Disposable Hero Ch. 04 Pt. 02 - The Truth

Intra said displeased, "You can call me Intra or Empress if you wish. You will never refer to me as anything less is that clear?"

Halisstra was there for Lloth not this petty egomaniac and said, "I will call you what I want, I am here at Lloth's command and not yours, I am not nor will ever be yours to command and if you have a problem with that then take it up with the only one who should be called Valsharess or that other word you used."

Intra smiled and thought, 'If she only knew.' Saying, "I am sure you know why you are here or are you saying that you have forgotten what Lloth told you."

Halisstra was furious and said, "I know what she said and that is why I am here, quit your games and point me to the army that I am to lead or would you rather continue these foolish games?"

Intra knew that Halisstra had no magical talents and started prepping a spell before saying, "I must ready this room for the one who will give you details on your mission. Do not speak or disturb in any way shape or form."

She cast various cantrips to give the look of a spell as Dementia entered and let her demonic aura into the room, looking like Lloth she stared down Halisstra until she was standing before her. Halisstra for her part sensed the minor spells being cast but when she saw Lloth walking towards her, she did not think it was real and looked on in disbelief.

Dementia knew that Lloth wouldn't have been happy to see a loyal follower look upon her without her approval and transformed to her cursed form and struck Halisstra sending her across the room.

She bellowed, "How dare you look upon me without showing proper respect and to think I brought you here to exact revenge on my daughter. Was I mistaken to choose you?"

Halisstra upon feeling the loving embrace of Lloth dropped to a knee and looked at the floor not daring her goddess's wrath any further and said, "I am honored to be chosen as the instrument of your revenge. I did not think it was possible for you to walk on this plane and that is why I didn't believe. May I see your army?"

Changing back into her more Drow form she said, "How I am here is no concern of yours, my child knows I cannot walk in the sun and that is why she hides on the surface.

I must tell you that the time of renewal is at hand and you shall be the general of all my armies, I will leave the details to you but I want three things.

First you will attack my child on the surface, second, you will attack Winterspire and third you will lead my armies through the Deep Gate and crush those that cursed me. Do you understand?"

Still kneeling she said, "Yes, goddess it shall be as you say.

Do you have all the soldiers I need here? Or must gather all of them? When do wish me to go to the surface?"

Dementia looked at her mother and got the nod of approval and said, "You will leave soon for the surface I have a special army here for my daughter.

All cities will send available troops to Undermountain from this area.

The remainder will go to Deep Gate for the fight at renewal."

Not wishing to anger Lloth, but needing more information Halisstra asks, "Goddess, why must these places be hit? Can we not focus our power in one area? Do any of these have more importance than the others?"

Dementia replied, "Winterspire must be sieged to keep the humans, the Sunkissed and those damn dwarves must not use the gate there.

By hitting my child's followers she will be weaker and easier to beat if they do get through the gate at Winterspire.

Should they get through that gate we must be ready to fight all who would oppose us at renewal.

You will fight to the last with our allies the Orcs of the bloody fist hoard at Winterspire while we muster the remaining hoards at the Deep Gate."

Halisstra asked, "How many will be attacking your daughter?"

Dementia said, "I will leave that to Intra, she will show your army and explain further my time on this plane is nearly up." With that Dementia walked into the antechamber before walking into the rebirthing room before transforming.

Intra said, "You will have 16,000 to command on the surface and even more when you attack Winterspire."

Halisstra's jaw dropped at the mention of 16000 this was a huge army for any Drow she could crush any Drow city with that many. The largest Drow city was only 50 or 60 thousand and made her ask, "This city is not very large where did they get 16000 Drow to fight them with?"

Intra explained, "You will bring 4000 special Drow to the surface along with about 1000 Driders and there you will meet the rest of your army.

Come let me introduce you to a gift from Lloth to help you with this mission."

Curious Halisstra followed her through the antechamber and into the rebirthing chamber, she could almost feel the abyssal taint in the room and from the shadows stepped a mind flayer, as she went for her dagger it dawned on her that she had always been taught that getting close to a mind flayer would get you turned into a thrall or they would have your brains for dinner. Yet she felt in complete control of her thoughts as that could only mean one thing.

