Tatiana had not wanted to do it. But she knew she had to. She went to see Mr. Tai because she was so afraid, she did not want to go alone. Tatiana met up with Mr. Tai in Zento. He was not free to accompany her, so he sent Mr. Galathan and Mr. Walter to give her reassurance. With that, Tatiana opened a gate and went to Hanse's in search of the Sanctus jail. She was going to speak to Miss Faith.
After some searching, Mr. Galathan and Mr. Walter found the jail but alas they were not able to get in to see Miss Faith. Mr. Galathan found a pigeon and sent it with a message to Mr. Spawn. Surprisingly, several of the Sanctus members showed up. This gave Tatiana a bit more courage. After leaving several items behind that might be used as weapons, Mr. Spawn allowed the three of them upstairs to the cells where Miss Faith was incarcerated.
It was all Tatiana could do to walk into that area and see her. Her hands shook and her knees wobbled, but she strode forward. Miss Faith was her usual charming self, that is to say, she was cruel and heartless. Tatiana worked up her nerve and stepped forward.
"Miss Faith" she stammered out.
Miss Faith, being the person she was, sneered and made rude comments.
Not to be dissuaded Tatiana persisted. "Miss Faith, I have come to beg you to tell me of a cure for this curse you have placed upon me."
"You have come to beg? Then get on your knees and beg properly."
Tatiana fell to her knees and begged anew, willing herself not to cry.
Miss Faith made more rude comments and spoke down to Tatiana and the tears she had been holding at bay fell despite her best efforts. Of course, Miss Faith thought this no end of amusement and said so.
Tatiana absorbed it all and persisted. "Please, Miss Faith tell me what I must do to remove this awful curse." And Miss Faith did, and Tatiana lost much hope. Miss Faith said she had to kill some giant spider named Mephitis. Tatiana felt her heart fall to her feet. She could never hope to defeat such a champion; she made things, it was all she knew how to do.
And Tatiana felt the tears on her cheeks as Miss Faith spat more barbs at her.
Tatiana did the proper thing and thanked Miss Faith, and stood up to leave. Miss Faith being the person she is, made a jumping motion setting Tatiana to screaming and running for Mr. Galathan and Mr. Walter. Mr. Spawn was not happy with Miss Faith's behavior and went into the cell to speak to her. Tatiana thanked the members of Sanctus and turned to leave, each step a blow to her heart.
Mr. Galathan and Mr. Walter were worried and tried to reassure her. Tatiana smiled the brightest smile she could muster and thanked them as she opened a gate back to Zento. Once there, Mr. Galathan and Mr. Walter took her straight to Mr. Tai.
Mr. Tai took Tatiana to the side and she told him what Miss Faith had said. And broke down into endless sobs. She could never succeed. Mr. Tai smiled softly and explained that Miss Faith would of course offer the most difficult solution she could find. Tatiana looked up at Mr. Tai with a bit of hope bursting in her chest. Mr. Tai nodded and said that he had Mr. Hugh working on an answer, since he was very knowledgeable in ancient lores and cures and curses and such. The tiny nub of hope in Tatiana's chest burst forth and brought a real smile to her face. And ten minutes later, the smile turned to a look of sheer terror, Miss Faith had escaped.

Faith stood there, impatient in her little cell provided by spawn. She spat drow curses at the guard that day, rattled the bars with an iron cup from her last meal and threw it at him. The guard said, "please settle down or i will summon m'lord Spawn to deal with you!". At this, faith sneered and then went to sit in her corner again. A few moments later, the door opened. "what now?" she thought. A slender elven female Faith never seen came in. She was followed by Spawn who said "You have visitors." This was followed by a brief check for weapons Faith did not hesitate to moan as if she was getting pleasure out of it, although, she did make sure to add a tone of mockery into it. Either way, Spawn was not happy with her additude. Then came the visit.

Two men followed by a very nervous Tatiana Alexi came in. Faith lips slowly curved into a cruel smile. "Awww... usstan have missed dos! How is my spider doing in there?", she said as she gazed down at tatiana's belly. Tatiana was hesitant at first, but then after a few reasuring words from spawn and the two other men, Tatiana finally came up to the bars. Faith stood there, impriously standing there with her arms folded, her cleavage bulging out of her top. Tatiana stammered as she tried to request softly to Faith for the cure of the drow curse put upon her. Faith chuckled. "Does il honestly think usstan would be that easy?" she thought
to her self. As tatiana requested again, this time saying she begged, Faith spoke and said, "If dos are going to beg, do it properly, on dosst knees".
As Tatiana kneeled, Faith then said, "now lick the bars.." As Tatiana refused to lick the bars, Faith lunged at the bars to grab at her. Tatiana screamed and fell back. "Step back drow!", shouted spawn as he drew his sword.

Faith chuckled and once again stood in her spot a few steps away from the bar. Tatiana then begged, this time a bit further from the bars. Faith finally decided her fun had passed so told her. "If dos really want the cure, dos would have to prove dosst self in battle by facing the lesser champion of Lolth, Mephitis. It matters naut how many help dos.. after all, il is naut just a minion."

At this, Tatiana said her thanks. At this, Faith made a slight movement as if she would lunge again. Tatiana let out a loud scream and turned quickly running to Walter and Galathan. Faith chucked. Spawn shouted, "Faith!".
At this, Faith turned her back on all of them, her arms folded with a smirk on her face.

Tatiana was lead out by her escorts and the slender elven woman. One of the escorts, Galathan handed Spawn a book for Faith to read. Spawn put bread, water and the book inside. As he closed the cell door, Faith demanded wine instead of water. Spawn refused claiming it was contraband. Faith then scowled slighty as she picked up the book, bread and water and began to read the book as she ate. Occasionally she made a sour face as she read something she dissagreed with, and a slight nod at something she may have agreed with. Spawn then left the room. A few seconds later, a mysterious being from the shadow casted by the bars had had put a rune and scroll in her hand. "Do not ask me questions, just use the rune and scroll to get yourself out of this cell." Faith, not wasting any time, casted the recall, the scroll burned to ashes. Faith was now in a different place. She then searced the area looking for reagents that would get her home. Since she had none of her own, due to Spawn confiscating her reagents, weapon and shield, she had to forage for them. Luckily her spell and rune books were not among those confiscated. Faith finally found her ingrediants and then casted again, finally to her temple. She went back later during the evening to reclaim her reagents, cutlas and shield.

Faith,

I have received word that you have escaped custody from my prison. This news disturbs me greatly to have learned of it. I'm quite curious to know how you escaped and who helped you. I must credit you Faith escaping Sanctus custody once. Trust me my dear drow, it shall not happen again. I hope you savor the taste of freedom drow because if you step into Sanctus again, I shall place you where you belong where freedom is but a dream for criminals like you. And if the coward who helped you escape attempts another stunt like they did, they shall face the most dire consequences.

Hence my words drow, you shall not escape me again. I would ask you to turn yourself and your accomplices to me but I know you shall not do that. So I shall wait for you to mess up and when you do apprehend you in the name of all that is just. Good day to you.
