Serving the Dark Mother

“You are already Hers, just as you are already mine.”

The jaluk she was holding at the edge of the cliff was weak. Other yathrin might toss him over the edge and be done with him without much thought. But she had already invested much effort and many cycles on this one. She had even taken his lifeless corpse, carried it out of the filth-ridden waters of the half-submerged caverns and tunnels they had trudged through, and called upon the Dark Mother to forever take his soul or return his breath into his mangled physical vessel. Lolth had done the latter.

This she reminded him. It was by Her will that the foolish jaluk now lived and it would be by Her will if he continued to do so. He was already Hers and had always been Hers, despite his insolent protestations. Despite his proclaimed loyalty to a weaker god, he had chosen to serve a yathrin. He had sought her out. He had not protested.

And he felt guilt at the pleasure that it gave him. He was not completely lost, nor worthless. Isiobelle would help him continue to serve Lolth in his own way.

He knew the truth of her words. His eyes could not meet hers.
