Looking for...... « Thread Started on May 16, 2005, 11:31am »
Leannan made her way down the hall from the entrance and opened one of the doors which led her to this room. Her eyes opened wide as the room was filled with many images of her-not being all that familiar with Mirrors she slowly drew her sword and gasped as all the images did the same thing.......she turned to run back out the door and to her surprise the door seemed to hav closed on her and she could not open it from this side-the only way out seems to be to find the door to another room. She grasped her sword tightly and very carefully and slowly made her way through the room shyly looking around to try to learn what she could of this place where she was and what magic caused all these images of her to surround her.

Leannan continued cautiously through the room unsure of what magic it possessed. She held her sword up in front of her, nervous but prepared to attack anything that might come at her-although her skills were truly untested. The sword she carried was a family heirloom given to the oldest daughter of the seventh child in the family. She was sent out to learn what she could about using the family's heritage. Her eyes grew wide as the passageway seemed to grow ever longer with no sign of a door anywhere-was she then to be trapped here forever-with no one to ever know she was here?

Leannan stood holding her sword upright in front of her with both hands as she slowly stepped through the room. The magic here was too strong for her to understand so she would try to be ready if anyone of anything tried to attack her. Every so often she turned and looked behind her to make sure she was not being followed and caught unawares. Her shoulders were now beginning to ache from holding the sword upright and so tightly....but better sore shoulders and alive-then the other option.

And as the girl wandered amid her reflections, the room, at severe risk of being overdramatic, wrenched.
There was light of all colors, in front of her, assuming that the hall wasn't presenting her an illusion of where the event was actually occuring, and yet there was no light at all. There was a torrent of noise, deafaning in decibles that weren't there. Shapes swarmed through one another, assuming all possible forms and nothing at all, all at once.
And then it was over. Gasping on her knees in the middle of the room, was another woman. Her hair was short and brown, her skin lightly tanned, and her clothing, though appearing to have been some form of fine robe at one time, was worn, torn, and blood stained.
She wretched, though her stomache was empty, leaning forward on to all fours in the act, and then stared at the floor, running her hand across it. Her hand found the edge of a mirror and followed it up to her own reflection, where her green eyes stared back. She felt her own face, smiling suddenly, and began to pat herself down quickly, beginning to laugh. Real sound slowly flooded the room as her head tilted backward, letting out her mirth in a sound akin to most mad men.

Leannan jumped at the sudden burst of light and colour and spun around her sword held out in front of her as if to halve anything or anyone that came close to her. As the light and colours faded she saw the woman...and against all her training-sparse that it was-she dropped the sword and ran to the woman's side to see if she could help and as the woman slowly stood and let loose with her mad cackle Leannan knew that she was most likely never going to make it out alive.....but she took a deep breath and spoke gently" milady-how come you here and how didst your garb become so bloodied?"

"How did I come here?" She gave a long, hacking cough. "Determination and the will to try." She grinned as she spoke, her head tilted sideways. She took a half step forward and staggered, "As for the blood, it seems the trip was none too kind." Slowly raising a hand, she finger combed her hair from her face, leaving streaks of red running from her scalp, back. "A bit repetative here... " her voice trailed off as she looked about at all the mirrors. "Where exactly is 'here'?"
Leannan looked nervously at the newcomer and trembled slightly but she lowered her sword since the woman looked in no condition to truly be a threat.
"I am not sure exactly where we are. I had been wandering through the halls and opened a door. After I stepped in the door seemed to shut itself and lock me in here....and I have no idea how to find my way out......I am Leannan milady and perhaps together we can find a way out or at least learn exactly where we are"
"You may call me Ernassin." she replied after a moment. tracing her fingers along the mirrors once more. "It seems... not too diferent." She flattened her palm against the mirror. "Perhaps it will be difficult to find our way through this maze as is, so I suggest we try another method."
Her arm quickly doubled in size, a pattern of scales forming along it's length, and fingers extending into claws. at least for a moment. The glass shattered against the growing pressure placed against it, but the force did not last long. Her arm shrank back to its orginal size, and Ernassin toppled over backwards, gasping in pain.

She gasped as she watched her companion's body change-just who was she imprisoned with-was this to be how she died-attacked by a creature in a secret locked room? Leannan slowly backed away and looked around trying to find a door growing more afraid than she was earlier. As she moved to the far side of the room she heard Ernassin's gasp and looked at her sensing her pain-unable to walk away she moved back and knelt next to the injured woman.

"Shaped..." She managed to gasp out. "This horrible world... flexible, but elsatic."
"Shaped." She spat the syllable from her mouth once again as though it were the most fowl curse she knew, as she cradled her limb against her chest. It looked human enough now, insofar as color and design, but it bent at an odd angle in her fore arm where two bones were supposedly supposed to keep it straight.
She sat there for a while, muttering what one could only surmise to be very forceful curse words due to the venom she uttered them with before finally taking a deep breath and looking up to Leannan. "This world has presented me with enough surprises these few minuets I've been here, but my logic still seems sound, assuming I am right in thinking the rest of the room is similarly fragile. Is it? I am not willing to test my luck once again today."

Leannan looked nervously at Ernassin. She had never met someone quite like her before and was not sure what to make of all this. She took a deep breath and looked at the rows of mirrors.
"Lady Ernassin I had not explored very far into the room when you appeared quite suddenly. I truly have no idea what we may find-I had been taken aback to see many images of myself that I had not been too sure of how to proceed. I do believe that all the hangings of whatever they are would be the same....but then I have never seen anyone quite like you that can alter parts of their body at will either. I am not sure I am the one with any answers here but I agree we need to work together to find our way out of here."
