Orshallan a hidden look that suggest the young lady hasn’t just physical lost her way...

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Orshallan disengages himself from Loviana to greet Wira with outstretched hands.*

"I am sorry for the pains you've suffered, and hope that I will be able to help you find your way, whatever the road you must travel," he says. As he speaks, Wira's wounds fade to nothing, healed by Orshallan's faith. She gasps suddenly and feels her face, and bursts into tears. Orshallan comforts her in a brotherly fashion, and speaks to Loviana briefly.

"My love, the guards have examined the place carefully, and disarmed what traps there were to be found. They have Silversilk in the back of the store under guard. I assumed you would want to question her," he says softly.

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Smiling like a giant cat about to pouch on the unexpected Loviana quickly replies, “Of course my dear.”

She pauses long enough to determine rather or not Orshallan would be escorting her or if he will stay behind to take care of Wira, Oh, my dear Orshallan, I imagine you collect a number of strays don’t you?
