She remained quite, but couldn't help the chuckle that escaped from her at the woman's words. For the first time in a long while, there was a thrill to it all, and her fear of losing control had started to dissolve into the shadows that smothered her appearance. There was no feeling of safety, no, that wasn't it. But finally something that told her she wasn't alone. Of course she made every effort to conceal every inch of whatever this was as she crept back towards the walls. Not to mention, the talk of food only made her hungry again. Come to think of it, she hadn't eaten since she got off the boat. She placed a hand on her stomach as if to quiet down any complaints it might have made and grimaced at the thought of the dinner she'd missed. Something was different this time though as she melded in with the hard surface behind her... it was getting hotter in the room especially towards the walls, despite the many places, how many cracks and holes there were for the air to vent out from. Sweat dripped from her chin and drenched the cloth that covered her. They needed to end this ... but how? What little was passed down by her mother and her mother's people ... it was nothing. There was a reason why she was disowned, and being some unwanted princess from a far away kingdom wasn't even half of it. Her eyes widened in a panic as she scanned the room for this thing. She didn't even know what it looked like. She never got a good view of it before it came inside. This wasn't her ideal setting and now she began cursing herself for even coming this far. She had no power over this thing? [color=darkcyan][i]What could shadows and fire do to something like this? Something that did all of this? If this truly is a demon, spawned in the depths of hell, how the hell am I going to defeat it?[/i][/color] The temperature was only rising, but she kept to her little corner at the edge of the room. She was suffocating in the heat, but at least here, the heat was all she had to worry about. For now ... she thought. Another few minutes passed by. She couldn't take it anymore, the temperature only continued to rise. What was building inside her ... it was now or die here from heat exhaustion. But she had no idea where he was or where to aim an attack. [color=darkcyan]"Fucking coward!"[/color] she shouted, her anger directed at the demon. [color=darkcyan]"Afraid of being beaten by a little girl?"[/color] [@Tabitha Jade] [@ArenaSnow]
