Norforva was busy this night. The land had been cracked leading down an underground passage that made even the holiest Paladin tear away from. But not Vivian, Vivian the Dark Witch felt the amazing energy in this place every time she came out here. With the ground so desolate and the air supercharged with mystical energy, even the feeling in her bandages right arm felt soothed from the converging of different energies. Full mauve lips spread as she lifted her hands to the air to welcome the explosive energy into her body. But as soon as the preparations and spell had begun to be cast she felt a something odd prick her neck and then her body fell into the dirt and unconscious. Some time had passed but the female was finally about to rouse herself. Blurry azure eyes opened up to small illuminating crystals in a small room. She was on the stone floor, cold to the touch. She shifted her body, her heavy chest moving as she scraped up her Witch Hat and plopped it firmly upon her head. What had happened? Was she drugged and brought to this chamber? Wasn't she dancing in the death lands of Norforva just a little while ago? The female was groggy from whatever was in her system but it was expelling out. When she turned her body, she noticed another person in the room with her. A dark skinned male who seemed to be just as lost as she was. Great, she was in a room with a random stranger and had no idea what to do about this mess. There seemed to be a staircase leading up, but it looked like a mystical lock had chained the bars from opening it. The only way out was to get through this dungeon somehow. What kind of sick joke was this? With her bare feet, the Dark Witch moved towards the other person and gave him a nudge with her feet in his side, "Wake up!" She said with a demanding voice. Her darkened feet would press up against his chest as she roused him from his unconscious state. As soon as he got up, or if he needed another smack with her foot, the woman moved over to a wooden door. It looked jammed but perhaps with enough force it could be broken open. @Endo
What a day that was happening. The chain of events that led him to where ever he is are normal at first, but get more and more crazier. That last thing Endo had felt before he was forced unconscious was a felt of regret and a prick on his neck. And he was out cold. Overtime, Endo would come in and out of consciousness slowly, for the next in the cycle would repeat itself over and over. Conscious, unconscious. He felt himself being dragged, but by who or what was mystery for now. Drifting slowly into consciousness he felt a light kick on his leg and a muffled voice, saying "Wake up!" very demandingly. All at once, Endo couldn't process this at all. He felt as if his mind shut off, and he drifted again into unconsciousness. A few minutes later, and Endo jumped up off the ground, scooting towards the wall. He panted heavily as he looked around puzzled. This wasn't the inn, or the grass to be in fact. It was solid stone. Stone floor and stone walls, with a somewhat intact door, and a woman standing right in the middle of the room. Endo jumped to his feet and placed his hands in front of him, getting into a fighting position. At this point Endo was confused, puzzled, curious and frightened at the same time. He called out to the woman in the center of the room. "Who are you?! Did you drag me down here?" @Vivian Cruz
The female sighed and rolled azure eyes at the person who just woke up. She looked at him with an obvious blank look and shook her head, "No...but I can see why you would be paranoid. Had I woken up last, I would be asking the same thing as well. BUT whatever it is that dragged us down here, they want us alive for something. Maybe we are dinner?" The woman shrugged her bare shoulders at the frightened youth who was taking up a defensive fighting stance. The woman sighed again, "Whatever. I don't need help from a sniveling brat anyways. I can...do this...Fuckin' door; Open!" The woman was attempted to use her weight and shoulder to try and open the door but it just wouldn't budge. Should she feel the need, she could probably set it on fire and just break it down that way, but...Hahaha, wouldn't life have it that she could do just that? Her pyromancy was all wonky right now. The woman snarled from her predicament and eyed the dark skinned youth, "Alright Boy. Make yourself useful and get this door open. I am not breaking a nail today..." Their starting area was warm and a little foggy, illuminated by glowing crystals every twenty feet away that shined in brilliance of an offset white radiance. Vivian took a step back and leaned against the stoney walls as her eyes peered at the young man. Hopefully he had a bit more strength than the Witch or they might have to just rot down here or until their Host comes and breaks them apart for their dinner.
