A little tidbit with @Meiyuki and [@SilliestofGoys] where I showed off a bit of my...naughty side.. -///-
in collaboratons with @Meiyuki
As she entered the library, Sheevi was cautious and aware, as she was in search of someone. Someone she heard could help her, or destroy her, depending on her prowess with words. As she tiptoed around the literary center, she heard what sounded like a female voice...it must have been her...she rounded the corner of a large bookshelf, and braced for what she was about to see.
Medusa'd been pouring over tome after dusty tome for the past several days. Her eyes burned, and hexes seemed burned into the interior of her eyelids when she closed her eyes. She'd not learned anything that would be of particular use in the battle to come. Hearing footsteps she turned.
"Angha-" Instead of the decidedly insane witch that had - for reasons she couldn't divine - elected to aid her she saw...something that resembled on of the newer witches. Shavi? Shayvi? No matter. "Ah...How can I help you?"
Sheevi could stare with nothing but confusion. This was Medusa? The unspok- Well...very spoken leader of the Coven? For such a high witch, her mind was surprisingly easy to read. She had thought her someone else...a lover. Then she had realized who it was, and...she couldn't remember her name.
"It's Sheevi. Sheevi Mekedo. And I'm assuming you must be...Medusa?"
"Indeed. Sheevi... aren't you one of Lorelai's? Come, sit." Medusa gestured to one of the leather armchairs in her nook. As tired as she might be she wasn't going to lose the opportunity to turn one of Lorelai's own. "Is there something I can help you with?"
She walked forward, placing herself in one of the chairs, yet sat uncomfortably. Something...was off. She could read the woman's mind, just like anyone else, yet...something seemed buried. Much farther than anyone else she had met could keep something. And...it seemed like she was thinking for more than one person. She heard her thoughts, yes. But then another's. Another's. It was a complete madhouse in there! She...didn't know how to respond. "Um...Alexina..", she finally said.
Medusa tilted her head quizzically. Alexina was hardly the most popular witch in the castle. Which was a shame given her steadfast loyalty. "Alexina? What about her? She's a close friend of mine, so if she offended you that means you either had it coming or I can assure you it was unintentional."
"No, it was more pertaining to...her being pretty pleasant, actually..", Sheevi said as a rosy blush came to her cheeks. "I..we..we got off on the wrong foot, and I want to..make...amends with the Queen.."
Medusa supressed a chuckle, if the girl's cheeks were any indication she wanted to do far more than 'make ammends'. She wondered mildly if Lorelai had set a trend with her shameless flaunting of her 'preferences'. "Did you now? Well, if you'd like to 'make ammends' with the Queen I recommend the direct approach. Maybe give her something that displays your reverance for nature, or at least a respect for life."
She did let out a small laugh as she added one more piece of advice. "Oh, and do it while Lorelai's not around, or she might largely ignore you."
The woman was obviously onto her affections. She cursed her insolence quietly, and responded to the woman's actually quite helpful advice. "Yes, Lorz does seem to be on the receiving end of most of her affections...although the Ruvina woman seems to have an already standing relationship with her. Let's hope they stay that way.."
"Yes, quite." Medusa sighed. "Although I do think...rolling around with Vespa consumes far too much of Lorelai's valuable time. Why she dotes on that arrogant - if charming - witch escapes me." Shaking her head she replaced her smile. "Anyway, I'm sure Alexina will come around. She's quite vulnerable to a pretty face after all."
Medsua looked off whistfully. "Things were much better back when Lorelai returned Alexina affections though, no matter."
"Lorelai...returning her...wha-" She processed what she was hearing. Alexina and Lorelai...affections...she slowly pieced the puzzle together. It all made sense now. They were ex lovers, separated. One moved on, one did not. All the more reason to pursue Alexina...to help her move on... I..I see...", she said as she clenched her fist with purpose.
"You didn't know? If Alexina has a vulnerability for a pretty face, it's one Lorelai taught her." Medusa laughed. "Twas quite amusing to see Alexina's face during the process, as huntress turned prey."
Medusa patted Sheevi on the shoulder. "Maybe soon she'll quit her pining though? Good luck."
