Victory music HO!</div></div><br/>She had hit the elemental with a flurry of attacks that should have destroyed it, that should have finally netted them a victory and the key to the treasure room, yet even with Shugar's milk induced enchantment, the enemy proved itself utterly immune to their attempts to kill it.  Worse, Bo's spear did nothing against the enemy either, and with Shugar on empty, there was no more magic their shaman could use that might help them out of this mess.  But even as Bo gave voice to her own desire to finish what they had started here, the Drow rogue felt an increasingly familiar presence in the back of her mind as her imp began to step forward.<strong>"Thank you, truly, for whatever you're about to do."</strong>Just because her imp was bound to her, didn't mean Zerxel was about to treat the entity like a mere slave.  She wasn't Xara.  She put value in those people around her, trusted them, celebrated their victories and avenged their defeats.  This was no different, and even as she did her best to keep the water elemental at bay, she never once lost sight of the importance of what her imp had suggested.<br/><br/>And then, her demonic pet was being turned into black ichor inside the elemental, but as he himself had said, he was now home, but more importantly, his sacrifice wouldn't be in vain as Zerxel and Bo's following attacks proved when they got quite the surprised response from their enemy when their weapons met resistance once more.  An almost feral look overcame Zerxel's face as she waded in, blades leading with every step, slashing across the creature's chest, torso, and finally her neck for her last strike as she crossed her blades just shy of the woman's throat.<strong>"And stay down!"</strong>Closing the jaws of her blades with a vicious swing in both directions, Zerxel removed the elemental's head from her shoulders before spinning on her heel.  Turning one's back to an enemy was considered an insult, especially if they were dying, but among the Drow, it was even worse because for a people who reveled in death, she was essentially saying the elemental wasn't even worth her acknowledgement in its last moments.  That it was unworthy of even the slightest praise for having survived for so long, but it had only survived.  There had been no exchange of true skill, no exchange of ideals or words traded at all.  It had merely been a construct, raised for a simple job, and it had failed miserably in that regard.<br/><br/>So no, it really didn't deserve to be recognized or given even the slightest acknowledging glance as far as Zerxel was concerned.  She did sheath her blades though, tired but assured the fight was over at last, and that they'd be able to get what they had came for at last.  Not only that, but they also had three soul fruits, one for each of them, that she was very interested in examining now that they had a moment to breathe.  As such, she turned to Shugar and Bo and offered the pair a smirk.<strong>"That's done, let's make sure there aren't any other surprises and go over the soul fruits we've obtained as well as get our key at last.  If those fruit contain anyone we know, we might have to decide what to do with them."</strong>Chances were good one had Yanna Bonebreak, and if that were the case, she'd gladly hand her over to the spiderlings as soon as she came into being again.  If not, they had still gained a little power, if a little extra lust and corruption, but nothing too worrisome in her opinion.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Is there any way to tell who is inside each fruit without eating and birthing them?  If not it's cool, but I am hoping for someone like Yanna as you know lol.  Also, that was AWESOME!  But I think I'm all fought out for the moment, time to relax, get fucked, and move on after taking a moment to get my thoughts in order.  Quick thing though, I've used the healing potion I'm fairly sure, so that should be removed, and I'm curious what places Shugar marked on our map.  Anyway, thanks Rhev.</div></div>
