Blood. Blood, every night, the blood. Flashes of her nightmare always seemed to play back to her, the worst remembrance of that dark day and the horrible dreams that had followed it since coming when she was nearest to the two sisters that she traveled with. Every night she caught a glimpse of the "Bloodied Paradise" that the horror who had destroyed her old life had promised, that it said her sisters were working to create but that the pair vehemently denied knowing anything about.
She woke up in a tavern bedroom, alone. Her sisters had paid for it, usually being the ones who managed their trip money instead of the younger Oria, but had skipped out early without waking her for some reason. It was hardly the first time she'd woken up alone though, and her gear was all right where she'd left it.
They were in a tiny inn called Jester's Retort in the town of Asylum. They were here on a job, retrieving an artifact from a shrine to an old god located in the mountains to the Northeast, but a storm had come over the area and they were currently stuck. The snow was coming down hard and heavy, and she could hear that the wind was as strong as it'd been the night before. The oaken floor creaked softly as she stirred on the large bed, the down bedding soft against her bare skin, but as they were waiting at this point she had time to lay around if she preferred, the room dim due to the cloud cover outside despite the early hour.
