Aunae's hands reached out and grasped the blade like it was her life line. And it was, she smiled at it imaging what she could do with it. She wasn't one for blades and such, preferring the subtleties of her needles and the flash of her magic.
There could be no flash here, no clean edge lines and sharp gasp as a body fell under her whim. Just the frantic breathing of a plead animal and the sharp edge of a short blade.
She plunged the into the animals shoulder. It bit its lips so much that it bleed as it she found the joint and smashed away at it. "I am a spell caster, a wield of the power that the goddess has given our people. A tool for her chaos and whims, so that this house, our house may succeed to its rightful spot."
Before she had finished she had pried both arms out by the joints. The animal had bitten through it lips, allowing its blood to flow like rivers down the sides of its mouth. Placing the arms on the animals chest she continued thinking, I'm glad I wore red. Though I'm to have to do something about the red in my hair...or maybe not.
Getting a better grip, she settled the her gaze on the animals desperate sorrowful eyes. She considered them as they began to glare defiantly at her. She smiled again. Switching hands, she turned the outward and then with some care struck at the animals cheek down. Its could only let scream. "The eyes of all must look forward..." She stopped having trouble with pry the first one out."...forward to the future and the progress of one entity. Our goddess, our house, I offer my eyes to..." She got it stuck in bone of under the second eye. "see our house move forward and never back."
She placed the two balls with strings next to the arms. She put the knife into her other hand where some of the blood had dried enough to allow her grip it better. The thing was really screaming and though she want to ripe out the throat she knew that there was one thing she had to offer. "We continue on, passing our powers and purpose on ward to the future. I offer my vassal, my power to the every growing, ever continuing strength of our house and our goddess."
She placed the uterus next to the growing pile. Done with that wiped her hand against her skirt. I'm really pleased that I choose red. Maybe Lolth allowed me such forethought on the matter of what to wear. She then turned her gaze to the head again. Looking at it almost made her want the eyes back in there for her next offering, but she hadn't been thinking of that joy in till the moment had come. "To remember the history, to recall the powers that were gifted to use, to call upon the power that the Mistress Lolth has given us. I offer my mind to the not just the recalling the old powers, but the progress of our House and the devotion to the Spider Goddess."
With that she placed the scalped part of the head on the pile and stepped back blade still in hands. She was worried about the random thoughts offending the goddess. Don't dwell on it too much, you much made the offering in their fullest meaning...No she can be quite pissed over the ordeal.

Lariexith stood back, her expression still retained her maniacal grin as she cackled shrilly and evilly at the entire spectacle. The Matron then nodded her head to the female peons who came around with torches and set fire to the sacrifice and all the bloody body parts that laid out beside her on either side.
The Matron then stepped forward and stood beside Aunae to speak out to the people, "Aunae has been welcomed to the House. We have thanked the Goddess for her favor in us and we have offered another sacrifice to move our House onwards. May the Dark Mistress hear us on this day and we will fight and reign chaos in her name forevermore!"
"Forevermore! For Lolth!" shouted the audience as one.
"Keep Lolth in your spirits, hearts, and minds as we carry on our day. Thank you," Lariexith then made her exit off the stage. ~~~~~ Briza then stood up from her throne, "Everyone report to the community ballroom. Let us join in celebration of Lolth and our two additional members of Tor'afin! Aunae, who will be joining our magical forces! And Flamgra, our new Weapons Master!"

A dazed glazed face was pressed upon Aunae's features. As the offerings were fires and the smoke rose high. Not even the Matron's voice could shatter it completely, her cheer was absorbed by the others. As she made her final words, Aunae finally came out completely.
With her reason repaired she waited and then head for her seat as the Matron left the stage. Many were getting up, though quiet excitement made the room resound with it deaf sound. And then a voice, soft yet as forceful and clear as the Matron's had sheeted the crowd. Ah yes, the celebration, she thought dusting off her hands. I guess I won't have enough time to clean my hands. Though I don't mind the red much...though it seems rather beastly to eat and dance with blood on my hands.

Briza watched as her Mother was the first one to exit. She would probably not join in the celebration till after she cleaned herself up. The Temple then started to empty as people rose from their seats and crowded the steps that lead up to the doorway.
The Priestess then turned around and saw that Aunae had only just started to make her exit. Briza then started to make her way over to her. Reaching in the folds of her gown she pulled out a thick cloth to hand over to her, "You did well. I think you impressed my Mother."

Aunae halted before the stair. Blood wasn't just a bother to clothes, it got into very uncomfortable place. Places like the underside of ones nails. Her concern for her nails died down as the soft commanding voice whispered somewhere beside her. Turning her gaze hit beauty and by the words mother, Aunae knew whom she had been dealing.
She bowed slightly, "Thank you. However I only performed as I should, Jabbress."

