She mumbled. Hyron grinned. "Well, wouldn't want to lose you after just 2 kisses, now, would I? Besides, even if you did die I'd find a way to bring you back. We've got stuff to talk about." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Misting he/him Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Just now, CalanoCorvus said: Hyron grinned. "Well, wouldn't want to lose you after just 2 kisses, now, would I? Besides, even if you did die I'd find a way to bring you back. We've got stuff to talk about." Miyako blushed furiously. She had made so many horrible choices while in the grip of emotions. "So, um, Acolyte. How are you doing?" Miyako said, smoothly derailing the conversation. @xinoehp512 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medium he/they Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hyron held back a laugh. They knew they were bold, but they'd just saved Miyakos life. They were riding a bit of a high right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his words, Yerik seemed somewhat downcast. The guard led Hyron, Yerik, and Miyako down the staircase. They reached the level which they had entered from the previous day, the level where the throne room was- and continued descending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyako nodded. Acolyte was good, she was to wrapped up in her own troubles to notice much else. She began to drift away from Hyron. Wait, would they think she didn't want to walk with them? She should probably walk with them. Miyako began to drift closer but paused. How would they take her walking with them? But didn't she want to walk with them? Right?!? Miyako folded her arms and stayed in the direct center of Acolyte and Hyron. Wait, why her hands sweaty? TIDES. Miyako could not wait until she figured out how to stab her emotions.

xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) The walls of the stairwell transitioned from white stone into gray as the trio descended beneath the earth. At the bottom of the stairs, the floor sloped downwards, the walls getting rougher and rougher the farther it went on. The only light was a dim red given off by the metal strips overhead.

Medium he/they Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hyron looked up and wondered what those red strips are. She'd never seen anything like them. And how far deep were they going, anyways? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At last the tunnel opened up into a massive cave. A mesh of metal lined the ceiling far above, bathing the entire cavern in pale red light. In the center of the room was a crystal hovering in midair. It gave off its own red light, and dripped with a liquid that looked ominously like blood. Between the trio and the crystal stood the princess, her back turned to the entrance. She turned as Miyako, Hyron, and Yerik entered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Viney. Stuck Up. Acolyte." She raised her scepter and pointed at each one of them in turn. "Come here." The words rang with the force of command, and the three felt their bodies move towards her involuntarily. Quote Sorry for the slight godmod.

Quote What makes a name actual? By allowing oneself to be called by a moniker, it gives it some nomenclative power, if very, very weak. Only enough to open the thinnest of channels, nothing more.

She glared daggers at the princess, but restrained from smacking that infuriating smirk off her face with a vine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
