"Yes. I did have my reasons, as you are well aware." Replied the drow who was somewhat unamused by his truthfulness. "Abuse this power and ask me to say it agian, or simply accept that you heard the truth from a liar."
"What will you do now that you have left Lloth? She will send someone in a half hearted attempt to kill you or sacrifice you, or someone in your family will pay dearly for it, or maybe she wont do anything. It is Lloth after all. The greatest Chaos is always caused by the stray Sheep, and not the devout followers."
"Then again, this is a nifty spell. You could interogate me further, find ways into my fortress, and report to Malik like a faithful servent. Anything I tell you, he will try to take by force and then try to use against me, but by the time he can take iniative on those weakness I will have changed them. If you ask me what my auxilery plans are, you will only have out of date information. I should stop talking, but I can't. Oh, you asked me my reasonings so I am reasoning."

"Lloth can sends whoever she likes, I evaded her once and I'll do so again. I'm not worried about Lloth, I can handle her. But as to what i will do, I will continue living my life the way I have for the last few months. I will work for Malik when he asks and learn what I need to learn from Sevilin. That's what I intend to do." She said it with all the confidence of a drow who was confident in her ability to protect herself and those around her. "You've given me reasons, I'll decide for myself which are true and which are the lies. I think I have a pretty good idea anyway, but how long do you intend to keep me Tarathiel?"

Tarathiel smiled at a specific comment, "You called me here. I think you can leave whenever you wish."

"Ah so my wishes do get some consideration, that's very nice to know. I like it when my wants and desires are considered." She glanced aroudn teh space adn then back at Tarathiel and smiled that flirtatious smile that came so naturally to the females of her race. "So it is up to me when I leave? Well then, I suppose if business is concluded..." she said nothing else on purpose waiting to see his reaction.

"Business is an inaccurate assesement of this situation." Tarathiel replied. "Yes, it is up to you when you leave." He narrowed his eyes at speaking that part, she knew that. She was going to play with him. "If you don't want to leave, you can stay here with me." He paused, "Forever..." In all honesty, he wouldn't exactly mind that. Of course he was honest, he didn't have the mental compacity to confront her. "Forever and ever, to when ever you wish that my company ill suits you, and perhaps another drow, elf or human meets your fancy." Honest, but he could still maneaouver with truth. Truth was after all, only a lie... Wasn't it?
"How would you like to stay here with me, why are you still here with me. Do I interest you?"

She raised an eyebrow at him and seriously considered his statement. "Forever is a long time, besides Tarathiel something tells me you find favor with someone else." She watched him closely, "But would it affect you if I said no? Would you be upset? Would you beg me to stay or happily bid me luck on my travels?"

Did that first sentance end with a question? Damn these magical compulsions. "I find favour with many others." She didn't specify which kind of favour, not that she really needed to.
"I would be heart broken and feel very regected, and somewhat annoyed and angry, maybe even murderous. I am a drow after all. I am compulsed to beg you to stay her with me forever. After all, I did suggest it."
"Should you leave, I would bid you fare well, and perhaps see to it that you do. My reach is long in these tunnels and you are perticularly interesting to me."

"If I left, I would not be rejecting you I can promise you that I would never reject you." She laughed softly, then shook her head, "But as for now, I wish to be back with my friends. There is too much to be done to stay here with you as much as I might want to, I must return. There are things I still have to lesrn but I sm flattered."

"Then you should go. I still need to put my face back together. But I guess then, I'll be seeing you later." The drow bowed to the female, and straightened up. "A tip of advice about your foe, should you follow Malik into the heart of the soulless. They are pretty easy to kill compared to the Earth Dragons and watch out for the wizarding ones with the fireball rods." The drow shrugged. "I didn't actually see the lich, he may be immobile. Good luck to you." With those final words of advice, the drow smiled rather peacefully for a male drow.
((KK, i am going to bed. See you later Miss Stars.))

