Training in a forest cave

The Matron mother smiles and says " why don't you show your new sisters how to gather food because they need some lessons at it." She thinks to her self soon as Morwen passes the ritual it will make her pretty much a slave who will fearlessly attack anything I choose" not realizing her words echoed to Arasinya back at Xerxans camp.

Arasinya soon overheard the matron mother's words as she thought, "Morwen? She's with the matron mother? Hmph, as if she has anything better to do to try and take over. Xerxan already considers his family dead and they should let him go. With someone like Morwen, what can go wrong?" But then she thinks, "Still, she must be stopped."

The sisters lead Morwen out suspecting their mother's plan for Morwen to advance their plans so they just plan to play along heading out to have you show them how to get food a lot better. The Matron mother places crystal down then channels magic to watch her son waiting till he is asleep then sending visions of his very early brutal defeats with a haunting voice you will never be better than this. Xerxan passes the watch to the guard then lays down only to thrash around from the visions being filtered into his mind.

Morwen would lead the two sisters out to show them how to get food. Scavenging was quite a hobby for her so it shouldn't be hard to find something edible.

Arasinya would then hear Xerxan thrashing in her dreams and tried to speak into his mind, "Xerxan, don't listen to that voice! You CAN do this!"

The dreams keep assaulting as your words aren't reaching him as his foot accidently kicks a rock in in his thrashing in Arasinya's direction maybe hitting her to possibly startling her awake. The sisters follow Morwen gathering more than enough food to last them a while before needing to go out to get more as they still look at there now sister wondering when their mother will pull their little surprise.

Arasinya would physically look to Xerxan and see how he is doing. She saw him thrashing about in his nightmare and kick a rock aiming at her direction. She would grab it with one hand before tossing it out and coming over to him quickly to wake him up. "Xerxan? Xerxan!"

Meanwhile, Morwen got back to the cave with her new sisters and food in their arms. She laid her share down on a rock before stretching out and saying, "See, that wasn't so hard, was it?"

He walks up breathing hard and sweating from the visions his mother has been projecting into his mind to weaken him. The matron mother says it is hard when it is their first time getting food after having servants doing it for them.

Arasinya wiped the sweat from Xerxan's brow as she asked, "Are you alright? What happened?"

Morwen smirked and replied, "I've held a few false identities in the past so my expertise can grow in such situations."

"The nightmares returned once again I have to find a way to get to my mother and kill her soon before these dreams kill me." He will whisper to Arasinya " If my mother somehow takes control of my mind to force me to kill for her take me out before I have a chance to do it." The sisters give Morwen the look that promises her a lot of pain in the coming weeks during the sparing session. The Matron mother asks Morwen " are there any of your followers worth turning into an elite guard that my family was known for before the trip to the abyss?"

Arasinya was taken back over Xerxan planning to kill his mother as soon as possible. But she was more worried about taking him out. "Why? Xerxan, you're our friend. We don't want to see you get hurt."

Morwen however wasn't intimidated for she was ready to handle anything that comes her way. She then heard the matron mother's question and thought out loud, "Hmm...well, I believe I do. Plenty of candidates for such a high position of defense. And perhaps one can be your "son.""
