Ravel POV-
Becoming an elf brought along many issues. Luckily, only me and Wetho were converted. I can't make any public appearances without covering up. I could try to find an illusionist but, some would be able to see through that sort of thing.... I know the old shits in the noble families would make a huge fuss if they saw me. Luckily everyone's attention is placed on the religious temples that were attacked. A lot of attention is placed on the Union at the moment as well.... The Union.....
Gin Cinders. Quite an odd man. I was hoping he would take up my offer so I could learn more while having a little fun but, it seems that he may have been a bit intimidated.... I guess.... I am 'technically' a 'married' woman. That king is useless scum though. Noble families always give their most useless 'heir' to us royalty. Trying to make our later generations less outstanding.
..... Now that I think of it..... I don't need that king anymore do I? Elves have much longer lifespans then drow. From three hundred years to fifteen hundred. I'll dispose of him secretly. No one will really care or notice. I've already killed a few other 'kings' that pissed me off before anyways.

I tap my desk in annoyance. I should find a way to deal with those nobles. I have a sizable amount of loyalists among them but, a force has been growing these past few years. I'm sure that they had connections to those snake worshippers as well. I might need Drun and Madam Farblight's help on this. Drun is good for hunting down trash while Farblight should have a lot of information about this group. We can use this upcoming war to eliminate their fighters as Wetho and a few others as dig their roots out.

Wetho comes in with our 'special' tea, making a slightly lewd face. Her new appearence makes me blank out for a few seconds. BEAUTIFUL! I really owe Gin for this. Lust along with a plethora of new feelings rush into me. I calm myself down as we really do need to discuss some important things.
Wetho takes a seat next to me and starts groping my chest as it's quite natural for her. I feel a heat build up.... Calm down Ravel! Calm!
"So, the preparations are going pretty well. We will be ready to invade the Union in 5 days. From what the scrying pools can see the Fallen Dwarves are only a few days behind. what should we focus on plundering this time?" Wetho
"Ahhhh~! We should go for riches this time instead of slaves~. A couple mines were discovered in the Union's land a couple years back. A firegem mine along with an obsidian deposit are among the most valuable if I remember correctly. Gin does seem to frown at slavery as well. Quite odd as humans are extremely famous for enslaving other races. Their fame even reached all the way down here..... Now that I think of it doesn't he have slaves as well?" Ravel
"We can probably aim our forces along with the religious factions on plundering riches but, the nobles will capture slaves no matter how we try to push them. More than that, I'm worried about those pyre bastards. They will probably be after the same things. That saint will probably have obstructions with that artifact as well...." Wetho
"Speaking of which, are you ok that I tried inviting him in on our 'activities'?" Ravel
She stops kneading my chest as she ponders for a second. She eventually responds with this.
"???? I'm fine with that. We can't have children between the two of us and he is much better than that disgusting King. He acts nice on the outside but in reality he is the type to force married women into his bed. Luckily he stopped trying to mess with us after I had a 'talk' with him." Wetho
.... Royalty are required to produce children. I'm still young and have a few siblings that are still alive so I haven't felt that pressure yet. Wetho is strong and can fight any pressure that her family puts on her about having children but, I'm not. This is part of the reason we wanted to go along with the conversion as well as why we want to convert all of our species in this pocket. At that point Gin would become a supreme ruler and I can escape this pressure that my family will force onto me just by asking him.
Wetho did volunteer to help against the pressure but, that wouldn't work..... So this situation is a real blessing. Perhaps after it's all over we can join Inival as assistants to him. It would be a lot less stressful, more free, and more satisfying than this job.....
It's decided. For that saint we will bring this country under his control and then retire. I want to be as selfish and carefree as possible and that nest would be the best place. A place were I can be 'myself'~.
"Ahhhh~!" Ravel
Wetho picks me up and we go to the mushy couch at the corner~. Lets have some fun~!
Gin POV-
For some reason I feel like a lot of troublesome things are going to happen. Vulki is a prophet right? Why does she never tell me about anything troublesome that'll happen. She has only used it to tell me when someone is coming. I know that ability can't be activated purposely but, still.....
Apparently Ravel and Wetho came by to tell us that they will be ready to invade in a few days and wanted to ask us for a few things. First off, they needed to borrow Farblight and Drun who were free so that's fine. Next they wanted to have a huge number of spiderlings delivered to the border. Most of the spiderlings are spread throughout the theocracy. Most of the drow know about these 'docile' spider monsters that are being used by the religious factions as labour. I borrow a good number to them.
Why? Well because I plan on joining them. I realise that I may be endangering myself but, I need to grow stronger. Leveling can increase power. However, that doesn't mean that I will do well in a fight. I learned from my spars and practice with Inival and Drun that I am still weak and need plenty of protection. So, I plan on staying safe by bringing Inival, Set, Xelu and Nemesis along with a massive horde, leaving the other broodmothers to defend the nest. Inival and Set will act as personal bodyguards while Xelu and Nemesis(mainly Nemesis) will direct the flow of forces to keep danger away from us.

What we didn't know, was that almost everyone underestimated the Union.
