Once again Riot heads off to the shrine to see if there would be answers to questions and to find out what she was searching for. Once getting closer to the statues she sees that one is empty and reads what is on the plaque.
Then Riot sees the goddess busying doing something that she wondered to what the goddess was doing. But as she watched Riot is handed a bag and takes it. Carefully listening to what was said to her a little hesitant at first but Riot does open it up like the goddess wanted.
Once open there was nothing to be found inside and that just made Riot more curious to know what there had been in there or not. Looking at the goddess and carefully listens to what she is saying as to not miss anything at all. Ok she needs to get a heart from the goddess's labs in a chest. That didn't sound too hard to Riot but she did have to wonder to why those she was getting the heart from didn't make it.
Taking the scissors that were given to her as Riot keeps on repeating the instructions that were given to her and she also didn't want to disappoint the goddess on not bring back a heart.
Taking a deep breath as Riot walked up to the box to see that it was a small opening and dark. She also could hear thunks as Riot stepped inside.
Three door greet Riot once she had gotten all the way in. Taking her time as this might be a test or something and she just wanted to get it right. The second door was chosen.

Tori
TORI
Wondering just wondering to who the person was that someone was called out when Riot then was seeing pictures of a life that seamed nostalgic of happy times long past. But the monument that Riot had walked threw the images were gone. But she could still see the images that had been there before walking thought them but Riot could still somewhat see them shadowed and still bodies but still looking at Riot. It was just a little creepy she thought.
Just then the door closes leaving Riot in the dark and she tests the door to see if she could get back out that way. Nope it was closed tight, taking another deep breath as she had to continue onward not to fail the goddess in bring back a heart.
Riot rumbled in the dark to find her way but she keep on moving forward since there no way back the way she came. Keeping her arms forward just incase of finding something as the goddess had said the heart was in a crate and even Riot didn't even realize that the hallway was moving as she moved, but she kept a good grip on those scissors as it would be bad to lose them after all.
Unexpectedly with a thud Riot runs right into what she is looking for as the thud sound echos along with a thumping sound. Reach out she feels that its a large crate.
Thud.
Moving around as Riot feels around to try and continue on.
Thud.
Feeling on top of the crate is an opening and Riot could just see some thing sticking out of it. Its unusual shape that doesn't fit into the crate at all.
Thud.
Suddenly Riot grabs onto it questioning herself to why she was doing this. It felt like ragged fabric that was also empty as it slides thought her fingers with another thud sound.
Looking closer she could see that there was something wedged inside the box, almost perfectly. Getting closer Riot could see the edges of something glowing a steady yellow color and hearing a thump-thump the closer she gets. Then it comes to her that this is the heart that she was looking for as it continues to thump-thump.
Carefully Riot uses the scissors that the goddess had given her as she carefully cuts the first layer of the ragged fabric away that had been covering the heart. While cutting softly Riot could hear the name Iris and this happened several times as with each snip Riot hear that name. But with more cutting along with hearing that name she could see a young child maybe around the age of 5. Another cut, 'Iris, I'm coming,' the child with redish brown hair to what Riot saw with the last cut of the fabric.
Carefully removing the cut fabric to see that there was also strings attached to the heart too. Riot still was careful to cut away the strings since they were tied in a complicated patterns, but with the first snip of the string....
A child with short black hair and amber eyes walks into the kitchen as she had been told it was a place that was never to go as that was a place for the help. Tori didn't care she wanted to know wanted to see what happened in there just not told. Wandering further in none of the help stopped her since they were working and didn't want to get in trouble with this child's mother. It wasn't long that Tori started to hear another child laughing and she went towards the sound.
To her astonishment the black haired child had found another child around the same age playing at a table that was child sized. Going up to the table and looking at the other child that had her hair up in pigtails that was redish brown. Smiling when the other child had spotted Tori, light gray eyes locked with amber eyes.
"Hi, I'm Iris!"
"Hi, I'm Vitoria,"
"Well I like Tori better, why don't you come and play with me,"
"Ummm, ok but what it play? All I really know what to do is read,"
Iris giggles a little. "I will show you as its a lot more fun then reading,"
"Ok,"
With that last string cut the memory stops with Riot just wondering to what just happened. But she carefully reaches down and carefully picks up the heart and lifting it out it stops pulsing and carefully it when into the sack. She did have to wonder was that something of hers she had been seeing and hearing but it was somewhat familiar but not at the same time. Just another question that was added to the list of questions that she did want to find answers for.

