The Self Appointed Queen

[Marie]

Marie sat on her make-shift thrown made of random pieces of wood that she found in her paradise, the sewers of Ryfaugh. This was her favorite place in the whole wide world because it had every she liked and nothing she didn't like. It had the rotten scum of the city: the beggars, thieves, killers, and the religious. Religion was a big thing with Marie and Rit was currently on the round up off any man woman or child with religious leaning. In Rit's mind religion was evil. There's one thing the sewers didn't have and would never want, Rit and his control over the rest of the city along with all the other pieces of crap that ruled the city. The sewers had rats, her favorite animals, and they didn't have the brightness of the sun which she didn't like that much. And most of all it held her mounds of stolen riches which she had well hidden somewhere in large sewer system. This was definitely paradise.

A few rats scurried through the revolting, well revolting to most people, smelling water and a smile crossed over her face. They were running away from something or someone. Who was coming to pay her a visit?

Asheira walked from the castle to the sewers, her eyes darting about constantly, hoping for her life, that she had not been followed. His Majesty wanted trusted people to come to his side and help scour the city of religion. Asheira was his unfortunate choice to find those people. She had made a promise to herself that she would find at the very least, one, that could not be trusted, but act the part and she knew just where to find such a person.

She walked up to the Queen of the sewers and she even gave her a nice curtsy, out of proper respect? No, not so much more than to simple show a sign of it.

“Excuse me, your majesty, but I have come, with an offer.” She stated, a slight smirk beginning to turn up the corners of her lips.

[Marie]

"There is no need to be formal," Marie said as she raved off the show of respect. She had to admit she was faltered but there was no need for this. She was a queen yes, but she did not rule with an iron fist as the Lord did in the land above. Her role was more just to see that the rules, though not many, were upheld and that the inhabitants of her land were kept safe. This was a refuge from the tyranny that plagued the kingdom above. If it was to be ruled by a tyrant then its point was ruined. So she had to live just as everyone else did. She did have a little bit more but that was from her own earnings.

She rose and walked down to equal level as the girl. For a moment she just stood there examining the own who had come to see her. "You're Rit's slave-girl are you not?" She paused and took another second to scan this person. "So I'm guessing Rit wants me for something." She wouldn't except any other with that man and so she turned and began to make her way back to her throne. She stopped suddenly and twisted herself so that she saw the girl yet her feet were pointed forward. "Or do you wish me to do somethin?"

[Asheira]

Asheira grinned, an almost delighted emotion not like her at all. “Very well.” She said, to the comment of proprieties and how they should be used in the presence of this woman of slight power.

She waited for the woman to gain her seat again, listening to her comments and questions, before responding in any way, she wanted to get a feel for this woman, she knew she was against most everything her master wished for, the perfect person to aid Asheira in her desires to make her masters life a living hell, as he was most certainly deserving of such treason.

“Yes I am here but not in the whole on my masters orders.” Asheira responded then went on again. “He seems to want me to find him a few, reliable, and trustworthy people to aid him in his quest to purge the Realm of its Religious facilities and rebels.” She answered, her tone taking on darkness not the norm for most slaves, but this was no ordinary slave girl. “I found through a few trusted birds of my own, that you may be both wiling and capable of helping me in this matter.” She finished with a smile.

[Marie]

She took a good moment to listen, another to look at a rat scuring through the scum water, yet another to decide whether to follow it or not, and then another moment to think about thinking about what the slave had said. Well the answers were no and yes in no specific order. The chance to ruin Rit's overall plans was a tempting offer but there were draw backs. The greatest of these drawbacks being the fact that she would have to go above the ground.

"Even with an eggo like his he is bound to know who I am." She said kind of sadly as she really did make her way to the throne. Sitting down she wondered why she didn't follow that Rat. "So unless you have some genius plan for me to not be recognized its imposible for me to help you. Though I do wish I could."
