Open Looks are Deceiving

[Erosynielissave]

513 AV 6th of Fall

Save` sat up slowly. She was lying in the softest grass next to a crystal clear pond. She gazed around unsure of where she was and how she got there. a warm breeze kissed her skin and she realized she was wearing a long sun dress that showed off her curves just enough but flowed in the gentle summer like breeze...but...wasn't it fall already? This didn't make sense. It was peaceful here. Animals running around playing and eating. The sunlight providing enough warmth. It was so perfect. The pond looked inviting so she quickly slid out of her dress and took a dip. The water was just the right temperature. By the divines, where ever she was, Save` didn't want to leave anytime soon.

She heard a rustle in some bushes but ignored it. A few minutes later she heard laughter. It was innocent. Almost like a childs. She waited a few seconds but saw no one else. She didn't feel the need to worry. Somehow she knew, she was safe here. It was lovely how vibrant the many flowers were and how full of life the animals were.

Sayren blinked as she glanced about her surroundings. Small grass plains? It was like those back in Cyphrus. Her home of Endrykas. But how could she be here though? She was in Nyka. Least she thought she was. Her ears perked up as she heard some odd noise. Like water rippling in a pond. Least she could get a drink from it.

She approached the pond to see a woman dipping in the pond nude. Sayren's eyes widen as she hid beneath the brush. She didn't realize that there was someone here. And she couldn't help but let a giggle slip pass her lips. Given all she had learned, she was still only seventeen years of age. Her eyes peeked over the brush as she asked the woman, "Um...could I...join? The water looks nice..."

[Erosynielissave]

Save nodded. The water was quite nice and it would be very uncivil if she were to refuse. There was nothing to fear in this place of perfection. And the company would be welcome.

The girl was gorgeous. Save` gave her that much. But who was she and why was she in her dream?

[Xeona]

Where am I?

A forest of some kind? The last thing Xeona could remember was falling asleep in his bed after some training. Pretty unusual for a ghost to fall asleep, but he was exhausted.

What am I doing here?

There were trees all around him, no visible way out. It was sunny, but Xeona was too stressed up to notice.

This is just a dream. A dream with no end in sight.

Now Xeona was really creeped out. First the woods and his own thoughts, then the woods and someone else's voice. Where was it coming from? He couldn't think clear enough to actually decide a position of origin for the voice.

It will soon end. Everything will soon end.

What would end? He was hoping for this dream to end, but would this nightmare let go of him that easily? We wanted to just get out, out from the woods, out from this dream, but his body wouldn't obey him. He just stood there, frozen in place while these voices continued to haunt his mind.

Go.

As soon as he heard that one word, he felt that his body responded to him again. He took off towards the part of the woods that had the fewest trees.

Prepare formore...

Wherever the sound was coming from, he was heading away from it. He could barely hear the voice's last words, but they still haunted him. More of what? These dreams? The voice?

Xeona just passed through all the trees in his way, eventually reaching a grass field with a pond with someone in it. He screamed in reflex, thinking that the person in the pond was the owner of the voice he heard earlier. First now he noticed that he had materialized. "Wh-wha-what? I know I wasn't materialized earlier...

"Please, make it stop... I beg you... His voice had a pledging tone. He just wanted all this madness to end...

OOCSorry for the dark entry, I'm not really sure what I was typing, and I don't want to rewrite the entire post...

Save noticed the ghost. He looked upset. She slowly got out of the pond, not bothering to cover herself.

"Hey, you're safe here." Save` smiled warmly to help convey her message of peace. She heard a slash and a giggle as the other woman jumped into the pond. "Join us!"

As Save` turned around to return to the pond, she noticed a large table covered in food that smelled divine. Her stomach growled as she ran to eat.By the gods this was amazing. This place was just too perfect.

[Sayren WindDancer]

Without realizing the presence of the ghost, Sayren jumped into the water. Trying to get the nervous dhani to come back into the water. It was a nice feeling. How the water was a cool with a gentle warming sensation that caressed her curves.

She gave a few playful splashes and that's when she realized the presence of the man. He seemed rather pale and maybe sickened with grief and sorrow. Why? In such a place that was covered in beauty and grace? She gave a playful laugh and asked for him to join them. Within moments, she realized she was also hungry. She noticed that dhani had gasped in surprise, at what?

Sayren turned to her head to see a table draped in foods aplenty. Her eyes widen as she chewed on her lip. The table was prepared for a feast. Topped with many different courses of food. Tiny appetizers here. Massive cooked birds here. And then mouth watering deserts and sweets.

She couldn't help but move beside the unclothed dhani while approaching the table. The water slowly dripping down her body in tiny clomps before strolling down her bare body before finally colliding with the ground. "Where did the table of food come from?" She asked to the dhani.

[Erosynielissave]

Save` shrugged unsure of what was going on. Everything was just too perfect. Something felt a bit off. The sun was setting and a mysterious red fog tumbled and rolled in. There was no light. No moon. No stars. Just the eerie glow from the red fog.

....Run....

"Run! We have to get out of here!" Save` yelled as she sprinted away from the mist and tried to climb a tree. They weren't safe. Where in the world were they? Where should they go?

NPC Speech

"Ero's Speech!"

[Xeona]

The women were right. They seemed to have a great time, and the voice was nowhere to be heard. He still couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching him, though. No matter how hard he tried, it always felt like someone, somewhere, was watching everything he said or did.

Have you missed me?

"Did you ever leave?"

No. I've prepared a little surprise for you three. Just stay there.

This could only mean bad news. Turning towards the forest and considering just simply going back in there, confronting whoever was speaking to him. His thoughts were interrupted when the Dhani woman yelled at them to run. Turning around, all he could see was the mysterious red fog.

Surprise.

They had to leave. They all knew it. But Xeona couldn't move. Had the voice been doing this? He could only watch as the fog got closer and closet. Fear grew stronger. What would happen to him if it caught him? Would it stop chasing the women? It was very close now, and the fear just became stronger. He closed his eyes, hoping he would be spared somehow.

And then, his fear eased. In fact, he couldn't feel anything. He made an attempt to open his eyes, and was met with a reflection of himself. He still couldn't feel anything, but his little reflection seemed to be able to. He laughed at Xeona, before going away in the distance. He seemed to practise something while walking, was it trying to mimic his actions? Xeona tried to yell towards his reflection, but couldn't say a single word.

The reflection laughed once again, and then disappeared. Had he exited this place? It was probably going to lure down those women here as well... And he couldn't do anything to stop it...