Now with the heart that the goddess wanted, Riot continues to walk onward, but with each step she could feel the floor become less solid and sorta slippery. It was also sticky too and once more Riot came to a dead end. But she also heard a sloshing sound behind her along with footsteps. As that was strange as Riot thought she was the only one in here and she turns around to find nothing behind her at all.
Finding a different way she continues to walk on as Riot could feel water and the more she walked on the deeper it got and it was cold too. This time around those sloshing noises were louder and this time hearing.
"Please give it back."
Turning around once again to find that there was no one behind her at all.
Riot walks on to find the water getting so deep that it was now at her neck and she thinks that she might have to turn back to find another way and just as she was turning she heard.
"Please give me back my-"
And without any warning there were two hands around her pushing Riot down into the water. She struggles with those hands but she couldn't resist at all and she also couldn't breath. Pain all around as Riot could feel herself being pushed farther down and more down until she felt that she would be come nothing at all. With effort Riot looks into those deep, deep gray eyes that were so glassy and showing off there sunken teeth, Riot could hear one last time.
"Give me back my heart."
She remembered, she remembered her only true best friend in the world Iris.
"No you can't take Iris away we promised that we would be friends forever, Mother," Tori cried as a bodyguard hold her down as her mother glares at her. "Victoria, that child has taught you so many bad things that I didn't want you to learn as proper girls don't play they read and write. They don't go pranking the other servants or play in the mud. No that girl will have to go and for you to learn your proper place that we do not play or be friendly with the help," Tori's mother said. "No I want to have fun and I don't want to lose my only friend," Tori said, but it was all too late.
"Don't forget about me, Tori as I won't forget about you as you are my best friend," Iris screamed out as she was taken away by her own mother. "I also won't forget about you Iris," Tori called back crying as she didn't want any of this to happen at all since Tori just wanted a friend to talk with.

It was getting harder and harder to breath as she struggled on as one of them would have to give way as it was her or them. But her thoughts keep on thinking about the goddesses and for the blessings as she didn't want to fail them at all. Then Riot thought that if that she could one day become a goddess that she would come back for friend. Nodding as that was the only way to think as she wanted to survive and to not become a failure.
Seeing an opening as the both of them struggled, thinking to those scissors that she still had in her hand as it was the only weapon Riot had. With all the might that she had left Riot plunges those scissor into an opening as she kept telling herself that it was the right thing to do and the only way of doing it too.
Iris shrieks and then disappears.
Then there is no more water at all, Riot coughs up the rest of the water from her lungs the dark and wretched substance. Light started to come in from an open door to which Riot starts to walk towards to exit the room. But just before leaving she looks behind her and to what she thought in seeing that Iris staring at her with those hollow eyes balefully clutching the scissor in one of her. Turning around Riot exits not knowing if what she had seen had been there at all. But she had gained something more than just the heart too memories.

Task 2
Hearing a voice ask to what her nature was, Riot did have to wonder but was all but glad to be doing a task for the goddesses.
Riot was puzzled by what this goddess first told her as to what was she escaping from? Was it something that she was searching for? Keeping still as her hands fiddled around her neck as there should have been something there but not and Riot didn't know why but did it anyways when nervous and this goddess was doing just that.
Jumping slightly as the goddess got down and started to circle her to which just make her more nervous. But she did take the small jeweled dagger from the goddess.
Ah then things make a little more sence that she would have to prove herself more but she was going to at least try and do the task at hand while keeping a hold on the dagger. Riot just nods her head that she is ready. She walked towards the thin opening but still really nervous since Riot could still feel the goddess gazing at her after leaving.
Rubbing her eyes as she couldn't remember when she had fallen asleep at all. Carefully sitting up as and rubbing her eyes as it was way too bright. There was also a ringing sound that was slightly painful that she wished would go away as she got up off the metal table. Shading her eyes as it was still to bright with all the white.
Taking a few wobbly steps forward to see that there is a door in front of her to find it was unlocked. Opening it to find that it was also painfully bright in the hallway too. Oh well there was only way to go and that was forward as she took a few steps out into the hallway. But to then hear a door slam shut. Quickly Riot turns around to see that the door was still open and she told herself that she was just hearing things but couldn't figure out to why the room was now empty, where did the table go?
Turning back around as just standing here wasn't going to solve anything no get her answers. Taking slow and steady steps wishing that it wasn't so bright or not so white too as it just felt so strange to walk down.
Thud
Once more Riot turns around to see that there was nothing behind her and the door was still open. Turning back around to continue on walking forward.
Thud
Turning around again to first hear a thudding sound of footsteps, then followed by a strange noise Riot's hands went up to her neck to fiddle the air as she was getting more nervous. Now she saw that it was a blackened figure with what Riot could see were scissors and they were getting closer and closer. To which Riot turns around and starts to run away from the figure as fast as she can all panicked. Heart racing with heavy breath