She looked at Intra and asked, "Why are we allies with them?"

Intra just chuckled and said, "Who said they are our allies? He is a loyal servant of Lloth, you may call him the corrupter and to put you at ease this ring will help you control him, as well as protect yourself from his powers." As she handed the ring to her.

Halisstra put the ring and felt the abyssal energy coursing through the area that the ring made contact with her skin and after a few minutes that energy had traveled up her right ring finger and stopped.

Intra watched pleased as she began to explain, "He is here to help create very special soldiers for Lloth."

As the chamber door opened and in walked Dementia with her pet Yathrin in tow, behind her a Drowess walked in robotically. Halisstra watched as the Drowess climbed onto the altar and was stripped naked before her.

She heard Intra chanting and felt the room get darker as she felt the demonic energy coming from just past the feet of the Drowess on the altar, as a demon appeared before her wearing a collar and a large barbed erection.

She watched Intra closely as she said, "Don't worry he is the sire of my daughter there. Lloth wants no problems on this mission, watch as you witness the birth of a Dark Sister."

The mind flayer was tormenting the drowess strapped to the table as the sire of her child was raping and destroying this woman physically. Dementia was busy thrusting her bulbous tail into Yathrin who was lost in orgasm after orgasm while suckling on her lovers teat like a child, Dementia watched her father fuck the Drowess with his barbed cock, the abyssal energy peaked as the Intress finished casting her dark spell as she plunged her hand in the chest of the drowess she nodded to her child's sire and he came at that moment as she pulled the drowess's soul from her body and pulled a third of it off and fed it to Dementia and the other third to Dementia's sire.

A silver thread could be seen going to the soul. The room seemed to hum from the demonic prayer being offered as she fused the abyssal energy into the remaining soul and placed it back in the drowess.

The drowess's body convulsed repeatedly as the abyssal energy flowed and turned her into something much darker. Her eyes opened and did not glow red but seemed empty in the darkroom, in fact, her eyes were now completely black, she looked around the room and saw the face of her creator.

Intra said, "Welcome child to your new darkness, the goddess had blessed you, you shall now be called Dark Sister, do you understand?"

Dark Sister said robotically, "Yes, mother I understand."

Intra smiled at the loyalty that this process produced and said, "Go with your new mistress and wait for further orders." As she pointed to Halisstra.

Dark Sister rose and walked over to Halisstra dropping to her knees before Lloth's general, As Intra said, "All 4000 will be the vanguard of your army on the surface, this army is completely disposable."

Intra walked out of the rebirthing chamber after sending her daughters sire and the corrupter away and said, "Only you are indispensable to Lloth so if it takes 16000 to destroy Eilistraee's surface city then so be.

If you succeed your army will destroy everything between her city and Winterspire. If you fail take as many of Eilistraee's followers as you can this will weaken her power and keep one enemy out of the fight."

They walked past heavily warded doors and Halisstra asked, "When we siege Winterspire what is our goal exactly the more overall goals the more I can plan this out."

Intra replied, "You are to let nobody enter Winterspire besides the guardian and his companions.

You must hold out at least 6 months from the day the gates open every month after that is great.

After 6 months you will leave the army and go to Deep Gate and take over the army there."

Halisstra continued to walk along with Intra until they came to the home of Dark Sister, where Intra left her to get to know her troops and plan with the corrupter as more information came in.

***********

That evening when Henri and Zilvra came back from the elven village and explained why Zilvra had a horse as well as why they both had new weapons and armor as everybody was settling in for the night she had the chance to speak with Henri about their child.

After explaining that their child wanted contact with him, what she didn't say was that she wanted to try a real relationship with him and would use the guise of her child to make that happen.

She was shocked when Henri threw his arms around her and asked a million questions about their child, she even felt a warmth envelope her from Lumiere when he put his hand where she was growing this shocked her to no end and when Henri went out to the woods and brought back a pile of branches and stacked them up while tossing his new leathers on top of them.

She understood right away he was making a bed for her to be comfortable on and she curled up with him as he kissed her neck and put his hand around his child.

She felt warm and comfortable as she drifted off to sleep with a smile that she knew came from her child.
