Re: Corruption Tournament: Human Kingdom
(I've been enjoying this silly nonsense with Henrietta too much. It's almost a shame we have to fight now.)
Coming up to the doors, whilst it was hard to be entirely certain, Henrietta oddly appears to take note of Lizzy's warning, and mimics the duos mannerisms as they proceeded. Regardless, nothing seems to stand out among the plain stone architecture of the building. Lizzy's orb of light repelling the unnatural darkness as if blowing it away. The two magics seeming evenly matched and neutralising one another, resulting in the suns natural light finding it's way back down through the stain glass windows one by one as they advance. "Oh, he might not like that..." Henrietta mentions looking to the orb, in delayed realisation. Almost as if in answer, a low vocal rumble echoed through the spacious building, emanating from the opposite end of where they came in.
As the darkness dispelling wave finally reached the far end of the hall, a small isolated orb of it seemed to remain, floating just above the old altar. Perhaps somewhere between four and five feet in diameter, it's spherical surface rolled with strange inky smoke. "You have come. Welcome then!" A low voice rumbled out from it. It's sound less like it came from a natural voicebox, and more as if it had somehow boiled up from a bubbling lake or a fault in the earth. A single large eye opening lazily on it's surface to face them. The same eerie pink light that shone in Henrietta's eyes, but far more intense. "It has been a long time since I last entertained guests now. I was beginning to speculate that Arx Spes may have withered from the inside. But I am glad to see that the righteous remnant still resolve to send me their finest." The demon eye speaks, gazing between and seeming to appraise the two women. It says or does nothing more for the moment, allowing the duo to say their piece, ask their questions, or brandish their weapons. Whichever came.
