<strong>Signs of Danger or Just a Mysterious Test of Faith?</strong><br/>Location: Arach-Tinilith<br/><div class="floatright"><strong>Mistress Iraeuitna Dyrr</strong><br/>(http://grimstonestudios.com/files/iraeuitna_dyrr.jpg)</div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Mistress Iraeuitna watched Ameesril depart, then turned to the other acolytes. "Stay here.  No one, is to enter or leave this room unless it is myself, the Matron Mistress, or unless Ameesril returns before I do; in which case, inform Ameesril to wait here for my return."<br/><br/>Mistress Iraeuitna turned and walked out of the lavish prayer room, and with a slight wave of her hand the hidden door to the room closed, sealing the acolytes inside.  Now only herself, another Mistress, or one of the acolytes who knew the command word to open the door could enter or leave.  Her students knew the command word to open the door, as it had been given to them within the first week of them meeting her.  However, only maybe one or two other Mistresses within Arach-Tinilith and the Matron Mistress herself also knew the command word; so now it was a matter of trust, that her students would follow her instructions.<br/><br/>However, she had no time to dwindle upon such thoughts as she rushed thru the halls in search of Mistress Haelra.  Perhaps if nothing else, she as one of Lolth's chosen knights could help either in an all fight against a celestial being or perhaps if this a faith of test....<br/><br/>Mistress Iraeuitna, didn't even want to complete that last thought.... Mistress Haelra's reputation was already well earned, and as one of Lolth's unholy knights.... no one questioned it either.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>The Unwelcome Guest</strong><br/>Location: Arach-Tinilith, Matron Mistress Triel Baenre's Chambers<br/><div class="floatright"><strong>Matron Mistress Triel Baenre</strong><br/>(http://grimstonestudios.com/files/triel_baenre.jpg)</div><br/><br/><br/>The two female guards saw Ameesril approach, and began to cut her off....  Then she reached out and handed one of them the scroll which Mistress Iraeuitna had given her, and it was if they weren't even going to protest her passing in the first place.  They merely nodded and stepped aside, as the young acolyte continued on into the Matron Mistress' chambers.<br/><br/>EtheIzz'Min lie still, a small pool of blood under her body, which was covered in multiple wounds left from Triel's whip.  The Matron Mistress had just replaced the whip onto her belt moments ago, after finishing her conversation with Alonia, and was about to.....<br/><br/>"What the?!" Triel exclaimed, seeing Ameesril walk in and her guards standing by as if the young acolyte hadn't passed them.  With a raised eyebrow and a look of displeasure, Triel's hand started for her whip, but she paused for a moment.  The Matron Mistress, still looking displeased leaned against her desk slightly. "Guards!  Get this worthless filth out of here." she spat as she kicked the still bleeding body on the floor.<br/><br/>The two guards rushed in, when they were called and nodded at Triel's instructions.  Then one of them, reached onto her belt and pulled the scroll that Ameesril had handed her and gave it to Triel.  The two female guards, then quickly grabbed EtheIzz'Min by the shoulders and tossed her body outside into the hall closing the doors to the room behind them, leaving Ameesril and Triel alone in the Matron Mistress' office.<br/><br/>While still displeased, Triel was now more curious as to why Mistress Iraeuitna would send one of her students to deliver a message, rather than come herself.  Without reading the scroll, Triel focused her attention on Ameesril. "I trust you have good reason for being here, acolyte."<br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><strong>The Quartermaster and "The Secret"</strong><br/>Location: Melee-Magthere<br/><div class="floatright"><strong>Master Sergeant Relonor</strong><br/>(http://grimstonestudios.com/files/relonor_horlbar.jpg)</div><br/><br/>A messenger had delivered news of Matron Baenre's plan to Master Sergeant Relonor, while he wasn't an instructor necessarily anymore as the commander of the Academy guard, he did carry enough authority for what was needed.  The Master Sergeant only shook his head when he read the message, then set out to ensure that the two "Baenre" females got returned to class.<br/><br/>As he was walking through the halls, he spotted what looked like one of them by the quartermaster and went to investigate.  His suspicions grew as the young female appeared to be dressed in the robes of an acolyte from Arach-Tinilith.  Yet, as he approached he raised an eyebrow in suspicion as it appeared to be none other than the young female that was enrolled under the name of Alonia.  The Master Sergeant leaned against the wall, with arms crossed over his chest.<br/><br/>"Alonia, is it?" Master Sergeant Relonor inquired. "Might we speak for a moment."
