Sinister contraptions and arcane symbols adorn the large and impressive laboratory, casting eerie shadows across the cold, metallic surfaces. The air, heavy with a foreboding sense of malevolence. In the center of the room, Zalthraxis stood tall and imposing. His obsidian scales shimmer with a malevolent sheen, reflecting the pale glow of the enchanted crystals embedded in the chamber. He did not show any signs of anger, only joy. Zalthraxis’ eyes gleamed with delight as he watched a terrified fairy, delicate and fragile, restrained on the operating table before him. The fairy's delicate wings were torn and tattered, evidence of her previous torment. Her delicate form trembled, and her eyes once alit with life, were now looking dull and near lifeless. Zalthraxis. [color=38D476]“I understand you are in pain. But this is an effort towards the evolution of your species, and you are doing so well. I am very proud of you for coming this far.”[/color] The Dragonborn looked down at the fairy placing his scaly hand on the side of her cheek smiling. The fairy looked up a glint of life sparked in her eyes as if calmed by Zaltraxis’ words but she was still speechless from the hours of screaming earlier that had torn her vocal cords. [color=38D476]“It’s time for your bath my dear.”[/color] He said as he looked up towards the dark elves that had been working around them. [color=38D476]“Please prepare tank one.”[/color]Zalthraxis asked. A few dark elves immediately began to work on activating the tank pressing numerous buttons and pulling different levers which caused the glowing red liquid to circulate. The fairy who had been lying there was now struggling like a rabid animal shaking and convulsing to free herself. Zalthraxis did not get angry, he spoke in a calm tone. [color=38D476]“You will rest now, we have a long day tomorrow. It marks your hundredth day of being here and soon you will break free from this chrysalis towards your final step of evolution.”[/color] He spoke as he inserted a needle into the fairies arm who shortly after fell asleep. [color=38D476]“Prepare her and place her in the tank; I have things to handle. Don’t make me come back here for anything but an emergency.”[/color] Zalthraxis’ tone changed as soon as the fairy had lost consciousness. He stepped out of the lab and made his way to his office where his transmission stand was. Zalthraxis’ office was well kept and simple for the most part containing a desk, chair and a few cabinets for storage of folders and other things aside from the numerous pictures of successful subjects and small private inventions he had placed around the room. Once Zalthraxis arrived he stepped towards his transmission stand pressing two buttons.[color=38D476]“Greetings, I want all missions you are actively following to be held. I have direct orders to send you both to different locations as scouts to either infiltrate or execute groups who have allegedly summoned humans. Violetta you will head to Riverbloom and Helio you will make your way to Roshmi. I will send others once I receive a successful word from either of you and if any of you see the female red or white hair dark fairies like yourself within these groups make sure they are also captured or killed. Do not fail me.”[/color] With the orders given Zalthraxis cut the transmission. [/color]
