Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Easily." Rineth says, still hovering.

"Nevermind..."
Sapphire pauses, before holding a claw out to Angela.
"Mask please."

 

"Thanks. Let's get to the Rath'haga, then."
I say, taking off once again and starting towards the castle.

 

Rineth trails you.
From above, you can see the bloody aftermath of the night's battle. Four raptor corpses, eighteen human corpses, and ten Mantis with deep cuts and/or limbs ripped off.

 

Angela seems confused, "What?" She asks.

 

I look at it for a bit, before focusing on going to the kingdom once again.

 

"Angela, huh? Your soul says otherwise."

It only takes another minute of flight before you and Rineth reach the stronghold.

 

"My soul?" Angela asks.

 

"Stephanie, care to explain how souls work? Because unless Angela isn't as innocent as she seems to be, her soul is Abigail's." Sapphire sighs.

 

I land inside, before motioning that Rineth should do the same.

 

Rineth opts to just follow you.

 

"What? Abigail?" Stephanie says.

"What are you talking about? I'm not Abigail! My name is Angela Equi!"

 

I make my way to the stronghold, walking slower for Rineth to catch up.

 

"Stephanie, cross check her soul with Abigail's." Sapphire says. "My databanks showed a perfect match."

Once inside, Rineth opts to walk beside you rather than behind.
"Sure seems underwhelming."

 

"What does?"

 

"This place seems pretty plain, and anyone with night vision or bad depth perception can see the... you know."

 

"I don't think I can do that easily." Stephanie says.

Angela looks around nervously, "I-I'm not some kind of murderer! Abigail's a fire guardian, right? Look at my eyes, and my hair! They aren't a fire guardian's!" She says.

"Yeah, Angela has black hair and brownish green eyes." Stephanie says.

 

"There are a lot of things to see."
I prompt him to make his point.

 

"Abigail had my mask, which would allow her to completely change her facial appearance."

Sapphire, to test, presses a button on her wrist that temporarily deactivates her armor (showing all of her wounds) and, if Angela is wearing her mask, will reveal whoever's below.

"I doubt they would want a secret pointed out loud in an echoing hall." Rineth says.

 

"Oh, that. Good point."

 

"So, where do we take these?"
