Nothing worse then what you did to her.
Revenge is something he understands, and respects. The sisters have the right to do whatever they want to do with the man who made their life hell.
Xiras jerks suddenly back on Neld legs, causing his arms to fail to support and face to hit the ground rather heavily. He drags him back towards him and passes his legs by to Faust.
"Pass this on I believe it now belongs to to the ladies." he says as he places Nelds legs in Faust's hand to drag back.

Smile your day could be worse, so I did smile and it was worse.
Moments later the sisters make their way around the bend to where Neld has been captured. Athy smirks as she sees the fear in Neld's eyes as he sees her and Kira's head hangs low, showing her sadness with the situation. As Athy gets closer she weaves a quick spell, making a chained collar and shackles appear. She stands over him and spits on his face, and he cowers. She brings a heavily muscled thrull to her side and hands it the collar and shackles; it forcefully brings Neld to his feet and attaches the restraints. A trance like appearance falls over Neld and a pleased look crosses Athy's face.
Where does this tunnel lead to?
The Mines.
If we go the other way they will lead us about a mile outside of town.
Kira chimes in, and a confused look from Athy follows.
Why didn't he say that?
He doesn't know about it. Being the Priestess to Serra meant that everyone told me their secrets. Neld had this tunnel built so he could sneak in and out of the mines and make himself richer.
Athy shook her head disdainfully.
Neld wanted the makers of the tunnel to keep it secret, but they told me anyways. I asked them to make an alternate path leading under the town hospital and town orphanage, and then out of the town about a mile to the south. The entrance is hidden my a Magical barrier, which I remember the location of. It isn't solid, so we can walk through it. It's back a little ways.
Athy nodded.
Lead the way Kira.
Kira led them back and to the entrance. She walked through it followed by the others, and led up and out of the tunnels. They find themselves in a heavily wooded area. If they look up the can see the smoke from the town being ablaze. Once outside Athy channels her Mana and brings forth four Nightmares.
They should be able to get us home quickly. Mount up.
Athy and Kira take one 'Mare and Neld and the thrull take another.
Xiras emerges through the barrier, all covered in dust from chase, he proceeds to dust himself down. Satisfied that is he looking proper again, he approaches the nightmare Athy just summoned.
What a magnificent creature, the power of these girls doesn't fail to impress
He stroked its mane briefly before leaping onto its back.
"Faust, I trust you'll be more comfortable on these than you were on the bat" he says with a smirk remembering Faust's antics on the journey to New Engdar.
He gives Xiras a grin in return as he remembers their trip to New Engdar. It seems so long ago, he can't believe it was only a few days back.
Faust grabs the mane of his Nightmare, before deciding against it and instead grabs on to the creature's other side and pulls himself up. He turns himself around to face the front and gives the sisters a nod showing he was ready to go.
A bemused look falls over the sisters at the duo's banter.
Let us be off then. Yip Yip! Take us home.
She says and the Nightmares take flight. They charge across the sky, racing towards New Engdar. The trip is still a long ride despite the Nightmares' increased air speed. It isn't until dusk that Engdar even appears on the horizon. As the night starts to set in they land in front of the Manor. The sisters, Neld and the thrull dismount, and Athy dismisses the 'Mares that they were using. The ladies take a moment and stretch after they get off of the Nightmares. Athy looks to the Mages after she is finished.
I will send off a report to the Syndicate tonight. We should have a response back by midday tomorrow. Until then you two are welcome to stay the night once again.
Faust stretches his limbs, sore from the long flight over. He winces at the sting he feels from his aching muscles, certain that they'll feel worse in the morning. Still, it feels good that they've completed their mission. Spend the night in your mansion again? Don't mind if I do.
Neld...Neld will become practice. There are many, shall we say, mind exploring abilities that the Orzhov have granted me and I would very much like to have a subject to use them on. In light of what he has done in his past I consider it justified.
Athy replies with a bit of eagerness in her voice. As she speaks Kira takes a long look at Neld, she closes her eyes, shakes her head and looks away.
I would says that I hope that neither of find this disconcerting, but in this matter I care not as to what other may or may not think.
