[align=justify:82c0fc69db]Lidia Talusthrone had wanted to serve her father proud. It had been a terrible blow to the old dog that she turned out to be a female even after the mages and warlocks informed him, consoled her father that she was he. What a shame she did not have the external plumbing as promised. Prayvyn had come at her once or twice with endowment spells only to have them reflected back upon him, and he lose what little he already had. It had been the whole focus for her derangement, to be able to swallow magic only to have it take diverse effects upon her person. Whether in the guise of behavior issues of foul language to mimicking her brothers masturbating using turnips picked fresh from the castle gardens. Moaning loudly another brotherâs name using mimicry while hiding in the kitchen pantry so the servants thought they were having homosexual relations, she was a playful demoness, but one whose curiosity always killed more than just cats. This delicate femaleâs psychosis was that she talked to things that were not there, or at least so her father and brothers thought. It was a natural gift for her to speak with the âDark Onesâ, to learn from them and do the nefarious deeds that they told her. Unfortunately, there was never any way for her to tell if they were actually real all the time, or because of her psychosis they were only real part of the time.
It had provided many hours of entertainment as a child, to do the evil things her mind or the demons told her, especially to her brothers. Many hours of perverse amusement all at their expenses, from unpicking the seams of their attire so that when they went out in public or to formal meetings, their clothes fell off their bodies leaving them exposed like newborn babies for all to gawk and laugh at. The secret was, they all had small dicks; they just made up for it in violence and verbal tongue battles. She also loved to taunt the goat to piss in a pot, then pour it into ale bottles and restock the authentic articles with the goats piss in a bottle. Oh how Lidia loved to see their faces turn from white to green, vomit for hours and rub their tongues on each otherâs coats or the family crest. How she loved to hire male transsexual prostitutes to dress in their finest and hottest garments, to lure the boys into their frilly, red satin and lace compartments. Waiting for the shrill scream to escape as the boys came running out into the street. Trousers to their ankles, violently shuddering at the fact they had discovered what crown jewels really lurked beneath the lace. Big, long, packages with two hairy balls to bounce on their chins while having their tonsils tickled with gigantic pickles.
The funny thing was, they never expected her, she was the one they least blamed- instead throwing punched at each other. Blood noses and black eyes for the sweets of her devilry, and what a devil Lidia was. Behind every Talusthrone prank, a Lidia was sure to be behind it. But never found. Another masterful trick was that Lidia could always get out of the trouble she caused. How? It was easy, her father had this wild idea that women werenât trickery in their dealings, and one was not smart enough to outwit him and the retarded jocks he called âsonsâ. That no female was intelligent enough to be able to fool the wisdoms of his sons when the truth was, it was never really all that hard to do it. They were a bunch of fucking imbeciles. Sure Draegan was smart, handsome and witty (usually), Median, strong, proud and artful with his sword. Raven⦠well Raven had his insanity, but Lidia knew he wasnât as insane as they all wanted to believe, that half the time it was all just a stage act (most of the time). Cheeky eyes had spied on him, she had a small crack in the stone wall behind a strange picture of nothing but eyes that Raven had painted. It always gave her the willies. But a useful tool in spying.
What she had seen behind the eyes of insanity was a sane man, though eating spiders and crickets. (Lidia never deprived anyone of crunchy tasty treats. They were good for protein. She enjoyed them herself from time to time, though she used pepper steak sauce to sweeten the deal.). Reading or drawing naked women on the walls or a busy quill writing pages of prophesy about demons and devils seeking to make pacts with him, to promise him many naked women and private tidbits. Lidia had more respect for Raven than the others, she could sit there for hours behind the wall playing with her hair while watching Raven toil away to his sanity or insanity. Like most Talusthrone, he had two faces, two sides and two perceptions of looking at their derangement as blessing and curse. It was like the sides of a copper coin, one always polished and the other tarnished. They were a cursed, tarnished family. Marked by the centuries of lechers, braggarts, thieves, murders and satanic thirsts for power and domination. It had come with a pact made by their great grandfather with the horned one himself, though legend had it that the devil came in the guise of a beautiful angel, seducing him only to trick him of his soul.
They all had been dabblers, not experts in the act of conjuration. Fools uttering words of forgotten names and languages, what they thought had been Lucifer was in fact Lilith. Her passion and lust to seduce silly male mortals overwhelmed anything else for reason, to promise the world only to give them hell. That was all they deserved, to place women at their heels only to be bested by one, and one that wasnât all that supposed to be corruptive and sly. It had only proved her point and theory, that the Talusthrone men should leave the brains and politics to the women and tend to their strange whims of severing female genitals for even stranger ornaments and jewelry. Wonders never ceased. Today was no exception as her ear was pressed to the old wooden door separating the foyer from the throne room. Lidia had never been allowed to speak to her father in the room of men, she had to wait, find her father and speak to him in confidence in what he deemed as appropriate surroundings for a woman, the kitchen while he ravaged the maids over tables. Speaking to her between thrusts and grunts. Or out in the rose garden while he played finger pool with himself, looking at her tits and not addressing her as anything but a visionary aid for his sexual pleasures.
Notions of balls, masks and fancy dresses appealed to her slightly, but the thoughts and speeches in regards to the Darkbane females held no interest. Kalicity was nothing but another whore without a face, an object for them to throw their fetch at her, a poser and a slave. Pandora was just a dead dinosaur, another one threatening to wake only to be as redundant as the last time she daunted the world with nonentity. As for AtraâLamia, Lidia held slight envy and jealousy. Like most Talusthrones, she had never seen her only heard how other warriors had heard or imagined her. Lidia would not deny that she sounded amazingly beautiful but her stomach turned listening to how Draegan pined after her like a dog in heat. Then again that was no surprise to Lidia, however, it was the first time she had heard Draegan speak of affection, even love before. It made her skin crawl that any woman would even consider it, that she would rather stitch it up, cut them off or magically turn herself into a boy just to avoid it. Would that even deter Draegan? From what Lidia gathered, he had a massive hard on for the wench. Sleeking away from the door just as Raven opened it and left, vanishing into the shadows and behind the massive black curtain framing the wall and huge stained glass window. Hidden for the moment, waiting for her chance to speak with her father and add her two cents worth of madness into the situation, just like her brothers. [/align:82c0fc69db]
