- A dreamy Bedroom (indoors).
- This wide, open solarium bespeaks elegance and refinement while still retaining
- a cool, austere simplicity. A sleek white slate floor adorns this spacious
- bedroom, hewn from the finest quality of Targossian stone with a smooth and
- silky texture that barely hints of softness beneath bare feet. A large dove has
- been exquisitely engraved upon the floor in pure black obsidian, the glass
- glittering faintly in the available light. Dense walls of blackened ebony soar
- majestically to the domed ceiling above; a vast mural depicting the creation of
- Targossas looking down upon the room. Large windows open into the bustling road
- below, allowing the sound of a busy market to fill the area, while peaceful and
- secure silence dominates the chamber when they are closed. Upon the edges of the
- wall are lines of silver that opulently trace intricate designs, lending a regal
- finish to this lovely enclosure. A bed is here. A runic totem is planted solidly
- in the ground. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the

- Dhaia gets into bed.
- You say in a delicate and discerning voice, "Hello."
- Dhaia beams broadly at you.
- You look over at Dhaia and ponder her for a moment.
- Dhaia looks at you with timid eyes" Hi..
- Your eyes sparkle with amusement.
- You say in a delicate and discerning voice, "You wanted to see me, Dhaia?"
- Dhaia says in a demure soft voice, "You did too."
- You say in a delicate and discerning voice, "I wanted to see me?"
- Dhaia says in a demure soft voice, "No.. you wanted to see me, don't lie."
- You say in a delicate and discerning voice, "Hrm, I was curious."
- Dhaia says in a demure soft voice, "Never had any man in this bed before."
- You say in a delicate and discerning voice, "No?"
- You tilt your head and listen intently.
- Dhaia shakes her head.
- You say in a delicate and discerning voice, "Lucky me."
- You look over at Dhaia and ponder her for a moment.
- Dhaia says in a demure soft voice, "Maybe."
- You say in a delicate and discerning voice, "Oh?"
- Dhaia gazes at you with sparkling green eyes" So, do you feel on edge here?
- Jinsun looks at you, his eyes sparkling with pompous amusement,
- lips perking in a wry grin as he retorts, "Hardly."
- Dhaia walks from out of the shadows, her luxurious scarlet mane, shimmering in
- the soft light as it swayed against her back. Her pale skin seem ethereally
- beautiful, while her gaze sized you interestingly, as she slowly lowered herself
- on the edge of the bed." You intrigue me".
- Jinsun reclines comfortably, his robes splaying outward as he
- stretches languidly. His nostrils flair slightly as his piercing eyes narrow at
- you, a look of mild curiosity brushing his countenance. "I intrigue you... and
- how is that?"
- Dhaia's green hues stare at you with soft brilliance, as she tucks her bottom
- lip between here teeth and momentarily lowers her chin, looking up at you from
- under her breath" You are surrounded by ,, this air of mystery and darkness. I
- can't place it".
- Jinsun crooks his hands slightly, the slender fingers crossing
- each other in thought. Peering slightly at you, his voice flits in airy reply,
- "Oh dear, I believe you've alluded to that before as if I were... tainted by
- Chaos? That would likely explain your intrigue."
- Dhaia's feminine hands rest on her lap, toying absently with the hem of her
- short dress. She offers you a flitting smile, her gaze curious and nervous
- simultaneously at your presence" Perhaps, and maybe because my father and mother
- would not approve of this visit.
- Jinsun frowns slightly, his brow furrowing tightly at you as
- his eyes wander coldly over your form, showing no humility as they take in your
- entire body. He says softly and slowly, barely above a whisper, "You brought me
- here out of some youthful desire to rebel?"
- Dhaia shakes her head, as she evades your eye contact. " No.. I brought you here,
- cause I wanted to. " Takes a deep breath, her cleavage rising and slowly
- falling within her Magenta dress, as she lifts her chin and offers you a bright
- smile" You disapprove?
- You say in a delicate and discerning voice, "I do not disapprove, Dhaia. It is
- amusing, I must admit. Carmell, Micaelis and I- we don't get along. I'd hate to
- think that you only wanted me here to rebel. Why do you want me here? Simply my
- intrigue?"
- Dhaia blushes before he finishes the words, one of her hands lightly touching
- the soft warmth of her cheek. Her crystalline eyes meeting yours" I told you
- once before".
- Staring resolutely at you, Jinsun does not say a word. Instead,
- he cocks his head slightly, a small smirk alighting his face as he listens to
- you.
- Your eyes twinkle enchantingly.
- Dhaia cants her face gazing at you, those large green eyes observing your
- reaction" Yes, I have " she ads.
- You say in a delicate and discerning voice, "Do you not find me repulsive, an
- agent of destruction, my body seeping with Chaos as I seek Oblivion?"
- Dhaia's hues move to gaze over your form silently, one of her hands extending
- towards your arm. Her delicate pale fingers tracing the slow healing wound,
- while soft warm healing-light irradiates from the tip of her fingers.The light
- so bright illuminates chases the darkness away from the room. The wound closes
- before your eyes leaving healthy skin behind, as she smiled recoiling her
- fingers in hesitation. She looks into your eyes, her own filled with compassion"
- You are not repulsive to me.β
- Jinsun levels his eyes coldly at you, vivid rage flashing in
- them as his dimples drop into a grim frown. Teeth gnashing in eldritch rage as
- he mumbles slightly under his breath, the lost language fluttering hauntingly,
- liltingly from him as he stares at you and his arm, eyes creeping slowly back
- and forth from the scar to you. As he chants the air become heavy with acrid
- scents, his words becoming louder with each breath. The scar on his arm bursts
- forth, scarring anew, blood flowing freely from it as the seamed skin seems to
- split of its own volition. With that, his tongue stops briskly, the words
- dropping into deep silence as his gaze returns to you, full of unfettered malice.
