WAR comes to Kemena, part 2

The man strides angrily past the many guards of the sweltering compound into a burnt-red chamber of the fortress half as old as time. It is time for her to be given another dose but right now he needs her awake and at least partly able to talk. He lifts the slight body of the young woman in blue, growling into her face as her fugged mind and eyes try to focus on his mohawk.
I have something I need you to do woman.
Blinking and mumbling, the only clear words she gets out are Rel.
Oh, you're about to talk to him, my dear. He slaps her hard across the face. Dagger point under her chin to quell her struggles.

The Kidnapping of Kemena

Isabela is tired.  

    Tired of the constant pain, mental images of pain, physical pain, the emotional pain.  She sleeps rarely and when she does she dreams.  Of pain, her daughter screaming in pain.

    Sitting in the dark, listening to the sounds of night, the distant howl of the coyote, the soft footfall is out of place.  Focusing her eyes on the figure shrouded in darkness she realizes that he is speaking.

WAR comes to Kemena, part 1

Kemena sped to Keshatta.
She used the Swift Path, leaving behind family, Kyzafi and Zhorr as they slept exhausted after the long successful struggle against the bandit Atzel. As usual, the others had shielded her from the fighting as she prayed and healed, so now she was the only one of Command that was awake. The transition from frosty ice to gritty sand was unsettling but Invicta had been fighting for hours by the side of the Kings Guard in the heat here and as an officer it was up to her to quell her fears of night-haunted Stygia.

Kidnapping of Kemena

The following is the account of Brotherhood's actions in their aiding the most dear ally Nox Eternus, as recorded by Mandisa, the priestess of Set.
 ((took place on Friday night, Sep.26th))

'Halt!'
 The cry echoed from the surrounding walls. Two women stopped, finding themselves surrounded. Kemena tried to run for it, but - 'Cobra Stare!'. Her feet rooted to the ground, she swayed around dizzily. Yes, it is hard to resist that gaze..
 I snapped out of my reverie when Sontlux shouted the order to get the emblem. Emblem? Everything was happening so fast, I haven't even had a chance to get a good look at it. The path to the boats was clear and we took off. The plan was to take the woman to the island of the dead, Pashtun. No doubt Lord Neverlin had only to snap his fingers and the countless dead would bend their will to his, protecting the captives from any attempt of rescue.