She was sitting on a rock back where they first started, arms crossed and looking none to happy. Fingers of one hand was tapping on her armor in almost irritated fashion. Could they hurry up already? Sure...she had stalked out without them but did they have to be so slow about catching up? Piper wanted this over with, wanted to get it done. Though she had no particular idea of why she felt that way at all.

She nodded, poor Tarathiel, broken cheekbones. But she lifted her hand in teh common gesture of goodbye. "Until next we meet Tarathiel, Son of Lloth." And then the darkness began to fade. She glanced around but the others appeared to be frozen, like he'd stopped time or something. And then seh blinked and everyone was moving again. Which meant that no one had any idea what had just happened to her. Well that worked for her, she was no longer bound to serve Lloth, not that she ever really had, after all she was still in training. If she had been an actual priestess Lloth would come after her with a vengeance. As it was, Zahara doubted Lloth even cared what happened to her. A glance up at Sevilin, sh ewondered what he'd say if he found out that she was no longer Llothian. Could be interesting. But she was going to get her mind off of him adn focus on something more important."So...what's next?"

"Well then. Thank you for the limited help you could provide. at least now I have to only minorly concern myself with a potential orc god. I was hoping that perhaps you might have given insight on how to best organize my forces, but you can't. your vision is too limited in this particular matter."
A slight smirk.
"As for your demand to close the gate. I'll take it under advisement. like it or not, Oracle. extra planar travel is going to happen. be it Kieran and Fianna to see thier daughter, or Cymarron and Rand to see thier sons. But I'll consider it, as far as I know the Andalian gate creates no stress to this realm. you find another way for them to visit safely, and for them to keep the trade route functioning safely, and I'll see the gate closed. But I am not going to deny parents to ability to see thier children on your advisement unless you can provide an alternative method."
And he pulled Nightmare to teh side, leaving behind Onyx, a little kick, and she went into a trot to meet the annoyed Piper.
Onyx grinned lightly.
"Oracle..I have a question...but um...can I ask in private?"

Sevilin shook his head. Well this just kept getting more and more interesting now didn't it? Oracles, pissy surface elves, love sick cats...it was quite the experience. And he watched as Malik went and made to go off after his pissy surface elf...how could he put up with that thing.
With a sigh he turned on his boot heel and started off after Malik, gesturing to Zahara over his shoulder. "Come on Zahara...don't need him yelling for us being slow...there's enough malice floating around in the air right now..."
Piper was up again, pacing lightly. She had half the mind to go off to this place by herself...not that she really knew where it was...just generally. But she just wanted to go and do it already. Though her pacing stopped as she looked over her shoulder at the sound of mithril horse shoes on Underground terrain. "Finally..."

Wait a minute, what just happened? Oh yes, she'd compltely thrown off all affiliation to Lloth and now was a priestess to a new god..goddess? She had no idea who she prayed to now but knew that she had to meditate every day to find the song. Now which goddess or god did the songs? She'd have to get a book and look it up. With her luck it wasn't even a Drow god, and wouldn't that just suck? A glance at Sevilin and she opened her mouth to say something but promptly shut it and meekly followed like she was supposed to. A few moments later she was up on Serino and they were following once again.

"You're the one that ran off, don't finally me."
But he stopped by her and got down, looking her over...and double checking her armor, making sure it was on tight and correctly.
"Are you sure you are ready for this. Once in there, it will be life and death. You may see anyone, even your friends, or your slaves, perish. or worse, become one of the enemy. Are certain you are prepared for that."
He looked her in the eye, he was quite serious.
"I know Sevilin is prepared. Zahara maybe as well. but that is the life a Drow leads. it's full of almost nothing but death and treachery. Yours was not. So I need to make sure you aer ready to see the person next to you be butchered open and still be able to fight, to be willing an able if needed to even use the dead as fleshy shields..whatever needs be done to ensure your survival."
