The March Haress
StormSwift
Stormy looks from one tunnel entrance to another, trying to see any differences between them. There don't appear to be any. "How am I going to find this diamond?" she wonders aloud. A hoarse chuckle from an indecipherable place makes her jump slightly, then whirl around in a circle. The sound echoes all around her. Stormy unsheathes her katana in a split instant and holds it out in front of her. "Who's there?" she calls to the heated air, looking all around again. There is no reply at first, then a slithering sound and another chuckle. "Did you say you were seeking a diamond? Hmmm...very interesting." The voice is calculatingly nasal, sly and coy all at once. Stormy has never before heard a voice quite like it. "Who are you?" she says. "Me? You can just call me Ember. I'm the spirit of the cave. And who might you be?" Stormy hesitates. She wonders if she should give her name. Well, where could the harm be? She'd be out of there soon enough. "I'm Queen Stormy, of DarkRealm," she replies. "Queen Stormy? Ah, so royalty has finally come to visit me. I've waited centuries. Tell me, Your Majesty, what race are you?" Stormy takes another look around the chamber. She still can't see where Ember is, or where her voice is coming from. "I'm a vampiress right now, but I have a mixed form of vampiress and kitsune," she replies hesitantly. "Vampiress! Oh, how exotic. Yes, that is a great thing to be, especially when seeking things of great value...." "And why is that?" Stormy asks. "The vampiress has the sharpest senses in the dark," comes Ember's simple reply.
Kit looks up, hearing the sound of voice, one of them Stormy's and approaches cautiously, still clutching the orb on her necklace as she double check her illusion and finally settle for training her eyes on the ground to hide the eye she doesn't have the time or energy to waste fixing quite yet. She walked to the entrance of the open part of the cave and leaned against it.
"So...how do I go about finding this...diamond in the rough?" Stormy asks slowly. She doesn't put her katana away. "Your mind is your most valuable tool at this point," Ember replies. "My...mind? But that doesn't make any sense." "It will, if you think carefully," Ember says. Stormy frowns slightly. She begins to think about everything.
