[Drayden Calamyr]

---

The warmth had grown more within him. A warmth that kept the fires of hate and rage alive in his heart. Magicinians....his only daughter. In his mind burned the unforgivable crimes that the humanist pigs had committed against him. Time would see how true their laws were, plans were in motion to claim some measure of vengeance against his oldest enemy. His nemesis. His eyes had opened more and more during his time as The Patriarch. Drayden knew through and through that this was his place in Vhaeraun's plan. In Vhaeraun's grand chess game. His mind returned to his physical body from reverie. There was a presence amongst his kind that he had not sensed in some time....
Lloth...The Spider Queen. Drayden rose from his reclined position in the master bedroom of their Manor. He made his way to where he may convene with The Masked One. His Lord would have directives for him no doubt with the presence of his hated Mother. The Patriarch kneeled before His statue in the courtyard.

What is your bidding my master?
Drayden heard the voice in his mind. Strong yet subdued. Indifferent yet passionate...
You sense her return my Patriarch. We must bide our time, continue our plans and watch patiently. She will no doubt seek you out as well as the child Drow. The humans may be of use. They are blinded by what they see. All of my brotherhood are the same to them....this can be exploited to our advantage my brother.

Drayden kneeled still, listening to the wisdom of his Lord. He could feel the blessings of the Masked One upon him.
"As you command my Lord." Drayden said aloud.
They are cursed with a short life on the surface. A simplistic existence cannot comprehend what I have spent thousands of their lifetimes contemplating and putting it into place. Mother would have them exterminated, yet I am patient and willing to allow them life. Yet this is not enough for them? We have been more than reasonable with the humans. Use them against mother Patriarch, so that your thirst for vengeance will be quenched and the cause will be furthered.
"We will commune again my Lord. I will do as you command."

Drayden rose and walked purposefully back inside. There was work to be done.
