"It's a little late now...pet. Enjoy the show" Yawgmoth said aloud before gritting his teeth. Black lightning started to strike between the dark clouds and the thunder rolled overhead. The ground began to shake violently rocking the tree she was sitting in. Suddenly Yawgmoth's trick made itself very clear. Hands,..feet,..other appendages belonging to more odd creatures started to rip through the ground. These things...pulled themselves up from the earth. It started with a few and then became hundreds upon hundreds. The undead, zombies, or something of the like. All twisted forms of lives once lived. There were humanoids, creatures and beasts, elves and goblins and even a few Dracolitches, undead dragons brought back by necromantic power. The horde of them started moving for Ziven's tree, shambling and walking creeping towards her with moans of hunger. From their collective she could hear once clear voice, Yawgmoth's saying bluntly "Tear that tree out from under her..."

Upon seeing the forms of many who had died being reanimated, she felt great sadness for they being violated in such a way. Crossing her arms over her middle, she was most upset by this, but what could be done? In the blink of an eye, she was standing before him, staring up at him with a gaze of furious sadness and defiance. She figured this would be the opprotune moment to take advantage of the creatures lack of attention on Yawgmoth as they were focused on taking down the tree. "What are you trying to prove with this? From the very moment we met you proved your talents FAR surpass mine."

The creatures all stopped and turned around facing her but did not dare move any closer to Yawgmoth without his word. They were in line with his thought patterns and would do whatever he wished at a whim. Since his attention was on Ziven that is where theirs lied. Yawgmoth's fist balled and he smashed it against the barrier she had created since he could not grab her clothes to hoist her into the air for her tone. "It appears, you are not scared of the undead. That is all it proves. Fear tactic. Your eyes make us angry.....and we applaud your shield. It actually managed to sustain a hit from us. But it will not sustain another now that we will not hold back. Drop it, or we'll break it down and toss your sorry form to those to feast on. Our interests with you do not overtop our fury"

The ground beneath her feet sank slightly with the force from Yawgmoth hitting the barrier. After listening to his speech, she took a deep, shuddering breath, weighing out her options and dropped her gaze slightly, staring directly at his chest/abdomen. Feeling there was no choice but to comply, she reluctantly dropped her only form of protection. She wondered if this would be viewed as surrender or if it were still part of the 'game' he played.

Yawgmoth viewed her dropping the barrier as a 'white flag' so to speak and made sure none of the rotting undead moved any closer to her despite their hunger for the living. "Good. Listening to us is sure to lengthen your lifespan around us."

Shifting her gaze upward again, she tilted her head curiously, still wondering what he wanted from her. Silently she nodded her head, showing she acknowledged his statement.

Yawgmoth smiled, a smile that held his evil intentions behind his eyes. "Now then" he said as his tail snapped around her waist in such a fashion that he pinned her arms to her sides to avoid any unnecessary flailing that might occur. The appendage lifted her high into the air and he stared up into her eyes with a grim smile "Beg us..beg us not to throw you to the hungry damned that lie around us. And beg good....or our tail might just slip...and we might just vanish into thin air"

With a wince and grunt of discomfort, she found herself being held up by his tail once more. The position she was placed in was uncomfortable to breathe, let alone try to speak. Though she knew it was likely a doomed move, she followed through with a hasty decision. "Please do not ... throw me. Remember .. I can .. vanish also." her words came slowly given the difficulty of breathing.

"WHAT!?" he said squeezing his tail tighter around her midsection. "We offer you the chance to escape with a minor beg and you threaten us by reminding us that you too can vanish. Oh we're sure you can. But you still bear our marking and we will find you. And if you vanish and we do find you...the meaning of the word horror will take a brand new form that day for you. Are we quite clear? Now try again!" The dark king bellowed as the undead moved a little closer and his tail shifted to get her a little closer to them as they crept inward on the group.

She winced as he tightened his grip. Struggling to breathe more than before, she tried again. "Please." was all she could manage. She said this several times, each time more labored than the time before.

"Strike number two little lady. You know what happens on strike three right? You're out...as they say" The crazed madman that was Yawgmoth bellowed out another maddening laughter that rolled over the moans and cries of hunger from the surrounding undead.

Now she was frustrated, she did not know what he wanted to hear. Never having been requested to beg before, she persisted with the only thing she thought came close. "Please .. do not throw .. I do not .. know what you want!" she said, now feeling light headed. "I am sorry."

"Good! almost there. We'll let it slide once." Yawgmoth's tail sat her down and uncoiled. He yelled out one word in phyrexian that echoed over the wind. The undead stopped and seemed to turn a shade of copper before scattering into ashes on the wind. The skies slowly calming and the gray and black clouds receding to yield the white and blue sky above.

Reaching the ground, she was glad that he had released her and inhaled deeply in an attempt to 'catch up' on breathing, only to find herself pained by this. Placing her right hand on her waist, she identified the pain and realized she just needed a minute to relax before she could breathe normal again. Bent over slightly for comfort, she turned to look at the creatures Yawgmoth had summoned just as they turned to dust. Slowly she closed her eyes, feeling a mixture of fatigue and relief, hoping this truly was finished and that he was not just toying with her more.

"You're losing your fun. Perhaps we should just kidnap you for a few days, have our way with you and then return you to your miserable existence, forever leaving you alone. Oh we could..but someone like you would brood and be ruined by us....sounds promising" Yawgmoth said, his smooth black tail swishing back and forth around her careful not to smack her. He had released her as agreed and wouldn't bother with contact unless he felt the need.
