Genovela's offer

"Tell you what" began Genovela. "I've missed you a lot. If you think working with these three women is really worth it, and they are willing to give you your powers back, I will join them, and you. I will also dispel the curse I've put on everything, and set them free. But they also must be willing to help us in return. Will they follow us to the Underdark, perhaps even the Underworld itself?"

"We have already discussed that, and they are willing to hunt for treasures below. I've already sworn to be their guide."

Genovela raised an eyebrow at this. "It looks like you've figured out everything. You probably know what I'm after."

Alijah took the beautiful Succubus into his arms. "You still think it is better to rule the Nine Hells than to serve in Paradise? Yes, I know what you're after. The Scepter of Ba'Al Thran."

"We can rule together, forever" she said as she leaned in to kiss him. "I want you with me always."

Alijah broke the kiss. "I will be with you always."

Genovela looked deep into Alijah's eyes. "I love you so much. I can't refuse you anything." She looked over at the three sleeping women, and in a low voice began to chant an incantation. Then, with a wave of her hand, the collars and the ring fell off and disappeared. The armor Mira was wearing actually turned into armor. In fact it was the sound of the armor that woke Mira up.

Mira looked around, and blinked a few times. She looked over at Alijah and Genovela. "I take it she's a friend of yours?" she asked while grabbing the hilt of her sword.

"No worries, Mira" Alijah smiled. "She is a friend, and she also wants to help us. If you take notice, she dispelled the curse. Your armor is once again armor."

"Yes, it's rather noisy sleeping in a suit of armor" said Mira. "But I had the strangest dream. I dreamed that I was Khala's ****."

"No doubt Ariane also had the same dream" Alijah told her. "Khala ws up to no good. She had put collars around both of your necks with the hopes of enslaving you both."

Mira looked over at the sleeping form of Khala. "Why that little pervert! I have a mind to beat her ass until it's red! Is there a way we can make this backfire on her? Maybe teach her a lesson?"

Alijah laughed. "It looks like the human saying 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' is true!"

"I think we can come up with something to punish a horny Elf with" Genovela smiled.
