Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"My revenge against Aj." Abigail says happily.

Abigail draws a heart around a pair of names in the dirt.

I look over, "Oh come on!" I say, annoyed.

 

"We're doing revenge stuff?!"
Ihra smacks Aj in the face with the side of her staff, blasting Rineth in the face with random energy.

"NO. NO WE ARE NOT. IHRA!"

 

The force of Ihra's staff knocks me down again.

Abigail begins drawing more names in the dirt.

I get up and jump on Ihra, "REVENGE!?" I shout.

 

Turns out she's bloody strong.
She spins and hurls you at Rineth.

 

"Thank you. Not all witches are as nice as they sound. Especially most of the witches at the Swamp of Decay. The rumoured witch haven is apparently even worse."

 

Sarin isn't subtle with her eavesdropping.
"How bad is the rumored haven?"

 

I summon a dark portal before I hit Rineth, and appear out of one behind Ihra. I grab onto Ihra and force her to the ground, holding her down.

"A test of strength, is it?" I say.

"Sounds like fun." Stephanie says sarcastically.

"I kind of want to meet these 'nasty witches', to see if I can find their reasoning behind being...well, nasty." Artemis says.

 

"Ow..." Ihra whimpers.
"You win... Please get off me..."

 

I pick Ihra up and hold her above me, "I AM THE WINNER AND THIS IS MY TROPHY!" I shout triumphantly.

Abigail seems too focused on drawing in the dirt to notice.

 

She flails, whipping you in the face with her tail several times. Her staff is still on the ground.
"PUT ME DOOOOOWN!"

 

I throw Ihra to the ground, only to quickly teleport and catch her, gently placing her on the ground, before she hits.

I pick up the staff and look at its crystal, "Ooooooo." I say in admiration.

 

You pick up the staff and its weight drastically increases, driving it and you into the ground a bit.
Ihra seems bitter and shaken.

 

I manage to hold the staff despite it's weight.

"I shall take this as my trophy." I say, a dark aura surrounding the staff. It disappears in the blink of an eye.

 

The aura fails.
You're driven deeper into the ground. It's the weight of seven stars by now.

 

"They are said to be extremely hidden from the world, so if we are real, we wouldn't know. Then they also kill outsiders on sight. Most outsiders. The rumours say that those they don't kill wish they had been. Like the Swamps of Decay witches, they experiment on outsiders, except only a few Swamp Witches do or did that. The ones which aren't experimented on are given various... tests. Put these all together, and you have a witch haven which nobody can both find and escape from."

"If you want to, the best place to start might be other witch havens. The Forest Witches will likely try to help you. Other Swamp Witches might have more chance of knowing something about them. However, the one thing I know for certain is that the location will be somewhere with monsters, and there are few other places where monsters live."

 

"Interesting. I'd be willing to search for it if it interests you. Once I get a new staff, at least. I use a dagger as a makeshift wand since mine was broken during combat."

 

I begin to grow in size, lifting the staff.

I focus, and the staffs crystal turns black.

"Sounds like an adventure!" Artemis says happily.

 

You fail.
The staff becomes impossibly heavy, cutting you as it falls to the ground.

 

I mutter something about a "piece of crap staff" before disappearing.

Abigail laughs at her drawings.

 

Ihra picks up her staff, cleaning it with her acid spit.
