Later that day...

Nosdyn made his way to the Temple of Lloth to commune with the priesthood.

Something troubles me...I am unsure what this is...

His priestess, Leadra was in her office as usual. "My Lady." Nosdyn greeted her.

She noticed the troubled expression on her lord's face. "What ails you my lord? Ye are not your usual flirty self."

He nodded. "I am unsure of it. But of late I am seeing troubling dreams and visions. I am unsure of how to tell dreams from reality." He paused a moment. "I am at a loss on how to deal with this situation. As a soldier if something needs to bleed I can cut it. But this is a malady of the soul." He said plainly. He looked off to the left for a moment. In deep thought.

The priestess personal chamber had an incense scent in the air one of the Dark Elves favored scents. Nosdyn did not know the name of it but it was always a scent he rather liked. The chamber was dimly lit as the Dark Elves could see exceedingly well and did not like bright lights. A few simple candles lit the room flickering in the darkness. The shadows danced across Nosdyn's face.

"Son of Krotar House." His priestess began..."The malady you describe is something the Humes often call a mental imbalance. However I believe something else is happening to you." She walked right up to him kissed him softly and searched his packs. "This relic you are in contact with." She looked at the device Kalestiya put him in charged of. "I believe it may be the key." She placed the object back in his packs. "Take good care of the relic my lord."

He nodded. "Blood is the key..." He said suddenly.

Then her eyes went wide. "By the Thayne..." She looked at him. "My lord do you know if this thing is an Eldritch Relic?"

His eyes narrowed a moment. "I was told it might be one." He looked at her very carefully. "Do you think the Device has caused my situation?"

She rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Too early to tell. But I will do some research. But please my lord the Ancients stated the Eldricht Devices are very dangerous."

"Blood is the key." He said again softly. "I'll be very careful here." He looked at her and kissed her deeply. "Something I discovered is the device consumes a lot of blood." He said.

"Fascinating..." She remarked. "You survived the power of an Eldricht Device. You're curiously strong Nosdyn son of Krotar."

He grinned. "It is how I can protect the people that I love. By my blade this I swear." And they kissed deeply and consumed one another for hours...