Sheevi could sense that the bidding of well endowed fortune with her pursuit of romance was quite sincere. It was...sure to be a challenge. She needed to take desperate measures, and quick, if she was ever to gain Alexina's affections. "Yes, thank you...and..there was one more subject.." She pulled out a small scrap of paper, no bigger than a palm, and showed it to Medusa.
Inscribed on the paper, in clear purple ink, was "I know about the war."
"War?...You're treading into dangerous waters girl." Medusa narrowed her eyes at Sheevi. "Explain yourself, and your motives...Now."
"I have my sources, Madame...but I mean no wrongdoing with my newfound knowledge. There is a reckoning coming. And when that reckoning does surface it's ugly head, there will be those who persevere, and those who perish. I, for everyone in this castle's sake, want to make sure we are not the ones to end on the wrong side of the stick."
"Then you'll need to chose wisely Sheevi, and encourage others to do the same." Medusa's gaze was hard as she leaned back in her seat. "Will you stand with Dragons? Or with the Elders? You'll find no comfort in neutrality my dear, you'll want to ensure you stand on the right side of history."
A long ponderous gaze was taken around the room as she deliberated. "No matter what happens, Medusa, history is not written by the victors., she said as she looked back at her. "It is written by the survivors. And if I am to assist you in this war, I want a guarantee that Alexina will make it from this war, alive."
Medusa thought a moment, then smiled. "I can assure you she never makes it to the fighting... if I have your oath to stand against Von'Strauss." She extended her hand towards Sheevi, palm already laid with an oath spell. "If you survive or not... that remains up to you."
Sheevi was not yet convinced by her ominous response. "I don't only want her to not see the fighting, any common fool could easily detect that means crippling her beyond combat. I want her ABSOLUTE safety from this. That means not a hair on her beautiful head will be scratched. And if you cannot promise me extreme assurance, then perhaps siding with the Dragons will allow me to protect her personally."
"Levie your threats against someone who sees something in you worth fearing girl." Medusa simply smirked. "I assure you, Alexina will not be harmed, she'll just believe herself to be too wounded to fight. A simple enough illusion. Now...Make your choice Sheevi Mekedo, the time for bargaining has come to a close."
Her hand extended out with apparent confidence in her decision. She knew that based on the conclusion that came to her mind, the resolution of this conflict would be the best possible. She factored in the information she had been gathering from the minds of all involved, the struggles and romantic throes that must be persevered, and the eventual finishing act that would transpire from all this commotion. She was ready.
Sheevi lightly grasped Medusa's wrist and pushed her hand back, refusing the shake. "You are a woman of nobility and strength, Medusa. But you lack one thing that Von'Strauss' assistance would provide; Alexina." She stood from the chair and bowed slightly, before beginning to walk off. "Oh, and.", she looked back for a second, mischievously. "The more you underestimate me, the better." She gave a sly wink and disappeared into the hall.
Medusa simply smirked as the girl left. "How does one slay a dragon that hoards hearts? As if Dragon's weren't already hard enough to kill." She muttered as she returned to her research. At least Sheevi'd identified herself as an enemy, and without Von'Strauss' protection she'd soon discover what being her enemy detailed.
Sheevi was an idiot if she was to stick around for even another ten minutes. She had already sensed Medusa planning her removal before she even left the room. Her room, in reality, held nothing of treasure to her. It had simply been her place of rest, and that was all. So she immediately ran herself out of the castle, bolting quickly to the forest, and towards Castle Ruvina. Her newfound animal instincts and abilities allowed her to Sprint faster than most, although she was tiring swiftly. Knowing persistence would cost her her life, however, was what kept her running. She ran and ran, seemingly never to stop, yet eventually she did. And nearly passed out, laying on a rock and tiring like an expired lover, she looked up at the blue sky and was finally allowed to rest.
"This is going to be an interesting war..", she said before passing out.
"Tough Choices"
As she entered the library, Sheevi was cautious and aware, as she was in search of someone. Someone she heard could help her, or destroy her, depending on her prowess with words.
