Daeriin’s Comments (group member since Aug 13, 2013)

Daeriin’s comments from the The Labyrinth (Advanced RP, Inviting Members) group.

Riin materialized a bit to see how the man was doing, waiting for his next move. "You're free to touch, smell, taste everything there is here. Just be careful not to fall in a hole or drop some stones on yourself, or something." She advised.

Off-topics again. XD
Greetings, Bree.
Took a short nap, ready to continue more or less.

I need to take a break. Probably back in a few hours or so. Don't get bored. :)

Most of the symbols on the stone pots - including this one - have faded away beyond recognition, but if tempered a bit some still could show more or less recognizable forms.

“Oh, and you just have to call my name if you need me.” A disembodied voice of the girl – now less formal and filled with more emotion - sounded right next to the left ear of the man.

At a better glace one could notice that here and there in the shadows shatters of old crockery lay, the plants along the walls hid the remains of once grand stone flower pots with elaborate ornaments embracing the borders and some faded signs at the front. What first seemed to be a cave was a creation of men, having given in to the vigorous force of nature with time.

((XD))

A long moment that for some might have been similar to an eternity has passed and she opened her eyes fixing the gaze on the man. Then she spoke in a soft melodic voice, every word falling clear in the still air of the cave.
“Welcome to the Labyrinth, Adventurer. I am the White Keeper, the host of this place. Find your way through it and claim your prize – one wish shall be granted at the end of the quest. Be attentive to details then everything here has its meaning. And remember, if you find yourself in trouble or doubt, you can ask me for help three times. Only three, so be so wise in judging your own strengths and weaknesses.”
Having said this, the Keeper faded away.

The shadows moved and a ghostly white figure slowly materialized in the center of the cave. It was a girl in a flowing white dress, fabric moving around her to the gusts of intangible wind. Her features were the solemn ones of a statue, eyes closed, no emotion to be seen.

The first room that opened to the gaze of the man was what at first glance seemed to be a simple old cave with rough walls of grey stone, roots of plants and trees climbing them, hanging down from the high ceiling. Plashes of daylight that was entering the cave from holes up above – too small for a man to climb through - were to be seen here and there, creating an interesting pattern of twirling and sparkling dust and shadows in the further corners of the room. Small streams of water - apparently coming from the surface - ran along the biggest roots flooding some parts of the uneven ground below his feet.

The air in front of the Gates filled with buzzing and crackling, and two blades of green flames burst from each side of the Gate arch's foundation. The flames ran across the surface burning out the lettering in the stone. They clashed at the very top, sparks flying in every direction, and descended again to be devoured by the stony ground below.
As soon as the flames faded, the ancient letters transformed into an easy-to-understand text. The words said:

"YOUR WISH HAS BEEN HEARD. ENTER NOW."

Sorry, trying to work too.

"Are you sure I can't help you any further?" He wondered hearing her distressful sighs.

"Ah! Teddy?!" In all the commotion the girl forgot about the kid completely. Was he safe and even alive since they've left the damned circle? She turned around looking for him.

The girl blushed greatly, taken aback by the sudden embrace. "You are welcome." She stuttered.

Riin patiently waited for the flow of energy through her fingers to stop. Then she pulled her hands away and made several steps back. "You may open your eyes again. How is it?"

The man hunkered next to the girl and put his palm on the top of her head. "You did good. Thank you." He said quietly.

The girl softly touched his eyelids with her fingertips and breathed out, concentrating. She had to stay calm as another screw up was nothing she could afford. Mentally she called upon the magic of the island to heal this man and make what's wrong right again.

"At least the blood has stopped." He nodded, looking approvingly at his own work. "And stop being so stubborn. I'm not an enemy. I've told you before."
He felt concern for the girl. And did not care if the other two men present would see or question his healing magic.

"I'm not so good at healing, but I will try." She approached Iskilsa practically mirroring the actions of her brother at the Forest, but not even slightly aware of it. "I can use the Labyrinth's magic to enhance the natural healing process." She shyly reached out for the man's face.

"Don't be silly, girl. This needs to be treated." Without asking a second time and waiting for her permission he carefully took her hands in to his own and mentally commanded the magic of the Labyrinth to do its thing. First the bleeding stopped and then the wounds healed slowly with a tingling sensation.

"I suppose... I could." She mused. "Didn't get the chance to try it out though, Anne was quicker."
'And good for us so,' - the thought, but didn't say it out loud. Since she was calm again and could analyze, she got relived and happy on one hand, and angry with herself on the other. 'You've panicked, you stupid girl.' She scolded mentally.
