Broken

Chapter 6 Final

No one talked for the longest time. Not until they reached the gate of the elven lands, which was more like a bunch of Elves pointing arrows at them. Explaining their situation, the elves where skeptic about it, took all their weapons, but let them into their city. The finest elven priests worked hard and long. The travelers hadn’t seen their companion in days.

One of the priests came out exhausted and sat down to talk with them for a while. “We are sorry, it will take a little longer to get him to want to stay here, in this realm. Not to just fade away. Trying out best he has a worry. About a man named Wulfgar.”

“He’ll never have to worry about him again.” Bruner said. It was a threat to the man that wasn’t there.

The elf looked at him confused. “Is that the man that?”

Cattie-brie nodded.

“We need to get him here immediately then.” the elf stated.

“What?!” all of them yelled, then Regis continued, “After what he did to Drizzt, what you see he’s done?!”

Sighing the elf regretted having to explain this all. “He is worried because of the fact that he was chased away. He kept ranting on how Llothe had caused pain for him and extreme hurt for a man named Wulfgar. How the man hadn’t done it, it hadn’t been his mind controlling the body. We need to see if Llothe has left traces of herself on him. To see if he really was controlled by the damned goddess as Drizzt says he was.”

The travelers looked astonished.

------------------------

Wulfgar walked in on the three drow priestesses. None of them looked surprised.

“What does the big bad human want?” The three said staring at him. “your hated by your friends and damned by Drizzt. What do you think you can get from us?”

He reached out a hand suddenly and gripped it around her throat. She was choking and the other two did nothing. It was the eldest after all, and if she died, they could easily handle the barbarian. She had been careless, and it was her own fault for getting caught. She fell to the ground dead from lack of oxygen. The snake headed whips soon came out though and all of the heads sunk into Wulfgar. He fell to the ground paralyzed, the voice in his head screaming so loud he couldn’t think anymore.

“lets just leave him. He’ll probably kill himself sooner or later. After all, it will end his suffering.” They laughed as they left.

Laying there, he was forced to think about what they said, it being repeated over and over again within his head. Finally the voice just took over.

“It might take power to control you, but since you aren’t doing anything, I might as well.” the spider that possessed him said. Walking to the Elven town he did as they all answered, and entered peacefully. He was ‘just passing through’ as he stated. Walking up the stairs, he managed to get to the med wing with only a few people asking him questions. Getting into the room where Drizzt was being treated, he wasn’t surprised when no one was there guarding the elf. They would have thought he was safe in here. Just fine, sleeping peacefully. No longer was he shivering.

His eyes opened and he looked at the barbarian. “So they found you…. Did they get that thing out of you?” he asked. The man just nodded smiling as he went over to the bed and put drizzt in a bear hug.

“I’m so sorry…” the spider inside him hid all of what he was like when he was under it’s spell.

“It wasn’t your fault… and… well I--” Wulfgar grabbed him and pulled him over so that he was facing the washing basin, then pushed his face into it.

“Not for that. For not killing you in the first place. I had too much doubt in your friends… Goodbye.”

Drizzt’s body stopped struggling finally. The spider let him drop to the ground, his hair soaking, water drizzling out his mouth. Then the body of Wulfgar collapsed, and a spider, drizzled out his mouth, just like the water had Drizzt’s. They would find no trace of the posesion, and Wulfgar would be hung for the murder and rape, of Drizzt Do’Urden.
