#histarteinteracts

After a few moments of silence, the sound of skittering limbs can be heard from within. A faint glow seems to come with them.*

@misty-memento

Histarte stared at the fog forming in her little cave in Verdania.

She had seen... many strange, impossible things in her recent life. She had been to the Abyss itself.

But she had never seen anything like this.

"... Hello?" She asked as she heard the skittering. Her keen senses were... not helping her here...

Histarte looked around. "No... No, no, no, I saw... I saw them grow back, they're back, where have they gone?" She looked around. "Where... Where... No, no, no, no!"

[A deep voice sounded from behind. It was familiar, in a comforting way.]

We would like to talk with you about something.

—@forger-of-bells

Histarte turns around, confused.

It was almost... difficult to recognize Forge Daughter, just because this was not the context she usually saw her in.

But she recovered.

In the place it used to be, there is an arrow scratched upon stone. It seems to point deeper yet into the Abyssal tunnels.

You are left to wonder if its intent was to help or to hurt.

Histarte's eyes followed the shade, observing its activity.

She saw the arrow.

"Forge Daughter," She said. "This arrow... It may be leading us to the lake that Ballow is possibly within. We should follow it."

With that, Histarte began to follow.

You hear an obnoxious Alot of Buzzing, faced with a odd miscolored Freshfly before you. This can't be good-

"Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz!"

Histarte was, for the slightest moment, confused.

And then she understood.

They probably hit the lever with their body as they fell because suddenly a tall, white and nudes lady tumbles down into the hallway by the forge. She groans with pain as she simply lies there.

@dryya-the-resurrected

Histarte's face flushed at the sight, staring at Dryya, and she waved jauntily at her.

"Er. Hi. Why are you naked?" She asked.

When the two were sufficiently far away enough from the Gloom Gargant, they left the disguise.

Histarte took deep breaths from relief.

"I'm... I'm glad that worked. But... I'm worried it won't work a second time."

She looked around, shining the light.
