the Rift

AURELIA & KIADA

The water bubbles and hisses with the steam from Aurelia's hooves as she rises, but will she make it all the way..? Another sleek, black shadow darts through the disturbed waters, flicking just past Kiada's face before barreling straight towards the pegasus—a mouth yawning wide, filled with sharp, sharp teeth. With a piercing shriek it strikes, hoping to latch onto Aurelia's haunch and tear into the warm, warm meat.

K'YARIE, RIXEN, WAKER & OTEM

The agile bodies of the sirens dart out of the way of the glowing orbs, but it doesn't deter them for long. They merely twitch out of the way of the projectiles, arrowing for their targets with little regard of those around—they're too slow and cumbersome in the water, easy prey. The one that had gone for Otem suddenly veers away from its attempts to bite the large girl, dodging around the flailing Waker and heading for Rixen. It goes for his face, for his eyes, not hunting, but wishing to destroy. Despite his antics, Waker fails to dislodge the siren stuck to his neck; it reaches out with webbed fingers, hugging him and holding him close while biting deeper.

TAIVAS & ROSCORRO

Suspicion marks the smooth, alien features of the siren's face. Its black and beady eyes keeps darting between the glowing Taivas and the huge, lurking Roscorro, but so far, it makes no attempt to attack. It hangs warily between the stone pillars. Neither the mention of Kisamoa nor of hope seems to affect it; if anything, the lines around its eyes deepen. Still, it considers Taivas's words, its tail giving little flicks. "No," it finally says, voice grave, and for a moment it frowns into the distance, as if straining to hear something else that is going on. "There is fighting," it states, simply. "You can leave, to help them; or stay and fulfill your task, but doom them. Which do you choose?"
