Descent into Darkness

[bravenewmods]

As the characters arrive, they will find what appears to be a rather deep cavern. Upon entering, the caverns are quite narrow, with twists and turns everywhere and different tunnels that all seem to be interconnected. As characters travel deeper within the caverns, reality around them will start to warp, they will start to see and hear things that aren’t necessarily there - images of old enemies, past failures, voices of condemnation, visions that strike at the soul and core of the characters. Once this begins, it will only increase in power and volume, demanding it be confronted, lest they be trapped within these caves forever.

[OOC: This event will run for a week. All characters who enter the caves will be subject to some of their deepest fears, darkest demons, and most abject failures. To overcome them, characters must help each other out, finding their purpose through strength of character and resolve to move forward. In general, these visions should require characters to come to grips with themselves. Illusory images and voices can and will appear and can take any number of forms, depending on what is most appropriate to a character. Additionally, characters may thread with each other and are encouraged to help each other out to overcome these personal demons. For those who wish to take part, they are able and encouraged to narrate their own personal demons, which will be on display for everyone who enters their thread. IC threads may be made in this post.]

When not directly faced with them, Shyvana could ignore her fears. However, in this dark place of nightmares she has been struggling with her inner demons. That said, stepping into an unfamiliar land far from her troubles has helped her shut them back in the box at the back of her mind.

But this was Lux. And it wasn't... the Lux she knew, this girl was smaller and more vulnerable. Not the happy girl she's used to. She knocks on the door, opening it slowly and calls out, trying to catch the younger girl's attention but staying her distance so she wouldn't scare her.

"Miss Lux?"

"Go away."

She answered when Shyvana knocked, her face still burrowed in her knees. The last thing that she wanted to deal with was one of her mother's handmaidens, or any of the other house staff.

Hearing the door open, her head shot up, and the young blond shot a harsh look at Shyvana. "I said--"

She stopped, her eyes going wide. This woman wasn't from the estate. She looked much more severe, much more formidable. Lux stood quickly, taking a step back. "How--how do you know my name?" She quietly asked.

[bellyofthebeast]

Oh no, she didn't even recognise her- well, of course. This was little Lux, and not someone Shyvana was familiar with at all.

"I... I know you. Later, in the future." She holds her position, so not to scare her away, and opens her arms as a sign of surrender. "I'm a friend."
