Selene a young and sexy woman appearing to be the age of 19 made her way down the dark halls of the Zilorn palace in search of her master with news for him. She smiled to herself, obviously proud of her work as she moved quickly, wanting to be the first to give the news in hopes of some reward before one of the other lackys delivered the news and ruined her chances. It was always a game... who could get the best information first got rewarded..maybe she would get a nice frsh man slave...or a pet.....She licked her lips at the thought as she walked into the throne room.
"Master.....I have the most intriguing news for you.."

The throne room inside the palace of Lord Cervantes was everything one would expect it to be. Cast in perpetual darkness, the room was decorated with a single, lavish throne and a number of small torture devices off to the side. The marble floor contained the Cervantes Crest. The black and red symbol marked the area of the floor that opened into the vault below...where the tombs of former elders were maintained by weak human servants. Marquis would never waste one of his vampires on such a menial task.
When Selene entered, a small smirk crept across Marquis' face. She was one of his more...impressive possessions. Fierce and cunning, she also managed to please personally on the isolated occasion when Marquis desired such company. Nodding his head slightly, he spoke in a deep, yet surprisingly smooth voice. "What is it Selene..."

Selene closed her eyes at the sound of his voice which sent a shover down her spine. She then quickly regained her composure and smiled slyly at her master.
"I have heard rumour the elves are in an uproar. See every 10,000 years a child is born with the ability to talk to spirits and even control them. The delicious part is.... she is not elven this time and they dont have a clue as to where she is...which means master...she is out there somewhere... and if you could find her......well... I am sure you dont need a lowly servent such as I to tell you what that could mean for this Kingdom...and for you.."

Marquis nodded his head slightly as he gently rubbed his chin. As he thought about the possibilities, his eyes briefly flashed blood red before quickly returning to normal. Removing himself from his thoughts he returned his gaze to Selene, watching her intently.
"Tell me...how is it you came across this information, young one?"

She bit her lower lip softly, flashing him one of her innocenly seductive smiles. Her information intrigued him which ment she just might get something out of it..maybe she could finally beat one of her rivals for his attention.
"You know the shipment of slaves the orcs send us in exchange for certain..things..well the one you gave me did not want to die.. so he gave me information in hopes of saving his life. Of course it all depends on how useful it is to you my master. He is a human, one that appears to have lived in Evrae as a spy for the orcs but when he asked for more payment.... well...the Orcish Warlord was not happy..." she smiled "Are you pleased with me master?"

Marquis frowned slightly at Selene's initial response. "You WHAT!?" A dark, eerie mist quickly formed inside the throne room as thunder cracked outside and Marquis' eyes flashed blood red once more..his fangs slightly visible. "And who gave you the authority to bargain with a human without consulting me? Humans are prone to lying and cheating - anything to save their weak and frail bodies from premature extermination..." Allowing his anger to subside slightly, he sat back against his throne...looking Selene up and down.
After a few silently awkward moments, he cracked a small grin. "Still...your initiative is impressive and may yet pay off. As for whether or not I'm pleased, that remains to be seen. Though I must say you have managed to attract my attention significantly. It now resides with you to follow through. I need more information on this...elf."

"Master.......that is all there is I am afraid... no one knows who she is... or where to fin her though he says the Even are searching Evrae high and low with no luck. The Skylandrians and Arkadians have looked to and they have no found any sign of this spirit talker......Not even the Mauldurians ...the few intelligent ones that is know what to look for...Until she makes an appearance.....there is nothing any one can do."
She knew he would not like her answer but she would not lie to him

Marquis eyes Selene slightly before waving a dismissive hand. "Go and fetch this slave...bring him before me..." Marquis would get what he wanted to know...or he would force Selene to drink his life force right in front of him. Sometimes he worried about her..tendencies.. Still...her beauty and cunning made her a useful asset when it came to dealing with humans...particularly males.

She nodded her head knowing it was best not to argue with him if she wanted to live. She was far to beautiful to die now over such a trivial matter and besides there was still a way for her to come of this on top...all the slave had t do was behave and she was sure to be rewarded. Bowing to him she smiled at him once again before she departed the room,returning to her room where she had the slave tied up.
"My master...wishes a word with you human....." she forcefull grabbed his bound hands and began to drag the whimpering man from her room and back to where her master awaited. Once she had returned she forced the slave to kneel before Marquis.

Marquis eyed the slave slightly before he allowed a sadistic smirk to creep across his face. "Selene here has told me a great many interesting things. What do you know of this elf child? Specifically...why is it so important to the elves. I know what purpose it could serve in the wrong hands...but I am curious as to how they choose to use the child."

The man looked at Selene, fear apparent in his eyes. If he made the wrong move he would be dead but if he was careful they might keep him around at least for a little longer.
"M..my lord.. rumor has it.... she is not an elf. The elven keep track of those families rank as possible bearers to the child.....and none of them have her.....The elves are furious...... they refuse to believe the child was born of non elven blood.....as for their uses..... a Spirit talker once they have matured enough can summon forth som of the most power entities such as powerful dragon spirits.....even elementals...such as stone golems... fire worms....they would use her against their enemies..."

Marquis nods slightly, clearly taking in all the information. Pointing to the seal beneath the human, he commented. "Tell me...do you know what it is that remains under you?" Marquis smirked slightly...before the man could even respond...he moved at an impossible speed from his throne to a position just next to Selene. Picking her up gently, he carried a couple feet away. His movements were so quick that he almost appeared to materialize in random locations.
As the floor beneath the human began to open, Marquis allowed a smirk to creep across his face. In an eerie, deep voice he spoke. "You will serve me in the tomb of elders. There you will learn the meaning of pain and sacrifice. You will be sustained only in mediocrity...there you shall remain until I deem you worthy of joining the ranks of immortals..." Marquis glanced at Selene as the event unfolded...curious as to her reaction.

Selene watched in sick delight as the floor opened and the darkness below seemed to swallow the pathetic human that once knelt there. Knowing he would suffer sent a shiver down her spine but at the same time she knew that should she ever fail....she would suffer a similar fate so she knew better now to becareful and watch herself.
"Will you seek this child?.." she asked out of curiosity

Marquis watched Selene's reaction with a moderate level of pleasure. She had vast potential...she only needed to be guided in her quest to harness said potential. "I...will not. You...will." He turned to smirk sadistically at Selene, "Welcome to the Inner Circle, Selene. You shall have at your command...the entirety of our special assignments unit. This child must be found...and unharmed."

Moving slightly closer to her Master she brushed her hand against his own as if by accident. This is exactly what she had wanted, pleasing her master with information he would use to hopefully turn the tides against the United Kingdoms of Pendor, making them suffer as they had made the residents of Valdeeris and Mauldurn suffer after the last war. Now with this power she could acomplish anything,making her master more pleased with her then ever before especially after she caught the girl and brought her back.
"I will not let you down master..."
