[C.O.D] 11 "Familiar Darkness"
Lara Rosewood
Alright, start talking
Aria Bal
Now that is something I'm very good at, see I could talk for hours and hours about the most boring topics or the most fun topics, anything really so what topics shall we discus then hmm?
Talila
The Daedra, what are they?
Aria Bal
Ah yes a good question. Those two... uh creatures downstairs are named Angelika and Cortana, they are a mix of lesser and greater Daedra, their only purpose is to well... serve they're Master which happens to be me
Talila
They dangerous?
Aria Bal
Oh yes, very. See they are also bodyguards. They would have killed you all if not for my intervention, they saw you as a threat to me. You are all lucky to be alive
Lara Rosewood
Well, I'm feeling lucky
Talila
Can we trust them?
Aria Bal
Yes, they are loyal to me and only me
Lara Rosewood
Alright, why are they here?
Talila
Yeah, kinda iffy that show up just as I'm about you beat you
Aria Bal
Correction, I beat you and second I have no clue. Though the most likey cause is they were worried about me
Lara Rosewood
Hmm, we alright
Talila
Are they like you?
Aria Bal
No, I'm a far more powerful Daedra sadly to say, they are as I said a mix of lesser and greater Daedra. Their intelligence is limited, but they are powerful when together
Lara Rosewood
Hmm, so what do we do with them?
Talila
Send them back!
Aria Bal
No! Bad idea guys, uh girls. They are... important to me.
Lara Rosewood
Important how?
Aria Bal
They... are the only real Family I have left, everyone else is... gone
Lara Rosewood
Family, what are you on about?
Phoenix
She means dead
Aria Bal
Not dead, just.... well it's a fate worse then death shall we say, my Sister Erica taught me all I know. I'm the reason shes... gone. The only reason I'm still here is because of Angelika and Cortana
Lara Rosewood
So, they are like slaves?
Aria Bal
Servants, not slaves. I've treated them well, better then anyone else would have. I've been protecting them from... my Brother
Lara Rosewood
Your Brother?
Phoenix Bal
Saren?
Aria Bal
Yes, that asshole. He is a powerful Daedra, more powerful then me and all of you. That is why for the past few years I've been living here and hiding from him. He sent me here about a decade ago to find a rogue Daedra who fled but after a year, I gave up my search and started to see things.... differently
Phoenix Bal
You've been here nearly 10 years Ari?
Talila
Impossible, people would have noticed you
Aria Bal
Not impossible, I've traveled a lot in those years. Made friends here or there, everyone who knew of me either forgot or kept quiet about it. But well most folk think I'm a Dunmer, a tall Dunmer at that. Few knew I was a Daedra, plus... I can kinda, change my body
Lara Rosewood
Change your what now?
Aria Bal
My Body, any part of it I choose. I'm whats called an Infiltrator Class Daedra, we are sent to this world with a single purpose, kill. Once here we kind of sleep inside and let the fake person control. We've lived along you mortals for thousands of years, few know of us, fewer alive.
Talila
Wait wait, you are telling me Tamriel has been invaded by Daedra?
Aria Bal
Not invaded, infiltrated yes. But they are likey harmless, the Daedra inside is not aware of anything till they reach their target, some it takes days, others weeks some years and others decades. Some never awaken.
Talila
How do we know your really you?
Aria Bal
Because I'm being honest with you, all of you. I've been here long enough to think of this world as my home now, I know I'm not welcome all the time but I have stood in its defense more times then you'd know. I have bled for this land, and loved this land. So now I am choosing my side, not Molag Bal's, not my own, no hers, I'm on her side
Phoenix Bal
Wait... my side?
Talila
What does that even mean?
Aria Bal
Its simple, I'm loyal only to the person I care for more than anything, the person who treated me like a person when I was not. She, is my everything and I now am giving her my everything.
Lara Rosewood
Wow.... did you like just get married?
Phoenix
Ari that was a nice speech and all, but... you should have left some stuff out
Aria Lustfal Bal
You mean like my butt plug story?
Phoenix
Whats that?
Aria Lustfal Bal
Nevermind, look I said what I said because I want you all to trust me
Phoenix
I trust you
Aria Bal
I know you do, and it means the world to me but, well Tali is not so... forgiving
Phoenix
She will come around, trust me once she sees how much you've tried to make an impression on her, on me all of us
Aria Bal
Thanks babe
Phoenix
You are welcome hon
Aria Bal
It feels good to let it all out
Phoenix
You did a good job. I think Lara and Tali are convinced, but tell me the truth. Are they really a threat to us?
Aria Bal
No, I mean yes I mean... shit! Look, I'm on your side, they are on my side so we are all on the same side in the end.
Phoenix
Hmm, okay. So, they are your servants, kinda like how you are mine?
Aria Bal
Yes, they are mine but its a little different. My love for them is not sexual, its... well something else. My love for you is everything and more
Phoenix
That somehow sounded romantic Ari
Aria Bal
Awww, see I am getting better
Phoenix
Yes, you are. Now, come on it is almost lunch time
Aria Bal
I'll make you some food
Phoenix
Well I think Lara was cooking something up for us, she and Tali went hunting remember?
Aria Bal
They sure go hunting a lot
Ella The Thief
Maybe they want some alone time too hmm?
Aria Bal
Hah, true I never thought of that
Phoenix
Thought of what?
Aria Bal
Them as lovers
Phoenix
EWW!
Ella The Thief
Why not? Tali is so Lara's type
Aria Bal
Really?
Phoenix
Her type? I'm confused
Ella The Thief
Means shes attracted to your Sister
Aria Bal
And wants to play a certain game with her
Phoenix
Ella The Thief
The one with bumping and grinding
Aria Bal
Oh I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind
Phoenix
Can you two stop teasing me please?
Ella The Thief
Hah see ya
Aria Bal

Phoenix

Aria Bal
You are so cute!
Phoenix
Oh you, behave and clean up this mes
Aria Bal
Yes Ma'am
Phoenix
Uh, wait I was kidding
Aria Bal
Hah too late
Phoenix
What am I gonna do with you?
Aria Bal
I can think of a few things, but I might need a stretch
Phoenix
<Shakes head>
Aria Bal
Hey you asked
Phoenix
Sometimes I wonder why I bother
Aria Bal
Because you like me, like "super duper like" me
Phoenix
As much as I "really like you" you are not sleeping in my bed
Aria Bal

Aria Bal
