The smile vanished from the woman's face, and her voice suddenly became soft, dangerous. "That...was a mistake, little half-elf. But not for you...no, you're going to get to stay<em>just</em>like you are. No, the consequences will be to others."<br/><br/>One hand made a gesture, and their was a strange near-shriek. She held up the hand of the creature, and Savyna would<em>see</em>a tiny bubble of white light, and a tiny face, like that of the drow she'd met upon it. The demon spoke, her voice almost a caress. "Her<em>soul</em>. Watch, little half-elf...<em>this</em>is what is going to happen to every other woman in this building. Aside from<em>you.</em>"<br/><br/>And with that, she clenched the fist, and the white ball glowed brighter for a few long moments, resisting the pressure...and then suddenly cracks appeared, and it shattered into motes of light that flickered and died, leaving shard of black...<em>something</em>scattered across the floor.
