That last line was great. Reminded me of HK-47 almost, except Xullrae has more depth to her behind all of the violence.

(Hiding- a lovely word you can do so much when hiding!!!) i loved it it shows how she strangles to become what people want her to be!!! but she still has her urges to kill coz thats wat she does and she cant get over it!!! relly good!!! well done
Yeah hiding is an awesome skill! I wanted to show depth of character and that Xull'rae really isn't that complicated to understand. I'm glad it's coming across to readers that she has a wide range of emotions, it's that her primal reactions right now are the strongest.
I thought you might appreciate the dynamic of "two stories at once", however it is this double storytelling that made this story so long and difficult that I wasn't sure if anyone would read it because it might be confusing to follow.
Sometimes I do get tired of certain readers saying she is too complex or hard to understand so I thought this story might open her mind set a little more.
Thank you very much for your fav and support.
So I guess I'll post a longer piece next time and see if I'm right.
Knowing how drow are chaotic, I think your inner drow may be smiling now with how you think about this story. It's an intriguing point of view, and both were parts so far were good to read.
A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
I really appreciate the fav, this story has me on edge but favs boost my confidence!