In her panic Riot stumbles as she just wants to get away from this blackened figure and pushes at the door to see that they do not open at all. As she had forgotten that she need a password in her panic to get away.
"You sucked being friend reading all the time" the follower taunt.
Riot still paniced is also confused to what they are staying as it just doesn't make sence.

Looking down at the ground when Riot calmed a little down but still totally in a panic. Picking it up and then reading to see that written on it is A=0, B=1, C=2. To which she panics more as Riot doesn't know what this is suppose to mean as the blackened figure gets closer still.

Riot once more find another piece of paper at her left but this time there was something different written on it reading A C E G.
Then it hit her like a tone of brick as she get what the two pieces of paper were and quickly works out the code. Riot enter 0, 2, 4, 5 into the number pad. The door opens up and really quickly she runs out of the open door with a burst of energy. Hoping to leave that blackened figure behind.

Seeing that she was outside to which Riot sees the trees and heads right for them hoping they would hid her from that figure. But Riot looks behind her to see that the figure is still following her at a steadily pace. Turing around she runs on.
"Always reading will never get you ahead of the game," it taunts
Panting as Riot tries not to listen to the figure at all but all thoughts to getting away.
"Give me back my heart!! I want it"
Riot had to wonder to what they were talking about as she didn't take there heart as she didn't know who they were.
"Well then I will just take your heart instead then."
No her heart was hers and she just wanted to get away now. But when the trees ended, Riot saw there was an old bridge. Despite how it looked she didn't care she just wanted to get away.
Riot starts to cross the bridge despise that its rickety even the persure is getting closer. All of a sudden trecherous winds started to sway the bridge and she looks down as she didn't want to fall. That was totally the wrong thing to do as now you can hear the steady thumps on the bridge and a snipping sounds. Turning around to find the blackened figure right behind her.

Riot just stares at the blacked figure as she just wanted to get away but it had caught up to her as the figure just stares back so very silent and empty. Quickly two hands reach out to her one when for her head and Riot tried to get away but she couldn't move at all. The only thing that she could hear was the strange thudding sound that got louder but to then only realize that it was her own heart. She tries even harder to get away as she wants to keep her heart but it doesn't work at all.
"Don't worry," coos the voice, "It only hurts once."
"No its mine! Go away!" Riot says but those words are heard on deaf ears.
Hearing a loud sniping sound that followed by a really sharp pain. No, no that is my heart! I want it! There are still thinks that I want to know, why am I hear what am I looking for, why do I fiddle with my neck? I want to know, please give it back. I just want to know, Riot thinks as the blacked figure walk off with her heart in one hand and the scissors in another. The beating get quieter and quieter as everything beings to fade.