He was still very defensive, but not as much as she assured him that she was friendly, or at least she looked like it. She became very annoyed with the wooden door because it would not budge open. The door did not look sturdy, a basic wooden door with an average hinge but it didn't open. Endo wanted to leave wherever the hell he was at the moment, but he wasn't really feeling like doing so. He was feeling his average 'laziness' impulse, but he had to escape, one way or another. He let a soft yawn as he laid back against the wall. Then all of a sudden she was commanding him to open the door. That was odd. No one had controlled him or even asked him to do something since he had left to go live on his own. Very strange. Now being the arrogant person he is, being commanded by a person who in this circumstance was in the same position as he was, Endo thought that she had no control over him. He got aggravated and started to to turn his back for this woman, losing some respect for her. "Make myself useful? What does that mean, and why can't you do it yourself, huh?" He felt that it wasn't fair for him to do the work, so he he laid back against the wall and braced himself for whatever she had to say. @Vivian Cruz
"Umm, hello~?" The woman just said she would break a nail attempting to get the door open. Apparently this kid was not the gallant hero type, he would leave such a woman to defend for herself as well if it meant saving his own skin? Ugh, why couldn't people just obey her? She snorted, a plume of smoke escaping her nose as she seemed agitated by his comment. Fine, did he really want to play this game with her? She could play the game and she would definitely play it well. "Listen, Boy. I do not want to stay another minute in this hell hole, I am sure you don't want to as well. So we kinda need to work together! Look at my arm, you see it bandaged up like this with chains and charms on it? You don't wanna piss me off because the power within this arm does not like to be disrespected, it could kill us both. Now then," the woman shot off the wall and walked towards him. Ample bosom nearly pressed to his chest as she stared him in the eye, her azure colored eyes flickered with heat as she glared at him. "Open...the goddamn door, or I'll use that thick skull of yours as a battering ram to open it myself! Do you comprende?" Her tone was thick with venom as if that didn't work there was a feeling of heat in the air. Sure it was warm in the corridor, but now it was getting hotter and hotter. The flecks of red in her eyes now turning into heat as she looked at him, and her fingers were dancing and moving as if to heat the air to uncomfortable levels. Should her threat not make him move to the beat of her music, she would do what she had said and use his head to open the door. Blood, brain matter, it didn't matter. She was gonna get out of here with or without his help. "Do as I say or I'll let the rats feast upon your flesh, do not mess with a Witch who knows the most vile of dark magic!"
Endo was glad he readied himself for whatever she was about to say, because she went off. He flinched as she talked, just protecting himself for what my come next. She did mention her arm, which did look pretty bad. Endo was starting to wondered what had happened to it. But he was just dozing off in his mind. And as as soon as he knew it, she just was inches away from his face. He could feel the radiating heat coming off of her. When she had backed up off of him, he started to feel a little warmer than usual. He didn't know what was causing it, maybe because of the rather pissed off woman in the room, or who ever trapped them down in this cellar. "Fine! Fine. Damn.." He was getting annoyed as well, be didn't want to challenge her on who was more annoyed. He walked up to the door, observing it closely. He didn't know anything about the door, or any doors in this matter, but it was still a door. He could probably get it to work. But he was still rather aggravated of her commanding him. She was basically at the same level as he was in this situation. Why didn't she just do it herself, she obviously seemed she could. But why bother getting into an argument. Endo slammed against the door, multiple times, the door not budging. Now Endo wasn't a man to quit after a few tries, but for this situation, he was getting rather tired.On his last attempt, he pushed himself to the wall right next to the door, and sat up against it. He was essentially done, since he hadn't eaten before he got here. So he laid there and dozed off again. "Your turn, lady.." @Vivian Cruz
