Drusilla had listened in the shadows as her king and the general talked of war and his new request. When the Eckhart was gone she sauntered out of the darkness behind the large curtains that had previously cloaked her. Her hands moved like serpents on the curtain casting it away from herself. There was a aura of evil that emitted from her, similar to the general's but less of course, it was evident she was created from a similar cut of cloth so to speak. The light of the room now illuminated her form. Drusilla's glistening grey skin was covered in elaborate bone armor which barley covered her sensual parts. The intricate bone design weaved over her nether regions and spread up over her lower abdomen, when it covered her belly button it separated now spiting to the sides and revealing the skin of her stomach all the way up to just below her ample breasts. The armor once again came together in the center covering her nipples but leaving most of her curvaceous form bare. The design continued up surrounding her neck in an Elizabethan collar fashion. Her long fiery red hair was pulled up on top of her head in a bone head piece and braids trickled out down over her shoulders. A black cloth lined with orange silk flowed down out of the armor like a skirt with two long slits for either leg. Drusilla now drew closer to her king before she spoke. "All alone? You act as if I do not exist." Her voice was soft and almost pleasant. It could have been the voice of a delicate angel, but the form it came out of was so dark that was clearly not the case. Her words were a little joke, she knew he kept her a secret from the world. She was his most valuable weapon. A weapon and a toy, and men no matter how powerful refused to share their toys. She was a possession. Drusilla had the gift of future sight, if the current predicaments were to hold course, meaning the futures she saw could still be altered. So a defeat foreseen could be altered or a victory, she helped him figure out the crucial pieces that lead to him controlling all the land.<br/><br/>She ran a hand over the spikes and feathers that covered his shoulders. she stepped from left to right behind him and then graciously took a knee at his side. Her mind reminisced of A few days prior to when she had seen her king's future, him decimating all the world with a young glowing girl by his side. Drusilla's vision had confused her at first that the person by his side was not her, a ping of jealously was now entwined around her heart, but he came first to her emotions, he always would. This girl held a great power, Drusilla was not sure exactly what it was, but knew that it could either greatly aid her king or if put against him could lead to his destruction. She had as always immediately informed her lord of this. Her words had been shaken, she was worried what would happen if this girl's course was altered against him. It was imperative that they find her first. This should have caused great alarm to Gammon, but he never showed any fear, he only caused fear in others. That was one of the qualities about him that she adored, just one on a very long list of devilish attributes. Kneeling before him now she was confident. Her visions since that day had all shown his continuous growth of power. "The future looks flavorful my king." Drusilla purred beneath him like a kitten begging to be pet by her master. She bowed her head but then looked up at him with her bright red eyes, quickly before her gaze retreated once again to the cold stone floor where she knelt. Drusilla was loyal to Gammon, her body , her life, and her soul.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Sai was walking past the docks her arms full of medical herbs she had just bought. Her long strawberry blonde hair flowed out behind her as she steadily kept pace heading towards the local infirmary. The child was incredibly beautiful, white snowy skin covered her delicate bone structure of round facial features. She had a cute button nose and bright rosy cheeks. Sai's eyes were the color of olive leaves and her lips were like freshly picked apples. She wore a long sleeve light red dress that had white lace fringe. A brown leather belt was tied tight around her waist and knee high brown leather boots warmed her feet. Sai hurried by a man who adorned a battle ax on his back. She bumped into him as she swept past, "Excuse me!" She uttered quick and cutely before rushing forward and then directly leftward into the infirmary. She set the herbs down near the pantry and began her daily chores. Tidying beds and fixing medication for in house patients. She was an apprentice to the healer of this town. Sai had lived here for most of her life, her parents had shipped her off to the master healer when she had only been five years old, that was almost ten years ago now. She was young but very knowledgeable in healing. The master healer jested often that she had purifying touch, which as she matured would prove to be more truth than anyone knew.<br/><br/>Now standing near the doorway her hands worked the medicine in the mortar and pedal quickly grinding it up and tossing it out to the side into a pouch. These were quick burn healing configurations. Not only with this mixture stop the burning sensation but it would also ensure little to no scaring. A tall yet elderly man walked up behind her. His white silvery hair fell over his ears, but eluded the center of his head giving him a large bald patch. His body could be mistaken for a skeleton he was so pale and gaunt. He leaned over Sai's shoulder and pulled his glasses from the top of his head down to over his amber eyes. "More woodworm girl, your not gonna help anyone with that little bit" He gave a little humph and backed away as Sai quickly did as he said adding more to her pouches. "Yes master healer!" she said automatically like she had done it a hundred, no a thousand times before now. "Start those blessing elixir batches that I showed you how to do last week, We have a large order to fill from the east, no food breaks until those are all filled ." He spoke to her in a raspy tone and then turned around slowly heading back to his personal room. "Don't you take a break, Ill know" He warned her looking back and giving a little wag of his finger before heading back and closing the door securely behind himself.<br/><br/>Sai watched him leave and then setting her burn relief pouches to the side pulled out an assortment of five colorful vials of liquid. She looked at them and scratched her head. This was a new recipe and she wasn't exactly sure she had the order quite right. She knelt down and looked under the work bench now throwing scraps from beneath out behind her as she hurriedly searched for a book in which she kept all of her notes. "Where on earth is that blasted thing!" she exclaimed in frustration. Finally she found it, a red leather bound note book, filled with her scribblings. In large letters on top of this particular recipe were the words TOTAL RUBISH, showing exactly what she thought about this specific brew. The blessing elixir did nothing, even the master healer had admitted it really had little effect. It was something he had decided to start selling after all the talk of these shadow soldiers that were taking over the land. People would buy anything to protect themselves from evil.