Those were things that Riot wondered if they even had those but we must have she thought to herself as she rubbed where her heart was still as she still couldn't shake the feeling of her heart being torn out. As she also wanted to do her best for the goddesses.
Riot did have to wonder to why she was so little but she kept that thought to herself like all the others for at least now. "Umm, Hi and ok," Riot says nervously as she just didn't know what to say more. Taking one of the cookies but just holds it for now. Carefully listening to what this goddess was saying and she didn't know what to say but Riot did offer this goddess a warm smile. A tea party sounded like fun. So Riot steps forward and though the gate wondering to what was going to happen.
Stepping all the way thought the gate to be greeted my some soft music that Riot knows she had never heard before but she still gets a feeling of nostalgia that she can't explain to why. Walking more in to see a table in front of her and as she walks on Riot can hear a light crunch and she looks behind to see that she had left foot prints in this strange solid stuff but nifty none the less.
Focusing back onto the table that Riot had reached to see that there were two jars on the table a pink one and a blue one. Riot takes the blue jar and she looks down at to see that there is a tag on it. It reads Drink Me. Not hesitating at all Riot drinks the contents of the whole jar down. Soon after the last drop went down she starts to feel mild concern, a dissatisfaction that there is something important that she was forgetting that she didn't want to forget at all. Agitation starts to set in as the table spins and changes to were there are now assortment of snacks. Looking at the three different snacks to which Riot chooses the cupcake as it looks the best out of all the other to her.
Taking a bite out of the cupcake to find to what she thought it also unsatisfactory oh well there way no way to take it back now. But Riot's heart started to beat a little faster trepidation and anticipation. Spotting the tea cups as a drink sounded like a good idea, looking at the both of her options as she was unsure with the both of them. Riot decides on the black tea cup and starts to drink from the cup. All Riot could feel was of helplessness as it was a feeling she knew all to well as things around her begin to change
((Warning there is a little gore within the spoiler tags so read at your own risk))
She was currently outside in a very lavish garden with a very big, expensive and well kept house in the not too far distance. Hiding behind one of the many trees in the garden she sat, she was around the age of 10 so full of mischief as it was starting to get dark as the shadows were starting to get bigger. Totally knowing that it was way past the time that she needed to be inside the house since Ceri didn't like her to be outside when it started to get dark. She had always been told by Ceri that it was unsafe to be outside in the dark. There had been loads of times that she had been outside in the dark with her parents or a bodyguard. But when getting home Ceri would always to make sure that she was well. Knowing that Ceri really did love her a lot but she didn't know to why Ceri was afraid of the dark and tonight she was going to test that out sitting behind the tree as she wanted to know why and she was going to force Ceri to tell this time.
Pacing up and down the hallways Ceri couldn't find her Little One at all and grew panicked as she knew her Little One could possible be outside. Ceri at every turn to make some excuse to not tell her Little One as she only wanted to protect what she had grown to love with all her heart from what lurked in the dark. Taking deep breaths Ceri mustered all of her courage to head outside as she was really afraid of the dark.
"Little One, where are you?" Ceri called out once in the lavish garden. All the response that Ceri got was giggling and quickly found were it was coming from.
"What have I told you about you coming back inside before it started to get dark,"
"All the time and why are you so afraid?"
"I guess I can tell but inside now...." Ceri didn't finish that sentence at all as Ceri had pushed her Little One out of the way of something she couldn't see at all
"No you can't have her. MY LITTLE ONE YOU NEED...." Ceri started to yell but was cut short as Ceri eyes when really wide as red started to go every where. Not seeing to who was attacking her Ceri the one she loved so much, the only one that ever cared for her even better than her own mother. She just stood there so shocked and helpless that there was nothing that she could do to stop what was attacking her Ceri. Never seeing who was attacking as it was dark under the tree that she had been hiding behind. All she did was stand there as it all happened so very helpless to stop the attacks from happening. The last thing that she saw Ceri do before death claimed her that her eyes were warm and she knew that Ceri was telling her, Ceri's Little One that she loved her. Now that sparkle was all gone now.
Maybe at one point she might have screamed that could have scared off the attacker as that had gotten the attentions of the bodyguards that were always near but never there when she truly need them. Even now she was now next her Ceri covered in her loved ones blood so very helpless that the one person that she loved and loved her was gone. No more warm laughs, no more of Ceri calling her Little One everything was gone as she cried into the lifeless form of Ceri that she loved so dearly as the feeling of helplessness flowed all over like the waves of the ocean with all the tears flowing.
Taking deep breath as that helped to get back from that memory. Still feeling the lingering helplessness. Riot did spot a note attached to the teapot with a small book. Reading it to see that this did sound fun to do and off Riot went.
Colour of Tea Tasted: Dark Blue Description: A garden and pretty house. Darkness. Confusion. Everything bleeds red.
Your commentary on its flavour: This sense of helplessness wasn't like her first tea. This one was more terrifying, confusing. The sense of futility as she wandered around in the forest. She can feel something gripping her heart when Ceri screams and everything turns red. Red. The sensation of impending death was clearly imprinted into her mind. Sympathy reached for the tea's owner. Had Ceri escaped death or fallen into the reaper's clutches?
