| ## Vex “The goods must be here somewhere,” I hear a woman’s voice say. She sounds tough, yet relaxed. “This… isn’t a good idea. We should get out of here. I don’t feel very comfortable here,” I hear another one say. This one being gentler, and uncertain. Ugh, it’s difficult to move as I blink lazily, and try to turn to the side. Where am I exactly? I don’t recognize any of this. I find myself in a dark corner of a room with very aged stone-based walls behind some sort of large structure. Everything smells a bit mossy and damp. The air feels heavy. I can see a burning torch placed on the wall on the far side of the room casting a faint glow, providing barely enough light to make do with. Barely, but not comfortably. The voices must have come from another nearby room. Is this real? For some odd reason, I feel as if there’s something familiar about the situation. I can see a dilapidated exit leading to an area that looks brighter and much more welcoming than the room I’m currently in, and quickly decide I ought to cautiously make my way in that direction. As I look over myself, I discover that I am dressed for the bedroom, in a sheer black babydoll set. While I do personally find the style to be quite favorable, it’s undoubtedly awkward to dress like this in an unknown place, especially since it’s so very revealing. This only reinforces my desire to remain hidden for the time being. “Oh, this is a nice resting chamber. Look at her. She’s still so pretty after all these years. Lucky for us, she’s to remain asleep for a long long time, haha.” “Oh wow. So beautiful. She still looks like she’s alive.” “She is.” “Wow! Um, then is it really the best idea to stick around here? What if she wakes up? I think we should…” “Don’t be silly. She won’t wake up on her own. Not without a…” As I follow the voices, I come across a decorated-looking room with two figures inside, holding a conversation as they face what looks a an uncovered elaborate-looking crypt. This room seems vastly more well lit than the room I was in previously, but how exactly? The light seems to be pouring in from the sky, but are we actually in an open-roof area? I can’t see very clearly. When I see the two in greater detail, I nearly yelp in surprise, but quickly cover my mouth with a free hand. A girl with long flowy hair wearing a classy long robe with shiny gold trim and elaborate symbols on the loose sleeves was the one reluctant to stay around. The other one, however, was a girl with the lower body of a giant scorpion! She wore very little, and what she had on was rag-tag, but at the same time clean, and stylish regardless. She was the one trying to urge her companion to continue. Something suddenly catches both of their attention. I tense up in anticipation as I see the both of them react. Just then, an arm reaches out. Both of the girls jump back. A long haired beauty pulls herself up into a sitting position and yawns, stretching her arms up. The display was both free, yet well restrained at the same time. The other two remain frozen, as do I. “This is impossible!” “How can she do this without a human nearby?” The newly awakened girl turns to the two and give them an unamused look, one that almost makes her look a bit ticked off. Both of them quickly back up as if afraid, and lower themselves as if prostrating before her, quivering slightly on the ground. The girl steps out of her resting place, and reveals that she’s wearing a long but simple white dress. She almost immediately notices me, and gazes piercingly in my direction. The two near the floor split up and position themselves on either side of the white dressed girl, all the while remaining facing the floor in submission, as if clearing a path for her. I guess there’s no sense in trying to conceal myself further, so I timidly step out. The girl watches me closely, with eyes sternly locked on mine. I gulp in uncertainty. Despite her very simple white dress, she has an elegant, and radiant quality to her, like the kind of person who can wear absolutely anything, and still look gorgeous. She holds herself in a confident sort of way, befitting of royalty. There is a sense of kindness also present in her eyes as she watches me. Uncertain as I am, I don’t feel as if I’m in any sort of danger. “I’ve been waiting for you,” she says to me in a confidant voice. “Come, child.” I feel a bit troubled by what she said. That opens the doors to so many questions that I’m not sure how I would even begin asking. But her eyes draw me in. I can’t help but approach. I am already hers. |
| Oooohhhhh~ this woman in white seems formidable & certain of herself, but these other two and their reaction, what will be their next move? And more importantly how will this effect them But I worry for the human, immediately being someone's like that feels like a trap... Or a spell |

| Makes me want to guess what she is :D Wight maybe? Somehow you always wake up in some kind of crypts yummy :D Nicely written as usual^^ |
