Dance of the Blade

The High Priestess of Lloth knew the time had finally come. The Elbreath Elixir, she needed to make it to prove her worth once more to her Goddess, so, she gather all that she needed.1

A vial of pure clear crystal, a golden cup with rubies, the very rare blood ruby, and inscents of her choice. The obsidian blade, shaped like a flame of fire, a nice cave spider, with its venom still intake, to bite the willing victim.2

She lights the incense inside the design she drew on the floor, setting them in their proper places. Dimming the lights of the candles, with a wave of her hand, the cave darkens and she drops her robes of black working her body, to a dance, music only she hears.3

Moving to the spider, allowing it to bite her, she picks it up as part of the dance. Placing it in a cage, she wants the venom to move faster to her heart, so she dances faster one would said that she was mad if watching her.4

As the climax of the dance gets closer, she picks up the blade, the venom is now a part of her. Slowing the dance down just a little, she takes the knife to nick her palm, seven drops of her venom fill blood she puts into the cup.5

The cave spider is taken next, its red eyes glowing as she holds it again, adding it to the dance. Holding it over the cup she drains it blood and the life essences, every single drop putting all into her golden cup.6

This cup is then, placed onto an altar, where the blood ruby hands over head. Bringing it all to a boil as she dances under the dark moon before its appex once it thickens, pours it into her crystal vial.7

This recipe for the Elbreath Elixir will only work for her, and her alone. Putting it aside, she must clean the area, the vial must set, for the next thirty days, to inhance whomever she deems worthy of a drop.8

Vampyres and such would pay a fortune for one of her vials just before a war. She keeps a good supply on hand for she is a vampyre herself and hates to think of lowering herself to feed on anything lower than she.9
