TLoS N'sS 1: Malefor's Warning

*   *   *
The Lady Nightshade had... A rather bad day, to say the least...

...The dragon queen paced up and down, anger and worry in her dark green eyes. It had all gone wrong! Her prisoners had been freed (all except the Kat'Harven couple), her servant had escaped and been emancipated...

"You've taken your eye off the ball, Nightshade..." Came a deep and savage voice. The dragoness spun round, as her master's spirit emerged from the shadows.
"Malefor! Master! How... How did you get in!?"
He snorted, and circled Nightshade angrily. "Don't patronize me, Nightshade!" He spat. "Who built this citadel?"
"I... I thought it was Cynder... Sir."
"Cynder...?" The purple dragon laughed. "That useless rat!? She couldn't build herself a house of cards! Let alone an entire citadel... You should know that... I mean, she is YOUR daughter, after all..." Then he grew angry again. "No! It was me! I Built this 'palace' which you now reside within! I know every little detail of it." The dark master looked around. "So... You've failed me again, haven't you?"
Nightshade looked at the floor. "It's only a minor setback, sir..."
"Like the escape of Korinth and Sasha, was "only a minor setback"? How your daughter turning on you was "Only a minor setback"?! Tell me Nightshade, how many more setbacks must I take from you!? EVERY plan you've made so far, has been a failure, at the hands of Cynder, and that impure runt she calls a soul-mate!" Malefor snorted angrily. "Your job was to release my body into the world. That's why I granted you the crown of Sekeolath. But..." Nightshade then yelped as a fiery paw closed around her mouth, and pushed her onto the floor; where, an evil looking red dragon stood over her; his body VERY close to hers.
"This is Surtur. Let him be a reminder to you. If you fail me again; he'll be replacing you... And, he'll get you as his plaything..."
Nightshade look terrified up at the red dragon, who looked ready to open himself, and rape her, but Malefor made a gesture with his paw, and Surtur snorted, before getting off the dragon queen.
"Remember Nightshade..." Malefor spoke. "You're alone without us. Everything you have become is down to me. So I expect equal efforts from you, for the time I spent... You WILL find a way to release me!" Then, Malefor faded away, and Surtur apperated in a blaze of black demonfire. Leaving the dragon queen alone, sitting deathly still, trying to block the memory of that terrible body on her; and ignore the images in her head of what he would've done to her...
