Alex felt her shoulders tense up at the strange atmosphere in the cavernous halls. She wondered what kind of purpose the runes on the wall served. Were they seals like the blood seal? She shuddered at the thought of what those seals might be hiding, a memory of the Baku flashing through her...

"We're here to rescue the survivors..." Alex said. She looked at the Spartoi. "You're more familiar with this place than I am, where do you think the survivors would most likely be?" If this were a video game, she would have blindly picked a hallway, but they had a job to do here. Lady wouldn't...

Alex did not need to be told twice. She jumped away from the snake with a yelp, nearly tripping over her own feet. Faliq was heating up in her hands again, warmer than before, and she was flooded with feelings she couldn't quite place. Indignation, irritation, anger... then it hit her. It was...

Before what the Shadow had said ever registered to her, Alex already had a new arrow nocked and drawn, aiming right between those red eyes. Then she hesitated. Why was the thing talking to her? She couldn't think of a single good reason why it would want to know her name. She considered shooting...

Alex felt all of muscles tense up at once, then relax again. She felt like something out there was mocking her, she felt like it would pounce and she wouldn't be able to stop it because she couldn't see anything- And then, she felt Faliq warm up in her hands. Another growl sounded from the...

Alex didn't hesitate at the man's tone. Handling Faliq and the arrow she had already been holding into one hand, she took Coraxe out of its sheath with the other and handed the knife over. Within seconds she had her arrow drawn again, aiming for the dark hallway and waiting... Her skin crawled...

Alex kept an eye out for any Shadows - or rather, an ear since she couldn't see anything. Nothing seemed to be coming at them from the dark, however. "Can you light it?" she asked.

Alex thought about their options, relying on instincts she had honed through playing countless video games that took place in similar settings. Loud noises could attract unwanted guests, but did they have any other choice? If they were to be attacked right now, the lack of sight was certainly a...

Alex grinned, though she realized her Spartoi companion probably couldn't see it. "You know, I was only joking about the arrow. I don't think Faliq would appreciate me wasting arrows like that." She gazed down at the floor and around the hallway they were walking down, trying to be careful with...

Alex thought for a minute, not sure how to answer the demand. She certainly did not carry around a torch or anything of the sort. Now would be a great time for Faliq to reveal sudden iluminating powers. But, as Alex sent a question mark to the back of her mind she had come to think of Faliq's...

Alex entered the drain with Coraxe sheathed, and Faliq back in her hands. She felt a restless feeling overtake her, and waited impatiently for her eyes to adjust to the darkness so she could see. Faliq grew restless with her, and she gripped the bow a little tighter as she nocked an arrow. Just...

Alex nodded, trying to look like a proper Guardian and not a newbie who barely knew what she was doing. Part of her knew the far-off explosions and battle sounds should probably have been the main source for her being uneasy, but that wasn't the case. If anything, Faliq responded quite...

Alex frowned. How to break a-? Her eyes widened as her thoughts traveled back to her first night in Otherworld. The carving in the wardrobe. Great, so that was a usual occurance here, apparently. Seals. Her eyes flicked over to Coraxe for a second. Its pommel was glowing faintly, as if trying to...

Walking through a forest was supposed to be a relaxing activity, or so dozens of anti-stress sites had told Alex. Back in the human world she had scoffed at the idea, and Otherworld certainly hadn’t changed her mind on it. The forest was too thick. If an army of monsters were to surround them...

Alex smiled proudly as she took the bag of jerky from Lady. "Thanks," she said. It came out sounding a little breathless, as she had only just sat down. As it turned out, hiking was just as little her forté as running was. She took a small bite from the jerky and let out a content breath at the...