| @: MGP-02 Light Before I know it, a loud crackle erupts on the ground before me, then shouting echoes in every direction. Several clouds of smoke blossom all around me, obscuring everything from view. I quickly scramble back, heart racing from the eminent danger. “Now!” someone shouts. A shower of sparks rain from above, sizzling and steaming in the moist-feeling air. The ceiling becomes blindingly bright that I cannot bear to look at it. The halls echo with more shouting and hissing, and it starts to get very dark, as if a black shroud has been dropped on us. I see the girl in white stumble towards me out of the darkness and fall to her knees with a gasp, and I instinctively lower myself to see if she is alright. “Save them! Be careful of poison!” an echoey voice shouts. I think this one’s the scorpion girl. Something darts towards my eyes and I instinctively shirk my head. The soft trill of multiple projectile impacts ring through my ears as I see a row of darts lodged in someone’s arm held out in front me. “Don’t worry human. Poison doesn’t harm me,” says my savior. I look up to see the previous robed girl standing protectively in front of both the girl in white and I from the unseen aggressor, with her sleeved arm held out to shield a number of projectiles, presumably poisoned, from reaching their destination. Who are they aiming for? Are they going for the girl in white? Or perhaps me? I find it difficult to believe I’m a target in an organized attack, so it’s likely the girl in white. There has to be something special about her. “Let’s move,” the robed girl commands, helping up the girl in white, who looks like she’s not doing very well. She struggles to even stand. “Prevent the ritual!” I hear someone shout behind me. “Oh no,” says the robed girl as she ushers us back towards the area where her scorpion companion was. I guess someone more dangerous is blocking our escape. “There’s another one!” she yells as we make our way towards the scorpion girl, who is standing guard concentrating, listening for sounds in the shadows. “She’s still here,” says the scorpion girl. “The assassin.” “There’s someone else casting the darkness,” says the robed girl. “In the hallway.” I try to help the girl in white stand. She feels cold and weak. Before anything else can happen, a figure darts out of the shadows, only to be intercepted by the tail of the scorpion girl. The figure comes into view long enough for me to see it. She’s a long and dark haired girl wearing dark clothes and a mask over her mouth. “Get down and keep her safe,” the robed girl instructs me, regarding the girl in white. We huddle down towards the crypt, trying to keep a low profile. The robed girl raises her arms slightly as she joins her companion. The scorpion girl holds a dagger in each hand, swiping at the air as the masked girl expertly dodges and darts from shadow to shadow. Her scorpion legs clatter on the floor as she quickly shuffles from side to side, locked in combat with her masked opponent, and they quickly disappear into the darkness. Long whips fly out of the robed girl’s sleeves as she strikes somewhere into the darkness at an enemy I can’t see from here. I can hear a crackle and brief flashes of light as firecrackers are scattered on the floor. During this chaos, the girl in white, now in my arms, raises a hand to brace the side of my face. “W-What’s wrong?” I ask. She simply shakes her head, and pulls me close to her, shuddering. What happened to her to cause this weakened state? She looks and feels so frail in my arms, where just moments ago, she looked so proud and dignified. “Please bear with it,” she whispers, then lifts her head towards me, while bringing mine towards hers with her hand. I feel my nervous breath blow off her face and back at me. In a starling move, she pulls my face directly into hers, and she kisses me. A sudden warm feeling comes over me, and blueish lights circle around us. I try to gasp, but I am unable. I start to feel weak, as if my energy is being sapped. I stare into the girl’s eyes as life seems to fill hers. “It’s happening!” I hear an unfamiliar voice exclaim excitedly on the the other side of the room. Suddenly the blanket of darkness lifts and is almost immediately sucked away. In an instant, the room is bright enough to be momentarily blindingly bright, and I break my kiss with the girl in white, eyes slowly adjusting to the light. Another girl with many hair ornaments, short decorated pink hair, and golden armored limbs appears where I heard the voice, holding a ball of pure darkness in her right hand. She seems to be hovering in the air above the crypt using rapidly vibrating transparent wings. “I thought I’d brighten your day,” she proclaims. Now that we can all see clearly, our adversaries are equally clear for us to see as well. There are two. The masked girl in dark asian-themed clothes similar to the common portrayal of a ninja, and another nearly naked and floating in a large orb of darkness which seem to envelope her widely spread legs. The orb seems wispy and fluid at the same time, black and seemingly distorting light in the area around it. Her long hair looks to be the same substance as that of the orb. They both look troubled to see the girl in white standing on her own now. The masked girl steps back