This is a game of thrones, if you do not play to win then often you will lose your position and become inferior to someone else. That was lesson one from Nethis’s father, she had learned the game at a young age, so there isn’t much that can surprise the, now, older politician. Nethis will always play to win and she will rarely play fair, though it isn’t her fault that she is cunning and intelligent… It is a war for survival, Thanasi House will see the light of day if Nethis is still living, but the next generation will be more than prepared. Everything Nethis is doing and will do is for the security of the next generation, therefore the lives that are taken will be replaced by the lives of her blood. Strategy is everything and it takes patience to get everything that you want, therefore Nethis is playing the long game. It is hard to defeat someone who is several plays ahead, and it's even harder when you do not know their motives. Nethis is very specific on who she discloses information to and she is very careful in not to give too much, because the only person who should be on the same page as Nethis is herself.

People die, it is apart of the natural sequence and it is also the inevitable. Even Nethis will one day fall and plunder to the Underworld, but that day isn’t anywhere near. At this current matter, Nethis has been playing the hand of Thanatos, the god of death. The Lady of Thanasi House has the reputation of being a witch in most Kingdoms, especially within Midas the people know her as the elder witch. The Thanasi sisters all are rumored as being witches, whether it’s true or not, Nethis doesn’t make any qualms to deny or to affirm. The reason why Nethis has been scrutinized as a witch is because of her mysterious atmosphere, and there is a trail of bodies that appear every time a Thanasi appears. The reasons why people die by the hands of Thanasi is because they have something that they need or has done something that was worth the penalty of death. Nethis will not hesitate to kill someone, mercy was not something ingrained into her like it was in her other sisters, because the elder sibling will poison a man or woman without blinking. No one is safe.

Nethis was cloaked in black chiton that covered her body from head to toe as she walked in the dead of the night. Tonight’s meeting had plans to deal with a certain issue that has been nagging Nethis for a while… House Kotas has always been a pain in Nethis’s side and she would consider them enemies, but she cherishes the marriage between Thanasi and Kotas because she could keep a close eye on her enemies. Evras has had a child by the Prince Zanon of Kotas, thank the gods that it happened, but the likelihood that Vangelis of Kotas and his woman, Selene of Leventi to become pregnant was too close of a possibility. Nethis wants her nephew to have the highest position in power as possible, and for that to happen someone must have to sacrifice pregnancies. Nethis doesn’t want to kill any relative of the Leventi House, because of her ties with Lord Fotios of Leventi… The two are powerful minds and severing ties with him would not be something Nethis would be happy about. Although, Selene of Leventi must die. For her family to further encroach House Kotas, Vangelis can never have his heir.

Nethis appeared upon a corner as she awaited the presence of her connect. Once the woman appeared, a smile appeared upon Nethis as she allowed the woman approached her. Nethis spoke softly and quickly to limit contact with the woman, “Give the vial to Liandrene. Say it is from Alexandria.” One of the many aliases Nethis will use when she is working with underground people, rarely does she ever show her face. Nethis is never going to make it easy for anyone to trace anything back to her, at least now that she has the practice. The woman nodded as she slipped the vial into her sleeve, before the two women parted ways. Nethis was smiling as she knew the effects of the poison as she could hardly wait to see it in play. There has been only one time that she has ever used that same poison, though it was so long ago she is sure people hardly remember. But the death was tragic, horrifying to watch.

Receiving an invitation to the celebration of the new King and Queen, Nethis made a strong appearance as she wore a simple white chiton that was adorned with gold. She wore a golden girdle across her waist that showed her small frame, and her shoulders were bare as the chiton hung on them. Nethis wore her long black hair in an elaborate bun, before making her way inside she was already meeting the eyes of people that simply were not pleased of her presence. Does not matter, Nethis has come for a single reason and one reason only. Someone was going to die that night and she was going to be there to see it through.
