82 Wrath Repor

After that..... Ravel spent a couple days in her room. I was kept in a safe area as I waited. Kess and Vulki found their way in and kept me company along with Inival who has been on edge. Apparently the situation is quite chaotic from what Vulki told me. She has seen quite a few things from above. Soldiers from both sides are mixed into the citizens. It is hard for people to tell friend from foe and the whole situation is a real mess. Hundreds of corpses accumulate each day.

...

...

Finally, after waiting for three days, Ravel came out. A weird vomit-like smell is coming from her room.... I ignore that as I focus on her. She has lost a lot of weight and is haggard. Still, a very determined look is plastered on her face. Her eyes look sharp.

"Thanks for waiting, Gin. I've prepared myself. All drow will be converted. I'll make sure of it. The nobles that aren't following Farblight will all be slaughtered. Them, their spawn, their servants. They will become irrelevant. I hope you still will accept me as a broodmother after I finish my work." Ravel

She no longer has that mischievous and bubbly way of talking. Ravel may recover back to that state or she may stay like this....

"Do you want any help?" Gin

"No, this is something that must be done by me. I will execute those nobles personally." Ravel

"Will that be fine? You are not-.

"Don't worry. I know that I am weak. I'm bringing out the old royal guard that followed my mother. They can only be brought out when the capital is in a state like this. They all are all at least level 27. They will supress this situation." Ravel

She takes her leave while draping a cloak over herself. A dozen royal guards follow her as she walks further away. Inival is dumbfounded by this and tells me something interesting.

"That demeanor is the same kind that her mother had. If Ravel's mother wasn't reaching the end of her lifespan, Ravel would never have taken the throne from her." Inival

-----

We stayed inside the palace for a few more days. During that time, we kept getting reports on the situation. The first day, a lot happened.

-Ravel called out the old royal guard. 216 members came out to suppress the choas in the capital.

-Ravel started capturing rebel nobles and heavily chained them to the walls of the capital to be eaten by birds. Approximately 1/4 of the nobles were dealt with. The rest went into hiding or fled the capital.

-The capital's unrest disappeared as order has been reinstated.

She did a lot in just one day. Looking at the sheer number of old royal guards that came out shocked me to no end. They are all at least level 27..... I seem to have underestimated the drow race. Luckily it seems that they are willing to go through conversion later. It's very odd. They are all willing which I find suspicious until Inival tells me something.

The second day was filled with interesting reports as well.

-The royal guard was split into groups to hunt down the rebel nobles.

-The ones that fled the capital were all captured as they did not have the speed or skill to evade the old royal guard. They will continue to hunt down rebel nobles that are spread throughout the country

-The royal guard and old royal guard started hunting down rebel nobles that are hiding in the capital. They employed several different tactics. It will take approximately three days before they are all captured.

-Ravel started seizing property from the rebel nobles. 12,985 properties were seized by regular guard members mixed with soldiers. 270,000 slaves were seized as well.

-Ravel personally executed 1,200 rebel nobles and their affiliates

The amount of slaves left me flabbergasted. Not only that, Ravel is making things move very quickly. I expected a long fight but, the old royal guard combined with fast decisions are making the process of suppression quick. The next day more reports came in. Drun and Farblight have become involved at this point

-Due to the aid of Madam Farblight, the speed of finding hidden rebel nobles has increased drastically. Only a few still remain in the capital.

-The old royal guard has hunted down half of the nobles hidden throughout the country. Most of them were found in a single mansion trying to perform a ritual. The old royal guard prevented whatever ritual it was and slaughtered them.

-Drun has begun hunting nobles in the country side. He has provided aid using blood magic to track them down.

-Blood mages are being used to hunt down the remaining nobles.

Those were the last reports we got. It seems that things became exponentially quicker after blood mages began hunting down the remaining nobles. After this was all over, Ravel came to see me again.

...

She has serious rings around her eyes and it seems that she has lost even more weight. Still, that look in her golden hued eyes has not faded. A heavy aura of bloodshed is coming off her. She has been executing many nobles personally and has ordered the execution of many more. Her cloak is dyed red from blood. Her skin which was a beautiful red before is now dull due to the blood that has continuously dried on her. She gives me a smile before stating something ridiculous.

"We will have the rest the drow in this pocket ready to convert in a week's time. That artifact that we got from my brother can be overcharged to allow you convert drow on an even wider scale. That's the best we can do with it since it is still bound to him. We will do it all in one go. Any drow that doesn't show up will be killed." Ravel

I figured we would spend a few weeks to a few months going around converting drow, however, Ravel seems to be really determined to finish it as soon as possible. I ask her a few questions. Apparently, she suppressed this rebellion quickly and forcefully because she didn't want the Union or Black Iron Pyre to take notice. Although the two of them are deep into war, a crack in a enemy will not be left alone.

She also wants to give the throne to any relative that wants it so that she can become a broodmother under me.

"I have many relatives in the royal faction. Sisters, aunts, nieces. Someone will want the position. It seems that those that you convert into devoured elves can't betray you so, I'll give my position up to one of my relatives that converts into one of them. I'm tired....." Ravel

She slowly loses that sharpness in her eyes. Exhaustion takes over as she starts to produce a melancholy look. She slowly walks off, followed by her royal guard. I have wanted to support her but, she denies any attempt at further talk when it comes to Wetho..... Well, it seems that I have a week to wait out.... I wonder if there is a library here?