Vivian's glare was like ice needles at the boy as she watched him slam his body into the door in an attempt to get it open. When he tried several more times, he finally gave up after finding the door would not open. She narrowed her eyes into obvious threatening slits of annoyance as she placed a hand on the wooden surface. With her head tilted down and her mouth moving, yet the words were not quite clear and audible. Her hand began to burn and with a strong push, the door exploding into fiery embers as it seemed to be blasted away with her effort. With smoke exhausting from her hand, the woman clapped them together and dusted her fingers off of any ash that might have collected on her digits. "Are you seriously just going to lay there? I am not gonna help you if whatever has taken us here decides to show itself and devour you. Now get your ass up off the ground and follow me!" Vivian was not one to get angry too often, but people needed to understand the pecking order in this situation. Of course the boy had a choice and he could very well just lay on the cold ground and be stuck there for eternity or have his head separated from his body eventually. She cared little. However at the off chance she MIGHT need his help, she needed him awake and alert to all things. Adjusting the witch hat upon her head and swinging the long purple hair from her creamy shoulder towards her back, the woman set forth to the next room she just blasted through with a Fire Touch spell on the door. She had used energy she could have saved for something more important, but the little boy who wanted to play Lazy Bones didn't want to put in the effort. She eyed him with venomous azure glare before she took a few steps in the next room. The small crystals lit the room up in each of its corners. Dust covered the ground until she felt something touch her toes, she looked down and fished something up. A dusty old bone, in fact...now that she could see a little more clearly, the entire room was covered in bones. Vivian sighed, what was she dealing with? A troll? A goblin maybe? Something that liked to eat humans no doubt. At the corner of the room there looked like a shrine, glowing in brilliance. There was an emblem upon the altar of the shrine, she knew it from anywhere. "Tyl..." she murmured. "Whoever has been here, has been defiling this shrine with bones and mocking the God. Well, this has gone from bad to worse in a heartbeat."
Endo was only half asleep when it came to ''dozing off' but still he was on the verge of sleep. His eyes was semi closed, not really paying any attention to the woman or the door, when small crackling noises started to be heard. Endo looked around slowly to find out what was causing the nosie. A fire? Had to be somewhere. And that's when he focused his attention to the door. He was looking at the back of the lady but he could see the door getting burned away, as the woman put her hand on it. Endo thought this was neat, but wondered if she could do that, why didn't she do it before. So casually, Endo stood himself up, leaning on the wall to stabilize him. He pushed off of the wall and started to towards the door, his hands in his pockets. She did tuenaround and give him a little death stare though. It made his spine shiver but nevertheless he kept towards the door. As he walked out of the room, he noticed that the room was dimly lighted, with small particles of dust forming everywhere. He gave the room another good look before continuing, and his first step out of the first room, he tripped. He landed relatively onto the ground, feeling himself break something under his palm. He look closely at the ground and realized that they were in a room of bones. Endo was freaked out about this, almost jumping instantly and back towards the entrance of the room. He looked at the woman for guidance. She was saying something about shrines and mocking the God. "Hey lady, you realize we are in a room of bones? It could just be something like a skeltons, you never know." @Vivian Cruz
"Vivian!" She barked at the young man who seemed to have now taken notice of the bones scattered about the cold, stone floor. She gave him her name so that he would stop with that insistent 'Hey Lady,' phrase. If they were gonna get through this, they might as well learn each other's names. "And yes, I am quite aware the room is littered with bones. But what I am more antsy about is that thing staring at us from the corner of the room." Vivian used a pointed nail to point in the direction of what appeared to be an Imp idling about and staring at the individuals attempting to figure out if they are friend or foe. The creature looked awfully hurt that Vivian had burned his door, not to mention making such a clatter of noise to disturb it's sleep. The Imp let it's wings unfurl from his back and stretched them out long. A long yawn while piercing glowing red eyes stared back at them. He took a few steps forward and grunted now hovering in the air. A crude weapon in his hand as he shifted his weight and beat his wings against the stale air causing a miasma of foul odor to ripple through their senses. Vivian placed a hand over her nose and wafted the air away from her eyes as they stung from the smell. "Ugh! Foul creature! You should learn to bathe once in awhile. Who knows how long you have been down here, I bet you have been feasting on the worms and the maggots of the bodies that decomposed down here, huh?" The imp snarled at the woman's aggressive and violent voice. He slammed his crude weapon down causing the ground to crack beneath it. It opened its mouth and rancid drool dripped from its mawl and waved the crude weapon with a white knuckle tight fist. Snarling and growling like a creature of the damned, it shrieked forth spouting dark liquid towards her. Vivian shifting on her foot, slammed the bare foot down into the ground causing a dust cloud to blind the minion. "Go, attack it with your weapon! I have it blinded for the moment. I need you to get in close while I prepare a spell!"