Athy replies with a smile. She then claps her and a thrull comes out of the shadows surrounding the Manor and walks over to her.
Take them to the rooms they had before.
The thrull nods and leads the Mages back into the Manor and up to their rooms. Athy, Kira, the thrull and Neld follow them into the Manor, but head down a different hall.
~~~~~
Xiras and Faust wake around mid morning to the smells of cooked meat and freshly baked bread. They quickly notice that a large tray of assorted meats, vegetables and baked goods have been placed in their rooms.
Faust reluctantly rises from the cotton softness of his bed, wondering what had roused him. He quickly figures out why. The smell of fresh pastries and other goods assaults his nose, and sets his stomach grumbling. I love this job!
He quickly stuffs his face full of the breakfast delights, making his last day of luxury worthwhile.
Xiras proceeds to eat as much as he can from the tray, which isn't that much in comparison to the amount available. Clearly no guest goes hungry on these grounds.
I will miss the luxury, we have been presented with on this job
Having had his full, he is eager to complete this job and eager for the coin it will provide, he heads out the door to his room, signalling the nearest thrull.
"I need to see Athy, if she is available"

Smile your day could be worse, so I did smile and it was worse.
The thrull nods it's understanding, points down the hall and starts walking. It leads Xiras up to the hallway before Athy's office. It then bows at the waist and heads back down the stair.
Finishing his meal, Faust wipes away the crumbs that had fallen onto the folds of his robes and the grandeur bed. He had to admit, he is a little sad to be leaving the manor. Luxury is something people could easily get used to.
He opens the door and walks outside his room, wandering the hallway to look for someone who could take him to see Athy.
He takes the seat on the left and eases himself into it.
Comfortable like everything else in this manor, I wonder if she has questioned Neld yet.
"Athy, forgive me if a step too far, but I have a fascination with other forms of magic and I would be very keen to observe one of your practice sessions on Neld if you would allow it? Figured it best to ask before Kira arrives as she seems sensitive regarding it."

Spend the night in your mansion again? Don't mind if I do.
"It would be a pleasure to spend the night once more." he smiles.
The quest is all but over, I wonder how the girls will deal with Neld
Xiras struggles with his curiosity but fails
"If you don't mind me asking, what will become of Neld?"
Athy replies with a bit of eagerness in her voice. As she speaks Kira takes a long look at Neld, she closes her eyes, shakes her head and looks away.
I would says that I hope that neither of find this disconcerting, but in this matter I care not as to what other may or may not think.
"That sounds just considering what he done to you both. . . Now if you will excuse me, I will take advantage of your hospitality and rest."
Xiras looks around for a thrull to lead him to the guest rooms once again.
You deserve this chance for revenge. I'm not going to stand in your way.
Not that they would matter anyways..
Athy replies with a smile. She then claps her and a thrull comes out of the shadows surrounding the Manor and walks over to her.
Take them to the rooms they had before.
The thrull nods and leads the Mages back into the Manor and up to their rooms. Athy, Kira, the thrull and Neld follow them into the Manor, but head down a different hall.

He opens the door and walks outside his room, wandering the hallway to look for someone who could take him to see Athy.
Morning, glad to see that you are awake. Are you ready to see Athy?
~~~~~
Enter please.
Comes Athy's voice in reply to the knock.
He inquires.
"Good morning Lady Athy, thank you for the breakfast that I awoke to, it was satisfying" he says with a smile.
She says as she walks up to him.
Thank you again. Now, shall we be off?
~~~~~~~~~~
You are quite welcome. Please, come in and be seated.
She says as the pair of chairs appeared once more.
Faust and Kira will be here shortly; and then we can get down to the business at hand.
Faust says looking to the ground, shuffling his feet.
Anyone would've done it.
He looks back up gesturing to Kira to lead the way.
Comfortable like everything else in this manor, I wonder if she has questioned Neld yet.
"Athy, forgive me if a step too far, but I have a fascination with other forms of magic and I would be very keen to observe one of your practice sessions on Neld if you would allow it? Figured it best to ask before Kira arrives as she seems sensitive regarding it."
