Mother Of The Frozen Reaches
  • Threadmarks
    • Few could grab a Dragonslayer's aid for delivering a mere letter, and even fewer that couldn't enter the halls of Anor Londo. Thinking over who could've sent the message, you figured they wouldn't lie to worsen what has already happened. Seath had already displayed his madness, and his experimentation knows no bounds, be it his own daughter or a peasant's child.

    You will go there and see for yourself, if only to confirm the rumors were true.

    The plan you hatched involved taking Priscilla with you on the cover of a trip, giving those within Anor Londo's walls time to calm down. While you trusted your knights dearly, one mistake is all it could take...Especially after what threats you've heard, none shall harm her...

    ...

    Traveling was fairly simple, you kept your head down, used illusions to hide you and your daughter's nature, and walked with the traveling caravans towards Seath's castle. It was on the edge of Lordran's borders, a place where many passed through Drangleic to another land beyond even their borders. You knew not where it lead, but that wasn't your goal.

    After a few days of travel, you met up with a division of your greatest Outriders near Seath's Castle. While they were known as Outriders by you, this specific group earned the nickname of the 'Legion of Frost'. While you needn't worry about bringing an army, you needed someone to watch Priscilla as you sneaked into Seath's castle to confirm the letter's contents. Four of them were willing to watch young Priscilla, and you gave them explicit orders. Were you to not return after two days, they were to head to Oolacile while a few of their number went to alert Gaea of what happened.

    Continuing your journey, you made your way through the hell that surrounded Seath's castle. The land had remained untouched, yet there were horrific creatures born of his creation. Strange blue creatures that seemed to shriek if you drew close, and gray scaled lizards with dull blue crystals growing out of them...Those were surprisingly harmless, and somewhat adorable with their high pitched whines and skittering.

    Ignoring them, you pushed on.

    ...

    Moving through the halls of Seath's Archives, it was surprisingly easy to pass by the distracted scholars and aspiring sorcerers. Depressingly so, considering they were so enamored by their books that they probably wouldn't notice you if you dropped the illusion of invisibility. Yet that was a chance you wouldn't take, not at all.

    Stepping through the halls, you found yourself in the darker corners of his archives. It began to resemble more of a prison than anything else, and you noticed that there was a lack of guards here.

    Looking through the cells, you noticed that there were two people within them. The first was one of the Slave Knights, dressed in a barely clinging red hood and wearing gauntlets and rusted steel boots that looked in terrible condition. You couldn't make anything of his face, nor how he ended up within Seath's dungeons.

    The other was a quiet pyromancer, wearing dark bandages around her head and a worn cloak that resembled those of Izalith. She was quiet, not even bothering to make a noise as the Slave Knight was, knocking his head against the cell's bars to keep out the silence. Figuring they must've heard something, perhaps they could be useful.

    ...

    [] Free them, perhaps they could help.
    [] Leave them, Seath might find you if his test subjects are released.

    [] Write In...

    • I'm for freeing them, if that pyromancer is from Izalith we can maybe improve relationships with Witch of Izalith and get more backing against Seath if this comes to court.
    While Slave Knight can give us intro inside the Ring city.

    Pyromancer Nina & Knight Isaac
  • Threadmarks
    • Freeing the two was simple, the locks were simply too fragile to hold up against any assault. Opening both cells, the black clad lady of Izalith dusted herself off, bowing her head to you. As for the Knight, he simply stood up, sparing a moment to introduce himself. Slave Knight Isaac, and the Pyromancer politely introduced herself as Nina.

    "While your freedom is a gift, do you know of two girls trapped here?" The two of them most likely had information, information that could be paramount to rescuing the girls detailed in the stranger's letter. Both of them thought of it, and Nina was the one to hold the answers.

    She was soft spoken, polite, much like the Queen of Izalith herself. "I may have heard the sorcerers speaking of two such children, kin to dragons perhaps?" It was possible, and you motioned for her to go on. "Two sorcerers spoke of the girls being sealed in the lowest point of the dungeons, but to get there would require a much more...Forceful hand." You were fully prepared to use force, though you wished to keep things quiet in the likely case that Seath was around here somewhere.

    Isaac silently agreed with her, speaking his part. "Sorcerers, crystal magic and some seek to elevate themselves to Seath's Level." He pointed out, giving a somewhat horrifying description of them. "Some have tried to ascend to the dragon's level, only failing and creating mindless creatures that die within days of creation."

    Well that was certainly...Disturbing, but if necessary you'll dispose of a few.

    ...

    Following the two's instructions, you went deeper into the dungeons. You passed by cells filled with the dead, dying, or worse off. Like those who had crystals growing out of their bodies, stuck to the wall or floor. You couldn't help them, but you could at least help those two little girls.

    Finally reaching the door where the girls might be kept, you hid behind a nearby corner, looking into the hallway. There was one sorcerer, quietly reading a book despite the sounds of agony near him. He was oblivious to your presence, not noticing you nor your companions. That meant your illusions were holding up, and you had a hunch that this Sorcerer knew more than his comrades.

    After all, why would Seath leave him in charge?

    Illusions & Gentle Fury
  • Threadmarks
    • Sneaking forth, you were a shadow of ice and fury that struck like a serpent. Slamming the Sorcerer against the wall, you froze his mouth shut before looking him in the eye. There was fear in his eyes, and you kept your hand around his throat before speaking with a calm, furious sounding voice.

    "Listen closely, I will give you a simple choice." The warmth in your voice was gone, and you were ready to kill. "You are going to tell me where the girls are, or I will show you no mercy." He didn't say anything, and you were ready to explain just what you were doing. "I will freeze the skin on your flesh, and peel it off, slowly." This got him whimpering, and soon you went into deeper into details.

    Moments later, you finally asked him again. "So come on, tell me where the girls are." The Sorcerer nodded, and you unfroze his mouth for him to speak.

    "Don't hurt me Lady Oritha, I beg of you!" It was a short while until he spoke, giving you the answers you sought. "The two girls are within the chamber behind me, but how did you find out?" It was strange, few could've known about the girls...Unless one of Seath's loyal followers divulged the information to an outsider.

    Freezing him to the wall, you shattered the lock and opened the door to find...Two little girls, one with midnight black hair and similarly colored feathered wings. The other was small, thin, with scales around her neck and younger than Priscilla. A calm rage fell over you, before fading as you approached them.

    Isaac and Nina were quick to follow you, and both of them were surprised at the sight of the two children. You introduced yourself to the children as Oritha, Goddess of Frost. As you introduced yourself, you noticed their draconic traits, similar to Priscilla.

    They're definitely part of your family now, nothing will stop you.

    Now...What shall you do? Seath will inevitably find out about the missing girls, and try his hardest to get them back. Whether by his own claws, or through something far more sinister.

    What to do?

    ...

    [] Pick up Priscilla firstly, introduce her new siblings to their new sister.

    [] Seek out...
    -[] Gaea, she's older than Gwyn or Seath, and one of the few that's earned their fear/respect.
    -[] Gwynevere, surely she'll be partial to your plight.
    -[] Izalith and her Daughters, she was adamant that she'd fight for Priscilla's right to live among Anor Londo.
    -[] Velka, the Goddess of Sin, she'll surely take issue with Seath's experiments.

    [] Write In...