Endo wasn't expecting to receive reply like that. Well at least he knew her name. And he could admit, saying 'lady' so much was annoying. He had to make a mental note in his head to remember her name so he didn't forget. She pointed across the room to the realtively dark corner with a creature that Endo couldn't name off the top of his head, but he knew after a while he could get it right. It slowly started to move itself out of the corner and the creatures wings unfolded and spread out, showing off it's wingspan. As soon as the creature was hovering the room was filled with an odor that was not so pleasant. Endo almost threw up right then and there. He had been taking breaths of whatever fresh air he could get from his shirt, but the smell lingered. Vivian was rather mad at the creature, but her aggressive nature got the best of her. The creature tried to attack her her first, giving Endo sometime to find a weapon he could use against the thing. He grabbed a bone that realtively sharp and clutched it. At this point, the creature was drooling over a crack in the ground. Vivian had called out to him to attack the creature while it was blinded by a cloud of dust. Endo rushed up to the rear of the creature and plunged the sharp bone into back. It shrieked out in pain as the creature tried to fly away, with Endo on its back. The creature was still hovering, but flying as high as it was before. Not to mention the smell of the creature was still there, making his eyes water from the odor. "Hey Vivian! Could you maybe hurry up? I'm about to lose my grip!" @Vivian Cruz
Vivian stomped the ground, not to help summon a spell, not to blind the Imp again, but out of agitation! "Don't you have a REAL weapon?" she said pointing to the brittle bone he used as a club. The woman could not believe she was messing around with this novice! Did he honestly not know how to equip himself with armor and weapon? She pinched the bridge of her nose thinking maybe it would not be so bad if the Imp decided to reach behind, slam the boy to the ground and then start eating his guts. Nope. She would not mind that scenario one bit. Although the Dark With was agitated with the young man, she would summon power from the earth once more. A purple spell circle began to twist and turn on the ground as it flowed with power, connecting her to the realm of energy and magic. Her hands moved in intricate patterns as her mouth began to move, a voice low as she made her incantation. A dark shade formed around her hands like an aura as her eyes blacked out and she felt the whispering power of Dark Energy gather in the palm of her hands. SHe brought her palms together, one over the other as her words echoed into the room. The dark magic crawling on the ground as it moved and like dark wispy tendrils, they started to latch onto the Imps feet and pull the creature down, and probably knocking the young Cowboy along with it. "Move!" she demanded to the other player, her right hand whipped backwards telling the tendrils to latch around the throat of the demonic creature. She smiled as the started to drain the life force from it, but it would not kill it so easily. "Stab it in the heart while I have it held down!" The command of her voice was a dominating tone as the spell circle below her feet started to spin, her magic would soon come full circle and she could access the next tier of her spells, more powerful and more destructive.
As he was roaming around attached to the imp, he made occasional glances at Vivian. Endo saw her stomper her foot again, and she was moving her mouth at him, but he ignored her. She could ramnt on and on about him however she likes. But now isn't the right time for this. By the time Endo was starting to get sick of this nonsense, Vivian had had some tentacle like things grabbing on to the creatures feet, pulling the creature down. Endo pulled on the sharp bone, taking it out of the creatures back and hopping down. She yelled at him to stab the creature in its heart. He walked over slowly and and slammed the bone straight into the middle of its chest. He started to pant as he rested himself against the wall. That didn't seem so hard. But he was now worn out because of this. Endo was feeling really lazy right around now, not wanting to really do anything. She was surely gonna to vent at him now. "Look, what ever you have to say, say it. Because at this point, I don't care." Endo wasn't really in the mood for anything Vivian had to put up with him right now.
