Izerel's eyes widened in shock and fear when he realized the Brachina could use spells he had not foresaw. "Nice trick. Did you prepare that especially for me or is it just a lucky coincidence?" Izerel had encountered more then one uncommon counter to his abilities in the past few minutes. He had to wonder is some of it wasn't planned.  I'd assume that no matter what reason you have to trouble house Llaeoth that you'd want to strike at the top. We could work together to ensure the Matron's downfall. There isn't even a need for an elaborate plan, we can just leave each other alone until the deed is done. If you and your minions do not attack me, my mistress, or his large brother we will mostly just waste time. Perhaps create a ruse that you mind controlled one of us if we need to strike the final blow. Aterward you could retreat and consider this situation a net gain. If you must you could always return later to finish off the rest of us.
