DA FF: Blades (5g: Red Crystal)

“Hmm…” Tilting my head, I approach Jeremiah with a little saunter in my step. “Tempting…”

Hiding the action of one hand behind me, I use the other to distract him, reaching to cup his cheek. I signal the others with a subtle gesture.

DA FF: Blades (5f: A Blade for Hire)

“Fine,” I say, keeping my expression composed. “We can work together again.”

“Ilara, don’t do this,” Sylas says, grabbing my arm. The grip he has on me is almost painful, but it’s nothing compared to the way he’s looking at me. Like he doesn’t even know who I am anymore. “What about making things right again? What about getting justice for everything he’s done?”

DA FF: Blades (4e: Her Servant)

“Fine,” I say, after weighing my options. “I will serve you.”

I’m tired of getting screwed. Playing by the rules has given’ me nothing but betrayal. It’s time to try something new.

At least Karinn is honest about what she is.
