Talianna kept her lips pursed. Inside she felt only cold fury at the priest, a burning hatred that consumed her body and soul. She realized her fists had been clenched tight enough that her fingernails had dug into her palms. She was decided, the priest had to die. She didn't care for the villager's opinions, they'd never find his body; Bloodfang would see to that. A smile curled around her lips as she though of the image of Bloodfang choking down the priest's fat body, then of him weeping as Talianna cut out his organs and fed them to the Nauglir piecemeal.<br/><br/>In time, she thought. She knelt to lift Bianka's body, the girl being as heavy as Talianna thought she would be.<br/>"Bloodfang, come!" she hissed, the Nauglir having had its fill of human flesh and loped heavily to her mistress. Talianna slumped Bianka over the saddle, Boodfang hissing at this new rider and the scent of blood made the Cold One hunger. A firm smack on the snout with the flat of Hatetongue saw to that, Bloodfang cowed as Talianna led the Nauglir and Bianka's unconscious body away from the battlefield. The stench of voided bowels and split entrails hung heavy in the air as Talianna walked across the no-man's land of bodies and severed limbs.<br/><br/>Then she raised an eyebrow, Reinhart and The Stranger were talking to a figure. To lithe to be human, to pallid of skin to be of Ulthuan, it was one of her kin. She wrenched hard on Bloodfang's bridle, making the beast growl as Talianna made a bee-line of the Elf, Bloodfang's massive bulk and blood-caked maw clearing the villagers as she spoke,<br/>"Hail, brother. You talk only to a man of bluster and large words. I oversee this village's defenses at this point" she said. The Druchi didn't look much, a large cloak covering most of his body, though concealing any weapons. Smart at least, she mused, though the tell-tale scars on his cheeks proved him to be a marked criminal. The rankle inside Talianna's gut wasn't the committing of a crime, for crime was common in Naggroth, but at getting caught, thus showing the marked Elf to be a liability no-doubt.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
