Eternal
Maybe it’s due to sensing no deception and hearing Semra actually beg you for something that does it, but she actually manages to convince you.
“Okay.” You reply.
“…Really?” Semra says with a little shock.
“You’ve never lied to me Semra. You’ve always had an ulterior motive, but you’ve never lied. I can’t even sense a hidden motive either and given your genuine concern I have to believe that there must be something to what you’re saying.”
“Okay…so where does that leave us?”
“Same as always. However since I know if I engage you in combat right now you’ll just run away as soon as you start losing, so I suggest we leave this place and just chalk this up as a sign of things to come on Dokkrus.”
“I’ll be waiting.” Semra says.
The pair of you linger a few seconds looking at each other before you back away releasing control of your dead Eternals and allowing them to fall to the ground. As you leave the fortress, you half expect a comment from Nicodemus in your head again, but you hear nothing though perhaps he knows you’re planning on leaving because you aren’t attacked by anything on your long trek back to safe territory.
When you arrive at “Home camp” you’re immediately seen to by the Eternal detachment that constantly guard the portals back home.
“Emperor are you all right?” one of the Eternals asks.
“I’m fine. Start telling people to pull out of here, I got what I came for.” You say and return to Evigrus where the aura is a lot livelier and a lot less oppressive.
You have a kind of immortality now. It isn’t perfect, but you believe that it should work for your purposes. Having solved the problem of dying via old age, you decide to set up your next major plan. Invading Dokkrus.
Year 80
“So you’re sure Semra is in this fortress you speak of?” you ask Cassandra.
“Yes Emperor. We’ve seen her going into and out of the place several times now.”
“Good, hopefully we can get her before this time before she runs off again. Let’s try to capture more svelk this time as well, I think I’ll need a bit of a recharge after this is over. The life force of the svelk is so… invigorating.”
“If you say so my Emperor.” Cassandra answers shuffling a bit nervously.
Since you’ve been here on Dokkrus you’ve been killing two harpies with one stone by draining svelk to sustain yourself. They’re a great target for your purposes. They’re your enemy for one, but due to their long life spans they sustain you a lot longer than a shorter lived race like humans for example.
Still even with this advantage, as the years have gone on you’ve noticed a need to drain more svelk with more frequency just to sustain yourself. It is probably this past time that has Cassandra a bit nervous given that she’s an elf herself. It is a bit of a slight concern for yourself as well because you didn’t think this was going to be quite the problem it currently is becoming.
In any event, you’re fine for now and even after you go kill Semra there are more than enough svelk to round up, a whole continent full of them. Maybe you could even do something similar to them like what Casimir did with the gnomes.
Wasting no more time, you order an assault upon the fortress where Semra was last located. The siege goes fairly quickly, Semra must be running out of powerful svelk mages to give you a challenge anymore.
When you get inside the fortress, you attempt to follow your inherent sense of where she might be, eventually you get to her private chambers where you’re beginning to sense her very strongly. Meanwhile a few of your Eternals catch up to you saying that they and the rest have been tearing the place up looking for Semra but say she’s nowhere to be found.
“No…she’s here. I can sense her. In fact she’s so close I can almost touch her. Go search again, I’ll stay here and have a look around.” You say to your Eternals who immediately follow your commands and leave.
Closing the door behind you make your next move.
“Okay Semra, you can show yourself now. Come on now I know you’re here. No need to be shy, it’s just me and you. We won’t be disturbed and it won’t take long.” You say.
At that moment Semra does indeed show herself and she materializes in front of you sitting on her bed.
“I’m guessing you don’t mean sex.” She says.
“Oh no, the only penetration you’re going to feel today is this.” You say and brandish the mithril dagger.
“My gift to you. I’m still surprised you have it.” Semra remarks.
“I made a promise I was going to one day stick this inside you and I aim to keep it.” You say and start approaching her. Semra still makes no attempt at aggression you can’t even detect any such thoughts in her head. In fact from what you can tell from her body language and her mind she’s resigned herself into giving herself up to you.
“I thought you’d put up more of a fight than this.” You remark now in front of her.
“What for? At this point your power has grown to be greater than mine. I can’t beat you. You’ve already destroyed a portion of Dokkrus and made it hard enough for me to ever build up another force to oppose you again. And as you might have been able to tell I’m tired of running. You’ll just hunt me down again and since our minds have been linked its much easier for you now.”
At this point Semra stands up from the bed.
“So kill me now and fulfill all your desires since the day I first tormented you in class. Carry out all the revenge you’ve ever wanted due to my action…I only have one request.”
“Oh?”
“You told me that you’d give me one last kiss as you stuck the knife in. That’s my last wish.”
Same old Semra.
“Very well, as you wish then…Mistress.”
You and Semra look at each for a moment in silence perhaps even wondering if things had been different…just maybe you two would have been an item in some strange way.
Your lips press against Semra’s own and your dagger plunges into her stomach. As she stifles calling out in pain, you begin draining her life force. She manages to put both arms around you at this point.
With the pair of you still embraced in a death kiss and your knife still being twisted inside her, you begin to feel her life force reinvigorating you.
And then you don’t and then you begin to feel the exact opposite…
Semra is starting to drain you! You attempt to pull away, but Semra squeezes on to you tighter and jumps up to wrap her legs around your waist as well.
You don’t know how this is possible, you detected no malicious intent and Semra never had this sort of ability, she didn’t having any necromantic powers.
Or at least she didn’t when you last met her.
“Oh my dear sweet trusting Eternal, there were a few tricks that Nicodemus taught me before I took my own leave of Mortos. I have to admit though neither one of us expected you to listen to me back then. Even with extensively training myself to block you out of my deepest thoughts despite our link, I still didn’t think you’d listen to me having always been mistrustful of me in the past. Funny that the one time that you believed me to be completely truthful is the one time you should’ve trusted your suspicious nature.”
You attempt to slam Semra into a wall and furniture, but it doesn’t get her off of you. You try to twist the dagger deeper inside her, but she bears the pain. You even try to punch her in the head, but by that time your punches aren’t enough to stop her.
Eventually you lose enough energy that you fall to the floor with Semra still on top of you. Feeling very dizzy you see Semra pull the dagger out of her stomach.
“Ah shit, (pant) that’s going to require some healing…glad I just recharged. Still could use a bit more though…shhhhh just let this happen lover.”
You weakly try to get her off of you, but Semra easily pins both of your hands down on the floor. Semra then moves her body downward on to yours. Face to face, you lay helplessly before her.
“Remember this.” She says and kisses you one last time and soon you are utterly drained to a husk and Semra has once again escaped long before anyone arrives to help you.
“Okay.” You reply.
“…Really?” Semra says with a little shock.
“You’ve never lied to me Semra. You’ve always had an ulterior motive, but you’ve never lied. I can’t even sense a hidden motive either and given your genuine concern I have to believe that there must be something to what you’re saying.”