With the imp battle at an end, the imp perished under the broken sharp bone weapon by Endo. Vivian stood there with a scowl on her face as she looked at the boy with those demanding eyes and his comment made her eyes twitch with annoyance. "No! I am not going to say anything, in fact, I have nothing to say to you at all." The woman gave him a careless look, the lazy boy was grinding her gears and she could not believe she was caught so easily off guard and thrown into this dungeon. All she could do was shake her head in dismay. When the battle had cleared, the Dark Witch lit her left hand ablaze with the power of her Pyromancy and used it as a device to see better in the dark. It seemed there was only two options for them to go. Either go back where they came from or go through the archway leading to the next room. After such an explosive battle, she doubt anything in the next room would want to battle them. Azure steel gaze on the boy, almost sharp as daggers, she flicked the purple hair from her shoulder and moved with the way of her own beat towards the archway. She stopped before moving further and rolled those pristine eyes. Her bare left foot lifted before moving any further and stopped mid room. Her ablazed hand shifted down towards the ground and she whistled. A detailed tile mosaic of an epic battle stretched along the floor. From the looks of it the hero had slain some kind of dark dragon from what she could gather from the details of the image. Other than that, there was no significant importance of the room. More bones were littered about the floor along with skeletons hanging from cages. Most likely prisoners who had rot in their prison over time. Vivian took a few steps closer to one and found that a rat had squealed as it came scuttling out of the eye socket of a skull. Vivian shrugged, this seemed like a decent place for the moment to take a rest and figure out what to do next. Gathering some of the broken and chewed on bones in a small section of the room, she casually tossed the ball of fire in her hand to create a makeshift fire pit allowing the room to be illuminated with its warmth and light.
She had set her hand on fire, looking down the archway that left the room that they were in now. Endo took some curiosity into what she was doing, so he leaned forward a little, but still sitting on the wall. Through her light, he could see into the archway a little. It was doing him no good to just sit around on the wall she was actually doing something. Equals. He followed Vivian into the room, looking at decor of the room. It was nearly identical to the lkast room where the creature was, although with some minor changes. The cages filled with skeletons creeped him out. The dragon mural was pretty cool though. He had truged through the bones to get to where Vivian had set up a lit campfire in the center of the room. He had sat him self down by the flames, and looked up at Vivian, staring into her eyes. "Well, what do we do now?"
"Oh finally decided to grace me with your presence, huh?" The woman said flatly answering his question with a question of her own. The woman stood, her fine fingers roaming through the length of her hair before elegantly sweeping it off her shoulder as her azure eyes starred in to the burning campfire. What were they to do now? She wanted to leave and get out of this dungeon, that's what she wanted. The little boy across from her probably wanted to be gone of the Witch as well. But unfortunately they were stuck in this together. She sighed as she shook her head, giving a mild shrug of her shoulders, "Why do I have to come up with the plan?" she said with her palms up as if she were to know all the answers. She flicked the brim of her witch hat and folded her arms over her chest, the boy didn't get the privilege to see her goods by perking them up with an underhug of her arms. Instead she turned on her barefoot and pointed at the next door leading to a new room, "We just keep going until we kill everything in this dungeon or something kills us. Although, I won't be easy to kill. You on the other hand? I expect a quick and painful death." Her eyes were on him but only a flicker of a moment as she looked at him over her shoulder. She would leave him to the maggots and rats like she had explained earlier, but perhaps sometime in the future the boy might be of some use to her. "But don't worry. I won't let the scary things in this place eat you up. Now then. If you feel like actually helping this time around, we can move forward." It was time to settle up their affairs and meet their hosts. Vivian was not a woman who was to be taken lightly and she was not someone you take for granted. And most definitely... She walked towards the next door, her eyes glowing hot with fire as she summoned up a powerful boosted low level fireball spell and turned the wooden door to a pile of ash. ...Not someone you take as a prisoner.
