that was awesome. =) I like your characters. I will write Ku’s dream later, but just a short fun ditty in response to Mori. ;p
Abirami
So bored.
I was lying on my back again, waiting for Ku to wake up. A while ago, Enydd had woken up and walked around a bit, asked me what next, but she had gone off somewhere after I told her I was going to wait for Ku to wake.
A man entered the room with his shirt over his nose. Had he come from below? I could see the hallway from the door he left ajar. At least I knew where that door led. Question was where the other three doors went.
What room had five doors entering into it, anyway?! This castle was some sort of demented.
The man laid down and fell asleep.
Soon after, another man entered. He had a knife in his hand and a wicked grin on his face. All my instincts told me this man was worse than even the dhiaga. With him, I didn’t sense even a modicum of good will. The strength of the instinct made me wonder if I would even be able to reason with this one.
I quietly took out the blow dart from Ku’s pack. Moving by instinct, I silently brought it to my mouth. The extract was from the creeping ice, but Malcuno had processed it so it wouldn’t kill him, only put him to sleep.
Just in case the room didn’t work on him. After all, the first man hadn’t fallen asleep right away, but no way was I going to allow harm to come to a defenseless man, stranger or not.
My eyes narrowed as I focused my sight. The man flipped his knife in his hand and looked up, staring right into my eye. A shiver went through my body as a foreign presence chuckled from within my mind.
Fear shot down my soul. Who was this man?
(hope that is acceptable @inkhorn . You can change it if you want. I just figured she wouldn’t sit around for long… @denali-christianson , not sure if that fits with your characters ability or not, but I figured Mori would be able to sense the animal presence from within Abirami. … since my world’s magic is called essence, it works similar to Plato’s perfect forms, so for Abirami to transform into different animals, he has to have basically the true essence of the animals formed in his mind – so for a telepath like Mori, I would imagine it would be like seeing a bunch of live animals from within Abirami’s mind… Figured he would find that humorous? feel free to change it if you wish…)
