Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Oh yes. The only thing that's never in short supply is blood." She says. "Wyvern teeth, Leviathan scales... if it's used in hemomancy and it's not blood, I need it."

 

"And why do you need to do so much hemomancy?" Artemis asks.

 

"Pass the time. Why else?" She shrugs. "Not my fault this place got mostly wiped."

 

"Couldn't you be doing something that isn't so resource hungry?" Artemis asks.

 

"I could be, but my demons wouldn't be too thrilled." She shrugs.

 

"Demons?" Artemis asks, confused.

 

"Yeah. You know, hellspawn."

 

"Do you have a demon problem?" Artemis asks, sensing around for any other signs of life through her blindfold.

 

There's plenty of demonic life.
"Problem? Psh! They're my answers!"

 

"Answers? To what?" Artemis asks.

 

"Everything! Boredom, multitasking, loneliness... intruders, sometimes..."

 

"I don't think the answers of the spawns of hell are exactly going to be true." Artemis says.

 

"They haven't lead me astray so far." She says. "Hell, they're even asking why you're here. They want to ask you personally. Do I let them in?"

 

"I think I'll be taking my leave, actually." Artemis says, turning to leave.

 

"Aww, do come again, then!"

 

"I'll be coming to claim the artefact." Artemis says a she leaves.

Artemis looks around for any humans that look like they might have a lot of blood in them, or more than most.

 

None; they all seem to keep themselves bleeding dangerously close to death. Constantly.

 

Artemis sighs, her chest closing and the thorns retracting from her skin as she takes her blindfold off, touching her crystal again. Artemis' teeth shrink back to normal, and her hair and eyes turn back to a lighter colour of green. Most of the holes caused by the thorns quickly heal, and her chest doesn't appear to have any evidence of ever being open.

I appear beside Artemis as she leaves the village.

"I'm thinking we give up here and either go to a different world, or just go relic hunting at home. Remember when we used to go relic hunting with the others?" I ask.

"It sounds a lot more fun than this...experience," Artemis says, sighing, "We probably will meet better people on Earth anyway."

I open a portal to the Realm of Shadows in front of me, and Artemis and I step through, the portal closing soon afterwards.

 

You find a small crystal that seems to have followed you through.
"Found this.
-Alice"

 

I inspect the crystal, curious.