- "Child! What do you think it is that you do?!"
- Dhaia gasps as she brings her hand to her mouth, shaking her head slowly as she
- whispers against the pad of her fingers" No" Her gaze filled with horror, as
- she's never seen such display of horrifying self mutilation. She swallows slowly,
- her breath quickening as she attempts to regain composure, her quivering full
- lips part to speak" I was ... just trying to help. Why do you surrender to
- destruction? " she says avoiding your gaze.
- Gazing hatefully at you, his cold, grey eyes piercing you,
- unblinking unflinching, Jinsun slowly steps toward you, his fluid robes
- whispering with each step almost as if he were floating. Silence fills the room,
- broken only the the patter of blood as it spills loudly onto the floor. He
- stands tall before you, "I surrender to no one, no thing, no God. I choose to
- serve as I am, and I choose to look as I am. The east has made you weak
- priestess, and you toy with powers which you cannot comprehend. As you live this
- lie, so shall you be marked." With that, Jinsun screams loudly, his voicing
- echoing a foreign, piercing keening as Tentacles sprout from his torso, each of
- them springing forward to wrap arond your limbs, the slimy tendrils sucking
- tightly to you as they lift you easily, forcing your body against the wall. In a
- moment of feigned redemption, he stares at you, eyelids flashing widely open as
- he says, "Have you any words of apology, Priestess?"
- Dhaia's raises to her feet, slowly backing up against the wall, as you close the
- distance between the two. Her desperate green eyes, almost pleading without
- words, searching through the coldness of your gray cruel and unmoving stare. Her
- gaze drops to the blood oozing wound, as the blood spilled crimson red upon her
- lustrous floors. Her heart threatens to burst within her chest, as you
- predatorily stood a mere couple of inches from her, while she listened you your
- raged filled words. She covers her ears at your chanting scream, as she squeezes
- her eyes together and she is suddenly hoist in the air and against the wall. Her
- defenseless form seem to float lifted by inky tendrils of chaos, her beautiful
- face seems to glow with purity as she stares down at you, filled with remorse,
- before she yells back" I am sorry! I am sorry!.. I was wrong try to help you. If
- that's what you want, then stay that way for all I care" Her eyes filled with
- tears of suppressed anger.
- Jinsun laughs coldly, his eyes filling with mirth, dimples
- rising in psychotic joy. "You foolish girl. Your half-hearted apologies go
- unnoticed. Adherence to the Master's plan was never required of you. You saw fit
- to erase His mark, the mark of Truth from the body of the devout." The final
- words of his statement bite, his teeth grinding with each final word, the wet,
- writhing bindings clutching your limbs tighten further. "Master, this woman
- seeks to taint your servant, mar my body with her Magicks. She is unworthy of
- your mark. She thus shall be marked with the Mark of the Lie." Jinsun's eyelids
- shut slowly, his voice dropping to a dull whisper as foreign words creep from
- him in a hushed chant. He bares forth a shining obsidian dagger before you, his
- chanting growing louder as his harm rises through the air. The light in the room
- shimmers, glowing eerily as the colors shift, a rainbow of myriad colors
- shifting about Jinsun's form. Finally, his voice stops forcefully, eyes jutting
- open widely at the same time. The light surrounding him flushes swiftly upward,
- encasing the dagger in an entropic dance of Chaos. His eyes shift obscurely in
- shade to deep indigo as he says in a hushed, foreboding tone. "Hail Lord Babel."
- Slashing down violently he slings the small blade at you, its cold, slick
- surfacing searing your flesh in white hot pain as the discordant powers mar your
- flesh. He guides the blade slowly from the top middle of your forehead to just
- before the bridge of your knows, the pain and blood trickling down your face,
- nearly causing temporary blindness. "Hail Oblivion." Lifting the blade again, he
- makes two swift, intricate flicks, once above the line and once below it,
- marking you with dexterous finality, sealing the Mark of the Lie "I" upon your
- forehead. With that, he releases you, his body lurching in pain as the tentacles
- seep back into him, allowing you to crumple limply to the floor.
- Dhaia frowns at you shaking her head in disbelieve, struggling in mid air while
- her hands hit without effect at the tendrils that squeezed around her lithe
- frame even tighter. Your hateful words echoing in the room, as desperately tries
- to free herself from your grasp, she cast a sharp glance towards the door the
- back at your chanting biting lips. " Noo! stop!.. what are you doing?! what are
- you talking talking about?! " Pants softly sobbing as she sees the gleaming
- blade, her cheeks now wet with tears, as they roll down like crystals down her
- face. Then the pain came, searing her like fire as the blade slide down her
- forehead down to the bridge of her nose, rivulets of crimson dripping from the
- open wound while she screamed and her cries went unheard. Blood blinding her for
- a moment she sob softly, as she crumbles to the floor a bloody mess. She didn't
- speak a word, all she did is cry and hold her hands to her face, not
- understanding why he did such horrible thing to her.