Briza nodded respectfully at the drowess' words, "I'm glad your faith and bond with Lolth is so strong. At least that was the impression I received while you participated in the sacrifice. I think we need more people like you in the House. I get a very good vibe off of you."
With the slightest gaze, Briza noticed Aunae's mess and knew that the simple cloth she had given her probably wasn't going to clean her up all the way. Clasping her hands in her own, Briza then looked up at Aunae with a smile, "Oh my, we shan't let our guest of honor make her appearance while looking so bloody. Though I'm sure some of the residents wouldn't mind so much. To some its actually a little attractive. But if you wish to clean yourself up, you can follow me," at this, Briza started to walk slowly ahead of her.

Aunae looked down at her clothes. Despite her best wishes the red of the blood didn't blend so well with the red of her dress. Her hair might favor the added splash of color, but her hands and arms did not.
I do a clean up would be in order. She thought and the followed at the retreating figure. Catching up with the elegant strides of the Matron's daughter. Aunae couldn't help, but feel caution steal over her. "Thank you for helping me to clean up."

Briza said nothing to the drowess' appreciation but continued to lead her up the main stair and twisted through the corridors till they reached an ivory engraved door. The engravings depicted drow females wielding snake whips.
"This is one of the main bathrooms in the Royal Sanctum. If you are summoned here by the Matron, you're free to use this bathroom whenever you wish," Briza then pushed open the door as it lead into what looked like a public bathroom. A large, circular fountain was in the middle as it continuously poured water into several basins. On the back wall were a row of stalls.
Briza then walked further into the room and approached one of the basins before turning about and smiling back at Aunae, "Go on. We mustn't let your guests wait."

"I once again I present my gratitude, Jabbress." Aunae bowed slightly before walking further into the space. She was walk in with complete trust of the one who had lead her there. Her mind however was not so sure.
She quickly scrubbed her hands, her face a calm mask for the quick fire of thoughts that pounded though out in her temple. Nothing was ever give freely, nothing. She made quick work of clean her self up. Though some the blood was stuck at the edge of her hair. She turned to the Matron's daughter, "Jabbress, I must inquire why all this fines for someone as new as myself."

Aunae took a breath and then let it out. "Jabbress, all this," She indicated the room, "For someone who has just this day joined the house. And as a simple spell caster. I must know why?"
Aunae knew she was being rather direct, but she couldn't keep the inquiring from coming out. She was pushing it though. That serene calm face was probably a pretty firm mask, just like the many Aunae had encountered.

Briza chuckled softly, "I'm sorry, my dear but I don't think I understand. This is just a public bathroom. If you mean the sacrifice in the Temple or the Welcoming Ball then rest assured this is just tradition in our House. We do things differently then the other Houses. Now enough chatter! Wash up so we can join with the rest of the House. This is your moment to give an impression to the Matron personally."

Aunae simply nodded her understanding and then turned to finish washing up. A house that allows its newly come to not just enter the royal sanctum, but then to sacrifice in the temple and then be lead around by the Matron's own daughter. Truly an...amazing House, she thought drying her hands and then then used a quick trick she had learn from her maids training days to wet, clean, and dry her skirt, sleeves, and shirts without removing them.
Nearly done, she quickly re did her hair pulling her hair into an elegant double pony tail then braided the two together. All of this was completed in a few minutes. Finished she turned to the Matron's daughter. "I'm ready Jabbress..." She said then a curious look crossed her face "may I inquire as to the proper way to address you?"

"Jabbress would work but I prefer that you would call me, Yathrin. Soon to be Ilharess. Though of course not as of yet... while my Mother remains living.." Briza made a weird expression after saying the statement before continuing on a more interested note, "Before we unite with the others, I'd like to ask you some questions. Word has traveled between the guards of your... other professions. And some say you seemed a little disappointed with your current position. As the Matron's daughter, perhaps you can fill me in with what these other professions are and what position you might like instead. Perhaps... I could put a word in for you. Maybe... persuade her with a more satisfying position for you."

Flamgra got up to leave shortly after his matron, he was not one for big ceremonies. The battlefield and in a place of carnage was where he thrived. Ceremonies,parties, they were boring and un necessary in Flamgra's eyes. Before actually leaving the sanctum he turn to Briza and the newcomer.
"Hwuen udos thalra 'sohna Briza, Plynn kyon abbil" Flamgra said bowing before them. Newcomer or not, Aunae was a female and was to be held in high regard. Rank and strength did not matter here, women were the power and so should it stay.
Flamgra stood from his bow and made way for the door, Lariexith expect him at a ceremony soon and he would attend. Perhaps he was not expected to wear these ugly,bulky robes. His armor should suffice,lest he be told otherwise.
