"Hurling projectiles? This is a center of trade, where Fae enter and exit frequently in order to deliver my goods to wherever they may go, and to bring things I require to me. Fill'eis was simply bringing back an item that I required - and you were stood in her way." Dormeria replied, laughing dryly again. It seemed that Koil had never faced an opponent who did not want to engage in combat, and he seemed to have certainly never interacted with an oracle before. His impressions were incorrect, and that was a problem. They would need to be corrected. "I do not wish to attack you, and my lair is where I am at my strongest. Simultaneously, you should have no desire to enter into combat with me - our faerie friends do not take well to people assaulting their employer, and I am more than capable of ending your life should I choose to... But that is not something I wish. As an act of good faith, I will allow you to see the road ahead as I do - just once - so that you might understand the machinations that brought you here. I can show you things that have already happened, or I can show you something that will... But my visions do not come without their costs. I will require your services in the future, and an armistice until such a time when you have served the purposes that I need you for. I will tell you one thing - if you do not agree, then the calm may well be broken. I am one of the few who know the tenuous balance that was struck eons ago, and I am one of even fewer who know even the slightest about the breaking of the Calm." The offer made was real, and even more of her magic was poured into her voice - Koil was wrong about the origins of her magic, that was for sure. The Narxians were not the first to use sound to influence the thoughts and feelings of others, and the magic was old even when Dormeria was born, eons before Koil himself came into the world. The Sirens of old, long extinct, used the magic to woo sailors, either to keep them as their slaves or lead them to their deaths. It was potent seductive magic that did not aim to persuade the victim to agree, but to claim their hearts and minds as their own - to claim sovereignty over them. Dormeria claimed ownership of her victims - she did not try to change their minds. Of course, there was no harm in letting Koil believe that she was using his brand of magic... It would make her use of it more effective.
