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.]

Arranged marriage wasn't entirely unheard of in Caldera. However, lacking actual royalty, it wasn't common, and Thorin's family in particular had given up on the custom generations ago, all of them too stubborn by half to ever accept such a thing. So he watched the child as she faltered and frowned, kept his own expression guarded. Every place had its customs. Was it his business or his place to interfere, really?

"So he did not think to ask you first." A statement rather than a question. That much was obvious.

"No," She said simply, shaking her head before lowering it gently. "It was decided when I was still young, by both families. The Flourite house wishes for their eldest son, Fai, to marry someone who will give him a psychic and fairy typed child."

That was her purpose here, she knew. Even at such a young age, she understood what her role was. And she hated it.