awkwardly now that she is completely revealed. It is now clear that a large section of the roof is missing, and a bright light beams through. The girl in white stands straight up, her face lit brilliantly by the beating rays of the sun, and her hair flowing freely in the sudden gust of wind. It no longer feels clammy and stuffy as fresh air circulates freely through the dusty ruins. “Quick, the human,” commands the dark orbed girl. With a loud bang, the other one instantly dashes towards me with a slight arc to avoid my two protectors in a desperate attempt to bring down her target. Unfortunately for her, the scorpion girl moves blindingly fast. With exceptional speed, she whips out her tail, leaving a trail of red streaming through the air. As the robed girl shoves me away protectively, I see the ninja girl’s limp body tumble into the wall with a sickening crack, then pitifully slump into the corner. The trail of blood lightly paints the wall. The dark-orbed girl looks horrified by the display. “Pointless waste of life,” she says in a calmly melancholic tone. “Short sighted. Failure!” she screaches with a distraught expression on her face as she quickly floats towards the gaping hole above to make her escape. Wow. What is going on? I stare at the lifeless body in shock, trying to recompose myself, but before long I feel a hand at my chin. The girl in white brings my face to hers again. “This may be a lot to take in, but it will be all right. You will be safe,” she says and again she kisses me, this time her eyes staring deeply into mine. Again I start to feel weak, only this time she keeps her lips locked forcefully onto mine. I am powerless to resist. My body starts to tire again, and my strength seems to drain at an alarming rate as shimmering blue light completely fills my vision. My legs fail to keep me up, and I feel arms wrap around me tightly. I feel a strong pulsing in my temples, and before long I lose consciousness. |
| oh wow, that was jam packed full of action and intensity, i wish i could write like that :D i was surprised with what happened so suddenly, and when she kissed you and the light, was like magical girl transform! hehe ok i over exadurated that last part but still it was a suprise and grand 2nd chapter, no wonder it takes you so long to write these |

| this seems to be taking an interesting turn ... it inspired me to make a battle in mine soon ..... im liking how your story turned out so far |
 |
| I... don't know what to say... It is just amezing. That's all I can say :D |
| # 3 “Mmnngh!” I struggle against the binds that hold me. All my limbs are restrained, and I’m facing the sandy ground at an odd angle. It feels like tender vines against my bare skin, all over, and strangely warm. Greatly restricting, but oddly comforting. I’m outside, where it’s bright and sunny. But it’s shaded, and not too hot. “You’re alive!” I hear a clear voice by my ear, accompanied with a sudden growing softness against my back. I blush. “I’m alive?” “Sorry, I meant… You’re awake!” “I’m awake?” My restraints give way to a warm embrace. Vines give way to a pair of soft hands and arms. I’m able to turn around to take a look at the face of the girl who has her arms around me. I’m not so sure that I’m awake. She giggles. Her long hair is swept to the side in a large loose braid with thin vines embedded and around it. Clusters of white and pink flowers adorn her hair, framed by small green leaves. “I’m Mireille.♡” The girl says and smiles at me. Cloaked before, but naked now. Still, I easily recognize her from earlier. “Amelia,” I say, feeling quite reserved. “You seem very confused.” “I would say that I am. Like about your vines for example.” “Oh, I’m a dryad.” “Hmm, and why am I here?” “You have been chosen by the queen. I’m sure she can explain more. To you.” “Um, I see.” After eventually making some easy conversation, it’s time to confront the next enigma. Mireille leads me around some bushes and trees until water comes clearly into view. There are pretty trees growing around and in the water. People start to crowd around me. I recognize them from before. “I’m Lara,” says the scorpion girl. “I’m Shukashuu,” says the beetle girl. “Hi, I-I’m Amelia,” I say timidly to them. “Make way. We’re here to see the queen!” Mireille pushes past, and pulls me along. She pulls me into the water, and I helplessly follow. “Wait, what happened to my clothes?” I ask. I’ve forgotten. She giggles, and brings me to her. “Good, you’re awake.” Says the girl in white from before. The girl who kissed me. Now she’s resting in the water, lying against the bank, with her long dark hair tied up, with two mermaids, one by each shoulder. Even without clothes, she looks like royalty. She reaches out to touch my cheek, and smiles kindly at me. I don’t know what to say, so I say nothing. - - - A/N: Uuu, sorry if this one sucks. I’m experimenting. |
| wow that was really short, not very detailed as well :/ anyway it's good to see this moving and im curious why there are mermaids all of a sudden in what i assume is all dessert, as well as the strange insect girls... and what is the pharoah like? |
